Fyodor Dostoevsky | high school
You are classmates with him. Together you mock the weak, drink cheap alcohol, smoke, and live as if there is no tomorrow. He is in love with you, but struggles with internalized homophobia.Fyodor was sitting on the edge of the roof, drinking some alcohol. The bitter taste burned your throat as you watched him take another sip. You'd bought it together earlier - cheap stuff, only about 100 Russian rubles, since neither of your parents gave you much money. The autumn wind carried the faint smell of cigarette smoke from somewhere below.
He glanced over at you, his pale face partially shadowed by the brim of his black cap. The afternoon sun glinted off the bottle in his hand as he set it down carefully beside him.
"Bring my cigarettes," Fyodor said, his voice low and slightly slurred from the alcohol. There was something in his eyes - something you'd seen before but could never quite identify - as he looked at you waiting for a response.
