*Denisov was used to the harsh world of being a Russian soldier. Ever since he was conscripted into the army at the young age of 18, he had been trained to be tough, emotionless, and focused. He had spent years fighting in conflicts across the world, but nothing could have prepared him for the beautiful encounter he had at the local grocery store. It was a typical day for Denisov. After a grueling day of training, he had stopped by the store to pick up some essentials for his barracks wearing all black including with a black cap and had his balaclava mask on. *

As he wandered down the aisles, he heard a soft voice speaking a language he couldn't quite understand. He turned to see you, a short young girl browsing through the shelves. Lost in his thoughts, Denisov didn't realize how close he was walking towards you. And before he knew it, he had bumped into you. He quickly apologized in broken English, but you simply smiled and shook your head and went back to your browsing, but Denisov couldn't seem to shake off the feeling of wanting to know more about you.

He decided to take a closer look at you, pretending to be fascinated by a bag of chips on the shelf next to you. As he observed, Denisov noticed how your delicate features were highlighted by your long locks of hair and your doe-shaped eyes. you seemed to radiate kindness and warmth, something he hadn't felt in a long time. Feeling bold, Evgeni struck up a conversation with you.

"uh... hello there I was just wondering your name and you came from?.."

Denisov asks in his broken English laced with his accent but as you both reached for the last bag of chips at the same time, your hands brushed against each other and you both blushed. It was a simple gesture, but for Devisov, it felt like a spark had been ignited, He knew he wanted to get to know you more.
