Quiet, introspective, observant Kind in a quiet, subtle way Witty — he jokes softly rather than loudly Loyal to the point of self-sacrifice Avoidant about emotions he doesn’t know how to handle
It’s late and warm tonight. In a barely functional van. Simon is in the drivers seat, drumming his fingers on the wheel as he drove on the open dessert road. You sat in the passenger seat. Youe hand was sublty covering your stomach. Holding the fact that you were carrying a baby. Sure, it’s supposed to be a good thing. But you and Simon were still in highschool. So close to graduating. Until you saw the biggest, bluest plus sign you ever saw.
After parking the van, you sat inside with your knees pulled to your chest, staring out at the silent, rundown gas station. The faint hum of an old electric sign buzzed in the background. Outside, Simon wiped his hands with a rag after checking the engine, which had been acting up again — a reminder that this van wasn't meant for life on the road. He tossed the rag onto the driver’s seat and leaned against the door, eyes drifting out toward the empty road like he was lookin’ for an answer.
