Young Royals: the story continues

A game of two

Simon

His arrival in Sweden complicated everything for me. How did I think I would forget his name? To leave everything behind and maybe give myself a chance with Phill in the future.

His presence was nothing compared to his embrace; to feel his breath on my neck again and his hands around me was too much, I didn't want to respond to his act because I knew how hard it would be to let go and how confused my heart would be. Upset perhaps, because earlier that evening I had cleared my thoughts about Phill?

But he noticed my discomfort and I could see how from a smile he turned to a neutral face, apologizing for coming. I didn't want him to leave, and for him to think I disliked the idea of seeing him again, after all he just wanted to surprise me with no bad intentions. So I stopped him and pulled him close to my chest without hesitation.

That same afternoon we went to eat at my favorite Latin fast food place, my favorite part: its cozy decor. And we talked, making everything clearer, his words were only of gratitude, I had never seen him so free to express himself; having moved away from everything and everyone helped him a lot; you could feel the change because he transmitted a beautiful vibe, security and honesty. This was not the Wilhelm I met in the school canteen, letting himself be carried away by what others told him. This prince still possessed the essence but now he didn't hide it and I no longer needed any effort to find it. It was just there.

On the way to school we said goodbye and promised to meet early the next morning by the lake. The first thing I do in my room, I throw myself on the bed with a view of the ceiling.

I rub my face and sigh deeply. Phill doesn't arrive yet, I take advantage by changing my clothes; I was excited to go with Phill because the more time together, the better it would be to have everything clearer. I brush my teeth and fix my hair, with 15 minutes to ten o'clock I go in search of Phill, who fortunately I find him quickly, in the recreation room talking with August to what I play down; I clear my throat so he notices my presence, he immediately turns around and gives me a smile waving me with his hand to join him.
-Simon, look what I got for both of us," he says taking out two electric blue tickets, "with this we will have exclusive access, then he gets up from the couch and puts it on my wrist (actually a bracelet).

-Thank you Phill, ready?

-Ready -we say goodbye and move forward excitedly, Phill beats me running funny through the hills, I increase as much speed as possible, I'm close to overtake him and finally I win, smiling I extend my hand for him to reach the finish line.

The door is right in front of both of us now, allowing me to enter first. The music invades my senses, the accumulated energy of thousands of people that in the light all transform into spots; Phill with a transparent silver t-shirt and me in my blue cloth pants combine perfectly with the theme, the blue predominating in the darkness.

-Come, it's this way," he says leading me to the exclusive part, which to my surprise is outside the back, here everyone is doing their own thing not only dancing, I see people talking seriously in semi-formal clothes, on the other side of the wall several suspiciously carrying bags full of different substances, friends having fun with games gathered in a circle and in the background under a natural arch of curved branches a large table full of drinks, food, objects. Phill knows the place because he makes us advance to some bleachers that lead one floor below, the small space makes it cozy while the music reverberates the transparent ceiling, the light of a half moon illuminates the place turning the color palette silver and electric blue.

He mingles in the crowd and I do the same. Sour Candy remix plays in the background, the music takes over both of us, his movements mark the perfect beat making it impossible for me to stop watching him, his hair gets messy and under the pretext of fixing it I approach him placing my arms on his shoulders. His brown eyes sparkle at the variation of the infinity of lights. He places his hands unceremoniously on my hips producing an electric current in me, my hands go to his neck and finally under his clothes, touching his back with my fingertips. We stop even though the music continues now with G.U.Y by Gaga, the lyrics speak the song speaks for us, as if reading our minds; he pulls me even closer. I want his lips so badly, but he wins this game; he kisses me desperately, our tongues collide as his hands pull me to him, feeling the warmth of his stomach, Phill runs his tongue over every inch.

With a mischievous grin he stops, grabs my hand pulling us out of there, outside, the coolness of the air helps me clear my thoughts. We move a little further past the table with food, near the nearest tree, standing there we smile.

-Well, it's more than obvious what's going on," he says. I nod with the silliest smile, kiss him this time slowly, I'm between the tree and him, he kisses me again and puts his forehead to mine. We sit close to the roots and with our hands joined we remain silent smiling at the moon.

.

However, not everything can be perfect, and Simon knew it, his heart was in a game of two. And there can only be one winner.

At that instant the pawn of the game makes the biggest mistake, deciding to look beyond, his gaze meets another, situated on the food table; his body begins to burn, because the other gaze only observes him through the dense darkness, a glass fallen on the tablecloth was held by that person until that moment. Simon stands up at once, frightened, captured; Wilhelm's eyes full of pain is the only thing he manages to visualize in the moonlight. Wilhelm could not take his eyes off the scene, Phill stands up next to Simon. So without saying anything, the surrendered prince looks down, defeated and with a tiny heart, he decides to leave.

Simon was haunted by the illusion of an eternal day because on the same day he had seen again the most special person in his life, they had cried together, they had healed, they had taken a step forward, but that day he had also kissed Phillipe, declaring their mutual love, and now it continued without end, one heart broken and the other totally confused.

.

He doesn't hesitate to go after him, turning toward the inside of the place, Wilhelm blending into the crowd. Phill has stayed behind, I told him I'd be back soon so he'll wait for me. I pick up the pace and unintentionally push certain people, I can't let him leave, I literally won't let him leave the country again because of this. As I walk out the front door I visualize his hair and make out his black sweatshirt.
-Willy, don't go! -I yell in desperation, he stops without turning to look at me, his hands run through his hair, for this I have come running to him.
-Simon, stop, don't try to apologize.
I remain silent, looking into his red eyes, my heart shrinks.
-We're nothing, and now I know we never can... just let me go.
-I don't want you to go, I can't. I won't let you go. I won't let you go back to Vienna and lose you again.
-Don't worry about me Simon. Go with him, I'm not stopping you from living your life. You're free! - he says pointing with his firm hand the way back.
-I didn't mean to hurt you Wille, I'm so sorry. I don't even know how I feel about him.... -and for a second I almost added "for you".
-You're not to blame, I am, I've had hopes and I thought I could get you back. I just didn't accept until now that you had made your life over... without me -he says tiredly looking away from me, he continues -I won't leave here, but it's not because of you. I have things to do at the palace.
-Do you regret coming back? Because I don't," I say sincerely.
-Neither do I Simon, it's the best I could do, talking to you means a lot. I just didn't have to come expecting more than a simple friendship.
I approach him, I try to grab his hand, how wrong I am because he pulls it away without immediately.
-Don't do that Simon, if you touch me or come any closer I won't be able to see you as a friend only. Don't you understand? Look, let's leave it at that, I don't want to keep ruining this.
And he walks away leaving me alone. I close my eyes, and drop to the grass on my knees, everything is so confusing but what I do know is that I want him in my life too, like he asked me to do this afternoon.
