Okay raising the stakes for Grace and Simon’s sanity but also Simon finally getting a proper heat that lasts the full duration instead of just a day or two that he normally would experience bc of the scarcity of food, water, and lack of safety meaning that Simon isn’t prepared for how to take care of himself in a full blown heat.
So when Grace goes in to steal a shirt back after Simon passes out (yes I’m going based off your tags guess what I see you too :p) he sees that Simon hadnt touched any of the water bottles snacks or wipes at all.
So Grace having to come back while Simon is awake to make sure that Simon eats something and yes this absolutely leads to Simon trying to gag himself on Grace’s fingers that are hand feeding him bc he refuses to eat any other way
Grace having to tilt Simon’s head back to pour water in and the little shit is sticking his tongue out and swallowing while talking about what he would rather be swallowing instead Grace doesn’t even have to fuck him just let Simon get his mouth on him please he’ll make it feel so good
ALSO circling back around to Grace having stolen one of his shirts back from Simon you just know that when Simon wakes back up and finds Grace right outside of his nest again but this time smelling like Simon he loses his mind
Oh Grace would be so worried when seeing those bottles, snacks, and wipes untouched. I feel like he would assume Simon was too tired, since this is his first full heat since forever, but that would worry him even more.
Simon would notice the missing clothing too, since hello Grace gave him that, why would he not use it?? Then Grace comes in, smell like him, and it drives him NUTS.
It doesn't help that Grace is trying to help Simon eat and drink, even if its a bit. Simon is in the throes of wanting to pounce that man and get knotted.
Simon teasing Grace, to the best of his ability, to try and lure him in once again. Gagging on his fingers when Grace feeds him, sticking his tongue out when Grace has him drink the water. Oghh Simon getting right near the edge of the nest, where Grace is, and trying to tease him by saying he'd rather swallow something else. It turns into pleading once again, with his scent going over board to try and entice this Alpha right in front of him.
Grace is trying so hard to not fall into it, to wait until Simon is fully lucid. He even tries to tell Simon this, but Simon just pleads once again that he'll be so good, they don't have to go that far, just kissing and maybe making out, Simon just needs him. But, Grace knows that even kissing is dangerous and would escalate, so he has to leave.
