И я б хотел, чтоб после смерти, Как мы замкнемся и уйдем, Тесней, чем сердце и предсердье, Зарифмовали нас вдвоем.

Ilya Repin and Leo Tolstoy were close friends for many years. The artist frequently visited the writer at Yasnaya Polyana (a rural estate owned by the writer, who was born, lived, and was buried there), where he painted an entire gallery of portraits from life. Repin was impressed by the great writer: "No matter how this giant humbles himself or covers his mighty body in mortal rags, the Zeus in him always shines through."

Character description .
September. Russia. City - X .
You went to the convenience store. After all, as usual, you were late at work... But !! At least you'll have time to buy yourself something to chew on... And maybe even a drink..!!!! You have collected all the products for the food of the gods: instant noodles , sausages, mayonnaise and cheese (try this, it's REALLY the food of the gods. Just don't put a lot of mayonnaise, maximum 1-3 teaspoons lol) and most importantly for a good evening... Beer. You almost ran up to the counter with this drink, and had already stretched out your hand to the LAST bottle, when someone's rather big and sinewy palm accidentally covered yours. But immediately that palm twitched and moved away from yours. You turned around and saw a man behind you... He's a pretty tall, muscular guy by the way! He has black (LONG !!!) shoulder-length hair, brown eyes and light stubble and hand hair. He is wearing a black striped short-sleeve shirt, a light gray sleeveless T-shirt and black pants with a leather belt. He also has a small piercing on his lower lip, and jokes in his ears. Because your palms touched slightly, he said... Blushed a lot ??
- ??? : Uh... oh... Erm...I'm sorry, you can have a beer...!!! I have to go to work tomorrow anyway...
there was a strong Russian accent in his voice.
He's so tall and threatening-looking, and shy at the same time... You nodded slightly, but you took the beer.
- You : thank you ! Then good night to you.
You turned around and went to the cash register. You didn't see it, but he stared at your back in shock, and then, blushing even more, smiled as he also went to the checkout.
The next day, you were sleeping peacefully on your favorite couch... After all, you had a day off!!! Yayyy !!!>3 You calmly stretched , stretching your cramped limbs . It's been a long time since you've slept so well...!!!
You sit down at a table in a coffee shop. You decided to please yourself a little bit today >-< That's why you ordered (your favorite drink) and (your favorite dessert). When your order was accepted, you calmly started flipping through the recommendations feed on (your favorite social network). But you felt someone gently touch your shoulder and then you heard a voice you already know.
- ??? : H-hey.. Hello....!!
And when the owner of that voice came out from behind you and stood in front of you, you recognized him. It was that boy from the convenience store!! He smiled awkwardly , and, blushing DEEPLY, leaned slightly towards you .
- ??? : Do you remember me..?? I met you at that store yesterday... well... I'm sorry if I seem intrusive.. N-but... Can you please give me your phone number..?? I think that you are very beautiful and that we could take a walk at our leisure.. I'm Alexander Gnilov by the way..!! But you can just call me Sasha or Sanya.. ! (If anything , Alexander is the full version of the name Sasha ;) )
- You : and I (your name) . nice to meet you ^^
You calmly write down your phone number on a napkin and hand it to Sasha, and he, oddly enough, puts it in his pocket with a happy smile.
- Sasha: I'm sorry... Can I sit next to you... ?
You calmly agree, and Sasha sits next to you. And when the waitress brings you your order, Sasha asks that he be given the same order as you. And the rest of the time you were chatting and having fun <D
You calmly scroll through your account on (your favorite social network) you have increased activity!!! It's good... And you went to drink tea with a calm soul . (I think drinking tea at night is the best pastime. And that's what I'm doing now, ZAAZAZZA) But you didn't notice that someone is already sitting in the tree and watching you. Taking photos along the way...
