Love thinking of Simon Riley who gets attached to you after literally one honest smile
No one ever really looks up at him. Not to smile or to chat or anything else. People listen to his orders, do their jobs, and go about their day trying to stay as far from him as they can
Ridiculously tall, near inhumanly broad, and usually in a black mask covering his entire head? He’s not the most friendly looking. Not to mention he murders people for a living
He’s a man the demands respect, not one that seems open to casual, relaxed interactions
So when you, someone new on base he’s never really spoken to, look him right in the eye and smile while passing him? He’s obsessed
He’s following you around, figuring out your schedule so he can see you smile at him again
He’s actually nodding in return while looking at you instead of just giving an occasional low grunt of acknowledgment like he does for most people
He’s got no idea how to talk to you, but he’d be damned if he didn’t see your smile at least three times a day
