Summary
“What are you doing here Wille?” The cabinet door slams closed and they both jump at the sound. He winces, setting down the mug with slightly shaking hands.
“Let’s try this again.” Simon closes his eyes to rub at his temple in frustration. He tries to school his voice and expression into something calmer and more nonchalant than he feels; “What are you doing in front of my home without any kind of warning? It’s been nearly three years, Wille. You understand that you can’t just do that, right?”
OR
Simon is at a turning point in his new fast paced life in the city of London. He’s finally landed a major breakout role onstage, in the West End revival of the musical Spring Awakening. It seems as though all of his stars are finally aligning.
Things take a turn when Wilhelm, who still lives in Stockholm and now works as a fashion designer after giving up his title, shows up out of the blue with a request that leaves him feeling blindsided and unmoored.
The past and the present find themselves tangled together as they are forced to confront their past mistakes, their lingering feelings toward one another and the secrets of their relationship which still keep them tied together.

Summary
Running from his mother and her unattainable expectations, Wilhelm finds solace at his brother’s house in Bjärstad. It was there he found a sense of belonging, a sense of hope, that, maybe one day, he too could be brave like Erik and leave his tumultuous household.
It only took one night for the boy next door to catch his eye. The boy who lived in the house where screaming and fighting seemed to be a constant, who shooed away help like his life depended on it but seemed to crave it so deeply in his soft brown eyes.
“I just wanna be friends with you. Everyone needs a friend.”
"Bullshit.”
Because since the first night they met, Simon saw the way Wilhelm looked at him. It was the way this whole fucking town looked at him but worse. Like he was broken, weak, someone who needed to be saved by the cute, privileged boy next door even though he’d been protecting his family for as long as he could remember - even the one who was destroying them.
"Why do you say that?”
“Because I see the way you look at me, Wille."
Because I think I might look at you the same way and I don’t just wanna be friends with you, either.

Summary
Wilhelm Löwen walks in, and Simon’s heart stops.
Simon may have had a crush on Wilhelm when the show first started airing, is the thing. As in, he followed @WilhelmLowenBase for several years after the actor left the Disney sitcom he starred in to do Dark Knights instead, and may or may not have had a poster on his wall. Or three.
Knowing that his silent prayer to not make his cheekbones flushed is going unanswered, Simon nods at each of them in turn. “Hi, everyone,” he says, and he thinks his voice sounds even enough. “I’m Simon. It’s great to meet you all.”Or: two years after Wilhelm disappoints his acting family by quitting his starring role on the critically acclaimed teen soap 'Dark Knights', his replacement has more than a few unkind things to say about him in the press. When he returns to the show for the final season, the showrunners decide there's only one way to avoid the media storm of their feud... to pretend it doesn't exist, because Wilhelm and Simon are actually friends. Best friends.

Summary
He looks the same—hair longer, features a little bit more defined, yes, but, other than that, absolutely nothing’s different. It’s the same face he used to wake up to, he used to kiss and trace with his fingertips late at night, the same face that he didn’t get to see when he left their apartment without once looking back. An arm distance away. God, he can feel the tips of his fingers tingling with the need to touch the skin of that neck.
Wilhelm takes a deep breath, tries to force a friendly smile on his face, thinks he fails miserably.
Simon has always been able to tell, anyway.
or, Simon breaks up with Wilhelm. Years later, they must see if it is possible to save what was once ruined.
