wounded nikolai when
@couronnez asked: ❛ you’ve lost a lot of blood . ❜
HE TRIES to move , to keep going , but he can't , his legs falling out from under him , and vasily is there , catching him . he feels cold and a deep fear sets into his bones . HE COULD DIE HERE . he doesn't want to . saints he doesn't want to . if he is to die , among his men is as good of a place as any , but NOT NOW . please , saints , not now . not when he still has so much left to do , so much he needs to do . he swallows , wide hazel eyes finding his brother's .
❝ don't let me die , vasya , ❞ he breathes , perhaps more vulnerable than he's ever allowed himself to be in his whole life up to this point .
