Now I'm sure of it: I love you.
And I wanna live with you.
Please, don't leave me!

Chapter 1 Just the two of us
-Episode 1- A new beginning
This is me, Maykel Stone, 1 year old.
Well, maybe we don't need to rewind that far.
Let's skip some years.
Here! I'm 26 and I'm a Public Relations agent.
It all started last December.
I started my company and everything was fine.
There was just one problem in my love life.
And this is the day everything went wrong.
As usual, I was going to work with Isobel Devreaux.
She's an analyst.
On the way, we used to talk about intellectual things.
You believe in paranormal but not in that?
There is no such things as UFOs.
Funny. You're faking skepticism.
What do you mean?
You're not really skeptic.
My ideas are crap?
- You have a skeptic system... - Septic system?
We should talk about smarter things.
- It's here. - Your new job?
- My own company! - First day?
I already have a first client... err... patient.
I'm not sure I'm ready.
A patient before the opening?
A colleague sent it to me.
The patient only want to talk to a woman.
Are you authorized to talk about him?
Mayki, it's different between you and me!
We know everything about each other.
Every gay needs a fag hag.
- Lunch together? - Sure!
See you!
Finally!
- I didn't know what to take. - Should I say it?
So funny in the morning.
- Everyone says I'm funny. - No, just you.
Wait!
I don't accept any proposal.
I just check if I have everything.
Johannes Zimmermann, 19 years old, man of my life.
Of German origin, he lives in Strasbourg where he studies.
Our relation is complicated. I'll explain later.
And this is Arne Engel, his best friend.
A guy who loves sex.
I'm tired of being late every morning.
I'm ready.
My first patient and already a mistake!
- That was embarrassing. - You should knock!
- It was meant to be a surprise! - Success.
Having sex with my patient...
And this guy is not divorced, just separated!
It was your first patient... Try again!
Ok, not the right word.
Anyway, I sent him to a colleague.
So, and your job?
Not bad.
With all your money, why is your apartment so... poor?
I feel good here.
It's good for a student.
I was student five months ago.
I could change some things.
All this white looks like an hospital.
You want pink walls?
Purple would be nice.
But again, with your money, take a bigger apartment!
I don't need a huge apartment like you.
Right, it's too big for me. I need a roommate.
Be my roommate!
A gay and a fag hag can't live together.
It works for Will and Grace.
- It's a show. - We are in a show too.
Life's a show, and we all play our parts.
I've heard that somewhere...
I'm not ready to live with someone.
- I know. - What?
- Nothing. - Say it.
- Johannes and you. - Again!
He is here for months now.
You decided to go slowly, live alone first, and all the shit.
We need to be sure.
But he is here for five months!
And nothing?
When was your last kiss?
- When he came back. -What are you waiting for?
If you love him, you should be with him.
- I'm hungry. - As always.
But I stay thin. You're disgusted, right?
Disgusted by your sex stories, not your way to eat.
What about your sex stories?
- Nothing. - Even with Maykel?
- I can't remember. - What?
Last time we had sex was... I even don't remember.
If you are not with Maykel... still single?
I want to prove him that I love him.
This shit is for dramas!
Like it or not, it's my life.
Don't you think that five months are a long wait?
Well...
Free the chaser in you!
Noone could resist you. If Maykel does, he doesn't love you.
And if...
Be honest, you can't wait forever.
No...
But that's what you do.
I love him!
You love him, he loves you, but who does the first step?
- Fuck! You gave me an idea! - What?
- You're a genius! - Me?
- Maykel has to be jealous! - Uh...
If he sees me with another guy, he'll do the first step!
Or, like last time, he'll think you're cheating on him.
Cheating works only if we are together, but we aren't.
- Right. - You're a genius!
Maykel has to be jealous!
What happened, here?
I'll give you my opinion.
And know that I'm always right.
True fact.
Johannes doesn't love you.
- What? - Think about it.
Johannes always gets what he wants.
- Me too. - But you're shy, not him.
- And then? - As I said:
He made no effort recently to have you back.
So, maybe he thought about it,
and he doesn't love you anymore.
Doesn't love me?
I'm sure he has someone else.
Someone else?
You have to find a new boyfriend.
- A new... - Stop repeating me.
Not my fault, I'm shocked!
Just keep that in mind, Mayki:
it's time to chase some boys.
Here is the moment my love life went wrong.
If I had known that Isobel is not always right...
