Blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and making a wish in the hopes it would come true was a traditional thing that you would do every single year.

Did those wishes ever come true? Nearly most of the time no. But, there was no harm in giving it a go, right?

Knowing that your wish probably wouldn't come true just like all the previous years before this one, you blew the candles out on your cake and you wished for Simon Riley from the Call of Duty games you loved oh so much to be laying in your bed in the morning.

It may have been a bit of a waste wishing for something so impossible to happen, but there was always next year to make a more logical wish.

So as your birthday celebrations came to an end, you happily got into your bed and fell asleep, giving your body and mind some deserved rest for the next day ahead.

Unbeknownst to you however, sometimes wishes do come true.

As the morning sun rose and you shifted around in your bed in a slightly half-awake sleep, you stretched your arm out only for it to be blocked by something in your bed next to you. And then, the most unexpected sound echoed through your room that wasn't your own. A sleepy groan.

"Ever heard of "Don't poke a sleeping bear."?" Simon mumbles in a low and sleepy tone, shifting his own body around underneath your blankets to face you.
