A/N: I was listening to some metal music. (Reliving my teenage years when I used to blast metal through my earphones at the highest volume while walking)
And suddenly, a random scene with Simon appeared in my head.
Imagine being at a concert with Simon.
The band is playing, the vocalist's voice raw and heavy, drums echoing through the venue while electric guitar notes balance the rest of the musical chaos.
Everyone is having a good time, jumping, headbanging, longer hair moving to the rhythm of the music.
You and Simon are somewhere in the pit, though far enough from the center to avoid getting crushed between people. He insisted on staying more on the edge, and honestly, you could not agree more with him. Some people forget concert etiquette and have no respect for personal space.
A cool drink rests in your hand, while a canned beer rests in his.
From time to time, you shout over the music that this is your favorite song, and Simon simply watches you smiling and singing along to the lyrics.
At some point, Simon steps away for just a second, and some random man decides to make the new empty space his own.
You give the dude a disgusted look, trying to move away from him, yet he does not seem to understand the hint.
Simon returns, immediately noticing the scene and the distressed expression overtaking your features.
He taps the man on the shoulder, trying to get his attention.
The dude mutters something under his breath, the way his mouth moves making it seem like he said, what the fuck do you want?
Simon is more than ready to show him exactly what he fucking wants.
He shoves the man against the barrier. The fucker turns in confusion, not even realizing what hit him before looking up at your boyfriend.
Simon looms over him, while the man quickly raises his hands in defense, desperately searching for a way out. Stepping aside just enough to let him pass, giving him one final warning stare.
You approach Simon, placing a hand against his arm.
"You alright?" he whispers against your ear.
You nod once before pressing a kiss to his cheek, reassuring him.
He guides you closer against his body, wanting to shield you better from the rest of the crowd.
And more than anything, wanting you to enjoy the experience in peace.
