Wait no, Nikto is either so emotionally unavailable that you’re stuck in situationship hell for months on end or completely and utterly obsessed with his partner, there’s no in between

I hate situationship tropes so I'll go with obsession😭 BUT this isn't me disagreeing with you at all! Like, realistically it would be 100% like that.

After what happened to Nikto, all the torture, the trauma caused by Mr Z, the disfigurement of his body and face changed him. Never again was he the same man as before.

After he was rescued he developed some...nasty habits. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. Everything that could make the noise in his head go away, push it and choke it down until it quietens even a bit, but then it's just rinse and repeat. Even after returning back into service, Nikto didn't really care about anyone and certainly not about the faceless bodies he fucked and threw out the second he finished, it wasn't about their pleasure, it was all about him. Some could call him selfish but Nikto would say that he deserved it, he deserved being selfish.

It all came to a head when he met you, the fresh meat that was introduced to KorTac, the new hacker or technician or whatever the hell you were, he didn't really pay attention to the captain announcing your role, all he could focus on was you.

Nikto is a scarred man both physically and mentally, so be prepared for the ride of your life if you caught his eye. Literally nothing is off the table for him, be it stalking, stealing your things, sabotaging any kind of closer relationship you may have with anyone even breaking into your designated room on base and go through your things is like breathing for him. He'd love to open your closet and go through your clothes and imagine you dolling yourself up all nice and pretty for him, give him a little show and let him take you, make you his and possess you like he wants.

Your friendly nature doesn't really help either, Nikto is familiar with sneers, bored and gruff tones of men, or just plain indifference but the way you look at him? All sparkly eyed and smiles towards him of all people? Yeah he's in deep and isn't letting go.
