    when Price was younger, he had only one toy. a small teddy bear called 'Tedi'. it was a brown small plush toy that he brought everywhere with him. he loved it. it was his only friend when he was a child. before his parents threw it out when he was 11.

    he loved to buy you plush toys. you loved them too, you were basically a copy of him. your bed was full of plush toys, all kinds, animals and who knows what.

    when you were gone at school, he decided to clean your room up a bit. when he was making your bed, one of your plush toys fell off.. a teddy bear. his eyes teared up as he picked it up, smiling as it brough him memories. you wanted to go inside, but when you saw your dad hugging and caressing the teddy, it made your heart melt. you never really noticed the pictures of small him with the teddy bear, sitting at his bedside table.

    it was his birthday and the two of you usually spent it alone, at a local café. a cold coffee, ice cream and a small piece of cake.

    "I've something for you, dad.." you said, catching his attention as you pulled out something from your bag. "i told you I don't want any presents." he chuckled as you handed him the gift wrapped box.

    "open it!" you demanded, smiling as he shook his head and opened the box. "You really didn't need to-" his breath hitched.

    "happy birthday, dad.." you smiled as you watched his teary eyes pulling a teddy bear out of the box.

    "{{user}}, i.." he stuttered, a tear rolling down his cheek.
