"I love you"

Spring Break

It's was that time of year. The time of year where the flowers bloomed and rain fell. Spring. The two boys have been galavanting in in the flower fields of the forest and their hearts. Simon was in love with Wilhelm and Wilhelm was in love with Simon. They loved each other more then anything else in the world. And they knew it. Between classes Wilhelm would always pick some small flowers and give them to Simon, then he would return the favor with a kiss. They didn't care about being in public anymore. If anything Wilhelm would try to do it in front of everyone so they knew his love for the other boy.

The dorms have warmed up a bit, but not much. But in those warmer dorms the two would wrap their arms around each other for hours and listen to the other breath. Not talk or sleep, just breath. It was Wilhelm's favorite thing to do because it helped him remember that he was in fact not dreaming and Simon was really his. As the nights got shorter and the days became longer the two would spend every waking hour together. They tried to stay together because of the the plans Wilhelm has for the next weeks.

They were in Wilhelm's dorm as usual. The blond was holding the brunette on his bed. He rubbed his thumb up and down as he gripped on tight to him. "Simon?" His voice was shaky and soft. "Yeah?" He answered. "I need to tell you something" the blond spoke, tears already forming in his eyes. "Yes?" The other answered again. "I'm leaving for a long time after break." He said. He didn't want to say it. He wanted to hold it in and never blurt it out in hopes that it would go away. "What do you mean?" The other asked. "After break I won't be coming back." He answered. Fighting back tears was useless. He looked down to see his boyfriend with those glossy streaks under his eyes. That's when the two started to lose it. Both had erupted into tears. They had cried before, but not like this. Their hearts were crying.

"You can't do anything about it?" Simon asked. His words choppy and broken from the gasps of air he took. "I cant" Wilhelm spoke defended "there's nothing I can do". After his words he dove his head into Simon's shoulder and cried more. "I love you so much" he said. Simon couldn't say it back. Not that he didn't want to. It's just that the sobs he wept wouldn't allow him to. Within a mer moment their worlds have been shattered. They had no control over it. They just had to accept it, but they couldn't. They just layer in each other's arms and cried. They cried for hours. They cried until they couldn't cry anymore.

"I love you too" Simon said finally. His tears had stopped. Both their tears stopped, but there was an emptiness inside them. It like a part of them had been torn out. Because it has. They were apart of each other. They loved each other.

"When do you leave" Simon asks timidly. "Tomorrow night" he says "I just found out today". They said nothing after that. Wilhelm leaned down a little to kiss Simon. They kissed long and soft. Their hand tangled together as they eyes leaked a little as they made love on more time. Most of the time they fuck, but this was different. This was pure love. They touched and kissed every part of each other for the last time. They cried as they muttered "I love you" between breaths. They were slow. They made love that night in that room.

After they laid in each other's arms once again. They had fallen asleep like this, their bodies pressed against each other for the last time.

When morning came, Wilhelm was the first one up. He didn't sleep much and awoke as soon as light came. So he stayed in bed holding Simon. He wanted to cry again, but didn't want to wake up his love. It was no use though. He teared up seeing his boyfriend in the light of the sun. He woke up to this sight almost everyday, but this was the last. Simon soon woke to hind Wilhelm's de stressed state. No it was Simon comforting and holding Wilhelm.

"I don't want you to leave me" Wilhelm spoke up. His voice shaking from crying. "I would never" Simon said "I will love you till the day I die." He said.

The boys spent the day in bed for the last time. They held each other, took in the others sent. But now came time for Wilhelm's departure. His room was packed up by some palace workers while they held each other. The boys had gotten dressed in the others clothes so they would have something of the others. Simon and Wilhelm where outside in the cold air. They hugged as a car pulled up behind Wilhelm and a man came out. He stood behind him. When they released, Wilhelm had tears in his eyes again. "I love you" he said, "I love you too" Simon returned. They kissed. They kissed for the last time. They kissed long, they hoped that kiss should last forever. But it didn't. Sooner or later Wilhelm ended up in the backseat of the car and drive away. After the months of love, the craziness, and trueness, it was over.
