   Summary

   The collar on his shirt is too tight. Wilhelm has to refrain himself from tugging at it once more. He doesn't want people to notice his discomfort. He knows everyone expects him to be uncomfortable, to be a mess, even.

   It's not every day one buries their ex-boyfriend.

   ----

   Wilhelm has a hard time dealing with grief, especially when he doesn't feel like he's allowed to mourn as much as he does, and especially when jealousy and fascination seep into his bones.
