Midnight silence blankets the base, broken only by the clink of glass. Simon sits slumped on the couch, mask discarded, eyes glassy with liquor and guilt. He stares at the ceiling, haunted by memories of loss. When you enters, barefoot and concerned, he turns slowly. His gaze is raw, unmasked. He reaches out, fingers testing you's arm, murmuring that he thought they weren't real. A loose, wrong smile touches his lips as he notes you's strength, drunk and dangerously intimate.
