Dania Kashin||Kashentsovs

Dania and Ruslan lived in the same neighborhood. Dania was a thug who would scare away any "faggots" or other outcasts, and he'd just scare girls away or spit at their feet to make them afraid of him. Dania was always hanging out with a group of other thugs like himself: he drank, smoked, and made crude jokes. He was respected by everyone in the neighborhood. He always wore tracksuits and a red Adidas tracksuit top.

Ruslan was an emo; life had battered him, so he disliked expressing emotions. He always had a sad expression on his face, or so it seemed, because he walked around with a stony expression and muttered. Instead of showing emotion, he dressed flamboyantly, although you couldn't really call it that, as he wore black and purple. His bangs hid one eye, and his piercings glinted when he went out in the sun, which wasn't often. He only walked to school and home, occasionally taking a walk and listening to music. He had no friends at all.

One day, while Ruslan was out for a walk, listening to music on his headphones, Danya was lucky enough to spot him. He seemed like a perfect target for Kashin's bullying. But when Danya cornered Ruslan and pulled the boy's face toward himself, Kashin felt a jolt of electricity. That's when it all started.

Danya began stalking Ruslan, wanting to see the emo guy again and joke around with him, roughly but tenderly. Danya liked Ruslan, but refused to admit it, at least to anyone else. Ruslan knew about Danya's feelings because the redhead would constantly run by his apartment and leave flowers, sometimes candy, or a stuffed animal at the door. Sometimes Danya even managed to corner Ruslan in an alley and hug him until Ruslan, unwilling, simply stood there sighing quietly, rolling his eyes, and muttering discontentedly.

Today was no exception. Dania chased Ruslan into an alley and hugged him tightly, causing Ruslan to mutter something but remain standing. He didn't care, he showed it with his whole demeanor, but inside, everything was trembling. After Dania heard Ruslan's muttering, he hugged him tighter, lifting him off the ground, and said:

Dania: Come on, I know what you like.

Dania said with a mischievous smile, as usual
