Hands

[alltoowille]

Happy 4/20, Happy Easter, here’s 1k from the long awaited painter AU chapter 10. She’s not abandoned, but a long way off from finished, so here’s a little sneak peek as a treat and a thank you to everyone who has ever told me, continually even still, what this story means to them <3 (blows my mind and fills me with joy knowing people still think about it so much nearly two years since the last update)

Love you, enjoy :)

“Do you ever feel like a bad person?” Wille asked, an awfully quiet question for the force with which it hit Simon.

Simon looked down to where Wille’s head rested in the crook of his outstretched elbow, hand extended to curl loosely around Wille’s shoulder.

One of his gangly legs was straightened, ankle tucked between Simon’s feet. His other foot was flat on the bed, knee bent. Wille was rubbing the knuckles of his first two fingers up and down his thigh.

Simon loved watching Wille’s hands.

They always found something to do, something to touch.

His fingers were searching, always, for textures and sensations that reminded him he could feel things that were good. He’d trace the grooves in the wood of tables, nodding along to their conversation and only rarely glancing up from his meandering hand.

Wille loved soft blankets and running his fingertips along the wall as he climbed stairs.

He loved to trace the spiral of a single curl that fell over Simon’s eyes. He marveled at the world beneath his hands—running a nail under the seam down the side of his jeans, touching Simon’s eyebrows to soothe the furrow between them.

Simon slipped his arm to wrap around Wille’s chest, hoisting him closer. Wille hummed, nearly a purr, always so gorgeously receptive to being touched.

He rested his chin against Wille’s head.

“Wille,” he said. “Do you think you’re a bad person?”

Wille didn’t speak. He didn’t move. Simon smashed his cheek into Wille’s hair and tightened his fingers inadvertently.

Wille took in a quick breath and shakily exhaled.

“I asked you first,” he huffed weakly.

Simon shrugged, amused and saddened by the deflection but deciding to cave, hoping if he answered first it would help Wille be honest with him.

“Not really. I try not to be an asshole, and some people think I am, but it doesn’t bother me cause I know that I’m not. I’m not like, perfect, but I don’t really regret many of the choices I’ve made,” he mused, letting his own fingers dance loopy lines up and down Wille’s sternum.

Wille’s abs twitched, ticklish as Simon’s fingers danced too softly along his ribs.

Simon found the mark on Wille’s side and cupped his fingers around it.

He tugged Wille’s body closer, digging into the bruise and cuddling his chin down onto his shoulder.

Wille exhaled.

“I have this crush,” Simon said.

Wille’s finger tucked itself into the elastic of his black briefs, Simon’s, technically, which he had once again found and stolen. They were tight around his body, elastic cutting into the layer of fat above his hipbones and Simon’s mouth watered as Wille twisted the waistband tightly around his finger.

It was just a nervous tic, something to distract him from the vulnerability, but it cut the fabric more tightly into his hips and Simon ached with want.

“Oh yeah?” Wille said.

“He’s pretty hot,” Simon added, and Wille’s torso twitched with a laugh.

“He used to really intimidate me, cause he’s really tall, and like, self assured, and his clothes fit really well and sometimes make it look like he has an ass which is an impressive feat,” he couldn’t keep the grin out of his voice as he reached down to grab at Wille’s flat ass.

“Hey,” Wille whined, squirming, “Fuck you.”

“I like your ass,” Simon stated, squeezing it again. “You’d look weird with a bubble butt,” he giggled at the thought and Wille turned to meet his eyes, shaking his head affectionately.

He dropped it back onto Simon’s chest. A moment later, he nuzzled closer, warm ear against a steady heartbeat.

“Anyway, this guy I like, he’s not intimidating when you get to know him, he’s just shy, and quiet at first.” Simon continued.

“And he’s really smart, but you don’t even realize just how smart he is until you’ve known him for a while because he spends a lot more time listening than he does talking. But when you get him talking, he knows so much, about, like everything. And you’re like woah, there’s so much in his head that I don’t know, and I want to,” Simon said, feeling himself get carried away with the detachment this particular dramatic choice allowed him.

He only meant to gas Wille up a bit, help him see the good things.

“He’s really sweet, too, like, always walks on the side of the sidewalk with the cars. I feel like I’m in Pride and Prejudice or something,” he rambled on.

“And I always think about this one time, we were walking to the bodega, and there was a man rolling crates of soda, struggling to hold the door with his shoulder and get the like, rolly thing in there, and he just held the door as we passed by, didn’t even pause our conversation, or like, one time, this baby literally stopped crying when he started smiling at it on the train,” Simon went on.

Wille shifted his body on top of Simon, face down in his chest with his torso pinning Simon to the mattress, one leg bent and resting between Simon’s own, clinging to him like a barnacle on a ship’s hull.

Simon’s heart tightened and so did his grip.

“He’s just like, I don’t know, kind, in this like, glowy way that everyone can see,” he slid a hand into Wille’s hair and Wille shuddered underneath him.

Simon’s torso felt oppressively hot under the weight of Wille’s head.

“And he gets really uncomfortable easily, he doesn’t like being looked at for a long time, or talked about,” Simon said, nearly spitballing his perceptions of Wille, unsure how accurate his read on this man even was.

“He’s strong, too, like, he can run for like, over an hour. Like, that’s crazy,” Simon said honestly, and Wille snorted.

Simon wanted to cry.

“He’s not a bad person,” he pressed into Wilhelm’s hair desperately, whispering to keep his voice from cracking.

Wille was so beautiful and Simon felt heavy with the newly acquired knowledge of just how much he disliked himself. He didn’t know what to do or how to help but Wille nuzzled hard into his body like he could crawl inside Simon’s perception of him and live inside it, a new home, a respite from the guilt and shame that had been weighing on him his whole life.

Wille snaked both of his strong forearms around Simon’s back and squeezed tight. His back arched uncomfortably but he just held Wille, stroking his hands along his skin, everywhere, everywhere, everywhere.

never understood why people want wilhelm to be the one obsessed and yearning and miserable over everything that goes wrong between them when simon is always equally obsessed, yearning and miserable. wilhelm took a jump of faith as small as holding fingers with simon and it already gave simon the courage to hop 20 steps further and kiss wille TWICE! wilhelm did as little as merely ask simon why he wasn't coming to rowing practice and simon challenged him to break all rules and leave the premise of school just to come on a date with him. wilhelm joined the choir for them to spend more time together and it elated simon so bad he nearly cut wille's ribcage open and jumped inside. he changed the school's 120 year old anthem into a love song for wilhelm after they'd been together for mere months and hadn't even officially dated! he quite literally breathed the very fabric of wille's sweater day and night those few weeks that they were broken up. after their break up in s3, he wanted to leave his hometown of 16 years cause everything in that small town reminded him of wille.... yes. wille's done many dramatic, embarrassing, lover boy acts for simon too, but simon is as much of a yearner and a lover, if not an even bigger one.

I think people got Simon's reaction to Wille's outburst wrong. People have speculated about Micke's violent tendancy ever since we saw him, but it was never confirmed in the show (except that time in season 1 when he grabs Simon, but it might have been a one time occurance, we don't know that. I also think it's important to say that it was confirmed in season 3 that Simon only stopped seeing his dad because of Sara, not because he didn't want to), and I think that's why people think that Simon is scared of Wille in that scene.

But hear me out. Would you go into bed with someone who just scared you? Would you?

Also, in that heartbreaking scene, Simon says that he sees how the situation his hurting Wille and that seeing him hurt hurts him too. I think with that outburst, Simon was shocked to see how deep Wille's trauma is, how deeply he is hurt by his familly. And that hurst Simon too because he loves Wille and he hates seeing him like this.

And someone pointed out that Simon is fully aware of Wille's temper. He saw that video of him getting in a fight in that club. He saw Wille treatening August with a gun. And he never said anything about it.

So I really believe that Simon wasn't scared of Wille in that scene. I think he was scared for Wille. And that's another thing.

However we can all have different opinions so please don't come at me for that as I totally respect other opinions.

The royal court letting Wilhelm manage Simon’s media training/behaviour is so fucking funny like. This boy was introduced in s1 by being dragged away from a rave, who said fuck it and pulled rank in the most absurd ways in s2, who threatened the queen via speaker phone, who pulled a gun on his cousin, who impulsively changed his royal initiation speech midway and publicly came out to the entire country. That wilhelm? You want that wilhelm to tell his boyfriend to lay low? Ma’am pls 🤡

Did ya notice that Wilhelm looked extra RICH this season? The costume department really stepped their game up, more than ever and doubled down on the quiet luxury trend for Wilhelm. You can see how they blatantly conveyed the vast financial difference between him and Simon through their wardrobe. From their suits at Wilhelms birthday party, to their opposing outifts at their pre trial hearing....Even Wilhelms camping outfit looks like its straight out of a luxury outdoor brands ad campaign. The styling choices this season are simple, but very well executed.

no gesture in the history of romance has ever managed to carry so much admiration, devotion, fondness, softness, intimacy or care as that back rub. i know wilmon have never called each other any pet names, but this right here, is the physical embodiment of 'sweetheart 🤍'
