Simon was like âI lost my passion for the one thing I enjoyed doing the most and idk who I am anymoreâ and Wille said âok but what if we fuck it out would that help?â
Sandwich shop AU where Simon works in a tiny sandwich shop. One day near the end of his shift the door bursts open and none other than the Crown Prince is herded in by two guys in black suits. They steer him towards the back where they wait a while. Eventually, the Prince steps up to the counter.
âWhat can I get you?â Simon asks. The other guy just stares and Simon supposes he doesnât know how these mundane establishments work. So he rattles off the menu and ends with âWe can make most of that gluten- and dairy-free or vegan. It would just take a while since weâre all out and Iâd have to make those fresh.â Yes, because itâs the end of the day and of his fucking shift and he needs to leave since he has a house warming party to attend.
Naturally, the Prince orders vegan, gluten- and dairy-free. Simon manages to remain civil. Heâs a bit generous with the interpretation of their price table and technically charges a bit more than he would if he hadnât been pissed at getting off late.
To Simonâs surprise the Prince keeps coming back. Always late, mostly on the same day, every time with a special order that keeps Simon busy for five minutes. Even when he tries to beat Wilhelm at this ridiculous game and prepares the sandwich heâs ordered the last few times in advance, for some reason the Prince can unfortunately absolutely not deal with cucumbers on that day.
After a few months Simon runs into Wilhelm outside the shop when he arrives for the evening shift, having offered to fill in for a colleague. âWhere you waiting for me?â he teases.
Wilhelm blushes. âMaybe.â
âYou know, my colleagues know how to make your special sandwich, too.â
âI like the way you make it.â
Simon laughs and thereâs a tingle in his stomach. âIt must suck, having all these special dietary requirements.â
Wilhelm lowers his gaze and his ears turn suspiciously red. âUhm, that. Yeah. I â uhm â how do I say this without sounding like a creep?â
Simon waits. And then Wille admits that he does in fact not have any food allergies or sensitivities whatsoever and isnât even vegan but talking to Simon has been the highlight of his weeks and months, so he kept coming back. He does sound a bit like a creep.
âIâm sorryâ, he says, grimacing.
Simon canât tell him how weirdly warm his confession makes him feel.
âWell, we made a pretty good profit off you. Not a lot of people order our gluten-free bread.â
The Prince lets out an unprincely snort. âYeah, itâs pretty awful.â
âIt is?â Simon has never needed to try it.
Wilhelm grins and Simonâs heart flutters. âUneatable Iâm afraid.â
Simon laughs in disbelief. âYou know, you could have just asked me out instead of buying uneatable sandwiches.â
âWould you have said yes?â Wille studies him.
Probably not. He isnât insane.
âWould you... say yes now?â Wille asks.
Slowly, Simon smiles.
