April 12th, 1912, 8 AM

Otto woke up in the morning. Quite early as well. he made sure he could get out to go see Foxy again, he peaked out his bedroom door, his parents were still asleep, fast asleep, he could walk by them with ease, he quietly made his way out and lock the door behind him as he made his way back to the stern. and there he was, laying on his back and looking in the sky, the sunrise was truly beautiful. But it was a cold morning. Foxy then saw a familiar face.

"H-Hello sir" Otto said, he was nervous, but kept calm.

Foxy stood up "Otto, you're back, good to see you" Foxy gave Otto, a warm comforting smile. "part of me didn't think you would come back"

"I am indeed back.. ummm.. thank you for saving me last night from.. myself" Otto blushed a tiny bit, he was indeed nervous. He had never been close to a gay man that he knew before.

"Of course Otto, I'm glad I could assist you" he moved over so he could sit down.

"Oh, Danke," he smiled as he sat on the bench. " I wish we did meet on better circumstances than that.. it wasn't fair of me to put you in that position"

"Don't you Worry, I'm just glad you are safe" Foxy sat down "Tell me about yourself"

"Uh well.. I'm from a rich German family and we're moving to America for a bit, my mother is in the film industry and my father invest in railroads"

"well that sounds cool, I've wanted to be in a movie, i tried out acting but didn't enjoy it, so I went on to other stuff, like writing, but i also didn't enjoy that, i published a short story in a newspaper, but it didn't get attention"

"They say in America you can be anything you want to be. I sure hope that is true, because I don't want to inherit my father's business like he wants me to"

"Well, what do you want to do? instead of inherit your fathers business"

"Music. I'd like to make music, or art. Anything that is to create something new, go improve upon the natural state of this world and what goodness represents through nature and human existence"

"That sounds way more exciting, I love creativity, something I wish I could master in, I would love to see and hear your work"

"Huh, maybe I should sometime. We do have a couple more days out to see hah" Otto smiles. They both felt like they could actually talk to each other and be honest with each other.

"You are right, we probably won't see each other again, which sucks, but at least I know that there is more of us"

"Well.. I did plan on getting away from my parents once I got to America.. I can't see a reason why we can't team up?

Foxy smiles "You mean that? Oh man, I would love to have someone to travel with, especially someone so interesting"

"I'm.. flattered you find me interesting Foxy, thank you"

"Of course, Otto" the two of them glanced out to the sea.

"It really is cold out in the sea isn't it?" Otto said as they relaxed on the bench.

"It is, but, it is early morning, I'm sure it will warm up later today" Foxy looks out to the sea, nothing but ocean for thousands of miles, not another ship in sight. Foxy stood up, having an idea.

"Say, maybe you can give me a tour around first class? a special VIP pass huh?"

"Well uh, not in those clothes we can't. You'll stand out and you'll be kicked out.. but if we get you proper clothing I suppose I could"

"Oh that would be nice, think you can get me some? I will stay right here"

"I shall see. hold on" Otto smile and nods his head as he leaves to go and find him some suitable clothes, when he got to the cabin, his parents were getting ready for breakfast.

"there you are Otto, where were you?" Marie said, putting on her hat.

"I was taking a walk on the deck, and wanted to see the sunrise" he said smiling, truly happy, not for the same reasons as they would think though.

"Well, we are leaving for breakfast, 8-10, will you be joining us?" Wilhelm said.

"Sure thing, there is just something I have to take care of first if you don't mind!"

"oh, your father and I talked, we want to invite Foxy for dinner on the 13th, it was the only time he could join," Marie said.

"Oh that's lovely! I think it would be a great way to show our appreciation to him"

"Alright, well we will be in the dining saloon, I'm sure you will find us" she said as she and Wilhelm left, closing the door behind them.

"Phew.." Otto quickly looked through his closet. Foxy was a little bit bigger than him, physically but it should work. it looked good, he grabbed some clothes and looked on his bed, his sketchbook was there, he remembered Foxy said he would love to see his artwork. Otto had a better idea. With his parents gone. He could just bring him here. He quickly rushed back to the deck.

"Foxy, quickly followed me!" Otto said, taking his hand and leading him eventually to the first class floor, and into a room.

"Sorry to rush heh, my parents are gone and you said you wanted to see my artwork.."

Foxy stood there, looking at how fancy, how extravagant everything was "wow"

"Heh, I know it's great. But here, come" Otto took him to his bedroom and took the sketchbook off of the bed. " Good, now uh.. you should take those and store them in your room. You can switch into them later and then come up here whenever you like"

"I uh... don't have a room" Foxy chuckle nervously "But don't worry about that, I can change here"

"You don't have a room??" Otto was shocked to hear this news. "We have to get you a room! We can't have you sleeping outside!! What if it rains? Or storms!?"

"Hey" he turned towards him "I can handle it, don't you worry ok?"

"It's not right! You don't deserve that"

Foxy hold Otto's hands "I understand you being worried about me, but I've gone through a lot of stuff, I can handle a storm" he smiled.

"Alright, you get changed, I'll wait outside and we can walk on the deck" Otto said as he closed the door, part of him... wanted to watch, but it was to early for that kind of stuff, he waited outside, and sure enough, Foxy came out in the clothes, Otto couldn't help but stare, he was very handsome.

Very sexy.

"Well, are we ready, Otto?" Foxy said, noticing how Otto was staring.

"Uhhhh yes! Yes. come on" The two left the room and began walking up towards the deck, doing their best to avoid the grand stair staircase. Since it was packed, they reached the boat deck and began walking.

"So how come we aren't looking at your art in your cabin?" Foxy asked as they walked.

"Better lighting, natural light is always better in my opinion" Otto said as he opened up his sketchbook and handed it to Foxy, letting him look through at his own pace, a lot of landscapes. "Otto, these are extraordinary"

"Why thank you, I've been drawing for a long while. Especially when we travel to new places I like to draw"

He flipped through more, getting to living creatures "the detail in these are amazing, so real, like i could feel this humans skin"

"Mhm, he was a Gardner for our family's estate. He was really nice and then one day he disappeared"

"Well I hope he is doing well" Foxy kept flipping through, Otto then realized something, he had sketches of himself nude, Otto began to sweat.

"O-OH uh, by the way. You probably shouldn't look at any uh.. recent pages on here they uh.. aren't as good?"

Foxy stops flipping, a little taken back by the comment "what do you mean? I'm sure they are good as your other works"

"N-No they're uh.. revolting, absolutely disgusting and uh. Shouldn't be seen by anyone else's eyes"

"Oh come on don't be silly" Foxy said as he went back to flipping, Otto then reached for the book

"I'm sorry but I must insist you don't continue to flip the pages!" Otto almost manage to snatch it before Foxy hold the sketch book up in the air "Come and get it"

"Ah! You bastard! GIVE IT BACK!" Otto began jumping to get it back, Foxy put his hand on his face, keeping Otto far away as he tried grabbing for the book Foxy was laughing at, finding it cute.

"Don't flip those pages whatever you do! You won't like what you see!!"

Eventually, Foxy, let go of him "Hahah its cant be bad" Foxy flip the page, and there it was, a picture of Otto, he was lean up against a piano and sitting on a stool, it wasn't the piano in his room, he was nude and looking over his shoulder at the viewer.

"Gah no no no!!" Otto tried his best to snatch it out of his hand. Which was successful since he was in shock, it looked like he was still holding the sketchbook, Foxy gathered his thoughts and snapped out of it, he was blushing.

"W-wow" Foxy said, slightly smiling and blushing.

"I told you not to look!!" Otto was blushing too "Oh Verdamnant this is embarrassing.."

"No, no it's fine Otto... I'm kind of impressed on how you achieved such a angle"

"Well uh.. mirrors help.. why am I entertaining this discussion!" he closed the book "No more sketchbooks for you!" Otto said in a silly cute way.

"Aww you're no fun haha" he laughed as he leaned against the railing. "Otto.. you have a gift, don't you forget that" he smiled as Otto felt calm again "thank you. Foxy, thank you, Oh! My parents are inviting you to dinner tomorrow, does that sound good?"

"It sounds wonderful, I'm looking forward to it, I'm sure you're parents will find me... charming" Foxy chuckled "I'm going to head back down to the bow, you're parents will be wondering where you are"

"Scheiße, I forgot about that," Otto laughed. "Does 7 PM sound good to pick you up?"

"Sounds good" Foxy reached out his hand to shake it, Otto took it and shook it as well

"I'll see you tomorrow, Foxy"

Foxy smiled as he continued walking towards the bow, Foxy looked back at Otto, Otto was smiling back, they both already missed each other.
