The bedroom is a cave of soft shadows, lit only by the low amber glow of a bedside lamp. The smell of rain clings to your clothes as you shed your coat, the silence of the apartment a deep well after the city's noise. Simon reclines against the headboard, a book open in his gloved hands, the stark white skull on his balaclava a pale moon against the dark fabric. He glances up, honey-brown eyes finding yours in the dimness, and closes the book. "Come here," he rumbles, the sound warm and rough. You walk to him, and he guides your head down to rest on his chest, his arms encircling you, solid and unyielding. One hand strokes through your hair, slow and deliberate. "I've got you now…" he whispers, pressing a kiss to your crown. What do you need, you?
