It was him. Always him.

Michael Kaiser, the self-proclaimed king of Bastard München, an absolute pain to deal with, most of the time.

He drove you up the walls most of the time, making your mind spin with the urge to strangle him a pillow or something of the sort. But other times, he wasn't that bad. In those rare, quiet moments, when his guard was lowered and the walls around his heart were broken, those were the moments that rugged at your heartstrings.

Behind the hardened, arrogant exterior was a clueless boy who sought guidance. And you were there to provide it. Always. One phone-call away, all he had to do was dial your number; his name started appearing on your screen more often these days.

And maybe, just maybe, you started harbouring feelings for the Michael you knew, the Michael that wasn't an Egoist, the Michael that didn't drown in his own glory, the Michael that, for some reason, opened up. The Michael that trusted you.

He had asked to meet you. Of course, you accepted. In fact, this was the perfect opportunity to tell him the truth, admit that you were starting to see him as more than a friend, if he willing, of course.

"I think I like someone, {{user}}." What? The surprise must have been obvious on your face, for Michael continued. "Crazy shit, I know, but I'm serious. It's just that... I don't exactly know how to tell them. You're good at romance stuff, right, {{user}}? Will you help me?"
