Like That

“What happened last Friday…” Simon feels Wille tense beside him. “It was— I just—“

“Maybe we could do that again.” 

Wille has gone pink with his outburst. Simon watches the blush disappear into his collar. Swallowing, Simon nods, trying to bite down his smile.

— 

Later, they lie tangled in Wille’s bed; content, giddy and a little bashful.

“I wondered if you would shut me down,” Simon says, vulnerable in his happiness. “Say you weren’t like that.”

“Oh, I’m definitely like that.”

Simon giggles. “I can see.” He takes a breath. “But maybe we should try again. Just to be sure.”

Thanks, @youngroyals-events!

yr drabble challenge: a proposal

“You won’t believe what happened to me today.”  Simon gets into bed after a long day spent sunbathing on an Italian beach, and lies next to Wille, Simon’s head resting on his chest.  “What?” Wille asks, smirking, putting his arm behind Simon’s shoulder.  “The guy I’ve been dating for two years asked me to marry him. On a deserted beach. Under the moonlight.”  “Ah, shit,” Wille says, taking Simon’s hand in his and bringing it close to his mouth. “I wanted to ask you too.” He kisses the ring he has put on his fiancè’s finger a few hours earlier.

Maybe in another life

This idea hit me after posting the first one, so I guess we are doing two drabbles in one day! hopefully this makes up for that bit of angst?

@youngroyals-events

Wille falls headfirst on the couch, groaning loudly.

“Another successful date?”

Simon’s roommate just responds with another groan, this time muffled by a pillow, before rolling onto his back and grimacing. “I think I’m cursed to be forever single. Maybe I’ll find someone in another life.”

Simon takes a deep breath. “But you could be with me in this one.”

Simon’s about to brush it off as a joke when he sees Wille swallow before he, softly, hopefully, asks, “is that a serious offer?”

Simon nods, barely able to breathe, to speak, until suddenly, Wille surges forward, and kisses him.

💜 wilmon;

"Your shirt is on backwards."

Hi, thank you for the lovely prompt 💜💜 I’ve turned this into another drabble for @youngroyals-events drabble challenge week ☺️

*

“Your shirt is on backwards.”

“Oh,” Simon giggles, wriggling his arms into the sleeves to shift the graphic print round to the front.

He isn’t wearing anything but the t-shirt right now, and Wille uses the opportunity to gather him into his arms, hands sliding up to rub his back and down to squeeze his bare ass.

“Hey!” Simon giggles again, “I need to get dressed.”

“Do you, though?” Wille’s hands find his ass again and stay there. He brushes Simon’s nose with his, teasing the possibility of a kiss.

“Mmm. I suppose I could be a little bit late.”

So... I'm not sure how this happened, and I know drabble week is technically over... But I kept thinking of you, @gulliblelemon, last night, and of the many beautiful gems you've gifted to us over the past week (despite announcing initially that you were "not like that"!). Some of them keep living in my heart, they are canon now.

So since I've recently discovered that writing fanfic for others is fun (and frankly the only way I feel brave enough to post anything), I wrote you this little thank you note. It's an expansion of one of my favorite scenes.

Thank you for being the spectacular human you are, and for being a wonderful friend. 💜

"Thanks for inviting me. I—uh, I had a great time." Running a hand through his hair, Wille glanced down before meeting Simon's eyes with a shy smile.

"Me too." Simon nodded, rolling his lips to stop the idiotic grin from overtaking his face.

"Good night, Simon."

"Good night... Wille."

Simon stared after him, a fond giggle bubbling up in his chest as Wille stepped backwards, stumbling slightly before turning to walk up to Forest Ridge.

Someone snorted behind Simon.

Rolling his eyes, he climbed back onto Rosh’s scooter.

"Shut up."

Ayub raised his hands.

"We didn't even say anything!”

YR drabble challenge: summer

Wilhelm thinks Summer is Simon's season.

The sun loves you! he exclaims. Look at your skin, you glow, you never burn! Summer for Simon, winter for Wille, that's how it goes.

Simon knows better. The sun pinks Wilhelm’s skin but scatters freckles there like flowers, his hair brightens several shades, he looks strong and healthy. Barefoot, in linen, he smiles more broadly, laughs more readily. Is recognised less often.

The sun makes Wille blossom, thinks Simon. It's been like that since their first morning in Wille's room. Joy unfurling where they touch, bathed in golden light.

Summer? It’s their season.

Fish

The fish were swimming without a care in the world when their human, Simon, came back with someone in tow. They all asked each other if they knew the other human, but none of them did.

Simon looked happy when the new human was near him. He was smiling and blushing a lot. The fish were quite surprised when he asked their names, and Simon replied. They all looked into each other, gaping like humans.

“Wait, did you know about this?” Oski asked.

“That we had names? No idea,” Olle shrugged.

“And now they are naked. Look away,” Felle exclaimed.

Young Royals Drabble Challenge Week 2024

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first ever Young Royals drabble challenge!

The challenge will take place between September 2-9 and the rules are pretty simple:

Pick a prompt (we are providing suggestions, but you don't actually need to use any of them).

Write a drabble - but attention! A drabble is a 100-word short fic. Exactly 100 words. The term has been popularized in fandom to mean any very short fic, but for this event, your drabble must have exactly 100 words - not 99, not 101, one hundred. Yes, we know that's hard. That's the challenge. 😉

Post it, tagging us — @youngroyals-events — in the body of the post and using the tag #YRDC2024.

Now, here are some additional guidelines and suggestions:

You can post the whole drabble here, or post it to AO3 and post the link on Tumblr.

You can post on any day of the designated week, and as many drabbles as you want.

You can post drabble by drabble, or more than one drabble at once. The same goes for posting each drabble as a chapter of a fic on AO3. However, we don't suggest doing either of these things, since tagging ends up confusing and makes it difficult for people to find or avoid your fics. Our suggestion, therefore, is to make a masterpost with links to all the drabbles you post here on Tumblr, and/or to create a series on AO3 for grouping your drabbles.

Explicit drabbles are allowed, but if you post the drabbles in their entirety here, please use the tag #NSFW as well - we'll be using the same one in these cases. You can also include additional tags and/or a warning at the top of the post. On AO3, the tags are at your discretion.

Yes, there is an AO3 community, here: Young Royals Drabble Challenge 2024

Yes, ALL characters are allowed - this is not a Wilmon-focused event, though of course they're always welcome. 😊

If you are looking for inspiration, you can choose one or more prompts from our one-word prompts list.

You can also choose one or more prompts from our dialogue prompts list.

Don't feel like deciding? Let the spinning wheel make the choice for you. Here for the one-word prompts and here for the dialogue prompts.

You can also reblog either or both of the lists and ask your followers to send you requests (including not from the lists). 😉

Alright, that's all for now. If you've got any questions, please comment or reblog on this post (that's easier for us to reply to at the moment).

Let's get writing!
