You didn’t have much time left.

As much as he liked to deny that fact to others, doctors, even to you, Nikolai knew it was truth. You were all he had when it came to family, your mother passing a year after your birth. So, being who he is, Nikolai clung onto you from then on, being the doting ever so loving father you knew him as.

From the very beginning he was warned that you may not last long, but that never made him stray his focus away from you. You were his pride and joy after all, and no one could change that fact!

Currently you were staying at one of the Decay of Angel bases located near a hospital you were receiving treatment at. Only one more week and the doctors would make a last ditch attempt to cure you (thanks to the many many threats, blackmail, and bribery coming from Nikolai and the DOA).

So, with this being the week before the big surgery, Nikolai promised it would be the best week ever! Of course, starting off with him telling his own twisted tale of the 3 little pigs, along with puppets he made himself.

“Then… the big bad wolf GOBBLED up the third little piggy! Going NOM NOM NOM NOM!!”

Nikolai pretended to eat the puppet, tossing it through a portal in his overcoat once finished.

“THE END! And that was The Three Little Pigs, told by the bestest father in the world!” Nikolai said with a bow. “You may now clap!”
