————————————————————-

in high school, prom is one of the most important things to nearly everyone. the promposals, the dresses, the parties, the king and queen ceremony, everything. it was the peak of many peoples teenage years.

moreover, it's extremely important to nearly all of the girls.

and simon, simon was the one nearly all of them wanted to take.

it's his senior year, so everyone wants to be the last to take him, be the one on his arm at his last ever prom.

i mean, who wouldn't? he's the star football player, the prettiest one on the pitch, the tall, lean, and charming boy.

he's also just, so nice. not one of those asshole "jocks", not a popular kid who uses that like it's a golden pass. he just tries to live a normal life, be a normal person, but his popularity in the big school, his athletic skills, and his witty humor made him all the more interesting.

but to simon, he didn't care about all of the popularity, all of the wooing over him, especially during this time of the year. even after all of these offerings, he didn't want to go with any of them.

he can't fully explain why, he hasn't thought too much about it.

harry is one of the many people at school who thought simon was a god amongst all the other simple people in the school.

ever since they were in middle school, harry caught himself staring way too long at simon whilst they were in PE class.

harry didn't know what it meant, it didn't scare him, how he felt is how he felt, and he felt like he wanted simon all to himself, to kiss him in front of all the whiney girls who constantly throw themselves at his feet.

he never understood why simon didn't bother with any of them, maybe it's because they wanted the popularity and "clout" of dating him, and not actually want him.

harry wants him, wants to see him when he first wakes up, wants to be there when he's having a hard time, want's to be the one who runs to him on the pitch after a game to hug him even though he's all sweaty. he wants it all, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

it's all so confusing, simon keeps turning down each and every girl who gives their all for him, was he a no-serious-relationship type? or is he just dumb and doesn't realize how good he has it? he can get anyone or anything he wants.

he's smart, funny, pretty, talented, athletic, and deep down soft hearted, harry was sure he had a heart of gold. a man like simon could be mean or harmful to anything.

once, harry saw him outside alone on break with a butterfly on his finger so delicately, he spoke to the insect as if it could answer him back, and when the bell rang to go back in, he laid the creature softly on a pretty flower.

harry never thought his heart could melt the way it did.

right now, harry is sat at the lunch table, surrounding him is josh, vik and the two cals. their school has circle lunch tables, which is perfect for the group, the five of them gathered around chatting shit, cracking jokes to one another.
