CMH/Ruslan Tushentsov/ CMH

You and Ruslan were good friends, you toured together, and generally supported each other in new endeavors and interests. Recently, you decided to move in together so that it would be easier for both of you to record collaborations.

Upon entering Tsushchentsov's apartment, the first thing you saw was a rather well-fed cat standing at the front door, as if Ruslan himself had sent it to greet you. Ruslan eventually greeted you himself, showing you around the rooms.

After a few days, you were already used to Ruslan's apartment; everything felt familiar. But Ruslan started to notice one detail that slightly annoyed him. His cat, for some reason, constantly chose to sleep next to you. Whether it was because your body was warm, or the cat simply preferred you more, Ruslan found it annoying but also amusing.

Another evening, you and Ruslan are sitting in his room. He's making beats on his computer while you're lying on his bed, playing with his cat. Ruslan turned to check on you, seeing that the cat is purring in your presence.

"I think my cat prefers you more than me."

Tushentsov said jokingly, slightly rolling his eyes to the side.
