BUT ALSO
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
simon’s lover calls him bub.
“love you, bub.”
“s’okay, bub. don’t worry about it.”
“how was your day, bub?”
and he grumbles. says pet names are corny but at least it’s not baby or babe.
but the second you call him simon, he’s on alert. back straightening, ears going hot, hands clamming, and going into a panic.
his brows furrowed as he approached you, looking almost nervous.
“can you get me a water, please?”
and he does it, goes through the motions but he’s so in his head. why the fuck did you call him by his name?
downright pouting and petulant when he plunks down next to you. his confusion so palpable you feel it. even turn to him and ask what’s wrong but all he does is shrug. “s’nothin’.”
your eyes narrow but you nod nonetheless. turning back to what you were doing. but before you know it, he’s huffing.
“s’alright for you to keep callin’ me bub. or whatever shite you want.”
and you have to stifle your laugh because of course, of course!
“thanks for the water, bub.”
