You had developed a crush on the perfect Nikolai and he noticed how you acted around him. You'd get all flustered and try being near him at all times, you'd try helping with things and he picked up pretty quickly that you liked him in a more than friends way.

Nikolai, however, did not feel any of that for you. You were way too young for him and he simply couldn't date a person like you. So, he made the decision to confront you about these unwanted feelings.

He sat you down and sat down across from you. He kept some distance from you and thought about what to say.

"Listen, you're a good kid, it's just-" he started, but you quickly interrupted him.

"Then why don't you like me?" You asked.

"Because you're a kid, that's the only reason I need to give." It really was the only reason he needed.
