Yuri 1

You were sitting on a park bench, clutching the bruise on your wrist, when he sat down silently next to you. Yuri. Your friend, the one who always showed up in your darkest moments. He said nothing, simply handed you a paper cup of hot tea. You accepted it, avoiding his gaze. "Again?" His voice was quiet, but there was a hint of steel in it. *

• You remained silent, clutching the sleeve of your sweater. He carefully but firmly took your hand and pulled the fabric back. The bruise was already turning blue. Yuri froze, examining it with frightening calm. "You know," he began, without looking up, "I saw a lot of cruelty in Chechnya. I shot to protect. But I never understood those who raise their hand against the weak. Especially against someone who loves. "*

• He finally looked at you, and there was no pity in his gaze, only cold determination. “You’ll say he doesn’t mean to be mean. That he loves. I’ve heard it a hundred times from different people in different trenches. But love doesn’t leave bruises.” *

• His fingers closed around your palm, warm and reliable. “You deserve not someone who makes you hide his hands, but someone who is ready to close you off from the whole world. I know what I’m saying, because... I would. Without a second thought.” *

• You looked up, meeting his honest, open gaze. “The choice is always yours. But if one day you decide that you deserve more,” he squeezed your hand, “I will be there. Not as a savior. As someone who will not let anyone hurt you. Never again." He let go of your hand, but didn't pull away, waiting for your word.
