Drawing of Simons alien-creature-pet (She's really nice, he swears.)
Chapter 3: Fake it till you make it.
Simon knew they were rich, no one can afford a spacecraft like that without swimming in wealth. The crash site alone was as big as his hometown. It makes him feel all sorts of ways, none of them good.
His nose scrunches, "Fine, just waiting for this to be over." Simon leans his chin on top of his crossed arms.
The light twitch of Rosh's eyes, her telltale sign that Simon is talking bullshit, makes him brace for a harsh comment.
Just when she opens her mouth to fire away, a knock sounds from the door. Simon calls out in permission and Wilhelm shuffles into the room. The hand that is running at the side of his neck gets caught on some protruding gauze. He hisses, blows some air out of his mouth and only then notices the two other people in the room.
"Oh- I can come back later."
As Wilhelm moves to turn around Rosh and Ayub's heads jerk to the door. "Is that him?" Ayub stands on his toes, as if that would help. His hologram sizzles.
Simon sits up straighter, waves a hand at him in a 'come here' motion. "Stand next to me, you're not in their range of view."
Wille obliges and walks over to Simon, he waves a little awkwardly at Simon's friends. "Uh, hi?"
The upturned corners of his mouth vanish when Rosh snaps a "Hello." at him, and gives a very non-subtle disapproving glance up and down. Ayub just narrows his eyes.
An awkward silence settles over them, Ayub and Rosh have some non verbal interactions that include multiple hand gestures. What Simon manages to make out of it is something along the lines of 'Are you seeing what I'm seeing?' And a head shake that, arguably, looks a lot like 'What the fuck?'.

Or read from the start!
young royals but every time wille has a mental breakdown it’s the wilhelm scream sound effect
I'm glueing my hands to my keyboard and by god will I finish this chapter today
headcanon that wille lowkey 'enjoys' being ill more than simon:
Simon - he doesn't like it because he's used to taking care of others so not being able to take care of himself isnt fun and it frustrates the hell out of him but deep down, maybe the feeling of being taken care of is nice and relaxing.
Wilhelm - he likes being ill because when he was younger, it meant that his parents would dote on him more and he wouldnt have to beg for any attention. one of the few times that they show that they care.
Fucking love how Wilhelm holds Simons hand in between both of his🫶
Sunday Tuesday Funday ☀️🍀🍄🌸 send this to your favourite blogs and ask them to share one nice thing that happened today as well as their favourite Omar picture (optional) 💜
Thank you for the ask!
I got a 9 on my exam and got to sign the contract/settlement/agreement(?) thingy today. So that was really cool! Hope your day was good as well :D
The smile that has worked its way on Simon's face drops the second he spots a familiar figure hovering on the curb in front of their house. All the chatter around him drowns out as he locks eyes with his dad.
Every fiber in his body stands on alert, surely Micke will get the hint that this is not the moment to hop by for whatever reason he deems necessary.
He doesn't.
His dad's face lights up a tad, and Simon hopes with everything that he has that Micke is sober. That there are no faint traces of cigarette ash on his sleeve, that his eyes aren't bloodshot, that he smells of sandalwood and tangerines instead of the sour odor of alcohol and sweat.
or:
After a short road trip, Wille and Simon settle down in Bjärstad. Wille is in the midst of meeting Simon's extended family when a certain someone shows up, uninvited.

Thanks to @grapehyasynth my entire feed has been covered in birds (I am NOT complaining) so I drew Wilmon as birds!
Yes I zoned out and forgot I was supposed to make them look like Wille and Simon, yes I tried to redeem it by adding the glow sticks and little heart on Wille’s wing. My entire Pinterest is just bird references now.
