Simon "ghost" riley - the time he didn't come home.
1. He left without saying a word.
No note. No glance back. Just a mission brief and boots on pavement. You didnât realize it at the time, but it wasnât just another job. It was a goodbye he couldnât bear to speak.
2. He told himself he was doing you a kindness.
That disappearing would spare you the fallout. The grief. The burden of trying to love someone who doesn't know how to stay... That's why.
3. Every mile he traveled away from you made him feel heavier.
Not freer. Not safer. Just⌠emptier.
4. The mission ended, but he didnât go home.
He lingered in a safehouse. Days passed in silence. Ghost stared at his phone like it owed him something he couldnât name.
5. He thought he was protecting you.
Until the loneliness cut so deep, he realized: he wasnât shielding you. He was punishing himself.
6. It was your silence that broke him.
No pleading texts. No angry voicemails. Just nothing. For the first time, he had no proof that you'd still be there if he came back.
7. The turning point came in a moment so small, it shouldâve meant nothing.
A strangerâs kindness. A familiar scent. A memory of your voice saying something stupid and warm. And he broke.
8. When he finally walked through your door...
He looked like a ghost in more ways than one. Hollowed out. Prepared for angerâor worse, indifference. But he showed up anyway.
9. You didnât scream. You didnât run. You just stared â then opened your arms.
And he hesitated... before collapsing into them like they were the only safe thing left in the world.
Because even if you don't know it, they were. You were.
10. He still doesnât understand why you forgave him.
But he doesnât waste it.
These days, when he leaves, he says goodbye.
And when he returns, he always comes back to you.
I'm not convinced by this post, I feel like it's not good :(

Heâs used to fighting through tiredness, but sometimes, it hits him all at once. Turning sharp, calculated movements into slow, heavy ones.
2. He gets quietâsofter.
The usual edge in his voice fades. His responses are shorter, more subdued. Heâs not cold, just⌠running low.
3. He melts into warmth.
When sleep takes over, he unconsciously shifts closer. The warmth of a blanket, your touchâanything that anchors him.
4.Heâs harder to wake when heâs truly asleep.
It takes a lot to get him to rest, but when he does, heâs out. His body shuts down completely, recharging after weeks of pushing past exhaustion.
5. You notice the tension fade from his muscles.
When he sleeps, the usual rigidity is gone. His shoulders arenât squared. His jaw isnât clenched. For once, he looks at peace.
6. If you move away, he reactsâwithout waking.
A subconscious pull... his fingers finding yours, a slight shift toward the warmth he just lost. Even in sleep, part of him refuses to let go.
7. Mumbling in his sleep happens more than he admits.
Itâs rare, but when exhaustion really takes over, quiet words escape him. Half-formed thoughts. Echoes of memories. Maybe even your name.
8. His mask comes off when heâs completely drained.
Not because heâs comfortableâjust because *he physically canât keep it on anymore*. If heâs sleeping deeply, itâs off.
9. If nightmares hit, he doesnât always wake up fullyâjust enough to tense up.
You feel it in his breathing, the way his fingers tighten ever so slightly. But if you soothe himâwhisper something, brush your fingers over hisâhe relaxes again.
10. The first time he wakes up next to you, rested, he doesnât know what to do.
Heâs used to waking up alone, always alert, always ready. But now? Heâs just there. With you. And for a moment, thatâs enough.
Hey, Hazel! I just wanted to know how Simon would react the first time you told him 'I love you'. Would he freak out? Or say it back?
Love your posts!
Hello, anon! That's a good idea for a post, actually.
(I don't know where you got my name from but oh well)
Simon âGhostâ Riley headcanons! (First 'I love you' edition)
1. He doesnât see it coming.
You say it so effortlessly... like breathing, like truth. And it knocks the wind out of him.
2. He freezes.
Not because he doesnât feel the same, but because those words mean so much to him. Maybe too much.
Love... You loved him...
3. His first instinct is silence.
He stares. You wonder if you said the wrong thing. If you scared him off. If heâs going to walk away.
4. But then, his breathing shifts.
Not raggedâbut sharp. Controlled. Like heâs reeling himself back from something fragile.
5. He doesnât say it back right away.
Not because he doesnât mean it, but because if he says it, itâs real. Itâs vulnerable. And Ghost doesnât do vulnerable. Never.
6. Later, he shows it instead.
A hand on your back for no reason. Coffee already waiting when you wake up. Extra ammo left by your kit. Quiet little actions that scream louder than any words.
7. But when he finally says it...
Itâs quiet. Almost a whisper. Maybe right before a mission. Or when he thinks youâre asleep. But itâs there. And itâs undeniable.
8. Itâs not smooth or romantic.
Itâs awkward. Raw. Maybe even a little broken.
â...I love you.â
Simple. Unsteady. Real.
9. After that, he says it like heâs afraid youâll take it back.
Like the words are something fragile heâs been allowed to borrow. Something he doesnât think he deserves.
10. But when he sees your reactionâ
The smile. The relief. The way you say it back without hesitation... it settles something deep in him.
"I love you too, my pretty boy..."
And for the first time in years, Simon Riley feels wanted. Not just useful. Not just needed. Loved.
