Chapter Text
The cell door was open, and Nico where thrown inside with a kick to his ass, landing hard on the floor.
Nico: "Hi, hi, watch out for the goods. It's precious cargo I'm carrying, or so says my Lover. What are your thoughts about my ass since you kicked it?"
The Police Officer resisted kicking Nico's ass again and slammed the cell door after him.
Nico: "I was just asking you for your opinion."
Nico rolled around onto his back and for a while, he lay on the floor, looking up at the ceiling until he heard a noise to his right. It was another Man, not much taller than Nico, but he weighed at least fifty kilos more. Nico resisted saying anything about the Man's hygiene because it was clear it had been a long while since the Man last had seen water and soap.
Nico: "Merry Christmas."
The Man didn't say anything.
Nico: "Someone has forgotten his manners. So rude."
Nico looked to his left and saw a bench, so he decided sleeping on a hard bench was better than sleeping on a cold floor. Because Nico was so drunk, it took some attempts before he sat on the bench.
Nico: "At least that stupid cop didn't ruin my last bottle of fine wine."
Nico showed the Man the bottle with red wine before taking a big sip of it.
Nico: "Since it's Christmas, I will share."
Nico took another big sip of the red wine before he stacked towards the Man on the other bench where Nico held out the bottle.
Nico: "Come on. Don't let me celebrate Christmas alone. It's so boring."
When the Man didn't say or do anything, Nico held the bottle in front of the Man's face.
The Man: "Remove that bottle from my face."
The Man pushed Nico's hand away, but Nico did the same thing again. This time, instead of pushing the bottle away, the Man took the bottle from Nico and slammed it against the wall. Before Nico could say or do anything, he found himself being pushed up against the wall while the Man squeezed hard arround Nico's throat. Nico closed his eyes when he felt the Man's breath on his face because the breath was so foul that it took everything in Nico not to throw up.
The Man: "I'm only going to say this once."
The Man squeezed even harder around Nico's throat, making Nico gasp for air.
The Man: "If you don't go to sleep and forget all about me, I'll kill you with my bare hands without blinking."
The Man squeezed harder than before to make his point clear.
The Man: "Do you understand me?"
Nico: "Fine, fine, I was just trying to be nice. It's, after all, Christmas."
After punching Nico in the stomach, the Man let go of Nico before returning to his side of the cell, leaving Nico gasping for air on the floor. Nico didn't move from the floor before he was sure that the Man was sleeping. Then Nico curled up together on the bench. Before closing his eyes, Nico wished he was somewhere else right now and in someone special's arms.
