Throughout the rest of the week, Michael spent as much time with Fritz as he could, trying to figure out if he really was gay for him. Every waking moment was spent analyzing any sort of feelings he might have toward the other that aren't just friendship. As expected, everything he felt for Fritz was terribly and wonderfully romantic in every way. He'd hoped it hadn't just been some weird sexual desire for him, because that might've ended up ruining their friendship, and not in the way he wanted.
When friday arrived, Fritz seemed a bit more irritable than usual for some reason and Michael really hoped it wasn't because of him. He doesn't know what he might've done, but apparently it was justified by staring intensely at Michael for the whole walk to Fritz's house.
"Hey uh why have you been glaring at me? Did I do something wrong?" he asks when they arrive in Fritz's room. Fritz then slowly walks over to where Michael is standing by his bed until the latter has to sit down as Fritz straddles him. "You've been all weird and clingy but also kinda distant the whole week and you have the nerve to ask why I've been staring at you?" the blonde says looking angrily into the depths of Michael's eyes. "You follow me around constantly but when we're in the same room, you space out and pretend I'm not even there. Do you know how much it sucks to be ignored by your only friend?"
A singular tear rolls down Fritz's cheek as the boy he's currently sitting on tries to hug and comfort him. "Hey, dude, I'm really sorry I made you feel like that, I've just been thinking about... stuff. It's nothing to worry about though, I promise. I really didn't mean to ignore you." he says.
All of Fritz's anger melts away as he pulls back from the embrace ever so slightly, just enough to be looking directly into Michael's eyes. They stare at each other in silence before Fritz quietly asks "So... what have you been thinking about?" Michael blushes and hesitates but ultimately decides to just tell the truth. "Mostly you. And how I feel about you. It's just that everything about you is so distracting and I think I might..." his mouth goes dry as he trails off and leans in.
Michael never finishes his sentence as he is now mere centimetres away from Fritz, breathing in each other's intoxicating scent. The air around them is hot and heavy as they brush lips, eagerly awaiting what follows. But before they can properly kiss, a loud thump startles them and they crawl away from each other in embarrassment. Lina, Fritz's little sister, stands in the doorway with a look of shock and delight on her face. She runs away, leaving her discarded doll abandoned on the floor, yelling "MA! DA! YOU OWE ME 20 REICHSMARK! FRITZ IS MAKING OUT WITH MICHAEL!"
The boys stare at the floor, blushing furiously. "I-I should go... I might die of embarrassment if I stay any longer." Michael says as he walks stiffly out of Fritz's room. I hope that meant something to him... they wish secretly when the door closes with a quiet thud behind the brunette.
