Thinking about asshole!simon who uses peoplepleaser!reader.
Reader who couldn’t care less because at-least this means they get to make someone happy. Even if it’s just for a quick fuck, or a couple kisses, or a hot meal. They’re needed, finally fucking needed and that’s more than they ever thought they’d get.
Simon who sees how this is destroying reader. How their eye bags are getting darker and deeper, how their cheeks are more gaunt, how every time he comes back from deployment there’s somehow just less of them. No longer the bubbly joyful person he once knew. And no matter how much Simon pushes you away you only grow closer. Yearning for his attention as a flower does the sun.
