More socky and their “secret third thing” of a relationship.
Would you hate me if I said I love them together sm? Idk how to explain it. But the idea of Simon being able to, for once, just be non-serious and have fun with someone. Freely be a dork without feeling judged. Ugh it warms my heart. It also helps him build the courage to properly meet Grace. (Since this is technically related to my last post) Also if you’re wondering how he’s able to hold Rocky, not only do I imagine he has a strength buff because of his mutations, but his xenonite arm does a lot of the heavy lifting. And as you could tell, once he’s on Erid he gets surgery to remove his teeth ingrowns.
My favorite idea for them is that they love to watch a bunch of movies together, which results in them randomly singing/dancing. Simon also gets a kick out of yapping abt anything he’s watched alone. I’m lowkey torn between if he would be okay with irl acted films or would still need a lot of time. He definitely couldn’t watch them immediately, but I love to picture he starts becoming one of those “he just like me” people after every film. (Aka all of us -yes- US) I think them being on a screen and being actors makes it easy for him to disconnect from his fear. And if he gets too stressed out he can just turn it off. If you were wondering, he definitely has a preference for feel-good movies. He absolutely despises horror films and needs like a full week recovery if he watches something sad.
Also as to why he’s specifically watching an action movie in the doodle is perhaps because I had a silly coltland twins idea in mind
