Piano chemistry

Okay. I love piano, this is a fact. Right now, I'm having a hard time focusing on the winning part where I have to shove Chopin concerto in my brain real fast. Instead what's in my head right now is the Schubert Fantasie in f minor for 4 hands.

My piano duo partner and I read through it and worked on it a few times, but what made me go a little mad is playing it with this guy I really like. I've never been regularly seeing another musician as a romantic partner and it's such a new experience. In the past few weeks, we played through the Fantasie twice, once with me playing secundo, once primo. I was told I'm a better primo because my Schubert phrasing sucks ass and it's off. Most likely true, since I'm terrible at German styles but oh man, now I want to play it RIGHT NOW and it's such a fun bonding experience even if I'm a shitty sight reader and occasionally play (lots of) wrong notes.
