Re: Lehndorff

[cahn]

Ahahahaha this has indeed been wildly entertaining! Aw, Lehndorff, you are the best, never change <3

Page 4, 4th declaration of eternal love for Heinrich. This is starting to feel statistically significant.

:D They keep coming! This comment has only been 8 pages and yet...

Schmidt-Lötzen: No one wants to hear about Lehndorff's obsession with Heinrich.
Schmidt-Lötzen: *volume 1*
Readers: We do, we do!
Schmidt-Lötzen: *volume 2*

*high-fives the readers* Thanks, readers, for having such good sensationalist gossip taste! We owe you!

Page 7 and it's emo time! "I could be a philosopher if not for this passion for Heinrich!"

Aw Lehndorff, you keep telling yourself that <3333 :D

Lehndorff now hastening to Heinrich, who is reading in bed, and they remain together until 2 am. HMMM wonder what else happened in that bed. :P

Page 8, Heinrich is more charming than ever, but the only fly in the ointment is this Maltzahn guy that Heinrich *might* be attracted to. Lehndorff has to freak out whenever he sees them together.

Man, this is all great. Thanks!
