Jesper wakes up the next day in bed with Wylan. Yesterday was fantastic. They spent the whole afternoon and night kissing. He didn't think he could kiss someone this much and have it be enough. Ok, there were some handjobs at some point, but mostly they kissed. Kissed until their lips were red and swollen, kissed until they were breathless.
He wants this to be the new normal. Wants to wake up in the mornings next to the princeling, eat together, talk, and go to sleep at night with him. He closes his eyes and for the first time in his life, appreciates the silence and quiet.
He's almost falling asleep again when he feels Wylan start to stir. A smile breaks into his face as he feels the boy pull closer to him, burying his nose in Jesper's hair.

"No it's not- it's not that talk." He says.
Jesper hums. He can't make himself say anything else, he feels more vulnerable than when he went to ask Kaz for help after he lost his father's money. Wylan knows how he feels about him - and he's not stupid, he knows the boy feels the same way about Jesper - but he's still the Prince, the future King even, things couldn't be more complicated. The only way Jesper wouldn't give their relationship a try would be if Wylan didn't want to. He doesn't think there's anything he can say right now to make things better or worse. It's the Prince's choice.
Wylan is back gnawing at his finger and Jesper feels the need to hold his hand to stop him, instead, he takes his phone from the bedside table and looks at the time. It's only 6 am.
Wylan heaves a breath and starts. "Yesterday- yesterday was fun." Jesper's stomach clenches at that. He feels like swearing again. "But I need to talk to you about it." Wylan stops like he's waiting for Jesper to say something, but Jesper's throat feels closed up, so the boy continues. "I don't think I can do it. I'm sorry, I should have told you before we did anything." Jesper feels himself nod. "I'm not saying it's forever, but at least for

"No problem." Wylan holds Jesper's hand and brings it closer to his own chest, a playful smile on his face, before he gets serious again. "I don't know how long this is going to take. Maybe tomorrow I'm going to be okay, maybe today I'll want to suck you off." He arches one eyebrow and Jesper resists the urge to bite his own lip. "I just know we will need to talk about it for a while before we can..." He waves his hand around and then blushes, making Jesper chuckle.
"Can I kiss you now?" He asks. He's not sure where they're standing on kisses.
Instead of answering Wylan kisses him and it's as amazing as he remembers from yesterday. He gets lost in it for a while and he doesn't even notice he closed his eyes before Wylan is pulling back and he has to open then again.
"Alright, so..." Wylan stops, looking nervous.
"So?" Jesper says lazily, pulling Wylan closer to him and loving the way their bodies fit together.
Wylan bites his lip. "We should go to the Slack today, make sure everything is resolved."
Jesper groans and rests his face against Wylan's shoulder. He has a feeling this wasn't what the princeling wanted to say, but for him, they can take all the time in the world. For once, he's not in a
As depicted by Scott F. Fitzgerald, the 1920s is an era of a great downfall both socially and morally. As the rich get richer, the poor remain to fend for themselves, with no help of any kind coming their way. Throughout Fitzgerald’s, The Great Gatsby, the two “breeds” of wealthier folk consistently butt heads in an ongoing battle of varying lifestyles. The West Eggers, best represented by Jay Gatsby, are the newly rich, with little to no sense of class or taste. Their polar opposites, the East Eggers, are signified by Tom and Daisy Buchanan; these people have inherited their riches from the country’s wealthiest old families and treat their money with dignity and social grace. Money, a mere object in the hands of the newly wealthy, is unconscientiously squandered by Gatsby in an effort to bring his only source of happiness, Daisy, into his life once again. Over the course of his countless wild parties, he dissipates thousands upon thousands of dollars in unsuccessful attempts to attract Daisy’s attention. For Gatsby, the only way he could capture this happiness is to achieve his personal “American Dream” and end up with Daisy in his arms. Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy is somewhat detrimental to himself and the ones around him; his actions destroy relationships and ultimately get two people killed.
While there are numerous themes throughout the text of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, the most prominent is that of the American Dream. The American Dream is the idea that any person, no matter what he or she is, or from where he or she has come, can become successful in life by his or her hard work; it is the idea that a self-sufficient person, an entrepreneur, can be a success. In this novel, however, it is the quest for this ‘dream’ (along with the pursuit of a romantic dream) that causes the ultimate downfall of Jay Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald was being set in New York in 1922. . It was in Long Island where the rich and wealthy people lived and that was split into West and East Egg. The wealthy people lived in East Egg. There are seven characters that make up The Great Gatsby is.

The story The Great Gatsby written by F. Scott Fitzgerald takes you through the life of the protagonist of the novel, Jay Gatsby, who is shot to death in the end. Who was really the reason for Gatsby’s death? There are many of reasons that lead up to Gatsby’s death and several people who are considered to have caused it. Although George Wilson physically killed him, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby himself all take part in the death. Tom’s anger, Daisy’s carelessness, and Gatsby’s idea of the American Dream all contribute to his death in the end.
“Gatsby turned out alright in the end.” Yes, because someone who ends up murdered in their own swimming pool, shot by a lackluster man, taking the blame for a crime he never committed for someone who quickly turned her back on him, is defined as “alright.” I never understood why Gatsby was the one to die. I thought he was the hero of the novel. Fitzgerald was a romantic; he was the American Dreamer. The novel was the epitome of the American Dream. The hero never fails; the underdog always wins. Isn’t that what we have always been taught? How could such a great man die? And why was Gatsby the only one pointed out as “alright?” I mean after all, most of the characters’ lives remained unchanged. Daisy and Tom resumed their marriage. Nick returned to the Midwest. Jordan continued her career. Gatsby was one of the only people who portrayed the repercussions of the events. How could someone that readers are supposed to root for die tragically, and on a false claim, nonetheless? Why did Fitzgerald murder Gatsby? But, after some research I realized Fitzgerald NEEDED Gatsby to die.
Grace looks a bit awkward leaning in to kiss him, but she looks determined to do what's asked of her and she gently kisses Nate on the lips. When they part, his eyes linger on her for a moment, then he looks back down at his script.
The Great Gatsby is the story of one man's journey of trying to achieve what is commonly referred to as the American Dream. Fitzgerald successfully makes the reader become attached to Gatsby by giving the reader some elements of Gatsby’s back story to latch on to. He achieves this by using Gatsby’s love stroking heart to to capture the imagination of the hopeless romantic, and he then uses Gatsby’s deep seeded ambition of becoming better to capture the ambitious reader. Throughout the story Fitzgerald makes Gatsby out to be the hero, and he accomplishes this by having Gatsby’s goals in life become relatable to the common reader, because everyone wants to be able to change their lives around, everyone wants to someday fall so madly in love with someone else that they would follow that person to the ends of the earth, regardless of the obstacles, and Gatsby is the perfect embodiment of these hopes and dreams. What strikes a deeper chord is that the reader can tell that Fitzgerald truly loved his creation and this can be seen by the way he describes him. Sadly, like many other great writers do, Fitzgerald realised that this life like world that he has created, would need to have malevolent forces that are always conspiring against the main character in this case being Gatsby behind the scenes. Fitzgerald does this by embedding these forces into the society that surrounded Gatsby.
The Great Gatsby tells a story of eight people during the summer of 1922 from the observation of Nick Carraway. It's a story about trying to achieve the unattainable, deceit, and tragedy. It takes place around the character Jay Gatz who becomes Jay Gatsby in an attempt to change his persona and attract his long lost love, Daisy. In Nick's telling of the story, Nick and everyone who knew Gatsby, thought he was great. Gatsby threw lavish parties at his beautiful mansion every weekend. He had money, even though no one really seemed to know how he made his money. Gatsby spends years of his life trying to win the heart back of Daisy Buchanan. When they met years ago, he was in the Army and didn't have much money. Daisy came from a wealthy family and she couldn't marry a poor man. This is what drives Jay Gatz to become Jay Gatsby and impress the girl to get her back.
Sitting there quietly entertain my view . I could feel Nick Carraway staring right thru my soul. Trying to think in my head do he find me appealing or unattractive. Then he suddenly notices me looking back so I had to say some . Do you live in West Egg? I think I know somewhere there? He responded, “You must know Gatsby” . Gatsby who? I thought never heard the name but sounded a little familiar. Before he could reply we were interrupted by the dinner announcement. We then remove ourselves from the room and went on to the lovely rose-colored porch that I thought was always was the best porch I was seen . I constantly told Daisy this every time. The candles on the tables suddenly went out I guess daisy didn’t like the romantic feeling. “I always
Multiple people dead for multiple reasons with only some of the murderers held accountable, while the others are still free, is that really a good ending? In the book The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald creates moments of closure at the end of the book for some of the characters, like Nick moving away to the Midwest again, Tom and Daisy still happily married, but also a sense of unfinished endings for Gatsby because he dies, as well as Myrtle’s death because there was never true justice served. The book has an appropriate ending for some of the characters, as well as on the opposite side of the spectrum, the ending has inappropriate endings for others. The Great Gatsby had a good, appropriate ending for characters like Nick and Tom because they could escape the situation a lot easier since they weren’t quite as involved
In this story by F. Scott Fitzgerland the characters are Jay, Nick, Daisy Buchanan, Myrtle Wilson, George Wilson, Catherine, Henry C. Gatz, Dan Cody, Ewing Kilpspringer,
