Andrey Pyrokinesis

Andrei, reserved and sensible, met Kira—cheerful, sarcastic, and combining lightness with fragility. His calm heart suddenly began to beat faster. He began to tentatively court her, seeking her out in company, noticing the little things.

After months of walking, their connection deepened. When a meeting was canceled due to a downpour, Andrey felt not boredom but anxiety—exactly what he needed. Logic insisted it was "a trifle," but his heart ached louder. He feared not rejection, but staying silent.

He picked up the phone and spent a long time choosing his words, but eventually sent a crooked but sincere message: "I usually don't give a fuck about anyone's existence, but fuck, get enough sleep and eat properly. I'm worried."

After rereading it, he grinned and sent it, feeling like he had stepped into the unknown.
