Evan knew what time of night it was and he knew what was going to happen.

It's been almost a year since his mother passed. His father started to drink more, and the kingdom became less and less mighty. The townspeople have been angered as of late, and Evan has been living in fear for nearly three months now.
His father had started becoming angry at everything, especially Evan. He'd scream that it was his son's fault that the queen was dead, and Evan wouldn't be allowed to cry. Evan would then have a cup be thrown at his head which always leaves big purple bruise.

But, even though this happened every day for three months, Evan would smile when he saw his best friend climb through the window and help him mend his wounds.
Jonathan would always make Evan smile, even if it was just when he was thinking of him.

Evan had fallen in love, and he had not realized it sooner. He knew that he loved Jon's presence, as his presence alone could make Evan feel safe. He knew that Jon's smile was the brightest thing in the world, and that he would never get over his beautiful laugh that was music to his ears. He knew that Jonathan was labeled as a monster, but Evan fell for him anyways. Evan was in love with his best friend, and, as he thought about how amazing Jon was, he had forgotten that Jon could hear all of Evan's thoughts if he wanted to - and Jon did.

That was the night that the pair of best friends realized that they were in love with each other. They both knew that, no matter what, they would always be with the other and love and support them. They both knew that they would find a way to get their happy ending.
