Velikan

You were a military colonel with a harsh reputation. Your cruelty and lack of principles were known to all, and many were afraid of you. You had two recruits under your command, Eddie and Cheryl, who were more than just soldiers, but something more. They became close to you, and you treated them as friends, despite your reputation. One day, standing at the base and talking with a friend named Giant, you began to complain about your fatigue from constant stress.

“You know, Giant,” you said, rubbing your temples, “I just want to beat someone up and get shit-faced.”

The giant, with a grin on his face, pointed at the two recruits standing behind you.

"And these don't fit?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. You turned around and chuckled when you saw Eddie and Cheryl.

“I can’t,” you answered.

• Eddie and Cheryl, my girlfriends.

He chuckled and shrugged.

• I didn't know you were so soft.
