It was 6 AM and Simon had woken up to the sound of soft knocking on his door. Dragging himself out of bed, he opens the door and gasps once he sees Tori standing in front of him. He tries to fix his messy hair, which made Tori giggle uncontrollably
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh." Tori covered her mouth to hide her smile
"What are you doing here?" Simon asks, leaning against the doorframe
"Well, my ADHD kicked in early this morning, so I figured I'd come bother you!" Tori beamed
"I'm happy to hear that." Simon joked
"Can I come in?" Tori asks
"Yeah, sure. Make yourself at home." Simon moved aside to let her in, closing the door afterwards
Tori sat on the bed, anxiously tugging on the sleeves of Simon's letterman jacket. Leaning against the door, Simon stared at her, admiring how cute she looked wearing his jacket. He turned his head away, trying to hide the faint blush circulating through his cheeks
"Don't be shy, you can look at me." Tori broke him out of his trance like state
"I'm not shy." Simon murmured
"Really? I think shy guys are the cutest." Tori teased
"You're just saying that." Simon chuckled
"No, I'm not." Tori shook her head
"Yes, you are." Simon hung his head
Tori got up from the bed and approached him, placing her finger underneath his chin and tilting his head up to make direct eye contact with him. Pulling her small hands out of the oversized letterman jacket, she places her hand on Simon's cheek, slowly trailing her fingers down his face until they stopped directly upon his lips
"Simon, you're probably the only guy at this school who respects me. I don't want a guy who just wants me for my body. I want a guy who's willing to listen to me any time, day or night. I want a guy who will be there for me in times of need. Do you understand what I'm trying to say?" Tori rambled
"Yeah, one hundred percent." Simon nodded
"I mean, you didn't have to put up with my craziness the other day, but you did. If you weren't there to calm me down, I probably would've had a panic attack." Tori smiled
"I'm glad I could be of assistance." Simon says
"I might've had a little bit of coffee this morning, so I'm a bit wired up. Would you mind if I crashed here for a little while?" Tori asks
"Sure, no problem. You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." Simon offered
Tori stripped off Simon's jacket and placed it on the chair before lying down in the bed. Chuckling in amusement, Simon grabbed his jacket and threw it over her body, providing her with enough warmth to keep her safe and comfortable
"Thanks for listening, Simon." Tori blushed
"Anytime, Simmons. Get some sleep, I'll wake you up later." Simon whispers
"I'm on a sugar rush right now, there's no way I'm going to sleep." Tori rambled
"Trust me, that won't last long." Simon laughed
"What do you know? You survive off granola bars and Gatorade." Tori argued
"Bold of you to assume that." Simon cackled
"Yeah, the sugar's definitely wearing off because I'm getting cranky." Tori whined
"Go to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." Simon advised
