love triangle with simon & bobby
pairing: simon blackquill x gn!reader x bobby fulbright
tags: spoilers for bobby's identity, reluctant to fall in love (both), lighthearted fluff turning serious, romantic rivalry
the first time you met simon and bobby, they were together, with bobby being tasked to keep an eye on simon before one of his trials
you always knew them as a duo, though a reluctant one at that. but whenever you saw one of them, the other one was never far away!
both men were reluctant to fall in love with you, but for different reasons. simon didn't want to date while still behind bars and he had little hope of getting out of prison. meanwhile, bobby's reasons were a little more complicated…
bobby shouldn't have been able to feel any sort of emotions. not fear, not anger, not sadness and especially not love! he isn't even sure if he truly loves you, but it's the only way to describe the way he feels for you
bobby always puts on an act around everyone, so while he does ponder what his feelings for you are, he acts like an oblivious idiot in love around you, stuttering and blushing, though it's all just a role he's playing
simon is often around to watch bobby miserably fail to flirt with you and make a fool out of himself, so he doesn't really view him as a threat. but in reality, there's no bigger threat than bobby…
while bobby and simon tend to be around each other whenever you're with them, they don't fight for your attention. instead, you can always talk to just one of them, with the other one quietly listening in on the conversation…
neither of them plan to confess to you any time soon, but the one thing that could change everything is bobby's true identity! if simon knew who he was truly dealing with, he'd do anything to protect you and get you away from that man!
but if bobby's cover was blown and he'd have nothing to lose, he might just make you his, knowing that simon can't stop him while he's behind bars…
