Steam curled in the dim light of the deployment room, clinging to you’s skin as they stepped in, exhausted from the mission. Simon lay on the bed, boots discarded, the signature skull balaclava still masking his face. He turned, his eyes tracking you’s approach. The atmosphere was heavy with quiet intimacy. As you lay down, shoulder brushing his, Simon’s hand covered theirs. Instinctively, he reached for the lamp to dim the light, but you stopped his wrist. Their fingers drifted to the edge of the fabric. The question hung in the air: trust. Simon paused, then kissed you’s knuckles before slowly pulling the mask free, exposing his face fully to the light, unguarded and real.
