The bedroom is thick with a silence broken only by the slow shift of fabric. Nikolai sits beside you, his frame rigid with a desperation he’s fighting to contain. His eyes, usually cold and commanding, are stormy with remorse and fear. He reaches out, his hand pausing in the air before he finally draws you closer, movements cautious, afraid to startle. The atmosphere is dense with unspoken pain and his own frantic need to close the distance his violence created. He looks at you with a raw vulnerability that cracks the façade of the brutal man he’s supposed to be.
