"But I will not!" Miki looked at from Joshua defiant eyes, moved his mouth dissatisfied. "I want to come along!"
"This can not, Fröschchen." Jushua suppressed a sigh. Miki in spite of their mood could be a really tough nut, he had noted with time. "When we come back from the movies, it's much too late for you. Since you have to sleep now. "
" Why can go for then? "So they do not easily give up.
"Because we are older than you and do not need as much sleep." Mika came into the living room, a serious look in his eyes. "There is no discussion on this evening, Miki."
For a moment it looked as if she wanted to throw on the floor and cry out loud, but that ringing the door you took the opportunity. Mika turned around. "I'm already."
Joshua was on the couch next to sit Miki, who looked like they could not sulk and between their curiosity at the door decide to go. But then the curiosity triumphed, she hopped off the couch and walked towards the door to the corridor. Joshua grinned slightly and followed her. It was always helpful that Miki was distracted by her curiosity.
As they entered the hall, Mika was at the open front door and greeted someone in the hallway. "Yeah, nice that you're here. Come clean. "
" Hello, Mr. Arens. "A tall, lanky boy with almost straw-blond hair came to the door, and when Miki saw him, she squealed in pleasure.
"Jo! Jo! Jo! "She ran up to him and he let her move into the living room. Joshua watched the scene with a chuckle. The evening was saved. For several months, John was already Mikis babysitter and she adored him. He was the son of one of Mika's colleagues and had proved to be extremely talented. He built and painted a lot with Miki and held her sometimes very unpleasant moods without any problems. Since he had told Mika and Joshua that he had three younger sisters, she was surprised that not more.
"wise decision." With a grin to my Joshua Mika, whose look was also followed his daughter and her babysitter.
"I know." Mika returned the grin. "To get as protest our movie night. Now she wants to come along that is certainly not more. "
Mika went to the dressing room, gave Joshua his jacket and took his own. "Let us go as long as the euphoria still prevails."
"Good idea." Joshua grinned and followed his roommate in the living room to say goodbye. Mika Miki gave a kiss on her hair, she said a few words in Japanese and then motioned to have John, Miki had been made in fitting. Joshua came upon them, Miki stroked over his head and grinned John.
"Do not be ready to make of it."
laughed the boy. "These are my three sisters have not been able Miki then creates the not. "
" Well, you're tough, we see one. laughed "Mika. "We're so half past eleven to be back."
"Enjoy two quietly the evening, Miki and I will know we have to employ." As if to confirm his words gave Miki a coloring book and a box of pencils.
"Have Fun." Mika threw the two remaining one last look, he turned and took Joshua to the upper arm. "Then let's go to the cinema."
"Bye." Joshua was followed by Mika from the Wohung, down the stairs and out of the house.
him before Mika breathed deep with a slight smile. "Man, I've been looking forward to this evening. I was not ever in the movies. "
" Then let us enjoy. "Joshua said with a grin and took dan way to the cinema.

it true exactly half past eleven clock, as Joshua unlocked the door to the apartment. In the hall greeted the dark, but through the frosted glass in the door to the living room was the flickering light of the TV to see. Mika followed Joshua into the apartment, they took off their jackets and hung them in the wardrobe. Joshua went into the living room at first and found John, as expected, on the couch watching TV.
"Hello." Greeted the boy, looking up from the screen. "How was the evening?"
"relaxing. Very nice. "Said Mika, who was added and Joshua put his hands to the sides to slide it through the door. "Can you see me through times?"
"Definitely. I'm so nice. "Joshua grinned and took a step aside to let Mika through. In response, Mika released him and went into the kitchen.
"You also have a wine?"
"Certainly. Red? "Said Joshua, when he finished behind the hall door to Miki as not to wake. "How was your evening?"
John turned off the television, got up and stretched himself with a grin. "Productive. We have just painted and then tinkered Bommel. And not just one. "
" When you brought them to bed? "Joshua watched as Mika got in the kitchen, the bulbous red wine glasses from the cupboard and opened a bottle of wine.
"At about half past seven. Not long after the Sandman. Albeit under protest. "John put on his shoes, which had stood in front of the couch and grinned. "But so easily I did not let me soften. Miki wanted to stay up until you both come back, but that I have her with a better bedtime story can finish. "
" You are really good! "Mika came out of the kitchen and gave Joshua a wine glass. "So you've successfully beaten today."
John laughed. "After all, you have time can have a relaxing evening alone. I can imagine that this is not so easy to get, if one has to be Miki. "
" This is probably true. "Mika smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder. "But at least we have you."
"According to you." John stood up and walked towards the door. Mika and Joshua followed him, then took his wallet from his Mika Pocket and gave John his well-deserved money.
"The tinkering did you really so much deserved."
"Oh, Miki is a great kid. She has so much imagination that you have to give her just a nudge in the right direction and they are self-employed "John took his pay with a smile and put the bills in his pants pocket. Then he took his jacket from the wardrobe and pulled it over. "I think you are both great parents."
Mika smiled slightly and Joshua was able to read the well-hidden surprise in his face. "Thanks."
"If you look at Miki, then that is only confirmed. "John said with an open smile. "For me you are the best example that you can have as a gay couple a real family. At some point I'll make with my friend, too. "
" Uh ... "Mika seemed speechless to have.
Joshua saw John open, almost euphoric face and had not the heart to correct him and to rob his enthusiasm. "Thank you. That does not we too often. "
" But you should. "John opened the door and waved to Mika and Joshua shortly before he left. "Bye, see you next time"
Mika still looked puzzled at the door, from her baby sitter had just disappeared. "When he gets out that we were a couple?"
Joshua sighed heavily and took a sip of his wine. "I hear this assumption is not the first time,"
"You have to explain to me closer." Mika had now finally turned away from the door and gave him a curious look. "Let us go into the living room."
Joshua followed him and pulled the door to the hallway behind him. "Well, I have received from different places already said the same thing. Among others, Raphael, Marianne, and even the woman at the bakery entertains the idea. "
" Marianne? Mikis kindergarten teacher? "Mika laughed out loud. "This explains their views. I've been wondering, "
Joshua also had to smile. "Yes, she had already thought their part. When I corrected it, but it was her terribly embarrassing. "
Mika laughed some more as he sat down on the couch. "She raised up on our 'relationship'? I would not have believed it. "
" Well, she did not tell me directly questioned. But she called up my partner, and as it was not difficult to guess on how they the said. "With a grin to Joshua sat next to him.
"And you tell me about this?" Mika looked stressed bargain outraged. "Really, I'd like to share the fun."
"Did you just yet. John has made up part of it. "
" I was so taken aback that it had me slyly, in the truest sense of the word the language. "Mika smiled and thought Joshua with a side glance. "And you have not corrected him."
"I had not the heart to do." He sighed slightly. "Have you seen his enthusiastic view? If he is gay, just as he added more or less , then he has remained silent probably hard enough without me having him destroy his ideal and his motivation. "
Mika for a moment and drank some wine. "There is something to it."
"Do you mind that I did not correct him?"
Joshua Mika threw a look. "Yes. And you jumped? "
Joshua his shoulders. "Yes. Otherwise I would not have left him in his faith. "
few moments they sat in comfortable silence together, then grinned slightly Mika. "And so very wrong he has not."
Joshua raised an eyebrow surprised. "How?"
"In terms of the parents. You really are an integral part in Mikis life. I would have never thought that they would be approached so close to anyone, but somehow you did it. "Mika gave him a small smile. "I'm glad we found you."
Joshua could not help but grin spontaneously. "Or I you, depending on how you look. I place the ad, but if you had not replied, they would have been useless "
" As I have stated before:.. We've probably looked for and found "Mika raised his wine glass and pushed Joshua on.
Joshua "And apparently our environment, this opinion is ..." laugh out loud. "Mika, you're impossible!"
The grin of the Asians was contagious. "Well, at least we were told of four independent positions by the pair of the year."
"And the need to know it, do not they?" Joshua took a sip of really good red wine and looked a moment lost in thought in the glass and frowned.
"a fruit salad for your thoughts." Mika said he heard beside him and could see the smile in his voice.
"Can I up something personal Ask? "He also gave his view of the shimmering shades of red wine oriented.
"Sure. I do not think that is something I would not answer you. "Mika's voice sounded surprised, yet absolutely convinced of what he had said.
Joshua hesitated for a moment that he looked up and caught sight of his friend. "What about Mikis mother? I have never heard you say something about her and Miki speaks not of it. "
Mika held his gaze, but Joshua could see that he struggled a moment for composure. Joshua almost expected that he would receive no answer, that he had a Step had gone too far with his question. In the six months that they were living together, he had never heard a word about it, never seen a photo of her and he did not even know her name. He had never dared to ask Mika to her, but a few moments seemed the right moment to have been. Now he was there not so sure.
Mika still had said nothing, but his gaze was still directed to Joshua, the only reason that prevented Joshua like to apologize to stand up and flee. With a slow movement Mika turned his wine glass on the coffee table and cleared his throat.
"I was wondering for a long time, when are you after she'd ask. "His voice was surprisingly calm.
"I do not have the right to ask you something privately." Joshua forced himself to look away. "Sorry."
Mika shook her head. "That may indeed have applied initially, but now you're perfectly entitled to ask me for it. You are a part of our little family now, Josh, and this includes that I'll explain what happened. "
" You have to explain anything to me, Mika, if you do not want that. "Joshua felt uncomfortable in his skin repented and his spontaneous question that Mika was clearly not comfortable. He had not destroy the entire night like, but that is what he had achieved.
"It feels good to talk about it sometimes." Mika looked away and took a deep breath. He seemed to seek a beginning. "Mikis mother's name was Maren. She died two years ago. "
Joshua had to swallow, but dared not to say anything. After a moment, Mika went on, looking into the distance. "When Miki was two years old, have Maren and I made together with Maren's best friend and her husband and son a trip to Singapore. As a special gift for our women, Jonas and I considered giving Maren and Kim for a trip to Phuket. We were the children keep with us and allow the two women a real trip. "
Mika stopped short and took a sip of wine. An infinitely sad smile on his lips. "They were so happy."
He put the glass back on the table, stood up and walked a few steps to the Thresen. There he stood, hands on the plate, his back stiff. "It was unfortunately the wrong time. We have the next morning in the hotel learned of the tsunami, just as we were sitting at dinner. Maren and Kim must be at the time had long been in Phuket. "
Joshua felt a cold shiver down his spine ran and goose bumps spread over his entire body. Then he heard Mika: "Miki was too young to remember really Maren. I told her about her sometimes, but I often think that it is better that they do not know what it is lacking. "
Joshua did not know what he could have said, that would not have been a meaningless phrase. Instinctively, he got up and followed his instinct. He stepped behind Mika, put his hands on the upper arms tight to his friend and hugged him. For a moment, Mika remained rigid in its position, the tension seemed to differ from his body. He left his held breath Escape let go of the Thresen and leaned against Joshua. After a moment he laid his hands on Joshua's resting on his Oberammergau.
"Thanks." Mika's voice sounded tired, tired, and yet somehow relieved. "I have not often talked about."
"For that I am here." Joshua put his cheek on Mika's back and tried to bring about the contact, what he wanted to give. Comfort, support, trust. The Mika was not alone.
Mika took a deep breath and tried to get his emotions back under control. Joshua Close did him good, calmed him down, despite all the pent-up pain that seized him every time he thought of Maren and her trip.
"We have also still sent to Phuket!" For the first time he said what he had thought so many times. He knew that the whole thing was not his fault, he had not even triggered the tsunami, but the bitter feeling was that Maren would be life without the gift of the trip still on.
Joshua heard Mika's quiet, almost soundless words, and felt he again ran a chill down your spine. He loosened his embrace and turned slowly to Mika, without letting go of him. In his face were pain, guilt and self-reproach written to a muscle his neck twitched uncontrollably. Joshua slowly put his hands on Mika's cheeks and looked firmly into his eyes.
"It will probably make no difference if I tell you that it had no influence and no valid up debt. But you should know that Miki you're the best father you could wish for. You've done nothing wrong, since Miki does not think that it lacks anything. "Joshua dash lightly with the thumb on Mika's cheek. "You can be proud of you. Not many people have managed to maintain under such conditions as much courage and raise such a wonderful daughter. "
Mika swallowed visibly, then smiled slightly. "Thanks."
Joshua smiled and pulled him into a hug. Mika put her arms around his back as he was holding himself. Then he buried his face in Joshua's neck flexor and murmured softly. "You are the best thing that happened to me since a long time, Josh"
A hand Mika pointed slightly up on the hair and said softly. "Likewise,"
Mika took a deep breath and took advantage of Joshua's fragrance, a blend of his shampoo, his aftershave and his very own smell. He could feel Joshua's arms that held him and gave him a feeling of security. The hands that patted him reassuringly on the back. It was so incredibly good to not even have to be the strong one and can fall to. When Joshua Mika felt no longer the responsibility of being alone. Joshua gave him support, something that Mika had not seen since Maren.
Maren's death since he had held his worries and fears fixed and can not come to the surface, to allow Miki, carefree growing up. Miki was the center of his life, there had been no scandals or even relations with any women. And when Mika was honest, he had not expected that this would change. Miki was his priority and he realized that in most respects a problem would represent.
Then he moved in with Joshua, and without realizing it, the young clerk had become an indispensable part of his life and Mikis. They had grown together into a kind of small family, without that one of them had become aware of it. John remarks had called Mika this idea first came into consciousness, and he had to admit that it was true. Besides Miki Joshua was the most important person in his life.
Joshua's hands brushed lightly by Mika's hair and over his neck and the contact caused goose bumps for Mika. Once again he took a deep breath, then straightened slowly up again, loosened his hands from Joshua's back and laid him on the shoulder. A half smile was on his lips. "We have really searched and found us well."
Joshua laughed softly, his hands on Mika's pages. "You can say so."
