#Thorsten playing the reasonable parent

[eolewyn1010]

I love your prompts! Could you please do "laundry day" with Thorsten/Sebastian for me?

Yet more laundry! I’ll take the opportunity to torture Sebastian with basic math.

Thorsten atmet erleichtert aus, als er das letzte Paar Socken zusammenrollt. „Wo kommt das ganze Zeug bloß her? Du hast doch nur zwei Kinder!“, beschwert er sich bei Sebastian.

Dessen Antwort überrascht ihn allerdings. „Kinder ist gut!“, faucht er. „Eigentlich sind die alt genug, um sich selber um ihren Mist zu kümmern!“ Damit wirft er schwungvoll die Tür der Waschmaschine zu, schaltet sie ein und rauscht hinaus.

Thorsten blinzelt. Was ist dem denn plötzlich für eine Laus über die Leber gelaufen? Es wird ja wohl kaum an der Wäsche liegen, oder? Bis auf eine Ladung sind sie nämlich durch.

Er schnappt sich den Korb mit den sauberen Socken und folgt Sebastian ins Wohnzimmer, wo der sich aufs Sofa zwischen ein paar Stapel sauberer Bettwäsche und Handtücher gepflanzt hat und offensichtlich schmollt. Thorsten verlagert einen Wäschestapel auf den Sessel, damit er sich neben Sebastian setzen kann. „Na, was ist los?“

Statt einer Antwort hält der ihm eine flache Pappschachtel hin. Kondome, offensichtlich.

Thorsten zieht eine Augenbraue hoch. „Du wirkst grade nicht so in Stimmung“, frotzelt er.

Sebastians Blick verrät unterschwellige Mordabsichten. „Die waren in Majas Jackentasche!“, sagt er anklagend.

Oh.

Tja.

Etwas peinlich berührt räuspert sich Thorsten. Klar, für ihn ist das auch… seltsam, mindestens; schließlich kennt er Sebastians Tochter seit ihrem Schuleingang. Aber, na ja. „Maja ist achtzehn…“, setzt er an und wird scharf unterbrochen.

„Siebzehn!“

„Siebzehn Jahre und elf Monate“, fährt Thorsten ruhig fort. Vielleicht würde er das weniger gelassen sehen, wenn Lilli so erwachsen geworden wäre, aber die Erfahrung fehlt ihm nun mal. „Warst du in dem Alter im Zölibat?“

Sebastian guckt verkniffen. Sein Gesicht bekommt einen zarten Rosaton. „Das tut hier überhaupt nichts zur Sache!“ behauptet er und knallt das Päckchen auf den Stubentisch. „Julia musste ihr Studium verschieben, weil sie früh schwanger geworden ist.“

Thorsten verdreht die Augen. „Daher die Kondome. Gratuliere; du hast deine Tochter anständig aufgeklärt.“

Sebastian macht ein Geräusch, das ungefähr wie „pffhnng“ klingt, verschränkt die Arme und lässt sich schwungvoll gegen die Armlehne kippen, wobei er auf den Handtuchstapeln landet, die Thorsten vorhin so sorgfältig zusammengelegt hat.

Vielleicht verliert er deshalb langsam die Geduld mit dem Zickenanfall. „Ach, komm. Maja beschwert sich doch auch nicht über dein Sexualleben.“

Sebastian erschauert sichtlich. Es ist schon beinahe lustig. „Sie sollte überhaupt kein…“ Er zieht eine Grimasse, bringt es aber offensichtlich nicht heraus. „…keins haben. Das Wort sollte überhaupt nicht im Zusammenhang mit ihr genannt werden.“

Thorsten versucht, die Wäschestapel unter Sebastians Rücken hervor zu manövrieren, scheitert aber; Sebastian bleibt unverrückbar liegen.

Entnervt lässt sich Thorsten einfach auf ihn fallen. Sebastian ächzt leise, als er auf seiner Brust landet, protestiert aber nicht, als Thorsten ihm ein paar Küsse auf Schläfen und Wangen drückt und ihm in den Haaren wühlt. „Kennst du ihren Freund denn?“

Sebastian zuckt die Achseln. „Sie hat ein bisschen von ihm erzählt. Klang wie ein netter Junge“, grollt er.

Thorsten gelingt es, die Hände unter Sebastian zu winden und die Handtücher vor einem knittrigen Schicksal in der Sofaritze zu retten. „Weißt du, es gibt viele Leute, die Sex haben und trotzdem ganz nett sind. Vielleicht fragst du sie einfach, ob sie ihn nicht mal zum Essen mitbringen will.“

„Das ist gar keine so schlechte Idee.“ Sebastian klingt schlagartig viel heiterer.

Argwöhnisch hebt Thorsten den Kopf – und verdreht angesichts des boshaften Lächelns die Augen. „Sebastian, nein…“

ChriKra did an amazing interview, I think they overran by an hour, but it was sooooo funny...!!! They had people ask him questions. Jonas Hofmann asked "Hi Chris, it's Jonas. I'd really like to know: Do you like your own dressing style?" and Chris replied Yes! He does! He's aware he's a very boring dresser, with his trousers and basic t-shirts and long-sleeve shirts, but he's comfortable and that's his priority. "I sound like I'm > forty, don't I? WHO CARES!" interviewers: So the others in the

dressing room have more swag?“ Chris "I mean *obviously*! Just look at Ibo Traoré! He can pull off *everything*! To be honest, I’d love to be able to wear that, all that glitz and glam and gold that he does, but if I tried that people would say ‘look at the lanky German, what does he think he’s doing?!” He says some nice and wise things as well, and spends a good deal gushing about Thorsten Mattuschka, which is so cute. “To me it was love at first sight!”

He also he says he currently “can’tstand Dieter Hecking” for benching him. The reporter’s obviously a bit shocked and CK says “That’s normal, isn’t it?” and says he and Hecking get on really well personally; though you can tell he’s really miffed, & that Hecking’s not giving him good reasons for it (Hecking was actually asked about that statement by Chris and said he understood him perfectly & that it definitely wasn’t Chris’ fault. A bit weird.) 

His former Bochum coach asks a question, Kießling and Leno, Lars and Ginter, Knippiand Mattuschka and a comedian and the ZDF presenter that he did the world cup stint with (Breyer, who starts out “Hi my favourite colleague, 1st question, when will you hang up your boots and join me full time?”). HAHA! He’s asked if there are people who just know him as TV pundit, not as a footballer, because apparently Mehmet Scholl mentioned that once. CK “Well I can say, my presenting went over well with the ladies over sixty. I’ve got many elderly ladies telling me know what a cute littlelittle thing I am. I trace that back to the ZDF work, rather than football…” Apparently the cashiers in the supermarket say that to him “And I have to say I love it, every time! It’s the best compliment!" BILD reporter "It’s obvious, by the way, that you are quite well liked by your teammates and other colleagues, since every single person we asked to participate and send in questions agreed to do so immediately. Well, one exception. We also asked Max Kruse and he said he'd do everything for Christoph Kramer, but not for BILD. Which, well, ok, fair play to him, I respect that." .... 

oh, he's still keeping that diary. Düsseldorf game entry goes something like "sat on the bench again and it sucked, really annoyed. On the other hand we won 3-0, still up in the table, yay." Also he does NOT complain constantly about not playing "that would be really shitty for my teammates who do play, wouldn't it?" and the atmo in the team's apparently great, and heloves them all. Would he rather play for Dortmund or for Bayern? Neither, he wants to stay in Gladbach. What was the best offer that he seriously considered before deciding against it? Ever since 2014 he's repeatedly been approached by Italian clubs and he did consider it once, during the season at Leverkusen, but then Gladbach contacted him and everything else became irrelevant. 

"You learned to play the guitar -" "No stop it, shut up, I didn't." "What?" "Well. I can't. I really tried but I... I can't. It really hurt on my fingers as well, I was so told it was supposed to, but no. You know, if you have ten lessons and still can't play a single chord, you have to face the truth: you're not made out to play the guitar. I'll take up piano lessons soon, but I'll fail that, too." "Is that really the spirit?" "Oh, I definitely won't be able to play two-handed, but, you know, maybe with one hand. Actually I just want to be able to say, "care to hear a song?" and then play one." "Oh, so we'llsee you on stage soon on the piano." "No, you definitely won't. I have not a single musical bone in my body. Probably once my football career is over, when I can focus all my energy and concentration on music, I'll try really hard and learn to play the recorder." HAHAHA. He's really quite funny. 

Leno asks why, even after he left, there was a pair of shoes of his hanging in some room of the Bayer 04 premises. And he gets all emotional: those were his FAVOURITE shoes! A pair of white adidas running shoes, he loved them so much. And he stepped in dog shit with them!! "So, dissolved in tears, I ran into the showers with them and spent ages trying to clean them, but the material, and the surface structure was such..." He couldn't get them clean. Or rather, they looked alright, but they still *smelled*. He should have thrown them away, but he *really didn't want to!!!* So he hoped that if they could just air out they'd be alright & so he hung them on a hook in some little back room."So if, by chance, anybody from Leverkusen is listening and, hoping against all hope, those shoes are still there: I'd REALLY like them back!! ...But you've probably long thrown them away and I really can't blame you..." He is soooo funny, and really likable. 

The thing with the podcast is that he gets a squeaky toy (or whatever) and when he doesn't want to answer he can use it, he gets that option 2x2 times (2 for each part of the podcast) and he does use it once. The reporter starts "A littlewhile ago someone tried to blackmail you with pictures - oh ladies and gentlemen, there it is-" "[squeak]" Do you want to hear more? The entire thing is priceless. To the interviewer's great surprise, he's recently taken up golf. "Yes, well, my parents are both newly retired and to stop them from bashing each other's head in spending all that time together at home, I had to think of sth I could do with my dad so I gave him golfing lessons for his birthday. And it's much more fun than expected.""What about your mum?" "Her birthday's not been yet. But I have to think of something. I hope I will." 

The first part is about sports, Gladbach, Bundesliga, fans/ultras, world cup 2014, world cup 2018, his career, the second part is more personal. I don't know how long it's supposed to be, but in the first part, at some point, the interviewer says "to be honest we've already run far overtime but I actually have no intention of stopping you, I'm having so much fun...". It's called phrasenmäher (pun on "Phrasen" and "Rasenmäher") and I'd never heard of it before, but going by the reactions on twitter, ChriKra's was the best one yet and much more entertaining than the previous one with Lahm twitter com/DreiMannSturm/status/1062081498998824960. It's really extremely entertaining! (They also talk about some serious stuff, btw. I was quite happy with the big majority of his responses. But all in all, he's really very likable!)

thank you for sharing this interview w me honestly chris is such a babe and i really like that his personality really comes through in interviews like these

also lmfao at max drawing the line at bild but it’s so nice to see that theyre still close

i cant believe he’s getting on the golf bandwagon

kinda wanna know wha the question about the pictures is about but if he doesnt wanna talk about it fair play to him

maybe i’ll take a listen though i probably won’t understand much so honestly massive thanks to u for making me aware of his interview n translating stuff for me (one day ..... one day i’ll be able to understand enough german to listen to interviews and read articles but for now i shall have to rely on u my lovely anon)

been a minute

this past weekend and these past few days have been long. one of the last things I remember is that I went to a party friday night. I saw John there and all of my other friends. it was good. we just chilled and played games outside. saturday, i went on a date to the trampoline park with warren. we then went and got food after and then went to his house to hangout. that was pretty fun. we just hungout with his neighbors and parents. on Sunday, I just chilled all day with Theo. Its so weird because he's one of the only people I can sleep around so I just took a fat nap and then we went to the dollar store to make goody bags for some elementary school kids he's teaching. I can't remember much happening Monday (yesterday). I had school and then my last driving class. today, I had my actual driving test and passed. we went to the DMV to get my license and they were closed for "confederate Memorial Day" uhhhhh. I've been talking to so many new people recently. I've been talking to toot, a new guy named Abe, Baz, and Thorsten. I don't really talk to Jace much anymore. After I hung out with him a few weeks ago, Andy told me that he doesn't really trust him with me and I know he wouldn't just say something like that. so, I've been trying to sort of not talk to him as much.

Toot: I've been talking to him a decent amount. I like him for some reason. We don't talk much/all the time, but he'll text me asking to call and seems to make time for me. He texted me friday night asking to talk and then called me Sunday. I appreciate his effort. I'm looking forward to seeing him in college.

abe: I'm not entirely sure my thoughts on him. I'm wondering if he's getting too attached to me. he seems like he likes me and stuff and has no problem expressing that. he also seems a little sad/lonely so I'm not sure. I would need to spend more time with him to figure him out.

baz: jesus, don't get me started on him. I like him so much and I can't explain it. I'm so attracted to him. I think he's attracted to me too. he literally makes me get butterflies and he has no idea. I look forward to getting texts from him, seeing him at school, all of it. he just AH. he just makes me feel like that. I don't know how he feels about me. I think he thinks I have feelings for him. I'm not really sure. I don't think I have romantic feelings in the sense of wanting a relationship.. just lust feelings I think.

thorsten: I could see him being in my life for awhile. he's already messing with my perspective on things. he's really into ancient cultures and vikings and things like that. I think its pretty cool actually. however, talking to him is messing with my head. I'm about to go to college and pursue the path of becoming a lawyer and working in the government in potentially politics. however, lately, I've just lost hope in modern society. I feel like everything is going downhill and I don't want to be apart of it. I just want to live in the mountains somewhere and work on cars and just live a simple life. my mind thinks I should go be a lawyer and work to help other people, but my soul knows I need to do this. I've always had this problem. I just don't know what to do. I'm sort of saying right now, I'll give it 4 years. I'll go to college in the city, get a glimpse of this life, and if I don't like it and the political atmosphere doesn't get any better, I'm either moving to another country or into the wooded mountains somewhere. I don't care. but I'm not just going to sit here and waste my life stressing on things I can't change. I want to be realistic here. I might be able to make a bigger difference as a teacher in a small town working on cars than I ever would running in circle as a small fish in a big city. maybe I'll move to another country. I just need to find a viable way to make money to be honest.
