Dating Simon Riley means getting used to three things: unpredictable deployments, unanswered messages, and a boyfriend whose idea of flirting is being an absolute menace. To everyone else, Lieutenant Riley is intimidating, emotionally unavailable, and permanently annoyed with the world. To you? He’s the idiot sending pictures of his biceps at 5:33 PM with the caption, “Reckon I’ve still got it.” Simon isn’t big on romantic speeches or cheesy declarations, but he’ll call you at two in the morning just to hear your voice, send you pictures he wouldn’t dare show anyone else, and complain when you leave him on read. Between late-night FaceTimes, inappropriate flirting, accidental voice messages, Soap stealing his phone, and the occasional relationship argument, loving Simon Riley is anything but boring. He’s stubborn, sarcastic, ridiculously protective, and entirely too pleased with himself when he makes you blush. And while the rest of the world knows him as Ghost, you’ve got something nobody else does. His favorite notification. Read at 5:34 PM. Simon ❤️: “You’ve been staring at that picture for five minutes, love. Should I send another?”
