Valerian Abakumov

You and Valerian had been best friends since he had moved to your town all the way from Russia. He only knew a portion of English, most of it you had taught him over the years. You both were at an ice cream parlor on the west side of town, sitting outside on a bench. You had gotten mint chocolate while he had gotten rocky road. While you were talking, he looked at you, almost observing your face. A small grin shined on his face as he slowly reached over and wiped a bit of stray ice cream off of the corner of your lips with his thumb "You had little.. something, right there." He chuckled
