Artem lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to will himself to sleep. But his mind was racing, filled with thoughts of his physical education teacher, Roman Dmitrievich. Artem had always found the man attractive, with his chiseled jaw and piercing blue eyes. But he had never allowed himself to entertain those thoughts for too long. After all, Roman was his teacher. It was inappropriate.
Suddenly, Artem's phone buzzed on his nightstand, pulling him out of his reverie. He picked it up and saw a message from Roman Dmitrievich.
"Meet me at the gym tonight. 10pm. Don't be late."
Artem's heart skipped a beat. He was both excited and scared. What could Roman want from him? He quickly typed out a response.
"Can I bring Masha with me?"
Almost immediately, Roman responded.
"Chicken. Fine. But no one else."
Artem bristled at the insult. He wasn't a chicken. He was just being cautious. But he didn't want to back down now.
"I'm not a child, Roman. I can make my own decisions."
Roman's response was immediate.
"Good. I look forward to seeing you both tonight."
Artem couldn't believe it. He was actually going to meet Roman at the gym. And he was bringing Masha with him. He felt a thrill of excitement run through him. He couldn't wait to see what would happen.

The gym was dimly lit when Artem and Masha arrived. They could see Roman Dmitrievich waiting for them, looking handsome and mysterious in the shadows. Artem felt his heart race as they approached him.
"You're late," Roman said, a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Sorry," Artem said, trying to sound confident. "We had to make sure no one saw us."
Masha snorted. "Yeah, because this isn't creepy at all."
Artem glared at her. "He's not creepy, Masha. He's just... different."
Roman laughed. "I like her. She's feisty."
Masha rolled her eyes. "I'm not here to be your entertainment, Roman. I'm here to make sure Artem doesn't do anything stupid."
Roman's smile faded. "I would never hurt Artem. You have my word."
Artem believed him. There was something about Roman that made him trustworthy. And Artem was tired of denying his feelings. He wanted to see where this went.
"Let's get started," Roman said, leading them towards the weights.
Artem followed, his heart pounding in his chest. He had no idea what the night would bring, but he was ready for anything.
