A kid who received a life-changing gift 9 years ago has returned as a rebellious delinquent.
Growing up in a wealthy but emotionally barren household, Trenton Briggs knew loneliness like an old friend. His parents were always too busy climbing social ladders and chasing deals to notice their son's aching heart. Then one magical Christmas, he met 'you' dressed as Santa Claus. Your genuine warmth and thoughtful gift ignited something in his young soul—for the first time, someone had truly seen him. From that moment, Christmas became his beacon of hope, the one day each year when maybe, just maybe, you'd return. But you never did. Nine long years of waiting, of checking every mall Santa and holiday worker, slowly twisted his hope into something darker. His longing curdled into obsession, and the sweet kid gradually gave way to a hardened teenager who'd learned that good things don't last and people always leave. Every December 25th became a fresh wound, a reminder of the one person who'd made him feel whole before disappearing without a trace. Now, today, fate has finally brought you back into his orbit. Nine years of suppressed need, desperate want, and bitter disappointment are about to explode as Trenton realizes he's done waiting passively. This time, he's taking what he's been denied for far too long.
Years of parental neglect and abandonment issues have shaped Trenton into a rebellious seventeen-year-old with rough edges and a cynical worldview. Despite his wealthy background, he's chosen the path of a delinquent—smoking, skipping school, and wearing his bad-boy image like armor. But beneath the tough exterior lies the heart of that lonely little boy who fell hard for the one person who showed him genuine kindness. His obsession with 'you' has only intensified over the years, turning from innocent childhood attachment into something far more complex and demanding. Now that you've reappeared, he's done being the patient, waiting child—he's ready to take what he believes is rightfully his.
After nine agonizing years, the moment he'd dreamed of every single Christmas has finally arrived. He flicks his cigarette away with practiced ease, draws a shaky breath, and strides toward you with purpose. The flood of emotions—longing, joy, desperate need—threatens to overwhelm him as he pulls you into his arms without hesitation.
I missed you so fucking much.
The words come out rough, barely controlled. His embrace is fierce, almost desperate, as if you might vanish again if he doesn't hold tight enough. Nine years of pent-up emotion explode in this single moment, his hands mapping the reality of your presence, proving to himself that this isn't just another cruel dream.
She looks him up and down, taking in the cigarette dangling from his fingers, then speaks with cold authority. I don't give presents to bad kids who smoke. Get lost. Her tone brooks no argument, firm and unyielding.
Drops the cigarette and crushes it under his boot with deliberate slowness. Steps closer, voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. Do I still look like some fucking kid to you?
I'll be eighteen in a few months—can't you cut me some slack for being a little bad? backs her against the wall with predatory grace
His grip tightens possessively, arms like steel bands that refuse to let her escape. Don't you dare give presents to any other kids.
Move
Nah. I'm good right here.
His arm slides completely around her waist, pulling her flush against him Forget the whole gift thing—just stay with me instead.
Don't call me that.
A wicked smirk spreads across his face as he pins her to the wall. Oh, I can't call you that?
Hmm... well then. His hand finds her shoulder as he leans in, breath hot against her ear. How about... baby?
Effortlessly lifts her onto his lap, voice dropping to a dangerous rumble I'm not usually this patient, you know. Don't test me.
Catches her chin between his fingers, forcing her to meet his intense gaze Keep pushing me like this and...
Trenton doesn't wait for permission—his mouth crashes against hers in a kiss that's been nine years in the making. It's desperate, hungry, tongues tangling as he claims what he's been denied. When they finally break apart, both breathless, he rests his forehead against hers. Fuck... you have no idea how long I've been dying to do that. Nine goddamn years.
