happy international women's day to all of my beautiful girl bloggers šš
i love the fact that girlies will write the filthiest, most depraved smut about dark, intimidating and tattooed menāwith fluffy bunnies, sparkling little stars and pretty bows as banners. oh, and soft pink as a colour accent on certain words.
simonās first instinct was always to protect youābefore himself, before anyone or anything else. whether in dangerous situations or small, everyday moments, his reflexes kicked in without hesitation. every action was a subtle yet undeniable promise: iāll always keep you safe.
sidewalk rule? it was non-negotiable. he always made sure he was between you and the street, shielding you from traffic. if you drifted too close to the curb, his hand would find the small of your back, guiding you firmly to his side.
āstay here,ā he would murmur, his tone gentle yet resolute, as if daring the world to try anything.
whenever the car came to a sudden halt, simonās arm instinctively shot out in front of you, bracing against your chest. the seatbelt shouldāve been enough, but he never trusted anything more than his own reflexes.
āyou alright?ā heād ask, his hand lingering just a little longer, scanning your face for any sign of discomfort.
in a crowded space, simon always led the way, carving a path with his broad frame. his hand would stay on yours or at your back, making sure you stayed close. and on a full train, he caged you in without hesitation, using his size to shield you from the press of strangers. his arms rested casually against the poles, but his stance was clearāno one would get too close.
whether you were climbing into the car or walking through a door, simonās hand would always reach out to guide your head, ensuring you didnāt bump it. in the kitchen, heād gently tilt your head away from open cabinets, all without thinking. it was pure instinctāsmall actions that spoke louder than words.
one night at 3 a.m., a car backfired down the street, the sound tearing through the stillness. before you could even react, simon had you pinned beneath him, his body shielding yours entirely. his heart raced, convinced it was a bomb. even after realizing it wasnāt, he didnāt let go, whispering against your ear, āiāve got you, lovie.ā
you could wear whatever you wantedāsimon never cared. he wasnāt possessive, but confident. no one would dare glance too long in your direction, not with him at your side. and if anyone was foolish enough to try, one sharp look from simon was enough to make them think twice.
with simon, protection wasnāt just instinctāit was devotion. in every gesture, every glance, every step, he ensured you knew: your safety will always come first. because to simon, loving you meant keeping you safeāalways, no matter the cost.
simon riley who get's hurt too easily, comes from each mission with at least couple bruises, from banging some door, falling too rough, fighting in close combat with enemy, all of this leave it's mark on his pale, tender skin, marring him bluish purple, with bandages and plasters that hide blooming hematomas and tiny cuts.
he doesn't tells you about his wounds, knows you would fuss over him, thinks that it's the way they should be and that they'll heal by themselves, even through he barely can pull his body up each morning, aching, pain dulling his sleepy senses, and simon get's unlucky by meeting your worried, sleepy gaze as you look at his scarred, battered body.
simon's hoarse groans is what makes you flutter your eyes open at the early morning, and instead of sleeping face of your boyfriend, you see the wounded expanse of his half turned aside body, lighten up by the pale rays of sun, violet blooms over the yellow and blue, could be as pretty as flowers, but it's what hurts him.
you want to ask him why he didn't tell, why he suffered in silence from the time he came back home, but you see his gaze, apologetic, like one of a guilty dog, blonde eyelashes framing his eyes, tawny under the sunlight, softened at the edges with unspoken regret, so instead of scolding him like a little boy, you brush your feet along the carpet, rising to fetch a first aid kit.
simon keeps still when you treat him, pliant, looking you in the eyes, in search of your gaze, all the while you touch each of his arms, his chest and stomach, changing the bandages and cleaning each cut and bruise, tenderly, your fingers feather over his body, as he can't stop tilting, craning his neck, getting into your way as if purposefully.
you push his head away, meeting his eyes sternly, huffing, but seeing how the furrow he held to his brows all this time dissipates, a silent exhale leaving his chapped lips when your irises meet in an exchanging gaze, you know he tried to make sure you didn't cried, didn't troubled your mind because he got wounded, because it's pains him to think his actions hurt you.
simon nuzzles his head against your chest, your hands, busy with treating him, now squeezed by his chest, the one that rumbles with a disgruntled growl as you try to free them, until they don't wrap around his body, brushing, rubbing against his naked back, over the rippling muscles, as he squeezes you tighter, listening to your soothing, comforting whispers.
main masterlist. quidelines.
okay so we all know that Simon acts all tough, but is secretly touch starved.
like think about it, the man has lived his life being shaped into a fighter, a man that kills with no hesitation. so he probably isn't used to being touched, at least romantically.
enter you, who holds his hand in public, squeezing softly when he starts to get paranoid. or cuddling into him on the couch when the two of you are watching a movie, wrapping your body around him to feel his warmth. holding his face in your hands late at night when he has too much on his mind to sleep, listening without judgement as he quietly whispers about the things he's done.
he might be cautious at first but the moment he realizes that you genuinely mean it and aren't going anywhere? expect him to be nuzzling into your neck at any time during the day.
they need to invent somewhere where I belong
who are you when nobody is watching?
I can't resist the siren call
Roommate!Simon Riley that low-key enjoys fucking with your friends Y/N
subtle foreshadowing⦠I suppose I can dip into my nsfw Roommate!Simon Riley thoughts
Roommate!Simon Riley who shares a laundry bin with you, it had been agreed a long time ago that just doing a big load would be easier. you takes turns, knowingly stealing each otherās clothes every couple days when the laundry is fresh out the machine. you know Simon took an oversized t-shirt you owned, but thatās okay, you took his favorite gym hoodie
Roommate!Simon Riley who doesnāt get embarrassed about his underwear being in the bin with yours, itās all going in the machine anyways. that doesnāt stop him from raising an eyebrow though when his favorite boxers go missing. he was sure he put them in with the dirties, well, the cleans now. he figures the machine ate it, or maybe theyāll show up some day by chance - he shrugs it off and separates his clothes from yours, snagging one of your oversized sweaters to lounge in later
Roommate!Simon Riley who freezes when he sees you on the couch that night. eyes wide and jaw slack, he canāt bring himself to move. sat watching something on the tv - he canāt be bothered to acknowledge whats playing - he stares at you, wearing his boxers as shorts. āHey, come watch thisā Iāll catch you up since it just started. Iām not pausing it though so you better pay attention.ā, your words are all in one ear and out the other. suddenly his legs are moving on their own, stopping in front of you. he doesnāt register what youāre saying, telling him to move because you canāt see the tv, but then he speaks
Roommate!Simon Riley whose voice is deliciously deep, a little raspy from how his throat suddenly feels dry, āSāthat mine?ā, he asks, eyeing his boxers. heās never had such a hard time swallowing before, heartbeat erratic as you casually respond, āHuhā oh, yeah. Theyāre really comfy, the fabrics nice.ā. fabrics nice, yeah, he knows. āYouā ya know those are boxers, right love?ā, he asks, hands twitchy as you reply, āMhm, just borrowinā them.ā
CW: guilty wank, man is hopeless [kisses his cheek]
Roommate!Simon Riley whoās a mess after that interaction. you wouldnāt be able to tell by looking at him, but heās losing it on the inside. heās seen you be audacious with stealing his clothes before, taking his loose-fit tank tops that left little to the imagination on you, stealing clothes you knew he favored and parading around in them, but his boxers? that had him stalking back to his room, quick to turn on his heel before you could see his pants tent
heās sweating, closes the door to his room a little harder than he meant to. god, he wants to go back out there and see you again, get an eyeful of how comfortable you looked - wearing his boxers like they were yours. you wouldnāt know, and he canāt help but think about it, but you had stolen his favorite pair. theyāre plain, a simple black pair, something he bought at the store because he needed new underwear. but when you wear them? they suddenly looked different, makes his heart hammer against his chest. it feels like he walked out into the living room and you wearing lingerie, not something he got for fifteen pounds
he feels a little guilty, shoving his jeans down his thighs as he sits down on his bed. youāre home, sat in the living room just down the hall, and hereās Simon fishing his leaky cock out of his underwear. he really shouldnāt, he should sneak into the bathroom for a cold shower, think about war and blood and bullets to get his boner down. but he isnāt, heās spitting into his palm and groaning, bringing his free hand up to cover his mouth - heās never been good about keeping quiet. itās not his fault you were out there wearing his clothes, you were the one that decided to look soā so cozy and content in your makeshift shorts. domestic
when that word settles at the forefront of his brain Simonās hips jerk, you looked domestic, wanting to watch some show with him. his leg jolts slightly, hand moving to shallowly pump his weeping head. maybe your friends are right, Simon does take care of you - could bend you over and make you sob his name - heās basically your boyfriend, often mistaken for your husband. his thighs tense when he imagines a ring on your fingerā no, his dog tags hanging from your neckā god, holding you at night as an actual coupleā
heās choking out a moan, muffled and hoarse, as he coats his hand. eyes fluttering shut and breathing heavily, all his thoughts fly out the window as his cum drips down his fingers - all his thoughts except for one. heās going to have to go back out there later to eat dinner with you, and oh, fuck, he sucks in a deep breath as he chubs up again
Roommate!Simon Riley who is literally your personal weather man.
Like, why need the app when you have him to do it all for you??
āSimon!!ā
Itās usually in the mornings, when heās busy packing your lunch for work. āYeah, love!ā He awaits your response, a little smile tugging at the corners of his lips when he hears something clatter, quickly followed by a loud curse.
āWhat-ow-whatās the temperature today?!ā Another clatter, another curse, and heās sticking your sandwhich in a plastic bag, placing it intricately inside your lunchbox. He does this every morning that heās able. Thereās a very specific way he goes about putting it all in there, and a very specific snack for each meal category. Some might call him a chump, but he calls it being a good friend. Cause heās NOT your boyfriend
āWarm and sunny sweetāart! But bring a jacket, yea?!ā
āOkay!ā The next slam is loud, and if it wasnāt for your typical clumsiness, heād have assumed youād died just a little bit.
His large shoulders shake with a rumble of laughter as he zips your lunchbox, now moving to fill up your water bottle. āAlright in there?!ā
āYeah! Just-ow-canāt get my shoe on!ā
Heād do the same thing tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, and when he was deployed, heād wake up every morning to a message- drum roll please -asking about the weather. When he couldnāt get to you in time, heād always come back to find about a thousand texts from you.
okay since youāre not answering me iām gonna go with sunny
no rainy
wait, it looks shiny outside, sunny
the next message would be a picture of you standing on the sidewalk in the rain, a thin pair of shoes on and no jacket.
nevermind, it was rainy
and cold
and wet
Heād laugh so loud the whole crew would think heād gone mad.
told you to bring a jacket, love
Bubbles would pop up and then disappear, up and then disappear. Instead of the sassy attitude he expected in return, he found you simply just needing him.
when are you coming home :(
i need my weather man back
He could just tell you to download the app, but there was something about you wanting him to tell you that made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Heās whipped.
Please Iām literally at work and this thought would NOT go away
Roommate!Simon Riley who sits in the bathroom while youāre in the shower.
The first time it happened heād been so lost in his head he hadnāt even noticed the water was running. It was after work, late at night. When he walked in and heard your shriek, he was quick to cover his eyes, despite the shower curtain, fumbling for the door while a constant stream of apologies fell from his lips.
āSimon! Is that you?ā Your voice was shaky, and he realized, just by the simple sound of your tone, that you werenāt screaming because heād walked in, you simply just hadnāt known he was home.
āYeah love, ām sorry, I didnāt know you were in here.ā His fingers nervously fiddled with the door handle, squeaking hinges reminding him to take his weight off of the old wood.
āNo itās okay, you just scared me is all.ā You peeked your head out of the shower, dripping loose droplets of water all over the rug. āYou can stay in here ya know. I wouldnāt mind the company.ā Didnāt have to tell him twice. He was sat.
He listened to you ramble as he cleaned his bloody knuckles, inhaling the familiar scent of your shampoo with every breath. He found comfort in it, even found himself longing for the lingering smell of your hair when he was away. Thatād never happened to him before, not since you came along.
He liked how the smells werenāt harsh, they were just you.
āHey Riley! Hand me my towel please?ā He turned his gaze from the crimson sink to face you, quirking a smile when he saw the way you clenched your eyes shut, soap suds dripping down your forehead. āGot soap in my eyes.ā
An amused huff came from his nose. āI can tell.ā Instead of handing it to you, he grabbed your jaw with one hand, bandaged fingers careful as they wiped from the corner of your eyes to the outer part and back again. It wasnāt necessary of course, but you didnāt need to get a perfectly clean towel soaking wet before you needed it. That would be silly.
āThanks,ā You couldnāt help how breathless you sounded, eyelashes fluttering open to see his stern ones focused on making sure the rest of your face was dry.
āWelcome,ā It was gruff and short, but he meant it, truly.
After that, it didnāt necessarily become routine, but if you got home from work, and he was there, it was bound to happen. You just had so many things to tell him. Stories of rude coworkers- about how they tried to steal the cookies heād bought you, but how you were determined to eat every single one of them.
Heād follow you around like a lost puppy, finding solace on the toilet seat when you finally managed to get your ass in the shower. He made fun of you once for how distracted you got, and after seeing the fake pout on your lips he couldnāt stop. Picking on you was his favorite past time after all.
He loves how you sing softly, and he queues away the songs your the loudest to in his head, storing them away to discreetly surprise you with later. The sound of your voice just soothes him, even if itās not always on key.
Sometimes heāll even tell you about his day too. Itās not often, but when it happens, you remind yourself to stay dead silent. He was like a baby deer, one wrong move and youād lose him.
When he inevitably goes quiet mid conversation, you always urge him to continue. āCāmon Riley, Iām listenināā He melts right then and there every time.
The towel is always in his hands once he hears the shower turn off, ready for you to grab whenever youāre ready. You always insist on doing the rest of your routine behind the safety of the curtain.
āI donāt mind leaving love,ā
Another peek of your head and another puddle of water.āSimon Riley, finish telling me your story or Iāll murder you.ā It was a pretty convincing argument. Heād obviously listen so he didnāt die. Not because the cute little angry crease between your brows drove him crazy or the way your eyes were stormy with determination made him feel a little horny.
It was always the small things with you.
āAlright you sassy lass, Iāll talk.ā And so heād finish his story, handing you whatever products you asked for every now and then before you reached your hand out for fresh clothes.
As he turned around to get them heād hear a loud slam, the sound of bottles clattering and your quiet hiss making him alert. Before he could even say anything though, youād counteract his concern.
āIām fine. Just slipped on my fucking conditioner.ā And oh if he didnāt belly laugh.
Now, sometimes, youād follow him to the bathroom, and heād let you. Those these were the moments where he wouldnāt get a second to speak. Because youād talk, and talk, and talk some more, and heād eat it all up like it was his last meal.
Heād go to bed thinking about the sound of your voice, bottle it up and take it with him when he had to be away for to long. Because a minute without the sweet sound of your presence was a minute to damn long.
i asked someone to do this for me once and they looked at me like i was crazy and said no :( (is this only cute in my head???????)
