“Yeah, it’s uh… it’s super small.” Nikolai said, looking at the floor. “It’s all my family can afford.” He felt his face go hot, and his eyes started filling up with tears.
-
Natsuki's eyes widened and she looked down as well, realising her mistake. She got up and gently hugged Nik, the side of her head resting on his chest. She wasn't sure what else to do.
(Autocorrect is being a smelly >:( ) -
(Isn’t it always😂)
Nikolai hesitated before wrapping his arms around her.
“I-um…. Thanks..” -
(Good point)
After a moment, Natsuki slowly pulled away and gave him a small smile, squeezing his hand.
She tried not to show too much pity, but couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It explained why he barely had any lunch, and why his house was so small and old. -
Nikolai smiled, and shrugged. “You don’t need to feel sorry for me.” He said, knowing she was. “It is what it is.”
He looked outside. “It’s getting super late. It’s probably time to go to bed.” -
Natsuki nodded, and sat back down on the bed. She patted the side next to her. Being fairly small, she figured they could both fit so Nik wouldn't have to sleep on the couch.
-
Nikolai grinned. “I-you don’t mind if I sleep there with you?” He sat down on the bed slowly, nervous she would change her mind.
-
Natsuki shook her head with a smile and took off her shoes, setting them on the floor neatly. She glanced back at Nik, unsure of what else to do.
-
“I can take this part of the bed.” Nikolai offered, taking the left side of the bed, laying a inch or two off the bed to make sure Nat had plenty of space.
-
Natsuki nodded and lay down on the right side, making sure she was very close to the edge so Nik had more space. She took her hair out and put the hair tie around her wrist, fiddling with a bit of her long dark curls.
-
After a long time Nikolai fell asleep, still a couple inches off the edge.
-
Natsuki squirmed a little, before finally getting comfortable with her arm hanging off the edge. She slowly fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
-
(timeskip to next morning?)
-
(Yeah)
Pretty soon it was morning, and Nikolai woke up, checking the time. “We have to get up and get to school.” He whispered to Nat, shaking her slightly. -
Natsuki stirred and slowly opened her eyes. For a moment she was startled at seeing Nikolai next to her, but then remembered where she was and relaxed a little.
She nodded and sat up, rubbing her crusty eyes.
("Crusty eyes" sounds so wrong lol)
