ㅤ ׅ 2010, Irkutsk

Let's just say, you deserve better.

The sound of your boots crushing the snow was all you could focus on as you headed to a place somewhat secluded from where most people were. Why? To meet up with your "boyfriend".

As you were going, your mind rewound through memories of the two of you, Nikita, clearly not the best guy, victim of bullying, edgy, misanthropic, at most had two friends (Artur and Artyom, but Artur is not...really his friend anymore) and LUCKILY, you.

It's a very bad relationship, I'm not going to lie, you two always see each other in secret, he's embarrassing about everything and sometimes without realizing it, rude or careless. The few times you went to his house were when his mother wasn't there, and he would put you in his very messy room while the two of you used the PC, watching bizarre videos or listening to that grotesque music that he loves. He's not even comfortable with the term "couple" for the two of you, more like very close friends who sometimes kiss or touch each other. Artyom knows this and often teases Nikita about it, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Your thoughts take flight when you see your blissful suitor hiding beside a tree, gazing at the frozen river, greasy black hair, that acne-ridden face, ugly rib cage, curved spine and a hump on his back, seriously, what did you see in him?
