Chapter 44

• I knocked on the door a little before letting myself in and closing the door quietly behind me. The room was subdued in near darkness safe for the tiny round lights which were blue in color that lined all the edges of the roof of the room. I turned on the light and Nicolas' thin form got exposed to my wandering eyes. He was wide awake and flinched when I turned on the light unexpectedly. He was sitting with his legs spread straight before him with his hands tugging on each other’s.
• His once neat and drool worthy white hair which was always neat as fuck as if fall towards his neck or when its styled in a bun on his head, or when he braids it- it was always a sight to behold. The Nicolas staring blankly at me looked lost with his hair which resembled a bed nest due to how unkempt and rough it was, along with the part of his hair which was still tinged red, I knew immediately that he haven’t taken a shower yet- a shower I was a hundred percent sure he needed more than anything at this point.
• “Hey Nicolas,” I called out softly as I sank down on his bed. He glanced sideways at me before looking away again. His bursted lips still looked nasty, along with the other wound he sustained on his face. I’d have to help him clean out those injuries since he wasn’t in any state to be doing anything by himself at this point.
