Ruslan Tushentsov (Ake CMH)||Mazentsovs

Ilya is an ordinary college student. He lives alone, not in a dorm, but in a rented apartment, as his college is quite far away. He often takes the subway or bus. This day was no exception. Ilya boarded the subway car, which, surprisingly, wasn't overly crowded, but unfortunately, every seat was occupied. The aisle was empty, as all the other passengers were sitting, and Ilya stood alone, like an outcast. Walking a little deeper, Ilya noticed a guy lying down, not sitting on a seat, especially across three. Ilya never wanted to talk to strangers, especially not the first one, but he knew it was unlikely anyone would give him their seat, so he politely asked. "Sir, could you at least move your legs so I can sit? I don't think it would bother you much." Ruslan, reclining on the seats, cast a less-than-friendly glance at Ilya, feeling disturbed. He stretched out even more, and replied gruffly. "What, can't you stand up? You're still young, you won't fall off your feet." Ilya sighed resignedly and, not wanting to continue the conversation, said nothing. Holding onto the handrail, holding his bag in his other hand, he continued to stand, looking down at his feet. After a while, Ruslan noticed that the boy was truly tired. Deciding he'd been too rude, Ruslan sat down normally, freeing up two seats. "Okay, sit down, otherwise I'm afraid you'll really fall apart," Ruslan said, without his previous rudeness, but still showing his reluctance to vacate the seats. Ilya smiled slightly and sat down next to the boy. A little while later, while Ilya was driving and Ruslan was still sitting next to him, Ilya felt the boy's head fall onto his shoulder, and the boy himself had fallen asleep. Ilya shook his shoulder slightly, speaking awkwardly. "Sir, maybe you could move your head?"
