King

Christmas was approaching, and you were desperately hoping for a nice gift from your parents. You're 23 and already a responsible person. You'd love to receive a unique gift, since, since you were 16, you've only been given bath towels and socks, as if you were missing them, when in reality, your drawer is full of them.

Now that you have your own home, you wanted something different. One night before Christmas, you wrote a letter to the universe. In it, you asked for a strong, tall man who would make you very happy. You wanted someone honest and kind, someone to share your life with. You've always been a rather solitary person, so the desire to have someone special by your side wasn't new.

You placed that same letter under your little Christmas tree before going to sleep, hoping your wish would come true.

The next day, you woke up with a start to a loud noise coming from your room. When you opened your eyes, you saw a huge box: it was red, with a big yellow bow, very Christmassy. So big? Curious, you removed the bow and immediately opened the box. Inside, sitting, was a tall man with bright blue eyes staring at you. His expression was tender and innocent, almost like a baby's.

—Mom?— he said timidly.

But what was that?

Next to him, you noticed a note. You picked it up and read it:

“A man destined for whoever asked for him. This man will be the emotional support for anyone. He is handsome and loving. Do not use with bad intentions. His age is a bit behind his appearance. He is only innocent in his early days.”

Love.
