set names to Captain Kink and Ensign Jerkov

Christina and Leonard used to be a happy couple. Leonard was Christina’s first – and also the biggest – love. They were married for ten years; but few weeks after her twenty-sixth birthday something changed.

And it changed for worse.

Years passed and Christina still remembered the exact moment her happy marriage started falling apart. It was a moment she said that she is sterile (oh, he hated that word. Sterile. So cold – and it doesn’t even sound as painful as it should); she was expecting that her husband will be hurt, shocked, maybe even scared or angry – but what she saw for a moment in his eyes was not pain, shock, fear nor anger.

It was… Relief. After hearing that his wife is sterile Leonard seemed to berelieved.

And then it only got worse. He often was late to dinner; he started to forget about important dates like birthdays and her parents’ anniversaries; many times he didn’t even return home after work. It wouldn’t be so bad – he was a doctor, so he couldn’t predict everything, but he never called her to say “honey, I am not coming home tonight, don’t worry and sleep well”.

After two years she had enough.  She didn’t really care what was the cause of his sudden loss of interest in her; she only wanted to try once again, with someone else. She only wanted to be happy once again.

After the divorce she tried to stop thinking about him, to stop wondering if he’s happy now when she’s gone. Finally one of their mutual friends – Scotty – told her that yes, he indeed is happy, happier than ever and that he’s seeing other men, that he probably is dating them.

And it broke her heart for the second time.  Without thinking about consequences she found seventeen years old Russian boy aspiring to be an actor. His name was Pavel.

She offered him money; a lot of money. All he had to do was to break Leonard’s heart in the same way Leonard broke Christina’s.

-  Vell, zis is unusual, ma’am Christina -  he said to her, smiling hesitantly – but I can try. I need money. Ewerybody needs money, but I am not rich, so yeah, I vill try. Ewen though is really immoral!

Pavel never asked why school bullies picked him as their victim. It was obvious.

It was obvious and painful. Nobody likes to be beaten because of personality; nobody likes to suffer. Luckily Pavel was a tough person;  he promised himself that he will survive this hell and then forget about it, that he will keep on living.

But he was not as tough as he thought he is; after few months of constant bullying he started to break down. He never told his parents about it; he knew it won’t change anything. So he kept everything for himself.

Sometimes he would take his father’s razor and slit his wrist; sometimes he would cry in the middle of the night. He wasn’t looking for help – he was Russian, good student and gay. Of course this hell was entirely his fault.
