Author's Note: My very first of many HanschenXErnst drabbles. I adore this ship! And more so I ADORE spring awakening! This is not only my first musical fic it's also my first slash ship! It's something different, which I love.

Bold will always mean Hanschen's POV

Italic will always mean Ernst's POV

ENJOY! R&R!

(1) As it should be

" I love you, Hanschen.."

"And you should.."

The unnatural, apathetic, response stung in Ernst's ears, the effort of making no visible reaction pulled at his mind. Not that Ernst would ever speak down to Hanschen in such a pointual expression, so he meekly twitched in response.

He couldn't understand it; it was so wrong but it had felt so.. Comfortable; the full potential of satisfaction being completed in those few moments of connection.

Pulled back to the present by an audible sigh from Hanschen, he smiled.

And he loved him.

It was as it should be.

End Drabble.

LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.

Let me know what you guys think!
