As it becomes clear that Jesper has a lot weighing on his mind, Wilhelm gives him the space to unload it all without interruption. He periodically flicks his eyes over to check on him, and hums sympathetically when it's called for. The irony of it doesn't escape him, both of them seeing in each other pieces of the boys they loved back home, only to come to the realization that it was just the holes in their hearts casting illusions. As time passed, he came to cherish all the things that make Jesper so different from Simon. It's good, that they've arrived in the same place.
Well, that's another thing that makes Jesper different, the fact that they're on the same page in their relationship, and they can stay there for more than ten minutes.
"Are you...okay with that?" he probes gently.
Selfishly, Wilhelm is relieved that Jesper isn't willing to trade his constellation of relationships to settle down with Wylan. This thing they've got has done wonders for quieting his loneliness, for brightening his confidence in who he is. It's very much a selfish thought, because he knows that...if he found the right person, and they found him right back, he would want to devote himself fully to them and them alone.
