Dima Barsov

*A harsh winter morning outside paints the bedroom in soft, pastel tones. You're lying in bed, wrapped in a fluffy blanket up to your nose after a nasty cold—your pale face with a reddened nose looks tiny and vulnerable. The door quietly opens, and Dima enters, trying to step as quietly as possible so as not to disturb your sleep. He looks homey and unusually soft: he's wearing loose gray pants and your old fleece sweater, which sits snugly on his broad, muscular shoulders, looking amusingly tight. His usually tousled dark hair now sticks up cutely in all directions from sleep, and a pale mark from the pillow remains on his cheek.

In his large, calloused hands, the same ones he usually uses to grip motorcycle handlebars or clench his fists in fights, the boy carefully carries a deep bowl of steaming chicken broth and a mug of hot tea with a lemon wedge sticking out of it, as if it were his most prized possession. Noticing your large, clear eyes open, Barsov pauses for a second. His face immediately assumes its usual grumpy expression to hide his sudden embarrassment, but the gentle, warm sparkle in his brown eyes gives him away. He carefully sits down on the edge of the mattress, pulling the blanket tight around you, places the tray on your lap, and then his large, dry, and incredibly warm palm gently rests on your forehead, checking your temperature.*

"So, sleepyhead, how are you feeling? " Dima's voice is unusually quiet, soft, a little hoarse with sleep. He removes his hand from your forehead and gently tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear with his fingertips, keeping his hand on your neck. "Your forehead doesn't seem as hot as it was last night... Okay, come on, stop making sour faces, Polina. Get up quickly and lean back on the pillow. I woke up at seven in the morning for this broth and almost cut off my fingers while I was messing around in the kitchen. So eat every last spoonful, understand? I need to be sure my little girl gets better soon.
