 "As Micha went on about Whistler, he wondered if he was speaking too much. He finished speaking as he looked away embarrassed from Samuel. Micha blushed lightly as he looked down letting his hair cover his face like a curtain. He knew sometimes he talked too much if he was interested in something. Micha could talk for days if he was allowed to but sometimes wondered if the other person was bored with what he had to say. He didn’t think Samuel was bored with what he had to say but still he felt embarrassed. Micha watched movement beside him as Samuel stubbed his cigarette out against the dryer. He heard Samuel speak and shook his head a little, ”I don’t really like Modern art. I have nothing against those that do but it’s not my thing…I prefer the classics when it comes to art and music…My mother was a painter she introduced me to art which is probably why I prefer the classics over modern…She also used to tell me about this museum in Paris Musée du Louvre; it’s been a dream of mine to go there because she used to always tell me she would take me there.” Micha spoke as he sighed a little. He slipped a hand into his hair as he pushed it back from his face. Micha didn’t talk about his mother much because it was personal and because she had died in a horrific manner. He didn’t like talk to her about others either because it would provoke questions but Samuel already knew so he saw no reason to hide information about her."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
His tastes in art seemed to drift between both modern and classic. Samuel adored works by artists such as Da Vinci and Raphael. But he also enjoyed modern works by artists like Christy Lijewski, Hayao Miyuzaki, Doubleleaf, ElephantWendigo, and Nheira. All of them were talented artist and proved to be able to show inspiring works. Turning his attention to the male, he smiled as he seemed embarrassed. He didn't think him talking too much, in fact he liked that he was talking so much. It worried him when he was silent and always made him curious what it was going through the younger man's mind. Listening to the male continue, he perked his head up at the mention of the museum. He had heard of the place, had even gone there a few times when he had a business trip to France. He thought of asking to take the male there whenever he was free, but he didn't think the male would be into letting him take him all the way to Paris on his private jet and take him to the one place he was dying to see. But then again he could be wrong. Either way, right now didn't seem like the time to be asking him to go with him to a foreign country. "Sounds like a good dream, you should hold on to it. Just a helpful hint though, you'll want to save at least maybe a couple of thousand dollars for three reasons; conversation rates are ridiculous, staying in Paris ain't cheap, and you'll definitely wanna play tourist if it's your first time over there." Smiling at the male for a moment, he turned his head away unsure of what else to talk about. He knew Micha could go on about art, but with their taste so different he wasn't sure they could find common ground to discuss something.

"Micha knew it was likely their tastes were different but he didn’t mind. They didn’t share anything in common in the first place. He knew that from the start that they were total opposites. It amazed him at times how they could get along. Micha and Samuel were both stubborn people by nature and could easily get into arguments if they didn’t watch their words. He knew he had to watch his words and tone on occasions or he would piss Samuel off, he learned that already. Micha was rather good at pushing Samuel’s buttons however Samuel only amused him. He didn’t really get pissed off at Samuel; irritated sure but never pissed off yet. Micha listened as Samuel spoke and nodded slightly. He knew he would have to save though he had already saved. Micha could take the trip if he wanted too just hadn’t yet. He heard the washer give a loud buzz which notified him it was done. Micha shifted off the washer as he climbed down. He opened it as he grabbed out the clothes from inside and moved toward the dryer. Micha put the clothes into the dryer then grabbed a dryer sheet. He tossed the dryer sheet into the dryer with the clothes then closed the door. Micha turned the dryer on then moved back toward the washer as he took a seat back on it. He looked back at Samuel, ”So what about you? What do you like?” Micha asked curiously wondering what Samuel liked in means of art. He didn’t know what to talk about anymore but couldn’t just sit in silence while they waited for the clothes to dry. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
The loud buzzer surprised, he hadn't been paying attention to the time and only instead on their conversation. He move away from where he was standing, tossing the cigarette butt into a nearby trashcan. He watched Micha as he shifted the clothes from the washer into the dryer, climbing back onto the washer soon after. Hearing the male speak, he smiled at him. "I definitely enjoy a lot of modern stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of old stuff too, but digital just holds my attention more. I really like enjoy digital paintings and AMV's. Some of the stuff people can in different Adobe programs are amazing." he replied, smiling. "I did a bit of doodling when I was younger. But not anymore. The most artistic stuff I do are like the different flyers, prints for the club, and of course all my own personal stuff - business cards, cover letters, my resume. Business stuff." Samuel loved digital work. Even with tools like Photoshop CS6 and a Wacom tablet, it still amazed him how easily people could create such lifelike works. So of the stuff he'd come across, his brain still to this day refused to believe that what he was seeing wasn't a photograph, but a painting. Those were his favorite types of work.

"As Samuel started speaking, Micha listened as Samuel spoke. He found Samuel leaned more toward the digital arts when it came to art. Micha didn’t really like digital art all that much. He enjoyed photography but that’s as far as it went when it came to digital. Micha found that Samuel was just as passionate about digital art as he was about painting. He smiled as he listened to Samuel finding it amusing in a way. Micha continued to listen to Samuel though he really didn’t understand what he was talking about. He knew how to edit photos but anything beyond that he was clueless when it came to digital art. Micha understood that Samuel had a business to run so of course he would have to use flyers and advertisements to get people to come to his club. He relaxed as he sat back against the washer as silence seemed to settle between them now. Micha really didn’t know what to talk about since he wasn’t a fan of the digital arts. He looked toward Samuel, ”Well hopefully you can find someplace that has both our interest for Friday.” Micha spoke finding that it was no doubt that it was impossible but he didn’t want Samuel to be bored by simply only looking at what he wanted to look at. He wanted Samuel to enjoy his time as well instead of going of his way to find only a place for him. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Samuel had nothing against working with traditional methods, but for him, going digital put things into better motion and he liked the results he got. Though it was still editing in a way, it more complex than simple color changes and cropping out what he didn't want. There were layer masks, thousands of fonts, different little tricks and things he'd picked up through the years. He'd started with Photoshop CS3 and worked his way up to CS6. By far it was his favorite program to work with. He'd seen other editors and they just couldn't compare. It disgusted him how sites like Photobucket would try to copy after Photoshop. All that glitter and other bullshit just made him cringe. He couldn't understand how people thought that edits like that looked good. It was all so messy and childish looking. When he wasn't working in Photoshop, he liked to pass the time by making his own videos. He wasn't that great, but liked to attempt at making stuff in After Effects and Sony Vegas. The effects were interesting and there were endless options at what he could do. Samuel could understand why Micha would prefer staying traditional, traditional works were lovely. But from his business perspective, digital was the way to do things. He smiled back at the male as he spoke, nodding and moving closer to him. "Oh I think I can find something." he replied, taking the males' hand within his own. "I have a few friends in the art industry, a couple of them run their own galleries. I'll make a few calls later this week." He lightly squeezed the males' hand reassuringly.

"Micha understood why Samuel worked with digital but it simply wasn’t for him. He still preferred the classics and staying away from electronics. Micha was lucky to have his phone and computer at times. He didn’t really like working with his computer unless he had to. Micha barely liked using his phone but knew he had to use it. He watched as Samuel moved closer toward him. Micha smiled knowing it was likely that Samuel would find something. He felt Samuel take his hand as he watched him. Micha nodded as Samuel spoke as he reassured him as he squeezed his hand. He slipped closer toward the edge of the washer and slipped his legs around Samuel’s waist, ”Good, I trust you to find a place to suit our interests then.” Micha spoke smiling as he leaned forward and kissed Samuel’s lips happily. He let one kiss slip into another a few times before pulling back from Samuel’s lips as he smiled at him again. "

"As he pulled back from Samuel’s lips, Micha felt Samuel’s hands slip around his waist. He smiled as Samuel held onto him. Micha stared at Samuel as he spoke. He smirked lightly as Samuel finished speaking. Micha got the sense that Samuel simply just didn’t want to finish the date with such an end. He knew it seemed short; dinner and a viewing at an art gallery. Micha shrugged lightly at Samuel’s words, ”Hobbies depends all on my mood. Some days if I’m not working and I’m at home I usually spend time in my studio working on new pieces of art…or playing music…though if I get bored I might just ride the subway and just roam the city for a while.” He spoke as he thought about it. In a way, their first date was like their second date. Micha had already been to dinner with Samuel before but it wasn’t official a date. He slipped his hands up around Samuel’s neck as he thought about what more they could do. Micha didn’t really date much so he didn’t really know what to do. He sighed a little, ”Coffee isn’t so bad but perhaps if you’re feeling the need to want to stay around longer you can always just come over and spend the night afterwards.” Micha spoke smiling at Samuel. He figured it was only fair since he had spent the night at Samuel’s and it was the weekend after all. Micha figured it would be late once they finished anyways so he didn’t think Samuel would want to drop him off then have to rush home. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
Samuel didn't have any particular ulterior motives on his mind when he asked the male about what else he wanted to do. But apparently Micha thought he did. A cup of coffee at the end of the night was fine, but it was just so cliche'. He didn't like going on the same first dates all the time, he liked getting to know what his dates liked and find something else to avoid the standard dinner/movie/go out or come up for a cup of coffee. He listened to the male speak, not too surprised that his hobbies would vary so easily. Though they were few he thought they fit the male perfectly. "When you say you play music, do you mean you actually play an instrument or you pop a cd in and blare it til the cops tell you turn it down?" he replied, smiling down at the male. Either was fine with him, though he sort of hoped for it to be the first. It seemed so rare to find people who could pick up an instrument that wasn't a guitar, bass or drums. Not that there was anything wrong with those instruments, he had a thing for stringed instruments himself. But not as much as the Piano or an entire orchestra. Listening to classical music was something he delighted in his own time. He didn't like people interrupting him when he listened to it, especially when there was a song on that he really enjoyed. Pulling away from his thoughts, he nodded at the males suggestion, "That's very tempting, but I don't sleep with my partners on the first date." he replied softly.

"Micha wasn’t thinking other motives. He was simply just thinking of things to do. Micha didn’t think there was anything with coffee if Samuel wanted to have coffee. He figured they could always come up with something else later this week it was still the beginning of the week. Micha laughed softly as Samuel question him. ”Both I would say. Sometimes I play my piano other times if I’m working I might just play a CD.” He spoke as he watched Samuel. Micha enjoyed strings but only that of violins or cello but he didn’t play them. He only played the piano which was mostly self-taught. Micha stared at Samuel as he spoke. He released Samuel as he pulled away from him. Micha wondered if Samuel thought he was that easy or if Samuel thought he wanted to sleep together afterwards. He knew he had allowed Samuel to give him a blow job and had done the same for Samuel but that’s as far as he was willing to go. Micha tilted his head to the side as he watched Samuel slightly pissed by his words. ”Do you find me that easy Samuel?...Do you think that’s what I want from you?” He spoke as he stared at Samuel. Micha wanted an honest answer from Samuel. If Samuel believed all he wanted was sex in their relationship whatever it was than it could end right here. "

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
He smiled pleasantly as he was informed the male could play the piano. Samuel liked to think of himself as pretty good with playing the violin and cello. Perhaps if they could find a song they both enjoyed they could collaborate on something. It would be nice to put his instruments to use instead of keeping them locked up in the closet all the time. When spoke again, he knew he had chosen the wrong words. He sighed as the male pushed him away, turning around to face him. He could hear the coldness in the males voice, waiting patiently as he stared at him with waiting for an answer he wasn't sure he wanted to give. Samuel stood straight and put his hands in his pockets. "No I don't. At least I like to think you don't." he replied calmly. "But I've met my share of people and I don't let my instincts think for me. I was merely putting it out there, it's nothing to be offended about. If I wanted a whore I have a little black book, second second drawer left night stand stuffed inside a hollowed out bible." He sighed again, looking away now that he was annoyed. Samuel didn't understand why he needed to explain himself. It was the truth, whether it was sex or actually sleeping, he almost never slept over after a first date. No real reason behind, it just felt like the right thing to do. The dryer soon buzzed behind him, he looked over his shoulder then toward the male before moving out of the way and allowing him his space. Running a hand through his hair, he moved to the wall by the door to lean against it. He didn't know what to say. This wasn't his first time being in a situation like this, and even then he still hadn't learned his lesson.

"It wasn’t their first date but he hadn’t already spent the night at Samuel’s house. He didn’t see why it would make a difference if Samuel spent the night at his house. It wasn’t as if he planned to do anything but sleep and just simply enjoy Samuel’s company at his house. Micha watched Samuel as he slipped away from him and put his hands into his pocket. He couldn’t help but be annoyed by Samuel’s words. Micha wasn’t like all the other whores that Samuel slept with. He listened as Samuel spoke but as Samuel continued to speak his words only continued to get worse. Micha didn’t need Samuel explaining himself. As Samuel continued to speak, he felt like he was placed into the same category as Samuel’s little black book whores. He heard the dryer go off which was luck on his part. Micha watched as Samuel slipped away and leaned against the wall.
He climbed off the washer as he walked toward the dryer. Micha pulled his clothes out leaving Samuel’s clothes in the dryer. He didn’t care what Samuel did with his clothes. Micha set his clothes on the washer as he quickly stripped off Samuel’s clothes. He put on his warm fresh clean clothes. Micha ignored Samuel as he walked past him and left the laundry room. He walked through the house as he moved back toward the bedroom where he had changed his clothes the night before. Micha walked inside as he grabbed his phone, wallet and keys. He stuffed them into his pocket then left the bedroom. Micha started back through the house as he made his way toward the front door. He grabbed his shoes off the floor as he pulled them on and laced them up. Micha knew if he didn’t leave now he was likely to get into an argument with Samuel."

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."
He was getting nowhere with his words. It proved only how much he didn't know about normal people and properly communicating with them. He didn't understand why Micha was so upset and it was obvious he wasn't going to be told why either. He watched the male angrily undress from his borrowed clothes and into his now clean clothes. He wait a few moments to move from his spot before leaving the laundry room. He debated with himself about keeping his earlier promise to drive the male to the train station. Even if he did intend to keep it, he highly doubted that Micha would allow him to drive him. Pealing away from the wall, Samuel headed further down the hall, taking a hidden stairway up to the third floor to his favorite parlor room that overlooked the back garden. Inside the room, it was lined with overflowing bookshelves and held a baby grand piano and a small Victorian styled sofa. Walking towards the piano, he tapped a few keys, curious if the male might stay were he hear him playing. It was worth a try. After all it was Micha who was upset, not him.
Taking a seat in front of the keys, he ran through the short list of songs he knew in his head. Samuel was one for strings, he didn't have much talent in the piano. Thinking of the only song he was really good at, he placed his hands on the keys and began to play. His house wasn't soundproof and the door to the parlor was wide open. The melody filled the room and drifted through the third floor corridor. Whether Micha could hear or not he did not know. If he left now he'd be lucky if he even heard him. Samuel continued to play the whole song through, repeating it once more to get a feel for the piano. It had been so long since he played, he felt like a novice once more. Playing was calming in it's own way, he wondered if Micha knew this tune. Could they perhaps play together? The part was small, but there was a bit of strings in the piece as well. Closing his eyes and focusing on nothing but the music, Samuel let their conversation simply leave his mind. If this was how things were going to be between them then perhaps Micha was right to leave. After all they seemed to cause nothing but one misunderstanding after another.

"Micha knew he was overeating by getting angry at Samuel but it was simply his nature. He didn’t want to explain his reasons for why he was upset. Micha knew Samuel hadn’t meant to anger him but he was easily annoyed if the words were struck wrong. If Samuel were any other person he would have stayed to argue but he didn’t want to. Micha did that because he preferred not to argue with Samuel because he knew if he pushed it too far, than he was likely to destroy everything with a slip of the tongue. As Micha stood at the door, he heard the sound of the piano. He stopped in his tracks as he stood there. Micha sighed as he laughed softly; it appeared as if Samuel was trying to bait him with the piano. He hadn’t heard the song before but it still soothed him. Micha knew he couldn’t just walk away without talking to Samuel. He was always bad with his words. Micha preferred to run away than talk.
He slipped away from the door as he followed the sound of the piano. Micha moved through the house until he found Samuel sit at a grand piano. He stood at the door as he watched Samuel’s fingers dance across the piano keys. Micha looked around the room seeing the book cases but his eyes landed back toward Samuel’s back. He stepped away from the door as he walked toward Samuel. Micha slipped beside Samuel as he took a seat beside Samuel on his seat. He watched as Samuel’s fingers danced over the keys as he played. ”You know baiting will only work the first time.” Micha spoke softly as he started to calm down. He was still annoyed at Samuel but tried not to let it show. "
