Michael part 2: Befor leaving

On the night before Friday, Michael and his family were celebrating his brother's moving to Berlin. It's not like they were too happy about it. They just wanted to spend one last night together before him leaving.

Arthur, Angela, and Theodore are spilling alcoholic beverages, Michael only satisfies himself with a little bit of apple juice, and his little sister Greta is already asleep.

The entire dinner table was filled with the ungodly amount of potatoes, sausages, seafood, bread, and just so much more. And yet, despite this, by the end of the night, the entire table was clean.

"Oh my," said Theodore, "I don't what you tried to do hear mother, to feed me or to kill me with this amount of fat. 5 don't even complain because if I die, I wouldn't have to live and would stay here forever."

"Don't say such stupid things to your mum," Angela replied, " I want what the best for you and dying is not on the list there, young man!"

"I know, I know, I was just kidding, but now I really worring if I will even stand up now or even leave my bed."
"Where the spirit, there is a will, son. Know help get your little brother to his bed. It's already time for him to go to sleep after all." Arthur said calmly.

"No, I don't want to sleep, I am not tired, I  want to stay late tonight, please," Michael said while using his puppy eyes to convince his father.
"No, that's not negotiable. You are going to sleep whether you like it or not, got it?"

"Please convince him otherwise Theodore, I am grown enough to continue partying a few more hours," Michael said as he desperately sought his brothers approval on this subject.
"A few hours? You gota be kidding me, no you are going to sleep, trust me nothing interesting is going to happen here and when you will grow you will understand the importance of healthy sleep, ok?"

"Mom, please hear me ou...."
"No," his mother cuts him short before he can even finish the sentence," besidse you promised me to go to sleep on time."

"Aw, please, will someone just help to stay up at least tonight?" Michael said desperately.

"I don't know, ask your little sister," Arthur said jokingly.
"Ok," aster, which Michael rushed towards his little sister bedroom.

"WAIT, THAT WAS A JOKE THAT WAS A JOKE, do Germans really have no sense of humor," Arthur said while panicking and trying to catch Michael.

Meanwhile, Theodore and Angela are just laughing at the scene that unfolds in front  of them.
After a good five minutes of running and nearly waking up a three years old child, Arthur finally caught a little troublemaker.

"OK, now it is without question. You are going to sleep, young man. All this running has made me sober,"
"Father, let me go with you to put him to bed. Who knows, maybe he will try to run again."
"He is pretty and tired now, so he shouldn't be an issue now,"
"That was a joke, dad,"
"Oh,"
"Let's just go now,"

"OK, but I will start cleaning up here before it's too late."
"OK, mum,"

After finally getting to Michael's bedroom, Theodore gets a huge wave of coming back memories, his time spending in that room, running in the very same corridor, making his father mad for no real reason rather than it beign funny, bringing his first girlfriend, girlfriend.... and here is in his mind spark a question of "Did Michael ever have a girlfriend?", because he was never talking about any girl specifically or girls in general, I mean there was this one girl who he called a friend but they weren't even that close, and she probably was friends with him only because Michael was friends with that boy Artur whom Theodore remember because one:Michael was always talking about him and second:he shares his father's name.

While Theodore was thinking about the relationship status of his brother, his father was already getting him to bed despite all of the Michael protests.
No, I refuse, I will stretch and bite, are all the things and many more that Michael said, also he did scratched and bite his father, which made Michael really apologetic because he didn't actually wanted his father to be hurt.

"Ok, Michael, play time is over, just sleep," Arthur said while being completely tired from running after his son.
"WAIT," Theodore said,"One simple question to you, Michael, and I will allow you to stay up late tonight, but answer honestly, alright?"
"YES," Michael said excitedly
"Uhm, excuse me, but what in the actual name of our ever living lord and savior Jesus Christ? Did you just say?"

"Don't worry, dad. Here is the question: Do you have a girlfriend? Or what girls do you even like in your school?"

After saying this, Michael started shivering and blushing at the same time while his father was confused, angry, and curious at the same exact time.
"No, but seriously, what do you like about girls? Do you think that any of them are cute?"
"Theodor this is enough for today, just leave him be" his father said. And while he said that Michael have decided to answer:
"Well I don't think I like any of them, honestly I don't think that they are cute as you said"
"Aw come on there has to be someone who you think is beautiful"
"Well, there is this one boy I think that is beautiful"

And as he said that, his father and brother became completely sober, and the entire room became quite and air became as hard as during the smog.
"Really"
"You told me to be honest, so I am beign honest"

"I see, Theodore come outside with me foe a second"
Both Arthur and Theodore left the room, both man looking at each other, in total disbelief of what just happened.
There where many thoughts that were coming to each of their heads.

Arthur was thinking on how this could happened, could his son just be confused, but no all of this thoughts about him not understanding what he is filling where falls as Michael was speaking sincerely,  from the heart even.

Theodore was asking himself: what have I done, what is going to happen to his beloved brother.

One thing for certain is that both of them where wanting the best for him and where ready to protect him.

"What are we going to do?"
"Go downstairs, and tell your mom, but tell her not to tell anyone else, do you understand?"
"Yes, I comprehend."

Now after taking a deep breath, Arthur enters Michael's room.
"I probably should have lied about it right, I am not going to stay up late am I?"
"Son," Arthur was lost of words, he didn't know what to say, he struggled to make his son understand him and not bring him to tears. "First things first, I want to say that I, your mother, brother and little sister really love you, now I belive we both know what is the second part, right?"

"The fact that I am gay"
"Yes, exactly. You see, we don't want you to be isolated from society or be bullied in school but if you will tell anyone about it this will be bound to happen."
"I know, I don't know why I said it in the first place now." Michael said while beign on the verge of tears.
"No please look, we.... accept you, ok? If not your mother me and your brother most definitely accept you ok, it's just you will have to hide it, for now at least, then you can move to big cities, there is a lot more upcoming rights for your people-"
"But I don't want to move, I want to stay here"
"I know it's just complicated here, but we will figure something out, I promise."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So how did you found out about that?"
"Don't know, but now I wish I never had."
"No, wait, look, I am genuinely curious, you wanted to stay up all night right? I can stay here and you can tell me in details how you figured that out"
"Will you really listen?"
"We have all night, Prinze, now tell me who us that boy?"
