Bluegreen118 for bram

He runs a very thematically coherent soft gay aesthetic blog

Hourtohour-notetonote for simon

Simon’s blog is just a mess of whatever he happens to see and like enough to reblog

For both of them, tumblr is the only place where they can be open about gay

They keep their accounts completely secret from anyone they know irl

They’ve been following each other for a while now, but they’ve never talked

Simon followed bram bc gay!!! He can do that now!!! Gotta find whatever rep u can amirite

Bram followed him back bc he saw the notification for a new follower and he was curious and checked out his blog and thought he seemed cool

Bram reblogs or posts something about how being closeted sucks but stay strong or whatever

Simon sees it and sends him an anonymous ask thanking him for it

They end up talking over anon and then bram asks for him to message him privately and reveal who he is

Simon freaks out (ofc) and then does

So then they pm for a bit and become friends

Now while this is happening, simon’s been getting more and more gay for bram in real life

They’re talking abt being gay on tumblr and bram asks him if there’s any cute guys he has his eye on

Simon’s like “... well…… i guess so, yeah.”

Bram: oh no he likes someone other than me “oh?? Tell me about him”

Simon: “well he’s really cute and he plays soccer and he’s been sitting with me at lunch since freshman year but i only recently started noticing how cute he is and oof wow gay”

Bram: *fuck he’s in love!!!!* “that’s really cute i hope he goes out with you”

Simon: “well i’m pretty sure he’s straight and also i live in georgia, where if i came out i would die”

Bram: “WAIT WHAT i live in georgia!!! Where in georgia do you live?”

And they go from there

They find out they live in the same town but that doesn’t mean that they got to the same school or anything

They agree to stay anonymous and not meet up bc neither of them are ready to take that step

Throughout this remember that they are pining for each other in real life

Eventually they’re both ready to meet up

Simon’s like okay, i’ll be at dancing goats and i’ll be the one with the elliott smith t-shirt and this certain book

Bram goes and sees simon in the window and he’s like oh shit oh fuck it’s simon i’m in love with him what do i do

He panics and goes home

(and calls garrett and cries to him about it bc lbr he knows everything thats going on)

Simon texts him later like uhhhh…. Did u stand me up??

Bram’s like uh yeah i’m really sorry family stuff happened and my phone was dead so i couldn’t text u

(he hates lying to him like this but he doesn’t know what to do. What about the boy simon likes? What will he do when he realizes that blue is bram?)

So they’re okay but bram is internally freaking out every time they text bc he’s texting simon spier!!! The love of his life!!! Who is gay!!!!!!!! ….but is into some other guy

they see each other at school the next day and bram is a Mess

every time he sees simon, he blushes, and at lunch leah asks about how his date went, sending bram into Gay Panic Mode(tm)

simon gets said and tells them that he got stood up

leah and abby and nick are ready to cut a bitch

bram is like “oh that sucks, bro” while internally freaking out the whole time bc!!!! he’s the one that stood him up!!!

but simon is like “no it’s fine they had some family stuff to attend to, we’ll probably try meeting up again”

abby’s like “wow ur really smitten with them, aren’t you”

i feel like it is important to note that at this point abby is the only one simon is out to, like in the movie, and garrett is the only one bram is out to, hence the gender neutral pronouns

simon, wearing a soft smile, staring dreamily into middle distance: “yeah”

later, simon messages bram about maybe meeting up again

bram, having talked it over with garrett already, agrees and suggests meeting in a park the next weekend

“and don’t worry, i’ll be there first this time.”

bram goes through the next week in a fog, just waiting for the day to reveal himself to simon

school is torture when they’ve all but confessed their love to each other and they’re basically guaranteed to end up boyfriends

eventually, the day rolls around and bram brings a rose and his ravenclaw hoodie

simon walks into the park and sees bram sitting on a bench

simon: “... it’s you.”

bram nods with a soft smile. “it’s me.”

then they’re happy and gay

they come out to their friends monday at school

they’re not quite ready to be out to all of shady creek, but they’d at least like to not hide their relationship around their friends

and they’re happy!!! bc That’s What My Boys Deserve
