The cold was always Wille's favourite. The fresh, crisp air filling his lungs, kids wrapped in jackets three sizes too big, noses turning red from the frost the air held. He loved moments with Erik from his childhood, running in the ground of the palace trying to not slip on the ice. But as he looked out at the lake driving away from the boy that changed his life forever, he wondered to himself whether the water was cold today. Or was it the thought of never being able to hold Simon again that made the water look that much more piercing. Memories of the freezing mornings with Simon while rowing, walking along the lakeside unable to hold hands because of leering eyes watching my every move just seemed so much colder now they may be the only things left of Simon. Saying that he loved Simon was the last hope he had of letting Simon know just how much he meant to him, how without him he would feel empty. But, sat here alone on the back seat of the car, Wille knew if he ever wanted to feel warm again, he had to choose to let Simon go, or start a revolution.

He usually listened to music while on car rides, but music seemed a faint idea. His head was buzzing with anger, hurt, confusion, longing. All he wanted was to stay with Simon, be with him. But he knew to do that, he would have to change.

­­­Watching those two cars drive off from the church gave Simon space to breathe. Sara always knew when Simon was in need, and walking him away from the road was a blessing. One half of him wanted to chase after those cars, like Wille was an addiction he just couldn't shift. The other, a much freer half, knew in his heart saying was the right thing to do. Before Hellerska, before Wille, Simon had known so much about the world. Or at least he thought he did. He knew who he wanted to be, how he was going to get out of that town. Then Wille came along and changed everything. Things, he thought, would be simpler if he had never met Wille. If he just thought people like that could never interact with someone like him. Simon thought he knew how the world worked, and where he stood. Wille changed it all with a single glance.

Lost in his own thoughts, it was supposing to feel a tap on the shoulder. Turning, he was faced with August.

"S- Simon... I just wanted to say... sorry. Look, I know-"

"Sorry for what?" Simon replied, confused.

August looked at Sara, who in turn looked startled. She hadn't told Simon, and promiced to herself she never would. Sara faintly shook her head at August, with Simon still looking at August intently.

"Uhh... About... Everything that's happened. Yeah, sorry."

"... Okay? Thanks.... Bye August" And with that Simon dragged Sara away, displeased.

"Yeah, bye", replied August, walking away without another word. Simon turned to Sara.

"Was that strange to you?" Wondered Simon.

"I don't think so, I think he was just trying to be nice."

"I don't think he could be nice if he tried."

Sara didn't know what he meant by this, but was glad it was over. The guilt of trying to hide this huge secret from her brother, something she usually doesn't normally do, was weighing on her chest like a tumour, growing in size with every lie muttered.

As they wandered back into the church, Simon reflected on his time with Wille. "We did nothing wrong, were in this together". Except that isn't true. Isn't true for Simon, at least. How could he have been so stupid to not see this coming. Wille has always had the power, had the say-so on anything that happens. Where they would meet, who was allowed to see them together. Simon was tired of all that shit. All he wanted was Wille, and that's it. But that's not very likely.

Hey everyone! I thought i'd do a little intro to me! I am 21 year old English lesbian obsessed with young royals for some reason. I love funky tunes, obscure facts, and dank memes (yes I know no one says dank anymore, but I say bring it back!). Hope you enjoy this fic, I didn't want the season to end so instead of reading other peoples, I wanted to write my own continutation. Enjoy!
