🌦 « andrew garfield. cis man. he/him. thirty-nine. » was that MYKOLA “NIK" SOKOLOV walking through the doors of amorelux ? i heard they just moved in to apartment 1403 from LONDON, ENGLAND and work as an airline pilot. they seem erudite & affable but don’t get on their bad side ! they can be forthright & testy which makes sense since they’re an AQUARIOUS. you know they’re home when you see a flash of tired eyes hidden behind thick frames, the reflection of streetlights on the pavement after it rains, the frayed spines of paperback books, & disheveled hair after running your hands through it one too many times. ↷. @amoreluxintro

BIOGRAPHY
okie dokie so nik was born and raised in kharkiv, ukraine to an average middle class family where he lived for the first eight years of his life ,, his dad was an aviation pilot for the ukraine international airlines while his mom is an ex-olympic figure skater who ended up getting disgraced by purposely injuring her competitor ( was tonya harding his mom ?? who knows but she didn’t get any movies made about her ) so now she sells makeup and jewelry at a small boutique she started up
apologies to anyone having a conversation with nik bc his accent is thick and all over the place from influences. it’s still heavy ukrainian accent but also elements of the london accent once he moves, so his vowels are all over the place like it’s v much ukrainian but also v british lad and slang so it’s all v confusing
his mom victoriya is kind of a shitty person ?? just to be blunt about it since on top of her injuring her competition, her redemption was stalled by finding out she was pregnant again with nik after his older sister and it only goes downhill from there. which .. kinda sucks bc nik’s dad dmitri is a true gem who loved his kids and his wife to the moon and back and just wanted the best life possible for them but it was around the time of her pregnancy with nik that her behavior went south
her attitude was sour majority of the time and never seemed to be pleased with whatever her husband did and the drinking began after nik was born since she liked to think he was the reason behind her figure skating career never taking off again and not her disgraced name ?? this behavior was a -10/10 and dmitri put up with it for eight years thinking that she would change but it never did and it was around nik’s 8th birthday that he announced the divorce, got custody of nik and his sister nina and moved the two of them to kingston, u.k just outside of london upon a job offer
it’s in his new environment that nik begins to thrive .. finds an intense love for literature and just reading in general ?? he’s a naturally bright boy and is excelling in his classes where he gets top marks and notes on his report cards saying how lovely n intelligent of a boy is ,, though he does have trouble with making friends which ))): some of his classmates are a bunch of twats and like to pick on nik since he’s the new kid and has a strong accent
but aside from that overall his childhood was chill and was known as the class clown who got along with everyone and generally just liked making people laugh ?? just a v happy go lucky lil boy that as he aged just looked like a typical lad and not the highly intelligent boy who had promise to attend oxford or cambridge or even any school he wanted to
it's when nik and his family moved to london that he actually started going by the nickname of nik just as an easier way of pronunciation english wise. with his dad and sister he goes by mykola, but he still goes by nik just bc he's gotten so used to it
but once nik eventually settled in and made some friends of his own, everything settled down and nik grew to enjoy his time in london. his more affable personality started to come through and would become known as one of the few class clowns in his grade who could hold a conversation with anyone
it’s around nik’s 13th birthday that his dad introduces him to a new lady in his life aka his new gf named isabella who has kind green eyes and a vibrant laugh that brought out her animated personality and nik automatically loved her. he could see how happy she made his dad and after years of watching his dad be treated badly by his mom nik was happy that he found someone who loved him and being around him
fast forward seven months and isabella moves into their home and nik finally feels like he has a family ?? and it’s inevitable that the two get married where nik is the best man and it’s with this new family structure of isabella and her daughter sofia that nik feels stable?? in a sense ?? uses this new found sense of stability to further challenge himself in his academics – finding a strong penchant for math and science and being insanely good at it.
while debating whether he wanted to go to university for something math related, it was hearing his dad speak about his most recent flight that nik came to the realization that he wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a pilot. from there on nik applies himself even more so in his studies with his sites set on purude university in america. to which he eventually gets accepted into and he attends
the years in school fly by for nik and he eventually graduates with his degree, gets his abundance of hours worth of supervised training completed within another two years and by age 25 he's flying high and slowly working his way up
nik bounces around america for a while, settling in city airport hubs of delta as he works his way up in rank and not settling down in a place for too long. eventually nik ends up in new york city with a base in jfk international airport where he starts to do longer more international flights and it's here in nyc that nik starts to settle down
some sad times are ahead for nik though, his family is extremely close and he talks to his father, isabella and nina all the time on the phone. nina moved out to brighton for an advertising job with her husband philip and they have a v beautiful baby girl named adelaide and i'm !! nik is in awe bc his niece is gorgeous and he adores kids jdfnsj so he visits them whenever he can and especially when she grows up since she's his goddaughter as well
nik and his family are the type who get together for family vacations each year still bc they genuinely all get along and love one another. death tw starts – it'ss during one of nik's long shifts where it’s proving to be a tough day when he's just finishing up one of his longer flights and he gets an international call from england saying that his sister and his brother in law were involved in were involved in a car accident and didn't make it – end of death tw
being her godfather nik is given full guardianship of his niece adelaide and she soon makes the move from england to new york city. it's a tough time for nik as he's thrown into a whirlwind of settling everything with paperwork, getting adelaide settled, and taking time off from work to acclimate to having to raise a teenager now. unfortunately the one long term and healthy relationship nik found himself in begins to suffer from the amount of stress and being pulled in multiple directions. nik and his boyfriend break up and seeing as nik didn’t plan to become a father, he decides now is the time to refocus and dedicate all of his time to raising adelaide
after some time adelaide decides she doesn't like the hectic ways of new york so nik begins to apply to other companies and once he's met with a generous salary and a flexible schedule for him to look after adelaide, he and his niece make the move to seattle and eventually settle into the amore lux apartments
nik truly does hope to one day settle down and taking on the responsibility of raising adelaide certainly made nik aware just how lonely he is lmao. he does have hope to have kids of his own potentially just from how family oriented he is. right now he's juggling work and learning how to raise a teenager while they're both dealing with grief and while it's a lot, he and adelaide see eye to eye
CONNECTION IDEAS
someone who checks in on adelaide when nik is off at work doing longer flights. he would say babysitter while adelaide would argue against it ( she's 16 thank you very much !! ) but he just likes to know that there's enough food in the apartment or if his niece has homework questions then someone is there
some hookups !! nik is painfully single and while still getting over his ex, he's still a man with needs so the door is open
anyone with a kid of their own who can offer nik some advice on How To Raise a Teenager When You Weren't Planning On Raising a Teenager
a wholesome date where nik and your muse went out for dinner but ultimately they realized they were better off as friends and they continue to be as such
an errand friend !! your muse and nik oftentimes like to run errands together just bc it's more fun and the company is nice as opposed to doing everything by yourself
maybe someone nik was having a casual friends with benefits situation with and since he's still finding his footing with relationships and moving on from his ex, your muse could've ended up liking nik more than nik understood. feelings could've been hurt and things are awkward now
friends please !! *black panther voice* someone give this man some friends !! he's lonely !!
