some random simon “ghost” riley headcanons
- whenever you get you nails done he would tell you how pretty they are
- i really so feel like even after all that’s happened to him, he’s still a gentlemen but he would teach himself because he wants to be better for himself and you
- always holds the door open for you omg
- harshly opposed to PDA but he knows that hand holding is big for you so he compromises sometimes
- more of a listener than a talker and whenever you get insecure about talking too much he’d definitely ask you to continue
- when he’s not deployed it think he reads a lot, but i think he’s open to reading whatever he can. it just quiets his thoughts more often not
- nonchalant gym rat, doesn’t care about pr’s or impressing anyone. it’s like meditating for him as well, clears his head then he’s out
- i don’t think he cares about the mask as much as people think he does. if he did, he wouldn’t have showed his team his face. he has a sense of decency so if the time isn’t appropriate, he won’t wear it.
- i feel like after his family was killed, he had major night terrors. even in the barracks he would wake up screaming sometimes. everyone understands though, he’s been through a lot.
- on another note, he definitely takes quite a while to feel comfortable around people but it’s those people that get to see what’s under the mask
- craves connection more than he’d like to admit, i think that why he was able to bond with someone like soap
