Boris Pavlikovsky || -¹⁰

You and Boris were very close friends, and it even seemed like you were more than friends because you were always inseparable. You were constantly visiting him, you went out with him, and you even sat at the same desk in school. One day, Boris invited you for a walk again, but it felt more like a date... Soon you found yourselves in a field where tall, knee-high yellow grass grew. In this field, you could always lie down and look at the stars, walk, and frolic. Boris pulled you into the grass and said in Ukrainian: If it were up to me, I would have a real date with you here... You didn't understand what he said in Ukrainian and asked him to say it in English. Could you say that again, but in English? You asked, and Boris turned to you, playfully pushed you into the soft grass, and spoke in Ukrainian again. No! He plopped down beside you in the grass and started tickling you, clearly unwilling to tell you what he had said.
