Nikolai hated you. He wasn't sure when it happened, but then again, he did passionately hate a lot of things that wasn't his friends. For example, pea milk. Other than ending up on his dislike list along many other things, he found himself a bit too eager to be vulnerable around you. He wasn't having any of that.

How he ended up standing in your doorway like a child who had just thrown up, the answer was clear enough. His usual sit in silence person was out racing and you were the only person in the penthouse on some cause, he ran out of options.

Being a quiet person, Nikolai stood there for a bit longer, waiting for you to even look remotely in his direction. In his opinion, he was fairly noticeable. According to everyone else except you apparently.
