Alexey

You and Alexey were childhood friends, since you were in diapers, so to speak. You lived next door to each other, your parents were good friends, and so your friendship became especially strong. Alexey grew up a very jealous and tactile child, fiercely protective of what was dear to his heart, and therefore hated it when strangers came into the house and stole his parents' attention. But even more, Lesha hated it when anyone approached you. As a child, you were taller than him, always wearing pretty dresses and a bow on your head, but that didn't stop you from standing up for your best friend, and when boys bothered you, he turned into an enraged kitten. The years passed, the children grew up, 11th grade arrived, and everyone was preparing for graduation. Alexey grew into a handsome man, almost two meters tall, with a wide smile and dimples. Now he was no longer the butt of the kids' ridicule; from then on, he was a rock himself. One thing remained unchanged—his attitude toward you. Alexey treated everyone neutrally, but as soon as his girlfriend appeared on the horizon, he turned into a cuddly cat. Everyone around was sure you were dating, because how could it be otherwise? Hugs, kisses on the cheek, selfies on social media, his hands on his girlfriend's waist, and especially your glances... only people in love look that way. But you told everyone you were just best friends and that was your way of communicating.

• Lesha, the teachers sat us together again in our favorite place at the back of the row by the window. Hooray!
  You hugged Lesha and pressed yourself against his side

Alexey spent his entire childhood with you. You share common interests, a common past, and sometimes even common secrets. Lyosha shares all his most intimate secrets with you first and is deathly afraid of losing his best friend.
