‘He is such an asshole!’ Madison’s voice dripping with disgust. She fell back on her bed, on the other side of the room. Simon was on the floor next to Felice’s bed, while she painted his nails.
‘I know, right?’ Felice agreed. ‘Like why does he even think he can talk to me?’ she faked a gag.
They were sitting on the floor of the girl’s room, while Felice painted his fingernails in a very light shade of lilac. They are technically not allowed nail polish during the week, but it was Thursday afternoon, and the shade was light enough to get away with for one day.
‘Sit still, Simon!’ Felice said when he was shaking with laughter while holding on to his middle finger tightly.
‘You know,’ Simon started. ‘We should start a club’ he lifted his chin proudly. ‘Hate against August club’.
Madison huffed. ‘Make that the queers against August club’. Simon started laughing again. ‘Well, I gotta invite Wille then’.
Felice snorted. ‘You two are a package deal. Wouldn’t dare to leave him out of anything you are in’
That made Simon feel proud. They had come so far since the first year of Hillerska. What a rough start they had at the beginning, and so lucky they never gave up. It had been 2 years and he loved Wille with all his heart. He couldn’t image not having him in his life. Including all the royal bullshit. And that says a lot.
‘Maybe we should ask Henry and Walter as well then’ Madison smirked.
‘Wait, you think they are queer?’ Felice gasped, mouth hanging open in surprise.
‘Oh, absolutely’ Simon rolled his eyes. How did someone not see that? The way the boys did everything together, it would be no surprise to find out there was more going on behind closed doors.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. The housemistress from Manor House came to deliver a package that had arrived for Madison.
‘Ah, yes!’ she took the package and thanked the housemistress. ‘It’s finally here’ She walked over to her bed, opened the plastic package and dumped its contents on the bed.
‘What did you order this time?’ Felice asked while looking over Simon’s shoulder to Madison’s bed. Finishing up the last nail on Simon’s pinkie.
‘Tattoos!’ Madison held up a sheet with little black tattoos, in all shapes and sizes. Simon scooted over to the bed to take one of the sheets and have a look at what tattoos his friend was into. Mostly skulls, butterflies, flowers and crosses.
‘They only stay on for a few days so I can change it up a lot’
‘Where did you get them from?’ Simon asked as he inspected one of the sheets himself. ‘These are so cool’.
‘I know, right? There is this website where you can order so many different ones. You can even design your own, with someone’s name and everything’.
‘Yeah, I would never get anyone’s name on my body’ Felice huffed.
‘No not with how quickly you switch partners’ Madison challenged.
Felices’s mouth hung open in shock. ‘Excuse you?!’ and she threw a pillow at Madison.
Simon laughed. Madison wasn’t wrong, Felice had had the most partners out of their friend group, but thinking about it, that wasn’t so hard. Wille and he had been together since first year, Stella and Frederika since second year, and only god knows what was going on between Henry and Walter, and Madison was always very secretive of her partners.
Simon looked at the sheet in his hand again and thought they were pretty cool. He always liked the look of tattoos but would never put something so permanent on his body. He changed his mind too often, he would never be able to commit to something for life. Other than Wille of course. That would never change.
Speaking of Wille...
‘Wait, did you say you could get someone’s name?’ Simon looked at Madison and smirked.
‘Yeah, you can design your own’ Madison looked over at Simon and saw the smirk on his face. ‘I like where your mind is going’. His smile grew wide.
‘What are you guys concocting together?’ Felice asked confused, looking from one face to the other.
‘He would hate it’ Madison said with glee in her eyes, almost evil.
‘You know his birthday is coming up..’ Simon continued, matching her evil smirk.
‘Tell me what is going on!!’ Felice shrieked again.
‘Wille’ both Simon and Madison said at the same time, looking at her with mischief in their eyes.
He saw the moment it daunted on Felice, and a smile overtook her lips. ‘He is going to scream, Simon’ she laughed. ‘And not in a good way’ she continued. ‘The queen will have your head if she finds out’.
‘Better make sure she doesn’t find out’ Simon could feel his rebellious side taking over completely. He loved to play a good prank on his boyfriend and now thinking of it, it had been a while. He couldn’t wait to see Wille’s face for this one.
‘Oh, this is gonna be good’ Madison laughed, the buns bouncing on her head.
‘What is the website?’ Simon asked. Madison threw him the plastic packaging with the website printed on the front. He got out his phone and typed in the website in the search bar.
After a little while he had designed a tattoo with Wille’s name in cursive and a little heart next to it. He showed the girls and they rolled on the floor with laughter.
‘Omg Simon, this is going to be the best. He is going to think it is real Simon. I don’t think he even knows that temporary tattoos exist. Madison called out in between fits of laughter.
‘He is going to kill me’ Simon’s eyes started to water.
He sat back up again to start the checkout process for the order on his phone. ‘Can I order it under your name, Madi?’ he looked up at her. ‘I can’t order this under my name, in case it gets out’
‘God, can you image the headlines?’ Felice huffed.
‘Yeah sure’ Madi agreed. They followed the steps for the checkout and waited for the confirmation email to come through. It should arrive in a week. Plenty of time to surprise his boyfriend for his birthday.
-----
Madi bumps his shoulder on Friday afternoon, on their way to the last class for the day. Math class, with Mister Englund. Absolute torture.
‘It has arrived’ she whispered to him, a small smirk on her lips. Simon quickly scanned around to see where Wille was and noticed him a few steps behind talking to Felice. Perfect.
Wille’s birthday was on Sunday and they had to go back to the palace for a small birthday celebration with the parents. Simon thought it would be best to surprise him the night before. Wille had rowing on Saturday and Simon would have time to get the tattoo on his skin with the help of the girls.
‘Perfect’ The evil glint overtook his eyes. ‘Can I come by tomorrow during rowing?’
‘Yeah sure, just text me when you’re on your way’ and they shared a mental fist pump. Just in time before Wille joined his side.
-----
Saturday morning came quick enough and Wille was getting dressed for his rowing game while Simon watched him from the bed. His eyes roamed his boyfriend’s lean body and he wished he had had more time this morning to get his fingers all over the pale skin.
‘You are staring, love’ his boyfriend turned around and smirked at him.
‘I know’ he said cocky. ‘You are my boyfriend, and I can stare all I want’ he smirked.
‘Oh, is that so?’ Wille challenged while walking back to the bed slowly, his shirt in his hand.
‘Are you going to tell me I can’t stare shamelessly at my boyfriend’s hot body, while we are in our room?’ he leaned back on his elbows, sheets pooling around his waist. Full chest on display, Wille loved it and he knew it.
Wille came closer and crawled on top of his body, biting his neck gently. He pursed his lips together to keep the sounds inside, not giving him the satisfaction of knowing the effect he had on him. He snaked his arms around his neck and pulled him closer harshly. There goes all the progress they made of Wille finally getting up.
After a short but passionate make-out session, Wille pulled back to get up from the bed. He had to or he would never leave the room and they knew it. Simon let him go reluctantly. He wants to be selfish and claim the crown prince for the rest of the day but is also excited to go to Madison’s room to get his tattoo.
After Wille kissed him one more time he left the room, and Simon finally got up and texted Madi to ask if now was a good time to come over. He dressed while waiting for a confirmation and left the room in search of some food. After getting toast from the dining room, he was on his way to Manor House.
He knocked on the door of Felice and Madi’s dorm room while stuffing the last of his toast in his mouth. The crumbs fell to the floor. God, would the queen kill him if she saw him now. The thought left his mind quickly after the door swung open and two buns appeared instead.
‘Get in’ Madi pulled his arm and her eagerness made Simon chuckle. ‘The tattoo looks so good. Wille is going to die.'
Simon was very curious about how the tattoo had turned out and followed Madi to her bed. Madi went over to her desk and opened the drawer, the perfect hiding place under a stack of papers.
She walked over to Simon and handed him the small cut-out tattoo. Simon took it from her and felt nerves swirl in his belly. It felt a bit exciting to get Wille’s name in a tattoo on his body and he was buzzing with excitement about the prank. He looked the tattoo over, the black cursive letters of Wille’s name with a heart at the end. It was truly awful.
Madi smirked at him while awaiting his reaction. Simon pursed his lips together to not burst out laughing. They locked eyes and that was all they needed. They burst out in laughter together, what were they thinking?! No one can ever know about this.
After regaining control over their bodies, they had to get to work. ‘So where are you thinking?’ Madi asked while walking to the bathroom to get a cloth and walked over to the sink. The lucky girls got their own bathroom, something Simon is still jealous of after 3 years. He and Wille always need to sneak out to the showers after their late-night sessions under the sheets.
Simon knew exactly where he was thinking but wasn’t sure how to bring it up. ‘Your arm?’ Madi asked while wetting the cloth at the sink.
‘Nope’
‘Your chest?’ she walked back over from the bathroom.
‘Wrong again’ confusion on her face. She looked him over for other possible places on his body. She stopped at the spot and Simon knew she realized what he was getting at.
‘Wait… not on your….’ Madi’s words trailed in the end.
‘Yep’ Simon smirked and stood up from the bed.
‘You are so evil’
‘Yes, everything for my love’
After they regained control for a second time since Simon had entered the room, they decided to close the curtains and move to the bathroom.
‘Ok, for this time and this time only!’ Simon looked over at Madi, who was vibrating with excitement.
‘Oh shut it, it's just a butt. I have seen butt before, ok? We all got one.'
Simon lowered his pants and bared one side of his ass cheek. Madi behind him stared and he could feel it.
‘I take it back,’ she started. ‘I have never seen a butt as good as this’
‘Madi!!’ Simon whined. ‘Just hurry’
‘Lucky Wille’ she murdered under her breath and got down on her knees to apply the tattoo to his but cheek.
-----
Simon was standing with his back to the mirror in the girl’s room, looking over his shoulder at his butt. The cursive letter stared back at him, skin a little red from the cold washcloth Madison used to apply the tattoo. It had come on perfectly and it looked more real than he had imagined it would. He knew Wilhelm was going to think it was real and for a second he doubted if this was a good idea.
Madison saw the worry lines on his forehead and stopped his train of thought.
‘Hey, it's going to be ok’ she started. ‘He is going to get the shock of his lifetime, but he will think it's funny once he realizes it is fake’ She looks at him with a serious expression, always a good friend.
They met after Wille’s speech during first year, while they were hanging out with Felice and Madi tagged along. At first, he didn’t realise how much they had in common, but they soon became best friends.
He looked over once more, before covering himself again and pulling up his pants. She was probably right. It was just a prank, and Wille usually loved his pranks. Eventually.
And it would come off. If Wille hated it, he could remove it tonight if he wanted to. He told himself not to worry and calmed his mind.
After cleaning up the mess they had made, they decided to go get a coffee and start on their homework, before Wille would be back from rowing.
After spending some time in the library with Madi - and not getting shit done because he was too nervous for his prank and because he and Madi just couldn’t be serious for more than two seconds -he decided to go back to their room to see if Wille was back.
When he got back Wille wasn’t there yet. He put his books down on the desk and decided to scroll on his phone on the bed. They only used Wille’s bed and the other bed remained untouched for the last two years.
Not too long later, the door opened and his human-statute-of-a-boyfriend entered the room, flushed and sweaty. Simon thought he looked gorgeous.
‘Hey’ Wille had the sweetest smile in the whole universe and Simon’s insides swirled.
‘Hey beautiful’ he replied while sitting up from the bed. ‘How was rowing?’
Wille came over and leaned down to kiss him on the mouth. He wanted him to climb all over him but he knew Wille would want to shower first.
‘It was good’ he started, ‘missed you’ he pecked his lips a second time. ‘I’m going to shower. Want to come?’
Shit. He never refused a shower with his boyfriend.
‘I already showered this morning’ he lied.
Wille looked at him confused. They hardly showered without each other.
‘Sorry’ he added to his lie. He was sorry for lying but he also wanted the prank to go well.
‘It’s ok’ Wille gave him his sweet smile again, the cheekbones high and gorgeous and God, Simon wanted to shower with him.
He had grown so much since their first year. Not only mentally, but mostly physically, and Simon was all here for it. His chest had gotten a lot bigger, and his face had matured more. His acne was mostly gone, covering his face with beautiful pale skin and his hair had grown out again. Not as much as the beginning of the first year but longer and a bit wilder and Simon loved it.
Wille collected his things for the shower and left the room again, leaving Simon with a longing heart and all his nerves for the prank. He decided to try his homework again, he really needed to keep his math grade to stay up. Wille had helped him so much by tutoring him and making sure he stayed on track, and he couldn’t let all that go to waste.
He was deep in thought when the door of the room opened again, and a fresh and clean crown prince appeared. Simon closed his book and threw his pencil, wanting nothing more than to jump his boyfriend. He got up from the chair while Wille hung his towel to dry near the sink and turned around just in time to catch Simon who had let himself fall into his boyfriend.
A surprised gasp left Wille’s lips and a giggle once he caught Simon in his arms.
‘Hey you’ he whispered in his hair. Simon just kissed his lips in reply, and again and again. He felt so lucky to call Wille his boyfriend and was so happy they got to spend the last two years together.
‘Are you ok with going to the palace tomorrow?’ Wille asked after leaving a small kiss on his nose. Searching his face for an answer.
‘Yeah, I’m alright. How are you feeling about it?’ he hooked his arms behind his neck, feeling Wille’s arms around his waist.
‘Alright, I think’ he started, looking away from Simon’s eyes. ‘It will just be long and boring, and I’d rather stay here and spend the day with you’ finding Simon’s eyes again.
‘I know’ Simon whispered. He knew how much Wille hated going to the palace and having to spend time with his parents on special occasions like his birthday or Christmas. He knew how much Wille rather spend it here with him and some of their friends or at Simon’s house, which has become his home as well over the last few years. He loved Linda like a mother he never had, and Simon felt sorry for him.
‘Mama would love to see us this week. I’m sure she got a present for you’ he smiled at him, hoping to cheer him up a bit. Wille’s whole face lit up, as Simon knew it would. He loved when Wille looked happy, it made his face extra beautiful. He pushed himself onto his tippy toes so he could kiss him again. He felt Wille’s hands move to his butt. He loved when Wille touched his butt and he knew where this would go if he let it. But he had a prank to pull.
‘Speaking of presents...’ Simon grinned at his lips. Wille’s eyes grew with wonder.
‘Am I getting my present now? A day early?’ Wille smirked at Simon. Simon knew exactly where his mind was going. Over the last few years, they had unintentionally started a tradition, where the birthday boy got a birthday blowjob. Wille would get his tomorrow morning, but it seemed that he was already excited about it.
Simon smirked. ‘You will get one present today and the other one tomorrow’ he decided to tease a little longer. He unhooked his arms from Wille’s shoulders and took a few steps back. ‘Sit down’ he instructed while waving at the bed.
Wille did as he was asked and took Simon’s hand while sitting on the bed. Simon stood in front of him, holding onto his hand, while nerves started to build in his belly.
‘So I wanted to do something special this year..’ he started and his heart was beating a little faster.
‘Because we have been together for two years now, and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you’ he continued, Wille looked at him with amazement. ‘and because you are so amazing, Wille. I feel so lucky to spend every day with you’ He smiled his best smile, he meant every word from the bottom of his heart.
‘Me too, Simme. I love you with every cell in my body’ he smiled while looking up at him and caressing the fingers of the hand he was holding.
‘I love you too. So that’s why I did something special for you’ he let go of Wille’s hand and started to unbutton his pants. Wille’s eyes were following his movement and a slight confusion appeared in his brow.
He slowly pushed his pants down and turned around. He lowered one side of his boxers to reveal his ass cheek for Wille. He was still turned away and he couldn’t see his face but he could hear the moment Wille saw the tattoo. A loud gasp filled the room.
Simon looked over his shoulder and saw the biggest eyes stare at his ass. Wille’s mouth hung open and he felt his heart rate pick up.
Complete silence.
A long moment went by before Wille spoke. Or tried to.
‘I-...’ he started, but nothing followed. Eyes frozen on his name on his boyfriend's butt.
‘Si-…’ he finally closed his mouth. Simon pursed his lips together to hold his laugh. He wished he could have a picture of Wille’s face right now.
Wille’s hand went through his hair and he let out a sound somewhere between a gasp and a chuckle, his eyes never leaving his ass.
‘Uhm-..’ he swallowed loudly. Simon looked away to make sure he wasn’t going to laugh.
‘What do you think, my love?’ Simon asked in the most innocent voice he could muster. Still holding his boxers down to show Wille his fake tattoo.
‘I-uhm..’ He could see sweat droplets on the side of his forehead. Oh God, what if he gave the crown prince of Sweden a heart attack?
He pulled his boxers back over his butt cheek and turned around to see Wille’s face better. He saw surprise, worry and something else. Oh GOD, what if he liked it?!?!
‘Wille, my love?’ he took his face in his hands, looking down at the flushed boy on the bed.
He saw Wille close his eyes and swallow before opening them again with a collected smile. Oh-oh, his media training was showing. ‘It’s… very special’ he managed.
Simon couldn’t hold his laugh any longer. ‘Very special? Really?’ He wanted to push a little further before revealing the truth.
‘Well, it’s something’ Wille managed to add, still flushed, scratching the back of his head.
Simon started laughing, letting go of Wille’s face. He pulled his pants back up so he could straddle Wille’s hips and kiss him wildly and telling him how sweet he is, that he didn’t lose his shit while thinking that his boyfriend got his name tattooed on his ass. Not to think what his mother, the queen, would think of it.
He buttoned his pants and looked back up at Wille, whose eyes got a little panicked and his breathing a little quicker. An outsider wouldn’t have noticed but after spending every waking minute together for the last two years, Simon knew every sign.
‘Hey, love?’ he started while climbing on Wille’s lap. ‘It’s ok’ he wrapped his arms around his neck and got closer, leaving a small kiss on his cheek. ‘Can I tell you a secret?’ he asked softly.
Wille’s eyes finally found his. His sweet and beautiful puppy dog eyes looked at him like a child who was waiting for instructions. Did he mention he loved him so much?
‘It’s not real, my love’ he finally confessed while they locked eyes. Simon saw his eyes search his face, confusion yet again. ‘It’s a temporary tattoo. It will wash off in a few days.'
Wille closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief while snaking his arms around his waist. His favourite place.
‘Oh, Simon..’ he chuckled, while his head hit Simon’s shoulder. ‘You nearly killed me just then’.
They both started laughing. ‘Did you really think I would get your name tattooed?’
‘It looks very real Simon!’ he exclaimed. ‘I was so shocked’
Simon doubled over on the bed with laughter. ‘You should have seen your face!’
‘You are going to regret this. I’m going to make you regret this’ Wille warned while he climbed on top of him and started tickling his sides.
Simon yelped. ‘Oh yeah? How are you going to do that?’
‘Well, first of all, since it will wash off in a few days, I want to look at it all day, so you better take this off’ hooking his finger in his belt loop and pulling harshly.
Simon had never been undressed so quickly and if he knew the tattoo was going to make Wille this excited, he would have considered getting a real one.
Later that day they ended up taking a shower together anyway.
