Waking up the next morning to silence in the apartment is weird, and Harry doesn't like it.
He fumbles with his glasses, which he left on the nightstand the night prior, too hung up on Simon's departure to put them by his meds in the kitchen like he usually does.
It's even weirder when he walks into the living room and the couch is empty, Simon's favorite blanket slung over the back of the couch neatly. The television is off, and the place feels way too empty, too quiet.
Instead of ignoring his phone on the counter like he usually does, he picks it up and checks the notifications. He sees a few messages from Simon and opens them immediately.
simon: morning haz :)
simon: not sure when you'll be awake
simon: but please make sure to take your meds and eat breakfast, alright?
simon: maybe hang out with tobi and see what they're doing? or josh and ethan
simon: lux would probably want to hang out too
simon: your class is at 1 today, right?
simon: i'll be back before you know it,
simon: promise ♡
The messages put an instant smile on Harry's face. Simon knows that Harry does best when he's around other people; being alone with his own thoughts scares him more often than not and he's grown up being somewhat dependent.
haz: morning si ♡
haz: i'll probably eat breakfast with one of them
haz: and yeah i have class at 1
haz: also i never got a chance to ask
haz: why did you have to leave so suddenly? is there an emergency? is everyone okay?
Simon's answer is almost immediate.
simon: don't worry, haz
simon: everyone is fine
simon: it's just that my grandma randomly came to my house for a surprise week long visit :/
simon: you know how she is
simon: and how my parents are
haz: oh, right
haz: are your brothers there?
simon: cal isn't here, he's travelling right now
simon: chris is though, which is good cuz i'd be bored out of my mind without him lol
haz: that's good
haz: tell him i said hi
simon: i will
simon: i actually gotta go now
simon: my mom is making us do a 'family bonding breakfast'
haz: ahhh alright
haz: have... fun?
simon: lol
simon: text me whenever you need me, okay?
simon: love you ♡
haz: love you too
