Danya Kashin (Kashentsovs)

Danya spent his entire 16 years living by the principles his father drilled into him. He believed that a boy should be a boy: wear Adidas, fight in the courtyards, smoke behind garages, and pick up girls for the night. He hung out with a similar group of guys; they would pick out a lone, different guy on the street and intimidate him, beat him up, or worse. This mostly applied to emo and other subcultures considered "for women. "
But one day, Danya's mother was getting ready to visit her friend. It was already dark outside, and the walk was long, and their neighborhood wasn't exactly great. Danya walked her home. Svetlana, Danya's mother, spent the entire trip telling him about Lyuba's son: "He's a good boy, not wild, unlike some," Svetlana said, clearly alluding to her son. Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "Come and meet him. I already told Lyubasha you'll be with me!" the woman said firmly, brooking no objections. Even though Danya was a cheeky and impudent fellow, he tried to obey his mother so as not to upset her. The redhead planned to spend the entire evening on the phone and didn't want to meet any of "my mother's friend's sons," much less talk to them. So he just tsk-tsk and rolled his eyes, agreeing with his mother to visit her friend. The apartment was cozy, and they went into the kitchen. And so it happened. A couple of minutes later, a guy entered the kitchen. Compared to Dania, he was short, about 175 centimeters. He was emo, dressed all in black, with a skull-like sweater and black skinny jeans with holes at the knees. His hair was also black, cut short and styled so that the bangs covered half his face, leaving only one eye visible, as well as piercings in his nose and lip, with a ring in both. The guy calmly sat down at the table and said hello, and Dania's mother immediately started asking him about his studies, hobbies, and so on. Dania sat in a little shock; Ruslan disgusted him, with his style, his pretty face, and his soft manner of speech. This all didn't fit Dania's standards of a man. Well, a man can't look like that.
