📚| Ilya Koryakov / mzlff / Kamaz / Kashellovy

If Ilya looks at Dania as a "problematic idiot," then Kashin looks at Koryakov as a "personal nerd who keeps everything in order."

Danya is a master of provocation. He deliberately leaves his socks behind, forgets to wash his mug, and shows up late just to see Ilya's eye twitch. That's his game. He wouldn't do it if Koryakov didn't react. For Danya, Ilya's reaction is a one-man show, the best content in his life.

In fact, Danya knows perfectly well that without Ilya, he'd be sleeping in a dirty puddle, hiding behind a newspaper, and moving out of the dorm for debt. But he'll never say it outright. His gratitude manifests itself in small ways:

· He loudly, demonstratively and confidentially leans on Ilya when he is in a bad mood, and purrs something meaningless.

When Ilya comes home tired after class, Dania (suddenly, for no reason) makes him some tea with lemon, puts the mug down and silently stares at his phone, pretending that this is how it should be.

Danila considers Ilya one of his own. If someone at university speaks negatively of Koryakov (like he's a nerd or a bore), Danila can suddenly become aggressive.

He loves to joke around with Ilya, but if Ilya gets into real trouble, Kashin wakes up, mobilizes and does everything to help, even getting up at 6 am himself (this is considered a feat) or going to the library (an even greater feat xD).

Fatalist-optimist, idiot..

He lives by the principle: "What will be, will be, and if it doesn't, then don't bother." Exams? He'll pass them somehow. Money? He'll find it. Is Ilya angry? He'll get over it. This trait simultaneously saves and infuriates Koryakov.

1. The Charismatic Lazy Man. Danya isn't stupid—he's smart, but lazy. He grasps information quickly, but he gets bored learning things that don't interest him. So, in 10 minutes, he can come up with an idea Ilya spent three hours working on, and he'll be right, but he'll do it with an air of obviousness.

2. An empathic diplomat. He has an incredible sense of people. He senses Ilya's mood even before he opens his mouth. So he teases Koryakov just enough to make him explode, and always manages to turn everything into a joke.

3. Childish possessiveness. Danya feels like the whole world owes him, not like a capricious child, but like a beloved cat. He's not ashamed to ask for money or steal food from Ilya, because "we share the same room." He's convinced that Ilya is an integral part of him, like a iPod or a pillow—one that doesn't require gratitude, but life would be boring without it.

Danya's voice is high-pitched, husky, and has a perpetual morning sluggishness. He lisps slightly on the "r" when he's in a hurry or nervous.

His speech is slow and drawn out, like chewing gum he's picked out from under a desk. He likes to use filler words: "Well... sort of...," "So, Ilyukh...," "Damn, huh?..." These fill the gaps in his thoughts. He speaks as if he's always a little drunk or sleep-deprived, but that's just his natural relaxedness.

Favorite phrases:

· “Ilyu-u-uh, why are you like this...” he drawls the vowels.
· "Who cares, it'll work."
· "I'm going to bed, I'm tired, I'm not going to apologize, fuck it."

Dania is the embodiment of "flow." He moves smoothly and lazily, like a large cat. His gestures are sweeping, sometimes awkward, and he's always bumping into the corners of the table, dropping mugs and looking at them in surprise, as if they'd just jumped to the floor.

His facial expressions are very lively, despite his eternal sleepiness.

· If he doesn't understand something, he frowns and purses his lips.

· If he is surprised, he opens his eyes wide (this is rare, for him “nothing is surprising”).

· If he gets angry (which happens very often), he starts snorting and blushing to the roots of his hair, and does not cool down for a very long time.

He often scratches the back of his head or rubs his neck when caught off guard. He always sits in a slouched manner, crossing his legs, or even sprawled out on the bed, with his head and leg dangling over the edge.

If Ilya is minimalism, then Dania is “what was at hand” and “what smells acceptable.”

· Favorite things: oversized hoodies in bright colors (because of his red hair, he wears mint, burgundy, or dark green - it screams), jeans stretched out to the point of being "grandfather-sized," or cargo pants with coffee stains.

· T-shirts - always with ironic prints: either 90s rock bands or colorful striped ones.

· His wardrobe is 70% made up of things he forgot to return to Ilya, so you can often see Koryakov’s T-shirt on him, which fits baggy, but Dana doesn’t care.

His shoes are old Converse (dirty, with worn-out heels), which he wears year-round, even in the rain. He prefers to go barefoot indoors or wear wool socks with holes (Ilya secretly mends them, but Danya doesn't notice).

His things are always in a "creative mess": his shoelaces are untied, his hat is pulled askew, and in his pocket there is a non-working lighter found on the way to college.

Danya is Ilya's polar opposite in energy, but not in build. He's slightly taller than Koryakov, but he slouches, making them seem level. His main weapon is his hair. It's a bright red (not dyed, but natural, with a coppery tint), and it always sticks out in all directions, as if he's just gotten out of bed, even if it's already evening. The strands are frizzy and resist gel or water.

Danil has a roundish face with soft features. His cheeks flush slightly with cold or embarrassment. His bulbous nose is dotted with freckles that become more intense in summer. His eyes are a sickly color, with a permanent sleepy squint. His eyelashes are thick but light-colored, making his gaze seem either absentminded or cunning.

Kashin's smile is crooked, slightly askew. When he laughs, his eyes narrow to two slits, and he wrinkles his nose comically. Overall, there's not a shred of "adult seriousness" in his appearance; he's a perpetually silly teenager who just woke up from a party and is happy about it.

Their relationship is a perfect balance of opposites, playing on the "smart guy and lazybones" stereotype, but with a deeper subtext.

Ilya acts as a "strict but fair mother" to Dana. He grumbles, nags at her for unfinished homework, and snorts at her scattered socks, but at the same time:

· Always leaves Kashin's food in a container if he knows he'll sleep through breakfast.

· Quietly (but insincerely rudely) gets him the right tickets for the exams, because “I can’t watch you fail because of your stupidity.”

Ilya secretly admires Dania. While Ilya spends his evenings cramming, the redhead manages to find adventure, relax, and somehow pass his exams (getting Cs, but passing). For Ilya, Dania's ease with life is a kind of magic he can't explain logically, and that's what infuriates him most.

Ilya has become accustomed to Dania being his responsibility. If someone touches Dania's things (in a good way) or he spends too much time with others, Ilya begins to behave passive-aggressively: he becomes colder in his interactions, or deliberately leaves for the library without warning.

He's not jealous like someone in love (although you can interpret that aspect however you want, lol), but like someone who has invested too much energy into him and doesn't want to lose control of him.

What else does Ilya say?

· Irritation (overslept again)..

· Concern (get up, otherwise you’ll be late, I’m worried).

· Hidden tenderness (you are the only one I allow to stink of socks in my purity).

· And, of course, a slight superiority (I stood up, I’m a good guy, but you’re not).

Ilyukha will stand and wait for Danil to open his eyes, never leaving the bed, because he knows that if he turns away, Danil will simply roll over and go back to sleep. Ilya is the anchor that keeps this red-haired idiot afloat, even if he doesn't admit it.

1. A perfectionist with straight-A syndrome. For Ilya, a "good" grade is a source of frustration, not joy. He lives by the paradigm of "perfect or nothing."

2. The Inner Controller. It's physically painful for him to watch the chaos. He's not a dictator, though; he simply tries to fix things quietly and discreetly to avoid conflict. But his gaze, when he sees Danya's unwashed mug on his desk, speaks louder than words.

3. Responsible. If he promised to take out the trash, he'll take it out at 7:02 a.m., even if it's -20 degrees outside. This isn't about discipline, it's about honoring your word.

4. The Anxious Planner. He goes to bed already knowing what he'll be doing the next day at 11:30. His roommate's spontaneity throws him off-kilter, but that's precisely what Ilya subconsciously appreciates about him.

Ilya's voice is low, with a slight rasp (a consequence of endless coffee mornings). He speaks clearly, but often with a sarcastic intonation that softens his patronizing tone.

Favorite phrases: "Fuck," "Don't be stupid," "I told you so." He rarely raises his voice, preferring to kill with cold logic. But in moments of genuine surprise or joy (for example, when passing a difficult exam), teenage slang slips into his speech, which he immediately swallows back, embarrassed, not to embarrass himself, but to Dania.

Ilya moves quickly and economically. His gestures lack unnecessary amplitude; he seems to be always calculating his trajectory one step ahead. His facial expressions are restrained: mostly a slight squint (when he's thinking) or a raised eyebrow (when he hears something stupid).

When he speaks, his fingers tap frequently on the tabletop, keeping time with his own thoughts. He gives the impression of being constantly in a hurry, but it's not a frantic rush, but a purposeful one.

· Favorite things: Basic dark t-shirts (with prints, but not too distracting), slightly tight, but not too tight, and skinny jeans.
· Outerwear is always a dark-colored hoodie (charcoal, dark blue) or a light parka, which he wears unbuttoned.
· Shoes - white sneakers, which he hopelessly tries to keep clean, and black high-tops.
His only "accessory" is a smartwatch that vibrates to remind him of deadlines. He wears thick wool socks in his room because the dorm is cold, and saving on heating is his principle.

Ilya is a classic nerd with a modern twist. He's short, with a lean but toned frame, the result of keeping his back straight and a couple of reps on the pull-up bar before bed. His face is framed by neat but thick black hair, which he either wears casually or hides under thin-framed glasses when he's too lazy to bother.

His skin is fair, but not sallow, more like a library's. His glasses make his gaze seem sharp and slightly stern, though in reality he's simply nearsighted. He always has a light stubble on his chin and above his lip, which he forgets to shave in the mornings when he's in a rush.
