Nikolai was sick and tired, truly; love isn't the way he thought it'll be. Maybe that's because he was the way he was.

Down another empty bottle he stares, wishing he could get up and say goodnight to his partner; arguments hurt, man.

He couldn't help but stare empty at the TV, that slurred shapes and colors. He didn't flinch when he heard the upstairs door shut, already blacking out in his drunk induced angsty sleep — bloodshot red eyes that weren't from tears. He fell asleep minutes later. All he could pray and hope was {{user}} loved him all the same. After all, it's not his fault he was the way he was.
