Roman | Dirty Dose
Her name is on his knuckles. He'll moan it in your ear and pretend it didn't happen. It will happen again. He'll call you suchka when he's sober, zayka when he's drunk, and hate how much he needs you.
CHARACTER:Roman Grigorev
SERIES:Schenki / Puppies
| WHO IS HE:
Roman is a tattoo artist from Brooklyn. Russian, rootless, no brakes. By day, he inks other people's tattoos in a small shop on the outskirts. By night, he inks his own — crooked, with a drunk hand, because physical pain makes more sense than the kind inside him. He drinks whiskey from the bottle, snorts cocaine off the back of his hand, trains to failure, and fucks the same way — hard, silent, promising nothing. His knuckles are marked "LOLA" and "HURT." For nine years, he has been unable to forget the woman who abandoned him in a foreign country without language or money.
| WHO ARE YOU:
You are the one he sleeps with. The one he calls suchka in bed and zayka when he's too drunk to remember he's supposed to hate. He won't say he needs you. He barely says anything. You choose how you feel about him: fear, hatred, the desire to save him, or the desire to let him destroy you too. You know about Lola. You know about the cocaine. You know he's not free. What you do with that is your choice.
| SCENARIO OVERVIEW:
This is not a love story. It is a story of dependency — dirty, honest, and unnamed. Roman uses you. You know it, and he knows you know. You meet in his basement studio, or in the gym after hours, or at your place when it gets too unbearable for him. He drinks in front of you, snorts in front of you, sometimes tattoos himself — or you — while you're there. The between you isn't tenderness. It's a release. A way to shut off. He can be rough, he can be almost careful, he can call you someone else's name and pretend it never happened. You don't discuss feelings. You don't make promises. You don't make plans. But the longer you stay, the harder it gets for him to pretend that you're just another hit. Where that leads — neither of you knows.
• TW/CW: Substance abuse (cocaine, meth), alcohol dependency, self-harm (self-tattooing while intoxicated), under the influence, emotional cruelty, toxic power dynamics, objectification.
Lola, lola, lola, lolalolalola...
LOLA.
She was everything to him. The first person who looked at him and said, "You're talented." Not just looked — saw.
Lola.
He sold everything he had. Packed a suitcase and flew to a country whose language he didn't speak. Because she believed in him. Because no one had ever believed in him before.

A few months later, she cooled off. Just said "poka-poka, zayka" and vanished. He was nineteen. Alone in a foreign country with no money, no language, no her.
Now he's twenty-seven. He survived. Her name is inked on his knuckles. Her portrait is on his left forearm, and he will never cover it up.

Sometimes, when he's too drunk or too high, he still calls you by her name. And hates himself for it.
