Ok, I don’t sure if it is more Wylan or Kaz song
Welcome to my ted talk and today I am going to talk about how perfect Waterloo is for Wesper, and...

Wylan’s never been heard by someone since his mother was gone.
“I don’t want to be disturbed by any noise”, always reminded his father. “So be quiet, unless you are here to read me something”.
Personnel wasn’t allowed to talk with him, tutors were paid not for listening, Alys mainly was speaking with herself even when she was speaking to someone, all his answers to father’s questions were of no importance because all of them were wrong.
Sometimes it felt like his voice’s beginning to slowly atrophy and it would last until all the things Wylan would be able to say would be only “yes”, “no”, “father” and “sir” in different combinations.
Rarely he was brave enough to talk back only to see some reaction from his father. It never ended well, but sometimes it looked almost like Wylan’s words could scratch his father a bit in exchange for deep scars he left on Wylan.
No one could hear him screaming, crying, and begging.
For years no one had been listening to him and no one heard a splash of water with which he should disappear.
The Barrel was a cacophony of the sounds, clatter, rumbling of dissonant intervals, symphony played by a drunken orchestra on the detuned instruments. Even if Wylan screamed, his voice would dissolve in all this noise.
No one cared enough to listen in the Barrel, and Wylan was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.
Not a surprise, Jesper Fahey didn’t remember him.
Jesper Fahey was loud and notable, and even if people didn’t want to listen to him, there was no way to not hear Jesper Fahey. He was like an endless melody played on everything and everyone Jesper touched, even on Wylan himself, a symphony made from gunfire and chime of bijouterie, from laughing and the way other people said his name (never carelessly), from his soothing voice and fingers tapping. Jesper Fahey made him wanting to compose something from all the sounds and made him jealous at the same time.
Wylan thought about what if he was like Jesper. Voice couldn’t be hidden by the closed doors, kicked under the table, voice people couldn’t forget as it never existed.
Jesper Fahey was everything Wylan wasn’t and everything his father would hate from the first sight.Jesper Fahey spoke too much, and Wylan prepared himself to get lost in all that sounds.
It wasn’t a thing that happen.
“You were right”, said Jesper.
“I want to stay with you in front of all the Daturma Ox things to come”, said Jesper.
And all these sounded like “I was listening” and “I will listen”, like “I heard you”, like… It was almost like between the sounds of flute, explosions, splashes of water, and piano music in Appelbroek there was Wylan’s own voice. Voice that Jesper was careful enough to stop and listen.
Wylan Van Eck when Kaz hired him to make phosphorus bombs strong enough to fight with Darkling: no, I’ve never done this, but I am 🌈gay🌈, so how hard could it be… who need skills if you have ✨gay✨
“I think”, said Wylan right after a kiss, “it is completely ineffective”.
“Are you sure?”, smiled Jesper in his lips, “Looks like we just had a very good exercise for tongue. Kind of a tongue twister”.
“Jes”, Wylan rolled his eyes, and Jesper would even believe that he was not happy if his smart fingers wasn’t unbuttoning Jesper’s shirt. “I was trying to learn here”.
“And we are learning some things together”, Jesper smiled putting his lips on Wylan’s neck.
“And all of them connected to zemini only because they involve one zemini man”, last words of the phrase sounded almost like Wylan was moaning them, and Jesper laughed in his neck.
Very sensitive neck on which Jesper left few hickeys at their previous lesson.
“I don’t understand why are you so dissatisfied. For a person who started to learn zemini like two months ago you have pretty big vocabulary”.
“And it all consist of things like “more”, “don’t stop”, “kiss me”, “keep going”, pet names, and all thоse things that are very inappropriate to say in public”, said Wylan, blushing.
Jesper laughed, and Wylan pocked him in the stomach.
“You are sabotaging my learning process”, said Wylan very seriously but his eyes was soft, and laughing, and full of love, and perfectly blue, and Jesper was down so bad, wasn’t he?
Jesper could admit that Wylan was right - he was a fast learner, and he remembered every zemini word Jesper taught him, it wasn’t Wylan’s fault that every their lesson in this two months ended up the same way. Or, thought Jesper, when Wylan kissed him again, it at least wasn’t fully Wylan’s fault.
“Maybe”, admitted Jesper, “you really need another tutor. More engaged in the learning process and not engaged to you”.
He maybe would say something else, like “I am sorry, I just cannot keep my hands off my fiancé” or “I will not be disappointed if your wedding vow is going to be in kerch” (even if Wylan’s idea to do it in zemini at their wedding did something with Jesper’s stupid loving heart) or “maybe all the things I taught you not very suitable for your vow, but for our wedding night….”, but Wylan softly whispered in his ear “I love you, sweetheart” in zemini, and Jesper decided that he could say all these things a little bit later.
I really don’t feel like we as humanity talking enough about this Jesper’s smile after “yes, expert!”
Jesper: *talking shit about the merchers’ high society of Ketterdam and their questionable fashion choices in a random social event*
Wylan: Jesper, we are here not for gossiping *sipping wine* Did you see Boreg? The suit he is wearing is a crime worse than any crime Kaz has ever commited. The worst suit I've seen in my life so far, and I am living in the very same house with that purple monster you’ve bought last summer
Jesper: Yes, I know, right! Boreg is hilarious. How a person with money can even... Wait, what did you say about my purple suit?! You said you like it!
Wylan: Actually, I said that I’d like to take that suit off you... like in not seeing it on you anymore
Jesper with the most overdramatic facial expression: Wylan, I am deeply offended!
Jesper in two seconds: But you know who wears even worse outfit than Boreg? Just have a look at Schenck's wife!
Ok, it is around 1000 words of wesper carrying for each other (ft. Jesper being almost sensory overloaded, Wylan’s insecure thoughts and cold weather in Ketterdam)
Few months ago Wylan wouldn’t have believed if someone had told him that he will feel himself safe in the Crow Club. Few months ago he also wouldn’t have come to the Crow Club in a first place.
He was thinking that it's a dangerous place. He still was thinking that it's a dangerous place but somehow presence of Jesper in the club even with them being at the different sides of the room made Wylan felt himself safer than if he was upstairs in their room alone.
Sometimes things Wylan says to him are hilariously Kerch.
"Expensive", said Wylan when Jesper’s trying his new outfit. Jesper smiled and said “Oh, no, it is actually was cheap…”, and Wylan turned red. “I… I didn’t talk about price, Jes, I meant that you are expensive”.
"Treasure", mumbled Wylan falling asleep after sex.
"Golden", breathed Wylan in Jesper's lips before kiss.
"Valuable", softly said Wylan when Jesper’s hugging him.
"You are worth to be kept", whispered Wylan in Jesper's hair while holding him after breakdown.
"Precious treasure", said Wylan softly. "Dear. Priceless. Invaluable gift of Gezen".
Jesper heard all that before - Wylan isn’t the first Kerch person in his bed. It had never been something important to him. All these Kerch words he heard, but somehow, when it is Wylan, it all has sense, it all has meaning, and it makes Jesper’s heart trembling, makes his cheeks burning.
“I love you so much, sunshine”, said Jesper kissing Wylan in his forehead after Wylan called him “Precious” again.
Wylan ducked his head hiding his face into Jesper’s neck.
“Me too”, breathed out Wylan so quietly that Jesper barely heard it.
His hand in the Wylan’s curls, Wylan’s breath tickling his neck, and Jesper’s mind’s just quiet for a second. Like there’s no any other place where Jesper could be.
Ok, I’ve finally made Jesper|Wylan|Wesper playlists
“Wylan's first thought was that this boy had the most perfectly shaped lips he'd ever seen”
Wylan Van Eck when he saw Jesper for the first time:
