į°į© Older bf!Simon indulging his kid at heart
Simon never really minded the fact that his childhood was stripped from him, it happened, itās over, what can he do about it? Nothing. Best move on to more important things. He thinks about it, but it no longer effects him. Heās human, so at some point heās going to watch a kid play to their hearts content like it was a foreign thing to him
Simon who raises a brow at every little thing you do when he finally starts to love you. Watching you stare at the toy section a little too long before picking out a coloring book and even longer at the crayon section. The basket in the crook of his elbow as he crossed his arms.
āWhatās the difference, luvie? They all color the sameā he huffed quietly, earning a soft glare in return. āOh hush, theyāre not the same. See? These ones are pastels, these ones have glitter, this one has forty colors-ā you go on as he rolls his eyes and stares off down the aisle. His attention immediately being brought back as you all of a sudden stop. Then he seen what you were eyeing. The colored pencils. He looked at them and then at you before sighing and walking over. Grabbing them and show them to you. āWhatās the deal with this one?ā He asks, trying to find the difference yet again between the crayons and then pencils. You step forward and then smile almost sadly. āIāve never really had colored pencils, always seen them but my parents told me theyād go in the trash one way or anotherā you replied. He didnāt even think twice before putting them in the basket
Simon who watches you later on that night color in the first page that stands out to you. Seeing you color outside the lines but never really seeming to mind. āInside the lines, darlinā he mumbled as he laid in bed. One arm propping him up as you laughed softly, āoh hush, leave me alone. I like itā you smiled, āyou like it messy?ā He asked, āwell⦠when you put it that way it sounds sloppy. But everyone always got mad that I colored outside the lines. Found being too perfect was always boring and never really fun. But I like thisā you leaned back, looking at the paper as he nodded. Picking up a pencil and then gave a small scribble to the paper.
Simon who finds comfort in walking beside you down a sidewalk. At first he was confused, one second you both were walking and the next he was yanked back, āwhatās wrong?ā He looked around for any sign of trouble, then looked down at you, realizing you were counting your steps in the large rectangles in the concrete. āI stepped four steps in the last block, if I take another step, this one will be fiveā you muttered. Deciding not to question it, he picked you up, setting you in the next block and started walking along side you again. Now every time you walk together, he counts how many steps you take in each one, stopping and waiting for you if you need to jump a little or if you mess up your numbers, āyouāre at three, luvā
Simon who pretty much never questions anything you do anymore, you want something? Heāll get it for you. Even if itās a little bottle of bubbles, heāll grab an extra bottle just so that if you ever run out, youāll have another. He wonāt admit it, but likes seeing which bubble will last the longest before popping
Simon who goes shopping with you and helps you pick out a stuffed animal, which turns into stuffed animals. āOh- look at this one Si, this oneās a sealā you picked up a chunky looking stuffed animal. Giving a squish before holding it out to Simon, who gives a squish and then takes it into his large calloused hands. Scrunching it a few times and lays his head on it, then nods. Looking at the others, ālook at this one, babe, itās a shrimpā he chuckles, picking it up and showing you. A smile blossoming on your face as you grab it. You both going home with stuffed animals of your own, who later get turned into cuddle buddies. Sedrick the Shrimp and Samuel the Seal
Simon who will bring you your favorite lunch with a nice drink on the side to your work. Walking in pass the reception desk and into your office, seeing that youāre on a call, he holds your food so he can personally give it to you as he walks around the place. Mindlessly playing with a few little trinkets you got lying around. He puts the bag of food between his chest and arm, the drink in his hand while his other squeezes the chicken stress ball. Giving a small chuckle as its eyes pop out with every squeeze. Then he finds another little toy. A crane of sort that has a string attached to the tip thatās holding a ring at the end. A small hook on the beam as he tries to get the ring onto the hook. Giving a quiet āyesā as he finally gets it. Then hands your food over with a kiss when youāre done
Simon who stays up with you one night, not having to worry about waking up early for work. So he has you get up, telling you heās hungry and that he wants to get something to eat. Then when you tell him you have to get ready. He protests, pulling your hand and tells you that heās not going out to impress anyone and that heād rather you be comfortable than walking around fully dressed with your clothes you wanted to wear tomorrow, just to get fast food. Tells you that he feels better when you feel good. Both of you donāt have to worry about the burdens of adult life that early morning
Simon who goes to the Lego section with you- well, more like he drags you to the Lego aisle. Telling you that he likes this one he seen a few days ago. Pretends to look for it when he made it up as an excuse so you two could actually look for something to build together. āLook at this one love, itās a picture frameā he holds up a box, showing you. āI like that one, but I also like this camera oneā you also hold up the box, he looks between the two. Eyes darting to the side before something catches his eye. āBaby, look. These are bracelets, you put little legos on themā. He immediately grabs the box, dropping them all into the cart, not even minding the price itāll come out to. āWe should look at the friendship braceletsā he buys you the bracelets anyways, going home and building the legos together, putting a Polaroid of you two beneath the camera one. Putting a picture in the picture frame one, and you both wearing the lego bracelets
Simon who picks out baby clothes, not boring bland pink or blue ones. No, those are too cliche, no, he wants something that will make those beautiful eyes he knows your little baby have, pop out. Even if he has to special order a few clothes and blankets, heāll do it. Little onesies that have pictures of Sedrick and Samuel that were obviously custom made by the best and most liked shop.
Simon who signs your little one up for whatever their heart desires. They want to try soccer? Heās going to buy them a small goal and a ball so they can practice in the backyard of your home. They see an event coming into town and they want to go? Heās more than willing to take them. They want money for a book fair? He knows the teachers are assholes so he waits until they get home so he can go back with them. Helping them pick out whatever their little heart wants. Erasers, book marks, little toys, itās all theirs. They want extra cuddles for the heck of it? Heās bringing you down with the two of them.
Simon who ends up healing his childhood through you and his kid. Even if he was a little embarrassed about it all in the beginning, he realized that heād rather make memories than skip them being shy and hurting you and your kidsā feelings.
(He totally has his own stash of toys and his own coloring books heās accumulated over the years heās known you. He even has his own blankets with heroās and stuffed animals of his own) į°į©
