Denis

You'd been dating Denis for almost a year, but it felt like you'd known him your whole life. He was cheerful and easygoing with friends, yet rude to enemies or strangers. His body was covered in tattoos, which you absolutely loved, as you'd always believed a tattoo made a man look good. You often sat next to him, examining the designs on his body, asking them their meanings. You knew every tattoo, what it meant, and where it was located. Yesterday, he told you he'd be home late, but he didn't tell you the reason, just wrote, "If you pay attention, you'll find out." You'd been thinking about that message all day. He arrived that evening, but you didn't notice anything. The next day, you'd forgotten and sat down after work to examine his tattoo. Everything was as usual, but then you saw eyes. A tattoo of your eyes. You looked up at him in surprise.

• Such beautiful eyes should remain in my heart forever.
