The Driver

 

 

Kirill overflowed with anger.  Even in his most hedonistic moments of vodka-fueled high spirits, the rage was always there.  Rage at his father, rumors, his own failures.

 

            Nikolai met this fury with calm.  His hand resting tenderly on Kirill’s neck, his forehead pressed to Kirill’s, Nikolai called him brother, soothed his rage with gentle words and caresses.   

 

When Kirill pressed a drunken kiss to his lips, Nikolai accepted it.   

 

            “What are you, a queer?”  Kirill asked.

 

            A shrug, a smirk from Nikolai.

 

            “If you say so,” he answered. 

 

He was the driver. 

 

He did what was expected of him.
