So here is the english version of the Ollian-Short-Story "Auf frischer Tat ertappt". Please keep in mind, that english is not my mother tongue at all and I only learned it in school.
And another thing: This story was inspired by the preview for 11th and 12th june. So people, who don't want to know, what will or could happen, don't read this!
Here we go now:
Caught in the act
„Fuck“, was all that Christian could say. He had been enjoying the kissing and caressing so much, that he hadn’t heard him coming in. He was so dumbfounded , that he didn’t know how to react and what to do. So all he did was sitting there in the bed, all naked. In his head his thoughts were spinning “Bad enough, that I got caught having sex, and even worse while having sex with a man” he was just thinking, when the person he had been staring at the whole time, turned aroung and left the bedroom. As if someone had turned a switch, Christian got back to live and jumped out of bed. On the way to the door he got dressed in a hurry. With a “Hey just wait”, he run out of the room and headed for the living room.
„That can’t be happening“. This phrase kept resounding in his head. When he had been standing at the bedroom door with his hand at the door latch. He had planned on entering the room and saying something like “Hey, sleepy head, get up already. The sun is shining, the birds are singing .... and thirsty people are waiting downstairs”. He opened the door. He heard them, before he could see them. First there was a moan, followed by a throaty laughter. He was just about to leave, when out of the sheets emerged a head. But it wasn’t Christians, it was Oliver. Then appeard the other head and this time it was his brother. Now he was standing in the living room, without a clue, what to feel or to think. He more felt than heard that somebody had entered the room. When he turned around, he saw in the sligthly blushed face of his brother. He couldn’t tell if the colour of his face was still because of the arousel he had felt until moments ago or because of the shame he probably felt now. Because Christian just stood there helplessly and without saying a word, it was Gregor, who began to speak “How long has this been going on?” Christian still didn’t move nor did he look like he would be saying something soon, so Gregor continued “Damn! Christian, how could you ... “ He didn’t get much further with his speech, because this words seemed to trigger something in Christian and he was now staring at him angrily and began to shout “Of course, my brother, the casanova, has a problem with me having sex with a man”. Bevor Gregor had the chance to reply something to this verbal attack, Christian stormed out of the apartment.
Oliver had stayed back because he wanted to give the two brothers the chance to talk this through. But he also wanted to be there for Christian, in case he needed him. Thats why, as soon as his boyfriend hat left the room, he got dressed and waited. All of a sudden he heard the banging of a door and when he entered the living room, he just saw one of the Mann-brothers standing there.
”What happened?” Oliver asked and looked questioningly at Gregor. “I just asked, how long this thing between the two of you has been going on and how he could have done this”, answered Gregor, who was still a bit in shock because of Christians behaviour just now. “You did what? Gosh! Gregor, that was the last thing that Christian needed to hear from you. Yes, he should have told you long ago, that we are seeing eachother and I always encouraged him to tell you. But he was just so scared. I mean, it wasn’t easy for him to accept his feelings for me. He was fighting them for quite a while and I had a hard time getting through to him.” „How did this happen’“ Gregor asked. „I won’t go into details, because it is up to Christian to tell you all this. But to cut a long story short: I kissed Coco, that kiss lead to a kiss between Christian and me, which ultimately led to us being a couple”. “All this kissing makes me dizzy and I’m not sure that I understand all of it”, Gregor replied “But that’s not important now. I really need to talk to my brother, I will go and look for him. He is probably….“ „at the boxing club“ Gregor and Oliver said at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled at each other, because the two people who were closest to Christian had been thinking the same thing at the exact same moment.
He was out of breath. But it wasn’t because he had ran all the way over here. It was beacause of all these conflicting feelings he was fighting against. Relief, sadness, fear, anger .. he felt all that at the same time. At least, now the secret was out in the open. He had been feeling really bad these last weeks, when Gregor hat been worried about him because he thaught that he was still not over Coco. And all this time he had been so happy. The happiest he had been in a long time. Probably the happiest he had been in his life. It was just unbelievable. Oli was his best friend and lover all in one. One moment they were talking about what ever and the next moment they were all over eachother. They never could stay away long from each ohter. Usually it started with a light touch or a gaze into these most beautiful dark eyes and he could no longer hold back. He just had to touch him. And soon this wasn’t enough anymore and he wanted to feel him even closer .. all the way.
Something, that felt so good, couldn’t be wrong, right? But then he had seen the look in Gregors eyes just now back in the apartment. And all his fears and apprehensions came flooding back. Deep down inside, he had so wished for his, seemingly open-minded brother to not have a problem with him beeing in love with a man. But apparently this voice inside his head, which had warned him all the time, had been right all a long. It was hard to believe, that jus moments ago he had felt so happy, lying in Olivers arms. And now he felt so sad and alone.
He had been right. He new his brother well, despite the fact, that they were so different in so many ways and because of these differences, clashed with eachother quite often. When he entered the boxing club, he saw Christian standing there, hugging the sandbag, he usually trained at. He always tried to give the impression of beeing a strong person, but Gregor knew, that deep down inside, all his brother wanted, was to be loved and accepted. Christian seemed to dwell so deep in his dim thougths, that he didn’t hear Gregor coming. Only when he was standing right behind him, Christian turned around. Before he could even open his mouth, Gregor started to speak „No, Christian, this time you will listen to what I have to say, not like back in the apartment. Yes, I’m angry and verry dissapointed. But not because you are into men now and in love with Oliver, but because you didn’t trust me enough to confide in me. Instead you have been lying all these weeks. You are my family and I just want you to be happy.” “I am happy”, Christian replied to this “Oliver really makes me happy”.
He really started to worry now. He had waited in the apartment for what felt like an eternity to him and neither Christian nor Oliver hat come back or at least called. He knew his little Dramaqueen and how he could be obstinate sometimes. So after a while he decided to go to the boxing club as well. When he opened the door, he saw the two brothers hugging each other. Seeing this put a smile on his face and he closed the door from outside.
