"Morning came and went while Micha still slept. He wasn’t a morning person and when he didn’t have to work he preferred to sleep in. Micha continued to sleep not caring about waking up. He didn’t care about the rain or the thunder as it continued to pound outside on his window. Micha was used to the rain since it rained a lot back home in Germany. He liked the rain so it didn’t bother him. Micha slept right through it well into the morning. He did however wake to the sound of his phone going off. Micha groaned at the noise as it woke him from his slumber. He rolled over in the bed as he reached for it grabbed it from his night stand. Micha looked at his phone as he pulled up the text realizing it was Samuel though then again it would only be Samuel who would call him so early in the morning. He shifted as he got comfortable as he lay back down. I am now. What do you want? Micha sent back to Samuel now that he was awake. He pushed back the blankets as he got out of bed. Micha grabbed his phone as he left his room and made his way downstairs to make himself some coffee to help wake himself up. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

He didn't expect the male to text him back so soon. After all it was still pretty early, even for him who was usually a night owl and could sleep til noon. Taking his phone with him as he went back downstairs to collect the morning paper, it soon buzzed in his pocket. He read the males words, wondering if he was mad at him. He grabbed the paper off the front porch and padded his way into the kitchen for a cup of coffee. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." he replied, hitting send. He leaned against the counter and sipped his coffee, trying to think of an intelligent, non-corny way of just why exactly he had text the male. Even he couldn't think of a good reason that didn't sound absurd. With nothing else better to type, he set his mug aside and picked up his phone. "Are you okay? You seemed kinda weird when you left yesterday. Like you had something to say." hitting send before he gave himself the chance to erase everything, he shoved his phone back into his pocket and moved around to take a seat at the counter. He pulled his paper out of the wet plastic bag and scanned through the first couple of pages while patiently waiting to see if the male would text back.

"As Micha walked into his kitchen, he turned the light on. He squinted a little at the brightness as he walked toward the counter. Micha pulled open the top on the coffee maker. He pulled out the old coffee pack and threw it in the trash. Micha grabbed down as box as he looked through the different types of coffee he had. He felt his phone go off in his pocket. Micha pulled it out as he looked at the text. He smiled a little, It’s fine. Needed to get up anyways. Micha texted back then set his phone on the counter. He didn’t mind being woken up by Samuel if it were anyone else he would have ignored them. Micha went back to looking through his coffee packs. He finally decided on a French Roast blend. Micha put the pack in then closed the lid. He grabbed a mug and stuck it beneath the filter. Micha pushed start and leaned against the counter. He heard his phone go off again. Micha grabbed it and looked the new text off. He sighed a little to himself. I’m fine. Nothing’s wrong. Micha texted back before closing his phone. There really wasn’t anything wrong. He just needed space and he figured the best kind of space was at his own house. Micha enjoyed his time with Samuel but when it came down to having nothing else to say then he figured it was best to leave instead of making up things to do. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel waited patiently for Micha to reply to him. He flipped through the paper, reading a few articles as he did, and sipped on his coffee. After a few minutes passed his phone buzzed in his pocket. Pulling out his phone, he smiled as he read the message. Glad to know his waking him up was helpful. He set his phone aside, not sure what to text back and even more curious if the male would reply to his other message. As he sat there, his stomach gave a loud growl, demanding he make something for breakfast. He pulled away from the stood and walked back around the counter and opened up the fridge. Staring at the nearly bare shelves, he grabbed a carton of eggs and closed the door. He then went to collect a clean pan and the bottle of olive oil. Pouring a bit into the bottom of the pan and turning on the burner. Samuel heard his phone buzz again and picked it up to read the new message. He sighed as he read the text, still confused. "Really? You seemed rather pissed to me when you left yesterday." he replied, setting the phone back on the counter after the message was sent. Maybe it was just his imagination or maybe it just proved how little he really knew the male. But his behavior before leaving seemed strange to him and like he had done something to offend him. His first instinct was to apologize, but it seemed weird to do so when the other was claiming all was alright. Samuel moved back to the stove and cracked open three eggs for his breakfast, letting them sit in the pan to fry he put away the egg carton and took out a loaf of bread to make toast.

"Micha knew he was a complicated person at times and not easy to understand. He himself sometimes didn’t know how to explain his own feelings. Micha found it odd sometimes that Samuel tolerated him at times. He heard the sound of his coffee maker beeping. Micha turned toward his coffee maker as he grabbed his cup off the stand and set it on the counter. He grabbed the sugar and poured some sugar into the coffee. Micha grabbed a spoon and stirred the sugar into his coffee. He grabbed his coffee and his phone as he left the kitchen making his way toward the stairs and up toward his office. Micha flipped the light on as he got to his office. He sipped his coffee as he made his way toward his desk as he took a seat behind it. Micha heard his phone got off. He set his coffee down as he looked his text over. Micha sighed a little knowing speaking in person was easier than speaking over a text. He grabbed his coffee as he took a sip from it, I wasn’t pissed really just had nothing else to say and I couldn’t just lounge around your house all day if we weren’t going to speak to each other. Micha text back not sure if that was the right thing to say. He closed his phone as he set it aside. Micha started up his laptop as he sipped on his coffee. He ran a hand through his hair not sure what Samuel would think of his text or if he would be annoyed by it. Micha hoped Samuel wouldn’t be annoyed since it wasn’t his intention to make Samuel annoyed with him."

Making breakfast didn't take too much more of his time up. Samuel finished cooking his eggs and the toast popped up in the toaster a few minutes later. Grabbing a plate from the cabinet he put his food onto the plate and turned off the burner. He then moved back around the corner to resume sitting, still waiting for Micha to reply. For awhile he thought he might have said something strange and the male didn't want to talk to him anymore. He knew texting about stuff like this wasn't the best way to have a conversation. But what could do. It was too early to actually talk on the phone and the male had left and told him straight up he was unsure if he would ever come back so a a face-to-face chat here seemed out of the question. His phone buzzed on the counter just as he was piling his eggs on to the pieces of toast to make an egg sandwich. He wiped his hands and read the new message, again finding his answer to be odd. Normally when Samuel ran out of things to talk about with a person, he tried to find a subject that could clear up the silence. If that didn't work, find something they enjoyed doing to avoid any awkward silence. He shook his head quietly. Maybe they weren't compatible for one another. It wouldn't be the first time he thought he liked someone only to find out they had almost nothing in common. He stared at his phone for a few minutes before replying. "Ah, okay." he replied simply as his mind refuse to allow any other intelligent response to come to mind. He didn't know what else to say and doubted their conversation was going to last much longer anyways. Putting his phone aside, he turned to his food and started to eat it before it turned cold.

"As Micha sat at his desk he pulled open his emails. He saw a few were from clients wanting to see if he was going to be starting again soon. Micha wondered if it would be best to just continue working instead of going on that hiatus. He left those emails alone for now as he continued to look through the rest of them. Micha deleted the junk mail as he read the others. A few were from others wanting to pick up their photos. He hadn’t gotten them ready but figured he should do that today. Micha was being lazy but couldn’t know that was bad for business. He heard his phone go off and picked it up. Micha read the text and wasn’t surprised by Samuel’s two worded text. He sighed a little wondering if he pissed Samuel off. Micha hated conversations over text and he couldn’t help but want to see Samuel. He knew it was an odd sensation but the feeling was there. Micha quickly wrote out a text, Are you working tonight or will you be at home? He sent the text before setting his phone aside. Micha went back to checking his email. He didn’t want things to be uncomfortable between them. Micha hated that more than anything. He didn’t know why but he found himself becoming attached to Samuel and it wasn’t a good thing. Micha liked Samuel even if they barely had anything in common. He enjoyed his time with Samuel even if they barely said anything at all. Micha could care less if they spoke at times, he just simply enjoyed being around Samuel. "

Samuel left his phone alone for a minute and concentrated on eating. If he kept his mind completely on Micha he was sure he might actually forget about his daily needs. He didn't like thinking about getting so close to the photographer. It was distracting and clouded his judgement. He was just finishing is breakfast when his phone buzzed again. Honestly, he hadn't expected the male to be replying given his last message. He wasn't at all mad at the male, just stumped to give an intelligent response. Pushing his plate aside, he read the message, curious why the male wanted to know. "Both," he replied. "I'm working at home tonight. Why? You miss me already?" Sending the text, he couldn't help to tease the male a bit. Their conversation just seemed so serious and would prefer to lighten things up like when they normally talk. Setting his phone aside, he picked up his plate and now empty coffee cup, walking around the counter to set the plate in the sink. He made a mental note to wash it later and refilled his cup. Samuel then took his coffee and phone with him down to the basement where he kept all his game systems. Since he wasn't in the mood to really do anything outside today or get started on his work, he thought he could kill time with a few hours playing DMC: Devil May Cry

"Micha wondered if it was crazy to go back on his words suddenly so soon. He told himself he wouldn’t go back to Samuel’s place again and here he already wanted to see Samuel again. Micha pushed himself away from his computer as he stood up. He grabbed his coffee and phone as he left the room. Micha made his way down the hallway toward his studio. He figured today he would relax tomorrow work unfortunately. Micha walked into the studio as he turned the light on. He set his coffee and phone on the small desk near the door. Micha moved toward the stereo as he turned it on letting music fill the room. He heard the sound of his phone going off behind him. Micha looked toward it as he walked back to pick it up. He read the message and laughed lightly as he looked it over. Micha knew Samuel was teasing him but he couldn’t help it. Perhaps. Is that such a bad thing? He texted back before setting his phone down. Micha grabbed his coffee as he took a sip of it. He moved toward a chair in the corner as he took his phone with him. Micha sat back in it as he grabbed a book from the small shelf next to it. He opened the book to one of the book markers and started to look it over. Micha had a few art books he had collected over the years he used as references for his own paintings."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Making his way down to the basement, he flipped the switch as he came into the room. The lights came on one by one, the neon light under the bar warming up slowly. Passing the bar and walking around the couch, Samuel set his cup on the coffee table and started looking through his various games. A large 55 inch LED TV hung mounted on the wall and several gaming consoles along with a dvd player lay lined up beneath it. On either side of the television where two shelves, each holding movies and games ordered alphanumerically and by what system they belonged to. Looking through the rows of Xbox games, he picked out the game he was going to play and turned on the console. He felt his phone buzz in his pocket as he placed the disk in the tray. After pressing a button, he walked around the coffee table with a controller in hand. He took a seat at the couch and pulled out his phone to read what the male had sent him this time. Samuel smiled at the message, strangely glad the male missed him. "Not bad. A bit surprising, but still good." he replied, hitting send as the main console menu appear across the television. Samuel Set his phone aside after sending his message and picked up the controller. He waited for all the opening bits to wrap up before selection load, wanting to pick up where he left off nearly three weeks ago. Character wise, this DMC was nothing like the other Devil May Cry games, but it wasn't as horrible as he feared it would be. He sat back in his seat as he started to play while keeping watch on his phone. He didn't want to accidentally miss one of the males' messages only to find it some five hours later.

"As he sat there, Micha wondered if perhaps his text seemed too weird. He relaxed in his seat as he flipped through his book. Micha’s mind was wandering not really focusing not paying attention to what he was reading. He flipped through the pages looking mostly over the pictures than the words. Micha finally gave up after a while as he sat there and put his book back on the shelf. He shifted as he got up out of his chair as he left his studio with phone in hand. Micha walked down the hallway toward the stairs. He made his way toward the kitchen to make something to eat. Micha wasn’t hungry but knew if he didn’t eat he was likely to get sick. He grabbed the loaf of bread as he pulled out two piece and move to put them in the toaster. Micha pushed down the lever on the toaster as he heard his phone go off. He leaned against the counter while he waited for his toast. Micha looked over the text as he rolled his eyes a little. Surprising? How so? Why is it surprising that I should miss you? Am I not allowed? He sent the text then set his phone aside. Micha heard the toaster pop as his toast finished. He grabbed a plate as he finished his hot toast out. Micha set it on the plate then moved to get the grape jelly out of the fridge. He grabbed a knife from the drawer then went about spreading jelly on his toast. Once he was finished, he took his plate and phone to the table. Micha took a seat and starting eating as he sat there. "

Playing his game, he kept little attention on his phone. He instead concentrated on killing the fictional monsters and conversing with the other characters. Minutes later his phone buzzed again beside him. Pausing his game, Samuel picked up his phone, laughing at bit at the males message. "Oh you're allowed, but like I said, it's surprising. Most people are glad to be away from me after spending more than a couple of hours together." hitting send he wondered just how odd the male might think his message was. It wasn't like he was lying. He knew the way people acted around him and knew that a lot of them found him arrogant and couldn't wait to be away from him. Why should Micha be any different? He liked him now but would he still be thinking the same thing come a month or two? He wondered. Hitting the start button, he unpaused his game and continued once more, setting his phone again off to his side and allowing himself to become more absorbed in his game than any messages on his phone.

"Micha munched on his toast as he sat at his table. He finished with it as he went to set his plate in the sink and wash his sticky fingers off. Micha went back to grab his phone as he left to head upstairs to his bedroom to get dressed. He couldn’t laze around his house all day like he planned on after all he needed to do a few things down at his studio. Micha walked toward his closet once he was in his bedroom. He pulled out a dark blue long sleeve button up shirt along with his tan jacket and dark blue denim jeans. Micha stripped off the clothes he had slept in and pulled on his chosen attire. He finished getting dressed by slipping on his socks and black books. Micha left his room as he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

Once he was finished Micha left his bathroom as he made his way downstairs to get his phone from the kitchen. He saw Samuel had texted him back. Micha read the text and rolled his eyes a little. Well I’m not most people. He texted back before slipping his phone back into his pocket. Micha left the kitchen heading toward the phone door. He grabbed his wallet slipping it into his pocket as he grabbed the keys as well. Micha opened the door as he slipped out it and locked the door behind him. He started down the street heading toward the subway station. Micha wasn’t bothered by Samuel in the least true Samuel had sides to him that could but called annoying but didn’t everyone? He liked spending time with Samuel even if that time was spent arguing at times. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

Samuel was aware that the male wasn't like most people and he shouldn't worry how he thought of him. People like Micha seemed so few and far between. It was people like Micha that attracted him in the first place, his exact polar opposite. Samuel could get any high class ready to march down the aisle bride he wanted, but he didn't. He could barely stand himself at times, what use would come of being with someone exactly like himself? When the male didn't reply as quickly to his texts as he was before, he figured they were done talking for now. He kept focused on the game, slashing demons here and there as he went. Nearly twenty minutes passed before his phone would buzz again. By that time Samuel was too into his game to have realized it had even gone off. He sat at the edge of his seat, his eyes glued to the screen. Samuel played for another half hour before dying three times in a row and calling it quits for DMC. Going to the console menu, he ejected the disk and got up to take out the game. Replacing the disk to its' box and place on the shelf, Samuel hit the button for the tray to close. He came back to sit on the couch, picking up his phone and seeing that he had another text. Reading through it, he smiled. "I know,he replied, "That's why I like you :3" Hitting send, he sighed softly as he flopped back in his seat. Picking up the controller again, he went over to his game menu to search through the various games he'd downloaded before picking a new one, I Am Alive

"It didn’t take long to get to the station from his house, though it would have been faster by car. Micha didn’t mind walking he preferred not to get caught up in the traffic of the city. He loved New York but hated the traffic. Micha never found a reason to buy a car. He figured if he ever needed to get anywhere there was always the subway or he could walk. Micha slipped down the stairs as he walked down toward the turnabout to pay for his ride. He pulled out his card as he slipped it into the reader. Micha waited for it to scan before slipped through the turnabout and walked toward the platform. He slipped his card back into his wallet as he stood waiting on the platform. Micha had heard his phone go off earlier. He slipped his hand into his pocket as he looked over Samuel’s text. Micha smiled to himself a little happy, Well it would be bad if you hated me. He texted back slipping his phone back into his pocket. Micha looked to see his subway was arriving. He stepped closer toward the platform and waited for the doors to open. Micha slipped onto the subway once the doors opened. He walked toward an open seat as more people continued to pile on and exit. Micha sat back as he waited for the subway to start up again."
