This Silly Thing We Refuse To Call Love
This Disgusting Little Thing
Paris and Wilhelm has been friends since middle school.
Now, they are in third year of high school and will soon graduate.
Paris
Willy, how many times do I have to remind you to not throw your dirty clothes on the floor?
Paris
When I come here, it's always dirty.
Wilhelm
I'm so tired. Just pick it up. Why do you have to nag and nag?
Paris
*picks up a pillow on the floor and throws it to Wilhelm*
Paris
I swear to god. I'm not gonna come back here again if you don't start listening to me.
Wilhelm
Don't say that. How am I gonna live if you don't come?
They've long been friends.
But Paris has developed a different type of affection towards Wilhelm.
Paris
How is the soccer practice coming along?
Wilhelm
It hasn't been great.
Wilhelm
I might just leave the team and join the swimming club at this point.
Paris started sweeping the floor as soon as he finished picking up the clothes.
While Wilhelm is still lying on his bed, unconcerned.
Wilhelm
The team captain and I have a misunderstanding. He thinks I stole his girlfriend.
Paris
Who's the girl? Rebecca?
Wilhelm
No. It's another girl.
Wilhelm
I didn't even look at the girl.
Wilhelm
But I'm sure she's ugly.
Wilhelm
But the captain thinks I seduced her or something.
Paris
What handsome guy you are.*smug*
Wilhelm
You think I'm handsome?
Of course, Paris thinks Wilhelm is handsome. Why else would he be attracted to him?
But this guy is homophobic.
He has no idea that Paris, his best friend, is gay.
And that Paris likes him.
Wilhelm
I even think you're handsome.
It should be a sin to be oblivious about the feelings of someone towards you.
And unaware that even the simplest words and gestures that probably mean nothing to you means a lot to them.
Paris' heart ached so he quickened his pace.
Wilhelm
I'm not that bad, right?
Wilhelm
Well, you don't think I'm handsome.
Wilhelm
I don't look bad, right?
Paris
(Girls flock around him but he doesn't know he's handsome?)
Paris
(My validation matters to him so much?)
Paris' stomach is full of butterflies.
There is no way it means the way he thinks.
He remembers the words of Wilhelm when they were only in first year.
During the valentines day that year, they saw two men confessing their love to one another.
Wilhelm's face was full of disgust when he saw that scene.
Wilhelm
They're disgusting.
Wilhelm
Men are only for women. Don't they feel shame?
Paris at that time already had feelings for Wilhelm.
Those words broke his heart and shattered his hopes.
He decided to keep his feelings a secret.
Paris
Of course, my Little Willy is handsome.
Paris
Why, my wittle willy?
