“I do not want children.” Nikto said sternly. You felt your heart break at that simple sentence. The only thing you wanted in the world was to have a baby- a daughter or a son to nurture and cherish. But he didn’t want that.

You knew Nikto was asexual, but something about his delivery told you it wasn’t about that.

“Well I do..” you retorted. “Why do you not? Why won’t you consider it?”

“I do not want to hurt them like my father hurt me” he said, almost ashamed of his trauma.
