was flying through the air in slow motion. He couldn't hear the noise around him anymore. All he could do was stare after the ball and wait. He was frozen on the spot when he finally realised he had done it. Alex had scored in the 90th minute and Germany had won the World Cup.
As he started to grasp what had just happened, he could hear the noise around him again and it was even louder and more intense than before. Alex saw the endless sea of flags waving across the stadium, he could hear the fans singing and cheering and going insane with excitement. As he turned around, he saw his team storm towards him with open arms. But he was only interested in one person. Alex ran away from the boys, making them chase him around the whole pitch, soaking up the applause, the noise, the screams. Suddenly he had become their hero.
Then he was finally about reach him. Tom was waiting for him, beaming with his arms open wide and Alex fell into them. He lifted Tom high up in the air. 'You did it!' Tom shouted and held his head. And once Alex had set him back down and the boys were beaming at each other, he couldn't help himself. Alex kissed his friend. Right in the middle of the pitch. The stadium went wild. The boys only had seconds until their team mates had caught up with them. All of them jumped on top of each other in a frenzy, burying both boys underneath them in a pile as they were celebrating their victory for their team, for their country and for Alex and Tom.
The photo of the boys' kiss spread like wild fire and was published around the globe. It became symbolic for victory but also for a new dawn in football. The boys had succeeded in playing themselves into the hearts of people from all around the world. Germany celebrated their love just as much as the team's success in the tournament. Football fans across the country felt nothing but pride and respect for their new born heroes. And the boys were an important step closer to finally being who they always wanted to be.
Just two boys. Madly in love with each other.
