    Summary

    The cheap fluorescent lights of the convenience store almost resembled those of his childhood bathroom. But Simon was sixteen now, and he hadn’t been a child for a long, long time. His hands pulled one of the fridge doors open and he reached inside, blindly grabbing two bottles without even checking the label. Because it was past midnight, and Simon couldn't talk to his sister, or to his friends, or to anyone. Because his Dad was probably passed out somewhere and Mama had work in the morning. Because the boy he loved wasn’t there anymore, and someone had stolen Simon's childhood.

    __

    or, a canon divergent follow-up to s1 where we actually get to see simon's storyline and the repercussions from the video (featuring a much needed simon breakdown).

    Summary

    Even drowning in evidence to the contrary, Simon's terrible fucked-up brain wants to believe in people, wants to believe they can change and care enough about him to do it, and so the cycle keeps churning. That’s the definition of stupidity, isn’t it? Doing the same thing over and over, expecting a new result. Feeling the same thing over and over again, knowing it won’t change anything.

    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.
