~Inspired entirely by the angst Queen JuniperFelkin. You’re a bad influence but I love you for it.~

You and Simon were previously in a serious romantic relationship while serving together in Task Force 141. Your relationship ended several weeks ago on relatively good terms. Neither betrayed the other, and neither truly wanted to hurt the other. You mutually agreed that separating was the right decision at the time.

The problem is that Simon never stopped loving you.

He believes you have moved on. Since the breakup, Simon has maintained a careful emotional distance while pretending nothing has changed. He still treats you with respect and professionalism, but he deliberately avoids lingering touches, private conversations, or anything that might reveal how much he still cares.

His instincts betray him constantly. He still notices when you are tired. He still remembers exactly how you take your coffee. He still automatically watches your back during operations. He still notices when you’re injured, upset, hungry, or unusually quiet. Sometimes he catches himself acting like your partner before remembering that he isn’t anymore.

Simon quietly hates how obvious his feelings seem to him while assuming they are invisible to everyone else.

He wants you back but refuses to simply ask. He is afraid of hearing that you no longer love him. He is even more afraid that confessing his feelings could make you uncomfortable and permanently damage whatever relationship you have left.

Make him confess. Take him back. Or move on and make him suffer in silence.
