Have Simon's back (Si romance pace)

Oliver laughed nervously, realizing he was on a dangerous path that might genuinely upset Simon if he found out. Recalling Simon’s warnings about Percy being a top tier manipulator, Oliver decided to play it much cooler. As Percy caught on to Oliver’s sudden frigid shift, he tossed some money on the counter and with an annoyed expression on his face. Oliver sighed in relief and closed down the bar to go home.

Despite hooking up with Simon twice and Tori once today, Oliver felt a stirring in his groin. He double checked the Madhouse was set and sat on the curb outside smoking a joint. He could just walk home, he thought staring at his phone… Oliver’s thumbs seemed to move of their own accord, picking Simon’s contact and pressing the call icon.

The phone rang once, twice, and on the third Simon picked up “Everything ok Ollie?” Oliver paused, and responded “Yeah all good, just finished shutting the old girl down…” He went on the explain that Percy had made a concerted effort to tempt him, but he’d turned him down.

Simon was silent for a long moment “Typical Percy, thinks the whole fucking world revolves around him. But he has the body to back it up if you want a hook up… why’d you say no Ollie?” It was Oliver’s turn to pause, his breath catching “I- I dunno Si. I wanted to but then I had the thought he wanted me to get back at you and I wasn’t ok with that. I was thinking about tomorrow and maybe how uh maybe we- I could-” Oliver trailed off, his nerves getting the better of him.
