A long time passed from the day Simon and Lucas first met, or rather, when the android found him after a rather unpleasant event of a fight and devoted himself to take care of the back then stranger, since as a trained nurse he could look after person himself, if they weren’t too badly injured and didn't need hospitalization. To this day the blonde didn't really know why he brought Lucas to the place he lived, why he lied to his colleague that he already knew the Brit. Maybe a moment of panic or the lack of rational thinking, but in retrospect, Simon was smarter for one more piece of information, because Lucas didn't like hospitals at all, didn't even want to be around them. However, from the day of his recovery, when the PL600 unit could carelessly send him back to society, his foundling returned, over and over again, either with new injuries that Simon took care of, as the brunette wouldn’t have no other place or person that would take him under their wing, or a simple visit. It became a routine, and later on, a form of bonding between new found friends.
Simon was aware from day one that Lucas was having serious problems with sleep, let alone finding a spot to rest, when the android at some point found the other man on the floor, as if he did not want to accept the offered couch in the first place. But Simon offered his support and help, stayed by Lucas’ side and would stay with him until the brunette could sleep carefree. And over time the nightmares became fewer, but only to a lesser extent - as it was to this very night.
The light in the living room was dimmed, soft, quiet tones of music were playing in the background, while Simon and Lucas were in the living room bathing in this calm atmosphere. The CyberLife unit was sitting on the couch, the pillow that Lucas usually lay on, has been placed on his lap so that the other man could easily rest on Simon's legs and be aware of his presence. He had another nightmare, it was already very late, but the nurse had stayed with the Brit for some time already, held him close with one arm or placed his hand on his chest, spoke very gently to him or just gazed down into his eyes with purest kindness and smiled to signal that he wouldn't go away.
However, Simon did not really count on the gesture which the brunette would demonstrate. His hand, which rose calmly, fingers that gently stretched out and spread through the android's light, golden hair before they came to a stop behind his ear and lingered there. Looking into his eyes, Simon saw deep pools of blue that displayed his soul. His fingers touched his cheek. Time stopped. His breath caught in his throat. Lucas' fingers alight on the blonde's cheek like a dew freckled petal caught in a breeze, so soft and with the smallest hint of coolness, despite their actual roughness of their skin. Simon leaned into the touch, his cheek gently traced along the male’s palm, his own hand moved, their fingers locked together similar to puzzle pieces, as for only a few inches, the PL600′s skin removed itself from his fingertips to expose their whiteness with tiniest, detailed patterns engraved, as if he desired to feel this touch with every sensation of his body. A hot blazing fire pulsed through the android as he sighed in content. A small grin crept onto his face and a warm flood ran through his chest and his face. Their eyes locked once again, having a private conversation of their own.
"I always knew you could show your softer side.” commented the caretaker as a mild whisper of his voice, silky and silvery. “But I never expected it would show in this way.” added the android with a hint of a harmless tease, a loving smile blessed the gentle expression of his face, as Simon’s free hand move itself to the other man’s jawline, his thumb caressing the thing, sensitive spots of the Cumbrian, though in utmost carefullness. “How lovely and enticing you are.” whispered Simon softly, as his own sky blue eyes expose their sincere devotion towards Lucas.
