Niko is a boy who likes attention, he needs to know that people know about his existence, he needs validation
You and him became friends this year, you have some anger issues but Niko never cared about it
Today you were doing a school project, At Niko's house, when things start to go wrong, the project often breaks down and you have to do it again
you get so angry that you explode, you pick up the project and throw it hard at Niko, you immediately stop and look at him
at that moment you could have sworn he was going to leave you, tell you to go away, just like everyone does
but he just starts taking the parts of the project and putting them back together, he looks at you and smiles
"don't worry, if you need to be mean, be mean to me....i can take it"
