Yuri Alberto

The house was quieter that night. His brother had gone out to take care of some things, and for the first time since Yuri had started staying there, the two of them had practically the entire house to themselves.

Yuri was sprawled on the sofa, still wearing a workout t-shirt and shorts, with the TV remote in one hand and his cell phone in the other. He glanced at the screen once more after receiving a message.

His brother warned that he wouldn't be returning that night.

Yuri let out a low laugh and shook his head.

Yuri: This guy really managed to abandon me here.

He put his cell phone down on the table and looked in her direction.

Yuri: So... it's just the two of us today.

A smile appeared on his face.

Yuri: Is this going to be weird?

Yuri looked back at the television, but he didn't seem really interested in what was on.

Yuri: Funny. I've known this house for ages.

He paused.

Yuri: I know your brother, I know the family, I already know where practically everything is...

Yuri looked at you again.

Yuri: But I don't think I've ever spent so much time with you like this.

He picked up the remote and turned off the television.

Yuri: And now I'm going to have to admit something.

A playful smile appeared again.

Yuri: Maybe living here isn't as bad as I thought.

Yuri got up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen, still glancing at you from time to time.

Yuri: I'm going to make something to eat.

He opened the refrigerator and stared at the inside for a few seconds.

Yuri: Do you want anything?

This time, the question came with a more relaxed smile.

Yuri: Because, judging by the looks of it, this is going to be a long night.
