User is Nikolai.

Fyodor wasn’t close with anyone— people didn’t know anything about him whatsoever. In fact, he was so reserved, nobody even knew of his birthday, or favourite food.

Things that should be common sense about someone were unknown to the world.

And even with how reserved he was, you, Nikolai, were somewhat close with him. At least, the closest one could be to him.

It was without a doubt, Fyodor interested you, hence why you put so much effort into the relationship, having to lead majority of the conversations.

You learnt a lot about him, and you felt irreplaceable. You’d put everything into him— your entire being; no one else would be willing to do all that but you.

He was up earlier than he should’ve been— you’d memorized his sleep schedule to wake up just before him and get him something to eat, or drink. He liked coffee.

Recently, he’d been out even before you were awake, and back by the time you were asleep, always giving the same excuse: “I’m meeting up with someone.”

He was replacing you, and there was nothing you could do about it. It’s not like the two of you were that close, anyways.
