I'm imagining that post Grace getting launched, After a few weeks Simon tries to get back into streaming. and around the time Grace would usually bring snacks, Simon keeps looking towards the door waiting for him to come in but he never does.
Simon rightfully distraught says he can't do this anymore and doesn't even look at his computer for months.
Ow it hurts so good. Yes! 😭
Even chat around that time is also expecting Grace to walk in and tell them their science fact of the day but nothing.
Simon sits down after being radio silent for months and records a YouTube video sighing sadly and saying.
“Hey guys. You’re uh. Probably wondering why I haven’t streamed in a long time….or made any content. God I’ve tried to film this video so many times now…… as you all know, I haven’t been myself ever since the incident and you’re probably wondering what? Why?” Simon rubs his face and he has tears in his eyes.
“My husband is Dr Ryland Grace.” On the screen is a photo of them together. One of the last photos they took together. “As you may know, Grace was a scientist…..he worked on helping solve why the sun was dying slowly….. Grace didn’t want to go to space. He didn’t want to be sent on what is a suicide mission…… I won’t ever get to see the love of my life ever again.” Simon tears up and he swallows them down before sighing. “I’m so used to seeing him everywhere. I wake up and expect to see him laying beside me or in the kitchen cooking or fuck! Even bringing me snacks whilst I stream but…..he won’t ever get to do that again…..I won’t ever get to hear him speak. I won’t ever get to feel his touch. I won’t ever get to hold him as we take our last breaths together.”
The video cuts and Simon is sitting there with tears stained cheeks again and saying “I’m sorry. I don’t think I can ever stream again…..it’s too painful for me and I know some people will say that’s selfish of me to say but I don’t care. I don’t know if I’ll ever come back on here but I hope we’ve made some lasting memories together in the time that we’ve spent together. So, if you don’t mind, I want to show you the Ryland grace I know and love. Not as the hero Earth but as my husband. Thank you for watching.”
The screen goes black and it plays an audio of what they can hear of Grace saying “are you recording me again?”
“What? No. I’m just taking pictures.” The camera is blinded by light and they see a younger Grace turning around to look back at the camera that Simon is holding and Simon says “I want to remember the beautiful man that will someday become my husband.”
Grace blushes and asks softly “do you mean that, Si?”
“I do. With every fibre of my being.”
It cuts to their first dance at their wedding, it’s a beautiful sight.
The video then transitions into some phone video of Simon in front of the camera pulling funny faces and they can hear Grace laugh as he zooms in. “Pull a nice one! I want it to be my lockscreen!”
“Ok ok!” Simon smiles nicely and they hear a soft “look how handsome.” And Simon in the video, comes over to him and mumbles “no you’re the handsome one, my love.”
The next video is of a sleeping Grace on the couch with a book open on his chest, glasses skewed and Simon turning the camera to show his face and him whispering “I’m going to get to grow old with him.”
