Well aside from the kisses ... ;p
There are a lot of scenes I really like. The "if you can top me" scene always makes me squee. Also, Christian acting like a jealous nutjob on Lisa's behalf when he catches Oliver with Timo. I also really love the scene where Christian talks about hanging out with naked sweaty men and Oliver immediately changes his mind about going for a walk with Lisa.
I also thought it was very soapy the way Christian would always immediately jump Coco when he had a fight with Oliver. Particularly after the first kiss where Coco arrives all distraught because she thinks Christian is angry about HER kiss with Oliver and she wants to talk and Christian just wordlessly backs her against the wall and kisses her. I think it was a fascinating scene because it was so obviously not something that came from her and that she wasn't expecting at all (because of course we know that Christian had a different motivation).

Oh, where to start? Here are some scenes I really like (aside from the one that is depicted on my avi): -The "shower scene" where Christian can't stop staring at Olli's naked body after he's gotten out of the shower. -The hug they share after Christian thanks Olli for secretly sending away his college application. - I also really love the scene where they are having dinner with Judith for the first time, with Christian burning his finger and Judith assuming they are together. I always have to grin like a fool when Judith says, "It's obvious that you two are in love with each other." ;D

Campfire scenes for me, I liked it how they overcame their animosities, it really was, as Gregor jokingly said, a beginning of a wonderful friendship

I am playing catch up and haven't watched in chronological order. I'm not sure I have an actual favorite moment yet. There are little things that I really like. Probably the one that sticks out most is when Christian is asleep on the couch and Olli leans over like he's going to kiss him. There was so much longing in that moment.

That's a hilarious scene. Also because of the dialog where Christian says he came to get a deo and instead grabs the shaving cream.

A couple already: - When they are both eating bananas in the kitchen. - When Christian realises who really is his on-line buddy.
But my favorite so far: - After they had sex for the first time and Olli is so mindful about what is going trough Christian's head and decides to leave saying "Guess84, it has really been nice to be with you".

I think the clip thread is only for new clips which haven't been posted before, that's why I won't re-post them there. But you can find all of them at tihkon2's channel. The shower scene and the dinner with Judith are in part 17, the hug is in the 13.3.08 episode. That's a hilarious scene. Also because of the dialog where Christian says he came to get a deo and instead grabs the shaving cream. Yeah, Christian just couldn't think straight (pun intended) anymore. ;D And I love how he smells at Olli's cologne at the end.

I loved that. Such a small and sensitive detail.
Of course the shoulder rub scene is a classic. I also really like the scene where they shake hands after Christian apologizes for freaking out about Timo.

I love reliving all these little moments. Another thing I remember is how Christian first came to Olli after finding out that Coco kissed "some guy" (not knowing yet that it was Olli, of course). I always liked that at that point in their relationship he trusted Olli enough to share his feelings and his problems with him.

I always thought that it said so much that after the first kiss the kiss that Christian started dreaming about was much more romantic than what actually happened. Christian, a softie at heart.

I loved that, in his dream he pulls Ollie back and kisses him again. And what a kiss that was

And Christians wrapped for boxing hands are just so hot in that scene.

I think my favorite moment is when during the last "chat" session when Ollies' picture comes into proper focus. Christian looks beside himself - and must suddenly feel so exposed - that he has been so open with the first boy he has ever had feeling for.

I thought of another funny moment. It's when Coco confronts Christian about kissing Olli and she says, "I apologized a thousand times for kissing him, meanwhile you're making out with him yourself?" LOL. I love that line, it's so hilarious! ;D

My favorite moment besides of course, the boys finally making love would be, Christian realizing he feels something for Oli. It's in an episode I've just uploaded to Youtube. It's the day after the campfire talk and the everyone's preparing to leave. Christian is talking to Coco, and Oli comes outside. Christian looks over at Oli and you can see him decide to abandon Coco and go talk to Oli. It's an amazing moment in my opinon.
here's the whole scene.

I agree with you tihkon2! That's such an amazing episode! I had only seen the towel scene before and know, thanks to you and Nanna, it's edited and subtitled! You both really are my heroes! Of couse, I also love the shower scene and when they almost kiss each other when they're sleeping!

I don't think that Christian starts to have romantic feelings for Olli yet, though. We heard he did not like to talk about his past, because it was embarrasing and painful for him. But it turned out to be exactly what he needed, sharing his most private thoughts with somebody, the part about not talking properly with his father before he died, being the most important bit. So the next day he felt really close to Olli, because he now knew what probably even Coco knew nothing about.

Romantic feelings is such a loaded concept. I think there was some sort of strange suppressed lust going on before that and there are a bunch of times where I get the impression what Christian really wanted to get to *know* Olli, be his friend (back when he still thought Olli was straight).
Makes me wonder how things would have continued if Oliver hadn't kissed Christian. Part of me thinks Christian would have happily gone on in denial, but part of me also thinks it would have continued to irk him and it would eventually have spilled into fantasies even if Olli hadn't giving him the cue. Now whether he would ever acted on it is a different question ...

My favorite Christian and Oliver scene? It's so hard to choose! I love them all for various reasons.
However, I think my all time favorite so far is when Christian hugs Oliver. It is such a tender and heartfelt moment. At first Ollie is little shocked by the gesture, but didn't fight it. Christian then gave Olli's back a little rub, then you can see Christian's arm squeeze Olli a little. It was like Christian couldn't get Olli close enough to him and he just wanted to hold him. As everyone could tell, they were both enjoying the hug and cherishing the moment.
Then, Judith walked in. What surprised me was Christian's reaction. He wasn't angry, upset or embarrassed that he was caught hugging Olli. That says a lot for Christian!

Now whether he would ever acted on it is a different question ... Let me rephrase then, he didn't feel anything he would have to suppress or have to control himself around Olli (as he does now), exhibit A - a fight with the brooms, he's totally relaxed and just having fun. He wouldn't have done it if he already felt attracted to him in a "disturbing" way.

Yeah, makes me wonder if that will continue when they are a couple or whether it will be as lighthearted as that moment.

Quoting myself here, because I think I worded this wrongly. Lets see if I can articulate this any better. In the second part of the camping trip, I think Christian for the first time feels a closeness to Oli that he hasn't felt up until then. Likewise , Oli feels a closeness to Christian, but as we see soon enough, It's more than closeness. I also agree with LolaRuns that for Christian, there has been an undercurrent of something , (attraction, curiosity...), since the first time he worked out with Oli at the gym.

It was mentioned in the "clips thread" but I have to say the moment when Christian overheard Olli say he didn't know what he'd do with [Christian] right after Christian planned the trip with Coco to India then Christian immediately turned around and canceled the trip. I felt bad for Coco but I was pleasantly surprised how quickly and without hesitation that Christian changed his plans after hearing Olli's comment.
I also liked Judith's face when she first had dinner with the guys and she thought they were a couple.

I also liked the knowing look on her face. Oli is very obvious there as well, staring after Christian as he goes to the oven to fetch dessert. And Christian's face is also cute as Oli tends to C's burnt finger.
