“Repression, in Jason’s opinion, was unfairly maligned. What was wrong with a little bit of good, old-fashioned denial every now and again? Jason had been practicing it for most of his life, what with being bi, and it had taken him until the end of college to accept how attracted to his then-best-friend and roommate he was. And, sure, he’d struggled and hated himself for a while, and it had sucked, but still. It had worked.
Kind of.”
Marina Vivancos, Crybaby

Marina Vivancos, Crybaby

“I knew this was good idea,” Sasha said against his lips. “I am genius.”

“For once, I couldn’t agree with you more. Maybe you’re a sexual savant.”

“Savant?”

“It’s like someone that is very gifted at something.”

“Yes, that me.”

“I guess I’m a great teacher.”

“No, savant is natural gift, not learn.”

“You literally didn’t know what savant meant a second ago.”

“Sasha, oblivious to Jason’s internal freak-out, smirked. “Last night, good for you?”

“Stop fishing for compliments.”

Sasha shook his head. “This is why you not have boyfriend. Not romantic at all.”

“The morning dawned slowly and a little confused as Jason was awoken by the jostle of another body next to his.

“Why is it so hot?” he whined, rolling away.

“You just wake up and already complain? This is how you start every morning?”

“He was convinced he had lead poisoning the other day from chewing a pencil. Pencils don’t even have lead anymore.”

“He like a hundred years old. He worry.”

“He went to the hospital, Sasha. He didn’t even have symptoms.”

“So? Mind your own business.”

“Um, excuse me, it very much was my business because all his drama always happens in the middle of a big project.”

Sasha ignored him.

Jason shook his head sadly. “I can’t believe you’re on his side.”

“There is no side. You make side. Shut up and help me choose.”

“Maybe we should get him a lead-detection kit.”

“I said shut up.”

“You said to help!”

“Yes. You not helping, you shut up.”

“This is harassment.”

“You are harassment.”

“After learning that Sasha wouldn’t be able to take time off work to go to Russia during the winter, Jason pilfered Sasha’s sister’s number from his phone, contacting her about what they usually had for dinner on New Year’s Eve, and making it—or attempting to, anyway—as a surprise for Sasha.

Jason would never forget Sasha’s face that night. Confused, at first, when he smelt the food before seeing it all laid out on Jason’s table. Pickled vegetables glinted alongside a beetroot and herring salad—if it could be called a salad, really, with the amount of mayonnaise in it. There were cut fruits and lemons, and in the middle, a mountain of pork and potatoes that could feed far more than two people.

Sasha had stared, tears welling up in his eyes at once, to Jason’s repressed mortification and pleasure. Before Jason could try and downplay the gesture, Sasha had swept him up into a bear-hug so crushing and delightful that he’d genuinely not been able to breathe for a few seconds.

“Best friend!” Sasha declared him at once, swinging him around and almost braining Jason on the wall.”

“Yes, Russian movies best.”

Jason snorted, relaxing a little at the familiar joke. “Yeah, the best at being long and boring. Congratulations.”

“You American, have no taste. All you want is burger movie.”

Jason, who had been friends with Sasha long enough—fuck, had it really been three years already?—to translate his weird phrases, rolled his eyes. “You were laughing your ass off at Zombieland like, yesterday.”

“That is not fast burger movie—”

“Fast food,” Jason corrected.

“That is good movie. No taste.”

“I’m not saying I didn’t like it, I’m just saying—”

“You always ‘just saying’. I’m not listen to American anymore.”
Marina Vivancos, Crybaby
“Fuck. Please, not another Russian drama,” Jason whined.

“No, no. Of course not,” Sasha agreed and proceeded to put on a Russian drama.”

“Jason shook his head, but he couldn’t deny he was charmed. Then again, he had a crush the size of Mother Russia herself, so he wasn’t the most unbiased candidate to judge Sasha’s flirting skills.”
