something something being the breadwinner in your relationship with older bf!simon because you love him and he deserves it.
his post-military allowance it pitiful (and you’ve already complained enough times to your local body that they have a picture of you behind reception) so you both agreed that your income can cover the two of you.
plus, he makes a really good house-husband.
he watches a lot of gordon ramsay on daytime tv so there’s always a beautiful meal waiting for you when you get home.
he’s mastered the fabric softener to detergent ratio and your clothes are always warm and pressed from the iron.
he keeps the carpet vacuumed and the high shelves dusted and the windows always sparkle in the sun.
you’ve even told him you expect nothing, that he’s spent a long and hard life fighting so he could spend all day sleeping and you’d just be happy he was safe.
but he says it’s how he enjoys spending his time.
replanting the garden or building you a little table so you can both enjoy coffee outside in the summer or fixing just about anything in the house giving you grief.
says he likes being useful, likes being needed by you.
“want t’show y’how much i ‘ppreciate you”
“simon, you know i don’t need-”
“let me take care’a you, sweet’art”
every night you come home to a warm meal and a warm lap to curl up in.
simon says he likes being needed- likes being used too.
Marauders fandom!! You have been summoned. Look! It’s a James! Feast thine eyes! (I’m sorry, do what you want. I’m not the boss of you. Have a nice day.)
