Him- Part 1

Nicholas stared at the wall as he breathed out the smoke from his lips. The smoke let out a forest like scent unlike the pungent that the usual cigars left. He had bought them during an auction out of interest. Though being a smoker, he wasn't exactly fond of the smell the normal cigar buds emitted. He sat against the bed's headboard, his feet crossed which was covered with a part of black blanket to cover his lower part of his body while the rest was shared with Heidi who slept next to him.

His face was marred with a grave expression as he took another puff from the cigar before extinguishing it in the ashtray at the bedside. With the number of decades that had passed by, he had never thought to find himself in a day like this. Not in this state at least.
