So here's the second part to your earlier short story! My Neighbor...!! Let's jump right in and get to the heat of the meat, shall we?

We can easily admire Mikhail's fierce determination to keep in shape. Perhaps he feels that his sex appeal is a tangible and important part of his societal identity. Maybe it fills him with enough self-esteem to provide a sense of pride and accomplishment that permeates the day to day dealings with society that he has.

It seems curious that Mikhail has such a fondness for working out in the gym and excelling at physical education, but he also has a deep love for reading. He would rather be buried in a book than to join a sports team! Fair enough, nothing wrong with that. Just a remarkable attribute to his personality.

Finally Mikahil and Ostap get properly introduced. Talk about a chance meeting! They are always running into each other in unexpected avenues, I bet Mikhail never would have imagined he would have seen Ostap again. Especially randomly, out in public like this.

A work-out buddy! Now this makes perfect sense! Of course the audience is even more excited now that there might be a joint weight-lifting session coming on between the two of them... haha! We can dream, can't we?

I smell a budding romance between Mikhail and Ostap... I mean, Ostap wanting to be work out buddies, that's a huge first step in that direction. And the fact that Ostap still feels embarrassed that he bumped into Mikhail on accident, why else would he still be hung up about that small feat if he wasn't very concerned with what Mikhail thinks of him?

The dynamics between our wolf hero and our bear suitor are getting more and more amusing and thought-provoking as time goes on. Only time will tell where this whole things ends up.

I'd love to know, wouldn't you?

I want to know, too. because this is the first time I've ever written such a larger piece. And I think the guys might be having an affair, but we'll see. In any case, I won't abandon the story, but I won't write it quickly either. I'm still learning, so there may be breaks.

Yeah, I already read part 3! It's getting steamier and hotter as time goes on. I can't wait to see how Ostap reacts to Mikhail's erection, and how he brings it up in conversation, since he didn't immediately mention it at the moment.

I have to say, Ostap has a lot of self-control which is very admirable. Most guys would have pointed that out immediately!

But, I think that shows how much Ostap cares about Mikhail already, since he knows that if he did bring up Mikhail's obvious erection, that it would cause Mikhail to be even more critically embarrassed than he already is, and that's not something Ostap wants to have happen.
