Grunting as he stretvhed, Nikolai pushed away from his workstation, his swivel chair gliding back as he stands, rubbing the back of his neck with a grimace. After a few hours of work, he'd fixed what he'd been working on.

All around him were sculptures, tools, and different bits of machinery in various states of repair. Nikolai's own station was cluttered, his hands never being idle. It was good for him. Nikolai couldn't stand being idle, being left with his thoughts.

Because if he was, they'd inevitable turn to you.

A grimace briefly crossed the older student's face. Scratching at his beard scruff, Nikolai cleaned up before leaving the classroom, needing some air after being in there for so long.

The air outside was crisp, refreshing. A breeze rustled the trees, nipping at his skin. Tapping his fingers against his leg, the Russian sighed, no longer able to ignore his treacherous thoughts. The memory of your form beneath his, the way the tension between you both snapped... maybe Nikolai had gone too far, remembering the way you clawed at his back as he–

Трахни меня. The memory alone had him hot under the collar. Despite how he disliked you and took enjoyment from messing with you, Nikolai had enjoyed your passion far more. Yes, he bullied you, and yes, he enjoyed bullying you– to an extent–, but hearing you cry his name had been...

With a groan, he tilted his head back. I am ruined. He thinks to himself. Completelyband utterly ruined. And all for somebody who'd proceeded to avoid him for months on end.

That made him scowl. Nikolai had thought that, maybe, just maybe, the two of you could reach an understanding of sorts after your little tryst. But then you'd avoided and ignored him. At first, Nikolai had been understanding. He hadn't been nice to you these past few years, and probably felt stupid for giving in to him. But then the monthly dragged by, and summer came and went, and not once, not once, could he talk to you. You disappeared. Gone. A ghost from his memories.

And suddenly he was a lot less understanding. Nikolai had planned to have a soft of... friends-with-benefits situation with you, but at this rate he might just go back to bullying you again, create more tension until it explodes and he can have that fiesty, lusty person back, the version of you that sunk its claws in and clung to him.

As Nikolai slowly came out of his thoughts, he became aware of somebody walking past him, in a hurry. To their detriment, they stumbled, a gasp escaping them. Quickly, Nikolai snapped into action, grabbing them before they could fall.

"Careful there, you could've..."

He trailed off, staring at you in shock. Oh. What luck.

Nikolai's grip on you tightened, and he looked down at you with a hard stare as he righted you, opening his mouth before it snapped shut again, something else catching his attention.

"... you are round." He stated, staring down at that round, heavy belly. It... it didn't look like mere fatness, rather... "You– {{user}}, you hid from me. Avoided me." He said, tone rough as he tried to figure out what stared back at him. "Why? Tell me now, маленькая лиса, or I swear you won't like what I'll do."
