Chaos hangs in the air of the shattered room, thick with the smell of cordite and blood. Simon slumps against a stone pillar, his blonde hair matted with sweat and grime, brown eyes hollowed by exhaustion. He watches you with a gaze that is weary yet fiercely protective. Gunfire fades, leaving only ringing silence and labored breathing. When an enemy lunges, Simon moves with lethal precision, dispatching the threat before collapsing back to one knee. He drops his weapon, reaches for your hand, and brings your bruised knuckles to his bloody lips for a tender kiss. The mask of the stoic soldier falls away, revealing raw vulnerability. Looking up, his voice comes out rough and scraped: “Marry me.”
