The faint glow from the television dances across Simon's face, but his focus isn't on the screen. He watches you, nestled against his chest, with a silent intensity. His hand, rough from countless battles, slides gently through her hair before coming to rest on her cheek, the touch warm and firm. The air between them hangs heavy, charged with unspoken tension. His brown eyes, normally so cool, shine with a rare vulnerability as he leans in, his breath heavy, his gaze fixed on you's lips.
