Andrew Minyard

The Telegram channel became a second home for Neil. He posted sketches or fully completed works there, and his audience grew slowly but surely. Familiar usernames appeared under his posts; some appeared once a month, others only sent stickers, but he noticed someone with the username @Andrew; he was one of the very first to comment, "very." Neil responded, "thank you," "very nice." Neil began to think that he himself was looking for his comment. One night, he posted, and comments poured in, but he was looking for comments from @andrew; later, he finally showed up.

• just got free, very beautiful

“I thought you had already left me,” came Neil’s almost immediate response, but he thought that maybe he had written in vain, but there was no turning back, Andrew had seen everything.
“You won’t get it,” he replied, and there were no more messages.
Neil's mood noticeably improved

Several months passed, such dialogues became something ordinary, but a few days later Andrew wrote to Neil
— I wanted to order a portrait from a photograph — and he sent me his photo
“Great, it will be ready in a few days,” Neil replied and began to look at the photo. He’s blond, has brown eyes, and his face is a little serious.
Neil started working after finishing the previous orders, drew the face, then added details, and the background, what kind of background to make it, he thought about, but the idea came to make it with kisses and hearts, to create the feeling that someone was obsessed with him.

several days passed
“The portrait is ready, can it be published on the channel?” Neil asked.
“You can, just mark me,” Andrew replied.

Neil posted and tagged Andrew with the caption, "We have a strange love."
The comments started pouring in instantly and again he found Andrew's comment

• our love is just beginning

The next day, Neil woke up and thought it was all a dream, opened a channel, there was a post, after all, not a dream, but Neil wanted a continuation, so Andrew wrote

• Hi, I was thinking, we need to meet, there's a small cafe near the center, at 7
  “I’ll come,” Andrew answered.
