It was summer time, Emil was enjoying life in Copenhagen Denmark. He had lived there since 4th grade when his family had moved from Iceland. He went to a fairly good school, he had the best grades in his year, He had nice friends and was rarely bullied but what he loved most of all was his boyfriend, Mathias. They had been dating for a year and a half. They went to every dance together, always spent time together outside of school, and were almost inseparable. Pretty much all Emil could think about his life now was that it was perfect.

That is until...

"Wait, We're moving?!"

"Yes, your father's job will relocate us back to Reykjavik."

Emil couldn't believe his ears. He felt as though his mind was spiraling out of control.

"B-but we can't move! What about everything we've worked for here?! We can't just give it up! Please! Can't Dad ask to stay here?!"

"I'm sorry sweetie, it's not that simple..."

"Neither is uprooting our life completely!"

Emil was close to tears. This couldn't happen, Not now. Next year would be his senior year of high school! He had friends, He was popular, He was in a relationship! He couldn't just give that up!'

"But what about me?! I have friends here! I'm popular! I HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"

"Emil, honey... I know this is hard for you, It's hard for us too. But you'll make new friends won't you? You have Lukas, isn't he your friend?"

"But, he's my brother that's different!"

"Emil... You'll be fine! Everything here can be just as good there, if not, better!"

"But I like my friends here, I like my school here, I like it here!"

"Emil..."

"I have people I don't wanna lose..."

"You won't lose them! You can still talk to them over the phone, or the internet! And we can visit them in the summer!"

"B-but... It's just not the same okay?!" Emil looked at his mother desperately. Hot tears rolled down his pale cheeks.

"Oh Emil..." His mother wrapped her arms around him in a warm embrace and wiped a tear from his eye only for another to fall in it's place.

"Why do we have to move now? Why?"

"Honey... I like it here too and in my opinion I don't want to leave but we have too... I'm sorry..."

Emil dried his eyes. "Alright but how long do we have left?"

"Your father says we have til the end of August before we have to be there. You have all summer to say goodbye."

"Okay..."

'It's only June... School got out a week ago... But 2 months isn't too long so I just have to make memories while there's still time!'

"Emil sweetie, where are you going?!"

Emil was already halfway out the door when he turned to look at his mother.

"To go make the most of the summer!"

Emil ran down the street to Mathias' house. He had to tell somebody and felt his boyfriend should be first to know. He stopped running abruptly.

'Wait how will I break it to him?! We've known each other so long... He's the first person I've ever loved... I don't want to just lose him and I don't want to see him sad...'

Emil's thought scattered when he nearly bumped into Mathias' door. Which opened fairly quickly to reveal said person smiling widely.

"Hey Emil! I was wondering when you'd show up today!" Mathias' smile faltered when he saw Emil looking somewhat upset.

"Whoa Emil... Are you OK?"

"That's why I came... Sit down..."

Mathias looked worried but obeyed his boyfriend taking seat with him on the living room couch.

Emil sighed. "I'm moving back to Reykjavik at the end of August..."

Mathias was shocked. "But what about us... Can't you stay?!"

"I already asked... We can't... But I'll still keep in touch... I'll call every day and Skype every night that I'm there and I can still see you in the summer..."

Mathias looked down, upset. "I know but it's not the same as holding you close or kissing you..."

Emil felt a tear slide down his cheek. "I know nothing can make up for the way the sunshine h-hits your face or how you hold me... At least we have the summer..."

Mathias was crying now too. "I love you... Please don't let distance change that..."

Emil sniffled. "I won't..." Emil hugged Mathias tightly. Feeling his tears against his neck.

"I'll wait for you... As long as it takes... I will wait..."

"I will too..."

Mathias brought Emil's face close and they shared a tearful kiss.

'I'll wait forever...'
