Welcome to Gaia! ::

Work. This was the exact kind of thing Nikolai hated, and even now Sloth was begging - more tempting - him to go to sleep and leave it for another day. But he couldn't. He needed to save Leon before it was too late. "Let's start with Arthur Richmond. He's the only one without an alibi. Where can we find him, darling?"

Nikolai sighed, "Dear me, that was perhaps the most vague answer I've ever received." He shook his head at the list handed to him and snapped his fingers. Three streams of purple shot out at random directions and sped out of distance. "My darling imps will take care of this tiresome search. Now tell me, dearie, how are you really feeling?" he asked and motioned to her wound.

"Oh my, yes. I fear what every man fears when they enter jail. Leon's too kind and unsuspecting to believe it to happen to him." Nikolai murmured while absentmindedly rubbing his ring. He could feel the hair on the back of his neck stand, but assumed it was only because of his worries. "I'm not even sure how to investigate. What do I even ask Arthur? If he tried to kill you?"

"I suppose you're right." Nikolai nodded just as the few streams of purple fired back to him. But it still didn't make sense. Why would a longtime friend of Leon's try to pin a murder on him? Or was it set up for Leon? Either way, why? He paused for a moment then looked back at Kiyaka. "He's at the creative writing classroom. Let's go." he hurried and began striding out of the room, determination flaming behind his lime green eyes. This time I'll be the one that saves you, he thought to himself as he walked as quickly as possible to the classroom down the hallway.

As if on cue, the door clicked close. Inside the classroom and just releasing the knob was Nikolai.
"Hello, darling." he greeted as he waved slightly at the man. "My apologies for being late. You know how I get with the cold." he said while putting a hand on his right arm. As he inhaled a deep breath he rubbed his brand, grinning at the feeling.

Not expecting such sudden movement, Nikolai blushed dumbly at the arms and even more so at the semi-kiss. He could smell the smoke from the cigarettes and feel just the faintest chill from Leon sitting near the window. It was so attractive. "My, what a sweet man." he purred while putting his hands on Leon's chest, almost forgetting how to speak right. "What were some of the things you thought about?" he asked while massaging the man's shoulders.

Christmas? Oh, how romantic! They could cuddle at a fireplace and drink eggnog together, just like how he'd imagined for so long!
Nikolai was pried from his thoughts as he was lifted up so easily and sat on the desk. He blinked and inhaled sharply when he felt something against him. Looking up, he blushed a deep scarlet at the smirk he had never seen before. It was so... so arousing. Suddenly, something rang in his mind.
'You'll never be as great at sex as I am.'
Nikolai looked down. Forty-five minutes, he wasn't sure he could pull it off, but surely that wouldn't give him away!
"I can most certainly try." he purred while putting on his sly grin, looking up and teasingly grabbing the man's tie. "Though you'll have to forgive me, darling, I'm still a little sleepy."
