    Simon works in a bookshop. Wilhelm shows up for a royal book event. Neither of them are particularly pleased with this set up... at first.

    Summary

    Simon Eriksson does not have a crush on Wilhelm. Because Wilhelm is a goddamn Prince of Sweden and also, in all likelihood, straight. Right? So of course he doesn't. Except he's totally lying to himself. And maybe there's hope after all. Because as they get closer and Wille opens up more and more, Simon begins to think that there may be a teeny tiny chance that Wille is queer. If you squint.

    It's a good thing they both know how to use their words.

    ---------

    Off-canon either after the football match or from the very beginning, depending on your interpretation. No trauma happening on-screen. Just teenagers being riduculous(ly in love). Wilhelm blushes a lot.

    Summary

    Prince Wilhelm is nominated for the Hetero of the Year award at the QX Gay Gala. In response, he freaks out. Simon, his popstar friend who's been pining for him for the better part of a year, worries this might mean Wille's secretly homophobic. After all, what other reason could there be for him to get so upset? PG-13, Wille/Simon, AU, romance/humor/slight drama.

    Summary

    And finally, he says what Simon has known and kept secret for over a decade now - I’m queer.

    - and incredibly proud to be so. I hope that by sharing my truth, it will encourage -

    Simon turns off his phone, the resounding click in his ears deafening as he stares at his own reflection in the blackened screen. He looks pale and gray, like he hasn’t been sleeping or eating enough.
    ____

    Or: Wilhelm never returned to Hillerska after winter break. Ten years later, Simon watches him come out on national television. Then, they reconnect.
