“Felice, FELICE!!! What am I going to get Simon?” Wille came running in to her room.
Wille was enjoying the best summer of his life. He had been staying between Felice’s, Simon’s and his parents and a few road trips with Simon, Sara and Felice as well. Summer was nearly over and Simon’s birthday was in two weeks and no matter how much Wille asked Simon what he would like for his birthday, he would always reply that Wille was the only present he needed. And while this was cute and romantic it did not help Wille in the slightest because he was determined to get his boyfriend the best present ever.
“Ooooo how about some jewellery from the Royal vault before you are officially excluded from it” Felice giggled
“I do not think Simon would wear anything from the Royal family vault – and he would tell me how each piece was probably made from stolen jewels and unethically sourced – and he is right” Wille sided eyed Felice as she raised her perfectly waxed eyebrow at Wille as he ranted.
“Whipped” Felice fake coughed “Well for future reference I have no such morals when it comes to jewellery and my birthday is two weeks after Simon’s.” Felice flashed Wille her dazzling smile. “Well I have got him wireless headphones and I know Sara is drawing him something”
“They are both great ideas… can I have them?” Wille whined dramatically
“My darling Wille you cannot draw – well you can but it looks like a 7 year old drew it but you know even if you drew Simon a stick figure and stuck pasta on it he would love it because it is from you….and definitely not my headphones idea – this is a perfectly thought out idea from one musician to another and it is not exactly a boyfriend present.”
“Urghhh – I want to give him something creative and amazing Felice. He was wrote me two songs that mean the world to me and I want to show him he is my whole world and he deserves everything beautiful and amazing because he is the most wonderful, kind, beautiful, gorgeous”
“Ok ok we get it – you are madly in love. But seriously Wille as long as you try he will love it…and if that fails you can just offer him your body”
“Oh fuck off Felice” Wille laughed and blushed “That is a given anyway” Wille teased back and stuck out his tongue and Felice squealed and pushed him back laughing “TMI, TMI”
Wille and Felice sat a while, just relaxing as Felice removed the chipped nail polish and repainted Wille’s nails for him. He found it soothing and relaxing when he got his nails done and he helped him think.
“I have to get organised Felice – I have a few ideas for what to do for the day – stop with the eyebrows unless you want me to start telling you how amazing he is again, ….but I want to give him a gift. Even Mama and Papa have got him a gift and Malin has made him beautiful bracelet”
“Oh what is Krissie getting Simon?”
“A watch…. A Rolex watch – that matches the one they got me”
Felice looked at Wille with the sweetest look in her eyes, “That is equally sweet and funny”
“I know Simon will roll his eyes at the extravagance but it is nice they are trying”
Felice gave Wille a side hug and they both smiled.
“Don’t worry Wille you will figure it out – just think of the things that make him smile and watch him carefully. Maybe he will drop some sort of hint.”
A few days before Simon’s birthday Wille was talking to Rosh and Ayub getting them up to speed on his plans for Simon’s birthday.
“If you start this big Wille, you know you are going to have to top this every year” Rosh teased Wille.
“Also please, for the love of god do not have us all land at the lake and you two are skinny dipping or in the throws of passion – that has happened too many times this summer already and Mama Linda does not need to see your bare ass Wille” Ayub added
“Ayub I have apologised so many times – I did not know you were coming over to play video games or I never would have….and it was one time”
“What? flashing poor Ayub once is more than enough – the therapy he will need Wille” Rosh joked.
“I will make sure we are both fully clothed for the party” Wille smiled shyly back. He enjoyed the playful teasing and banter but he knew Rosh and Ayub were still weary for Simon but they had formed a tentative friendship of sorts over the summer.
“I cannot believe Queeny allowed you to do this” Rosh laughed as she watched Wille get the finishing touches for Simon’s present
“I know me either Rosh”
“No regrets man?” Ayub asked
“It would be a bit late at this stage” Wille laughed but as he looked at the finished present he smiled to himself “Defintiely not – I just hope Simon loves it as much as I do”
Rosh and Ayub looked at each other and smiled, “I think he will and with the camping and party and food as well he will definitely be happy”.
“So I have your birthday present” Wille says nervously when he sees Simon standing looking out at the lake, their lake and taking in the site before him.
Simon simply turns around suddenly and smiles and takes the few steps forward to wrap his arms around Wille’s shoulders, taking a moment for himself to just be held by Wille and breathe in his calming and intoxicating scent.
“I can see”, Simon smiles, turning and looking at the over the top glamping set up Wille has arranged for Simon. The cream bell tent is situated to give a perfect view of the lake with a surprisingly comfortable looking full sized double bed inside and the inside and outside is covered in fairy lights and floor covered in rugs and surrounded by LED candles and there is a bistro table set up at the side and Simon can smell the delicious food nearby that Wille has arranged to be delivered.
“You know my birthday is not until tomorrow and you did not need to get me this much, Wille – you are present enough” Simon smiled in to Wille’s neck and started to caress his lips against Wille’s skin, feeling the goosebumps form at his delicate touch.
“There is more tomorrow but I …..wanted…..tonight..” Wille struggled to form sentences as Simon torturously kissed and nipped at his neck, “To just be ….us”
Simon pulled back and took Wille’s hand and led him to the bed. He had felt Wille’s nervousness radiating off him and knew the best way to relax him,
“I do not know why you are so nervous Wille, it is amazing – Thank you”
Simon and Wille lay on the bed and kissed gently, knowingly just enjoying the moment and each other. Simon was very aware that Wille was still very nervous.
“Wille if you want to go or do not want to do anything out in the open like this that is ok, I am happy to just cuddle all night and talk and sing and have you, a sunset and then stars”
Wille looked down at his lap and then up at Simon, who gently took Wille’s hand and caressed it between his fingers,
“It’s definitely not that, I want whatever you want tonight and you to feel loved – so your wish is my command tonight, I just have another present for you I am a bit nervous about” Wille continued as he pulled his hand from Simon’s hands, confusing Simon. Wille took a deep breath, which made Simon a little worried but Wille reached down to the hem of his polo shirt and tried to pull it off over his head. Simon smiled as he realised Wille had forgot to undo the top two buttons and it was now stuck around his head.
“Here hold on Wille, let me help” Simon gently pulled the top down again and un did the buttons, holding Wille’s gaze and trying to reassure him. As Simon pulled the top off he instinctively ran his hands down Wille’s chest and let his hungry gaze take in his beautiful boyfriend. He could feel Wille’s breathing deepen and suddenly Simon felt like he stopped breathing.
“Wille” Simon gasped as his hand went to the top left hand side of Wille’s hip. There was a small purple heart tattoo that looked exactly like how Simon drew his love hearts, always with a little bit of a tail to them.
“Is it…is it a temporary tattoo Wille” Simon asked, unable to take his eyes of his fingers away from it, gently caressing the outline of the heart.
“It is your heart – you drew it on that note you gave me one time and the tattoo artist was able to copy it onto me, like tracing – so it is your heart and it is real and permanent – is that ok?” Wille asked nervously
Simon looked up at Wille and smiled lovingly at the love of his life and he then leaned in and kissed Wille gently and chastely on his lips and then he leaned down and repeated the motion and gently kissed the tattoo.
“I love it Wille and I love you. How do you still have the note with the heart that was from class months ago?”
“I keep everything from you –and I remember everything too” Wille whispered
“You drew a heart on my hand after I came back to school and we talked about tattoos and you said you like them and seemed disappointed when I told you the Crown Prince could not have a tattoo. But I am just Wille now, your Wille, and I wanted to get a tattoo to remind me of you always…even when I am grey and old and you have to help me up the front step of out little cottage by the sea”
Simon felt the tears rolling down his cheeks and Wille reached to wipe them away and kiss his neck, and pull him so their bodies were flush against each other. They lay down, Simon’s head on Wille’s chest as he traced the outline of the tattoo with his finger. Simon felt so overwhelmed with love for Wille.
“Just when I think I could not possibly love you anymore you seem to find a way to make my heart grow even more to be able to love you more Wille…. I love it and I love you”
Several hours later, sated and spent and wrapped up in each other. Simon still gently caressing the purple heart every chance he could he smiled and Wille and said “I want to get one too to match”
“Only if Linda says it ok – I am not having her scold me”
Simon laughed “Mama will not care and I can get it low enough you will be the only person to ever see it….oh my god…. Your Mama will have me thrown in the dungeons when she finds out”
Wille laughed, “Linda is more likely to do that to me if you get one with out her permission and Mama signed the consent form and only asked I do not get anything tattooed on my face”
Simon giggled, and they both knew how much that meant that Wille was making progress with his parents. “ I would love to have seen her if you said it was going be something ridiculous like my face on your arm”
“Simon, seriously Papa asked me was that what I wanted to get and stared going on about capturing art in the moment and he started joking with Mama about getting a tattoo as well”
Simon was howling and Wille told him it was not funny.
They spent the rest of the night and the next morning having the most perfect blissful time together. Wille then told Simon he was going to get the next part of his birthday organised and took out a sleeping mask and went to put it on Simon, “Kinky” Simon laughed as Wille blushed.
So Simon lay on the bed, eye mask on and headphone playing music until Wille came and removed the eye mask and earphone and Simon took in the sight. In the distance in the clearing below the tent there was a mini dance floor, food and disco lights and all his friends and family were standing in front of him. His Mama holding a cake as they all sang Happy Birthday in Swedish and then in Spanish. Wille smiling at Simon as he proudly sang the loudest of them all for the Spanish one, as Linda gently praised him afterwards.
Simon spent that day and the evening surrounded by his friends and family, showered in love. Simon smiled at Wille when he got the present from the Queen, but he put it on to match Wille and he loved every present. After Wille’s present Simon’s favourite was the picture Sara had loving drawn and painted. It was of them all by the sea, Simon, Wille, Sara, Felice, Rosh, Ayub and Linda and even Malin in the background which made Wille laugh so much.
As the evening wore on and the laughter echoed in the forest, Wille came up to Simon, holding him by the waist. “I have something else for you too” he whispered in Simon’s ear as he gently turned him around and placed his hand on Simons jaw and kissed him with love, and Simon kissed him back eagerly.
“Happy Birthday Simon”
“Thank you Wille for the best birthday ever” Simon smiled into his next kiss with Wille.
