Love Again (Simon Blackquill x Reader)

A/N: Takes place while Simon's still in prison right when he gets out.

Your Pov:

I laid in bed, staring up at the blank ceiling. My eyes were red and puffy from countless hours of crying. It was silent, no sound breaking my depression-ridden mask.

Another memory surfaced in my mind, though I tried to repress it.

When I met you your words were new and so, exciting. You sold me things, you gave me wings, you were, inviting...

The moment I met Simon, I knew we had a connection. We found each other through Dr. Cykes. Simon was someone I could never read. He made my heart fly out of my chest everytime he brought something back from his travels for me. He was magnetic, electric, a mix of a lot of things I could never understand.

Maybe that's why he left me behind.

Now you’re gone from my life. I’m adrift on the sea. Just singin’ oh...

I remember the day Dr. Cykes was murdered. The police ushered everyone outside, and then said the terrible truth that would haunt me forever.

Simon killed her.

I broke down into tears as they brought Simon out of the building in handcuffs. Blood stained his front but he stared forward with no emotion on his face. He wouldn't even look at me.

He would refuse my calls and visits, cutting off all ties with me.

That hurt me in a way that words could not explain.

I wanted to hate him, despise him, but I just couldn't do it.

Now it seems that life’s a dream I’d rather wake from. I stumble here to there no truth that I can take from.

I couldn't do it because 7 years of love and care slept in the room next to me.

Simon never knew and at this rate, he never would.

I never believed that Simon killed Dr. Cykes. He lied to save Athena. And I didn't blame him. I would've done the same.

But I missed him so much.

But elusive you remain. There is nothing left to gain. It’s the same old sad refrain...

I turned my head to the picture on the nightstand. Simon and I stood in front of the center. I smiled while Simon had a half smirk, half grin.

We were so happy back then...

So carefree...

When I met you my life was blue, I was so lonely. You took my by surprise, your eyes were all mine only...

My life was always a mess. I felt like I was so alone despite being surrounded by groups of people. When people asked about me, I lied, giving them this perfect persona that had no problems or issues.

And they believed it.

The first one to see through it, was Simon. He looked at me with his steely eyes and I felt something I hadn't felt in years.

I felt wanted, safe, worth it...

Just then, my phone rang. The contact read 'Athena'. I answered it, "Hello?" Athena spoke, "(Y/n), I need you to come down to the courthouse. And bring (Kid's name). Hurry." I sighed, "Ok. Athena." I hung up and got dressed before heading into the next room. I got (Kid's name) dressed.

The two of us went down to the courthouse. Once inside, I saw Athena standing with her boss, Apollo, and...

Simon?

His shackles were gone.

I approached, "What's happening Athena?" She smiled, "Simon's been found innocent! He's free!" I smiled as tears welled up in my eyes.

I turned to Simon, seeing him already staring at me. I held (Kid's name's) hand and brought him over to Simon.

Simon spoke softly, "Is he...?"

I nodded, "Yes."

(Child's name) looked at me.

"Is that papa?"

I smiled, "Yes."

Simon kneeled, gently hugging (Child's name). He looked at me and held out his hand. I grabbed it. He pulled me down into the hug.

The tears finally fell down my face.

But this time, they were happy tears.

When I met you your words were new...
