"I love you."

Simon hugged Wilhelm tighter. His eyes were now watery. He let go of the other boy.

"I hope you have a nice Christmas."

Wilhelm looked at him disappointed. His lips were pressed into a tin line, his eyes watery too.

"Thanks, Simon." Wilhelm looked like he was about to cry. His eyes puffy and red. He headed towards the car, which was taking him to the palace. He didn't look back.

Simon looked after him, untill the car couldn't be seen anymore.

Sara came and hugged his brother. She saw what just happened, but still didn't know what they said to eachother. She decided to not ask him now, not untill he's feeling better.

Wilhelm was in the car now, just thinking. Thinking about the things that happened.

He was crying by now, but how couldn't he? He lost everyone. His brother died. His cousin leaked his sex tape and outed him to the whole world. His mother knew this and didn't do anything about it. He had to lie about not being him in the sex tape, him and Simon broke up because of that.

All because he was Crown Prince of Sweden. Bullshit.

Wille arrived at the palace. He immediately went up to his room, not caring about what his mom or anyone would say if they saw him crying.

He was curled into a ball, crying on his bed, when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Wilhelm straighten up himself and started rubbing his chest. The boy couldn't speak or stay calm. He went into his bathroom and sat on the cold floor, opened the water tap and listened how the water was running.

A few minutes later he calmed down. The prince sat a little bit longer on the floor, untill he heard a knock on the door of the bathroom.

"Crown prince Wilhelm, are you okay?" Malin - his bodyguard asked.

"I'm okay, Malin." He said quietly. She barely heard him.

"Do you need any help? Do you want me to inform the queen?" He nodded his head in 'no', but the realized she couldn't see him.

"No, Malin. Thank you." Wille said louder. He got up, but felt dizzy. A few seconds of seeing black his vision got better.

Malin had a worried expression on her face, but relaxed after seeing the prince coming out of the bathroom.

"Thank god." She whispered to herself. She left the room, right after Wille's cheeks got wet again.

He couldn't sleep properly that night, or the next five. All he could think about was this one boy. The boy with curly brown hair. The boy with the most precious smile he had ever seen. The person that Wilhelm loved the most on this world. Simon.

But Simon wasn't there.

Every morning he would woke up thinking Simon was sleeping next to him, but he wasn't.

It was Christmas. There was a Christmas party his mother had organized. Honestly, he didn't give two shits about it, he didn't want to go. His mother begged him to come to the party, but he wasn't in the mood.

All night he heard music and people laughing from the hall over his room.

Wilhelm decided to do something. Something that wanted so much courage, but he did it anyway.

He grabbed his phone and send a message to Simon. He wasn't entirely sure if that was the right thing to do, but he did it anyways.

He closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

He spend Christmas all alone.

Simon was the same.

His mother tried everything to cheer him up, but it didn't work.

His friends tried to convince him to hang out, but he always rejected them.

Simon didn't left his room for a week. He only got out if he had to go to the toilet. When he was hungry his mother would bring him food.

He regretted it. Regretted for not saying 'I love you' back, but he had to stay loyal to himself, because he knew his heart would be broken again.

It was Christmas. His mother convinced him to come out of his room and spend some time with his family and friends.

He got out of his pajamas and put on some appropriate clothing.

Everyone was in the living room when he entered. He sat next to  Ayub.

Ayub patted his back and asked if he was alright. Simon didn't say anything, just nodded giving a little smile.

His phone vibrated. He got a message and it was from...Wille? He opened it and read it.

Today

Wilhelm
Hey, Simon.
How are you? I hope you're alright.
Have a nice Christmas.
I miss you.
10:29 pm


What was he suppost to reply?

He now realized how stupid his words towards Wille were. i HoPe YoU hAvE nIcE cHrIsTmAs.

What the hell, Simon!
I can't just leave him on read.
This would be very mean and he would think that I hate him. Oh, god. Simon thought.

Me
Hi, Wille.
I'm okay. I'm spending
Christmas with my family.
I hope you're feeling
better. :)
10:32 pm

Was really Wille missing him? Secretly, Simon hoped he did, because he did too.

An hour later, Sara got a message from August. She went to the toilet and left her phone in the living room.

August ❤️
Hey, baby. I talked with the headmistress and she said she can give you and your brother rooms here. Just like you wanted. Love you.
11:41 pm

Was Sara dating August? That was odd. Sara always told everything to her brother. Simon did too. They promised to eachother to never keep secrets, but why Sara didn't tell him about her and August dating?

And what rooms that Sara wanted? What the hell is happening?

He decided he would talk with her tomorrow.  He was already exhausted and he wanted to sleep.

But the message from Wilhelm digged his brain. Wille was missing him. Simon wanted to call him and tell him how much he loved and missed the boy too, but he couldn't do it. He had to stay loyal to himself, or he would get his heart broken again.

He fell asleep a little after and he saw the prince in his dream.

They were laying on the grass watching the sunset, tangled up. Wilhelm kissed all over his face and lastly, but passionately kissed Simon's lips. They started making out. He kissed blonde boy's jaw and neck, making sure to leave hickeys-

His eyes opened. It was just a dream. He felt disappointed.

It was 4:12. The curly-haired boy decided to go back to sleep. He didn't woke up again that night.
