Disclaimer: I do not own Spring Awakening
(Melchior and Moritz in Melchior's room, italics are Melchior's thoughts.)
"Oh Melchi I...I just don't get it" Stammered Moritz
"Get what?"
"Well you know how everything......"
"Measures up?"
"Yes Melchi, I...I don't get any of it" Sighed Moritz overwhelmed with confusion.
"What do you mean; do you want me to write another essay?"
"No it's not that, I....I just don't understand how to be with a female."
"What do you mean Moritz?"
"Well.... what if I don't want to be with a female"
"Then you want to be with the male?" asked Melchi "I've only thought of that a little."
"But the bible says it's a sin." Stated Moritz
"That doesn't mean it can't or doesn't happen"
"But how does everything.....you know measure up?" whispered Moritz.
"It doesn't" replied Melchi.
"Oh....umm....it's getting late....I'd...I'd better go" replied Moritz running off
"Moritz, Moritz...." Melchior called after him.
"Has Moritz gone?" Asked Frau Gabor.
"Yes Mother"
"Well his does look awfully pale, I wonder is that Faust really the best thing for him?"
"If you want to let me be a free thinker then why are you trying to influence my decisions? I am capable of choosing what books I read." Thought Melchior rather annoyed with his mother's comment.
Melchior pulled his journal out of his desk drawer and sat down on his bed.
"The question today is male sex. How does it work? I can't say I've never thought about it and wondered what it would be like. But I truly did think I was the only one who had these feelings. We do spend most of our time with our own sex so it is only natural that with time friendships would turn into something more. That we would begin to love. But how? The same way as the woman? It would be interesting to find out but I don't know if Moritz has these feeling for me and if he does...then it turns out I don't.....he's already so distort I couldn't bare to see him hurt anymore. Maybe I should just ignore these feelings.... unless Moritz does something about them. Unless his says something about them. But then what do I say....
"Melchi, it is well past your bed time" Said Frau Gabor.
"Yes Mama" said Melchi being cut off in the middle of his thought. He wanted nothing more then to stay up all night writing, trying to make sense of these feelings. He truly hoped Moritz was able to get some sleep.
