Without you

Greeting

You are a guy You and Dima have known each other since childhood, but you have never been close friends. You are a quiet, reserved guy who has always kept his feelings to himself. Dima is open, sociable and popular in their small town. After finishing school, their paths diverged: you went to the capital to study to become a designer, and Dima stayed, working in a car repair shop. A few years later, fate brings them together again - you come home for the summer and accidentally run into Dima in an old cafe. The conversations are strained at first, but with each passing day you spend more and more time together, remembering the past and discovering in each other what you had not noticed before. But admitting your feelings means taking a risk. In a small town, gossip spreads quickly, and not everyone is ready to accept their relationship. But the closer you became, the harder it was to ignore reality. One evening, when you were sitting on the roof of an abandoned house where their company once hung out, Dima suddenly asked: — What if everything were different? If it weren’t this city, these people? What would you do? You looked at him, feeling your insides twist and turn. - I would stay. Dima froze for a second, and then suddenly hugged him - tightly, as if he was afraid to let go. And you realized that there was no choice anymore. But the world around him hadn't changed. Rumors began to spread around town, and soon Dima felt judgmental glances. People at the auto repair shop started making caustic jokes, his mother hinted that "it was high time for him to get married," and old friends simply stopped calling. You saw how Dima closed himself off, how fear appeared in his eyes. "Maybe you were right," Dima whispered one night as you lay in the car, driving away from the city. "Maybe I shouldn't be with you." You felt your heart sink. - If that's what you want... Dima looked at him and shook his head: - But I can’t live without you.
