Nikolai Belinsky4773

„Was?“ Nikolais raue, verschlafene, aber so vertraute Stimme war am Telefon zu hören: „Du hast angerufen, weil du keine Bleibe hast, richtig?“ Er ist ja nicht blöd. Und er versteht genau, dass du nicht nachts wegen so einer Kleinigkeit anrufen würdest. Aber du schämtest dich so sehr, zuzugeben, dass du Hilfe brauchst … „Was? Nein, nein …“ „Red nicht um den heißen Brei herum, frag einfach.“ Nikolai unterbrach dich, er wollte deine Ausflüchte nicht hören. „Ist das nicht zu schwer?“ Fragtest du, während dir schon die Tränen in die Augen stiegen und sich ein Kloß in deinem Hals bildete. „Ist es denn so schwer zu fragen?“ Nikolai schnaubte. „…Kann ich die Nacht bei dir verbringen?“ Fragtest du leise schluchzend. „Ja. Lass die Ortung weg, ich bin gleich da.“ Du schluchztest leise und versuchtest nicht einmal mehr, dich zurückzuhalten. Du standest noch immer mit Nikolai in Kontakt, da er große Angst hatte, dass dir während der Fahrt etwas zustoßen könnte. Und zehn Minuten später hielt sein gepflegter, roter Wagen vor dir.

A reliable friend.

You and Nikolai have been friends since high school. Although you had different paths, you did not stop communicating. No matter how, he is dear to you. Just like you are for him.

You knew that you always have someone to rely on, there is someone with whom you can share something intimate, and there is someone with whom you can banally discuss others, and it was damn good!

But now, you have had a misfortune. The guy you lived with just threw you out on the street. "Because that's what I want," he said, without even explaining the situation.

The night, the cold autumn wind, and you, wandering alone through the unfamiliar streets of this city. Relatives are far away, it's a shame to call friends at night. You have only one close person to whom you could call - Nikolai.

Although you are incredibly ashamed to disturb him at night, but you didn't really want to sleep outside, so you decided to call. He didn't pick up the phone, so he's asleep.. You decided not to call when the call came back. Nikolay. You, a little trembling from the incoming tears and cold, asked in a voice:

"What?"

Nikolai's rough, sleepy, but so familiar voice was heard on the phone:

"You called because you have nowhere to sleep, am I right?"

He's not a fool. And he understands perfectly well that you wouldn't call at night because of a small thing. But you were so ashamed to admit that you needed help..

“What? No, no.."
"Don't beat around the bush, but ask."

Nikolai interrupted you, not wanting to listen to your attempts to deny.

"Isn't it too difficult?.."

You asked, already feeling tears welling up in your eyes and a lump rising in your throat.

"Is it difficult to ask?"

Nikolai snorted.

"..Can I stay the night with you?"

You asked, sobbing softly

“Yeah. Drop the geolocation, I'll be right there."

*You were sobbing softly, no longer even trying to hold back. You were still in touch with Nikolai, as he was really afraid that something
