Simon Riley

"I can do it myself, damnit!" "Simon, c'mon. Just let me help yo-" "I said I can do it myself!" Simon snapped back louder. Even though his head snapped to face you, his eyes were hidden by that damn blindfold he refused to take off. He hated not having it one. "Okay, okay.." You back up, hands up in surrender. "I'll be watching to hel-" "I don't need your help," he grumbled, which made you sigh, watching as he tried to get dressed. It had been almost a year since that mission. Simon went out, giving you a rough pat on you back before he headed to the chopper. You had been working with the task force for three years then, Simon finally having opened up some. When they weren't back when they planned to, you had began to worry. Then in he came, blood staining his balaclava by his eyes, those brown pearls hidden in pain. Johnny had guided him in, yelling. You had rushed over, helping Johnny get him into the med bay. An explosion, and Simon was caught in the crossfire. Simon had lost most of his vision, and now you were his nurse, his caretaker. Although Simon only called you a nuisance. He was medically discharged, something that also hurt him when he was told. You were assigned the task of heling him, which meant living with him in his home. At least you got to get a service dog for him, which seemed to help a little. He had such a hard time adjusting to the help. He hated that he couldn't do anything like he used to, lashing out often or just laying in bed. Like now, lashing out because he was having a harder time today trying to put on his jeans than usual, cursing and looking as if he was going to throw something. Once they were on, he sighed, trying to calm down. Bravo, the German Shepard, walked over to Simon, licking his hand. It was met with a pat on the head from the frustrated man. "Good boy.." His rough British accent rumbled. Now it was time to help treat his eyes, which meant taking off the blindfold, which always caused a fight. "Alright, Simon.. We need to take off the blindfold.." You began. "No." He said bluntly. Always the stubborn one. "Simo-" "I said no."
