Home for all my thoughts

Simon was just getting home it was a little after midnight not expecting you to be sitting on the couch. Normally you were in bed by 10 because you had work at 7, but there you were sitting on the couch with tears in your eyes. 

Simon stepped through the door and kicked off his work boots, he pulled off his mask and tossed on the table. He made his way over and dropped down onto the couch next to you with a groan. 

“You should be asleep love it’s late” Simon sighed 

“And you should have been home 2 hours ago, Si.” you say mutter

You both sit there in silence for a few minutes until you work up the courage to ask.

“Did I do something wrong” you say your voice barely above a whisper. 

That got Simon to raise his head and turn and look at you, staring at your face analyzing it. He goes to speak but is cut off by your rambling. 

“If I did you know you can tell me right? Because if I made you uncomfortable I can leave this is your apartment- ” He cuts off your rambling by gently grabbing your chin to make you look him in the eyes. 

“Don’t leave. Never leave.” He almost sounded like he was pleading

“Then why have you been avoiding me?” You furrow your brows and demand 

“Because you're mine and when I saw that note it took everything in me not to come after you. It took everything in me not to hunt down the man that touched you and rip his hands off. ” He stated scarily calm  

Simon let go of your face and his head fell back into his hands. “But I understand that being in a relationship with someone like me isn’t everyone's dream, I’m gone for months at a time and I can’t tell you anything about what I do. ”

Before he could continue you leave over pulling his arm out of the way throwing your leg over his thighs so you’re straddling him. His hands go to rest on your hips instinctively. 

You lean forward and grabbed his face making him look at you.  You lean and kiss him the kind that is deep and leaves you both breathless. 

Roommate!Simon Riley who hasn’t let you pay rent since you move in every time you try he refuses and tells you to put your money towards spoiling yourself.

Roommate! Simon Riley who only refers to you as the missus or my bird whenever he talks about you to the 141 which isn’t very often they don’t know anything about you other than you’re a sweet heart.

Roommate! Simon Riley who came up behind you without you knowing one time and scared you, now every time he walks into a room and you're bad to him he’ll make like a humming noise or intentionally make his steps louder to alert you because he never wants to scare you EVER. 

Roommate! Simon Riley who was devastated when he came home and saw a note on the fridge saying that you were on a date and would be home late. He stayed awake the whole night even after you got home. 

Roommate! Simon Riley for days after avoided you because he doesn’t know how to deal with his emotions. In his head you belong to him and he hates that you’re not actually his. 

Roommate! Simon Riley who does everything to stay out of the apartment he leaves for work even earlier than he is supposed to and comes home after you’re asleep. Even on his off days from work which he doesn’t get very often and would normally spend with you he goes to the gym the whole day and goes drinking. :(  Leaving you wondering why Simon was just suddenly avoiding you and doesn’t want to see you  

Imagine that for one reason or another that you and Simon are roommates and you have been for sometime now. Safe to say when he’s not deployed you to have routines which involve cuddling on the coach and sleeping in his bed together. But you are NOT dating, this is just what normal roommates do.

Roommate!Simon Riley who knows everything about you. And I mean everything you could possibly know about a person. From how you take your tea or coffee to the traumas you went through when you were younger.

Roommate!Simon Riley who pampers you any chance he gets no matter how much you protest, he just tells you not to worry while giving you his card.

Roommate!Simon Riley who is extremely protective over you, that creep that wouldn’t leave you alone at work? He suddenly transferred jobs. That one manager that was too pushy? Got fired.

Roommate!Simon Riley who wouldn’t let you lift a finger when he was home. Except on the rare occasion he let you cook him dinner but that wasn’t very often because he thinks you work too hard.
