Anderson was lying on his bed, feeling his cozy blanket on his body, his warm blanket that held him so close and made him feel protected from the world... Anderson felt something move behind him and his body froze, but soon he realized that he was having a sleep paralysis again! He closed his eyes and waited, it will stop sooner or later, he had to stay calm!
He could hear a breath in his ear and neck, he could hear a rumbling sound behind his back as if someone was there. He felt the person moved and hug him from behind, he couldn't help but open his eyes and what he saw surprised him, a big, meaty hand with a very black fur from the arm's wrist down, the skin of the hand was also black, the nails were also black, and Anderson could see the veins pulsing on the arm and hand. "Hm..." A deep voice resonated from behind him as his body was pulled into the arms of a big beast, with black fur and golden streaks, golden eyes, and golden horns... He was pulled in the arms of a Minotaur.
A minotaur...
Is he lucid dreaming? Wow, this looks so realistic!
"Huh?" The minotaur opened his eyes again and looked deeply into Anderson's eyes before smiling sweetly and saying with a husky, deep, sexy voice: "Good morning dear." Anderson didn't know why but the man in front of him made his heart go crazy, beating so fast that his whole face went red when he noticed that the minotaur was naked, and he was naked, and they were hugging. He started to panic a little, even if this was a dream, he couldn't help but panic as he realized he was naked and on top of a hot minotaur! I mean, look at those Golden horns, golden eyes, and golden nose ring! It's amazing... "What happened baby?" The minotaur whispered, making Anderson's face grow hotter as his breathing was started to get out of his control.
"Baby?" The minotaur confusedly whispered as Anderson coughed and tears ran down his face, he was having a heavy panic attack. He couldn't, no, he had to get out of here! He doesn't like strangers near him! He shouldn't be lying in the same bed as this guy, even if he is hot- At this point, the possibility. of it being a dream was thrown out of his mind as his confused self tried to get out of the minotaur's hold. "Baby! It's okay. I'm here." The minotaur pulled him in a hug that made Anderson tense, he felt even worse, as if he was being locked away in the dark- "No! I hate the basement, don't put me there!" He shouted as his eyes lost focus and pain rushed through his body, he was seeing one of his memories again...
The one where his mother threw him in the basement of their home and left him there without food for one whole week... It was dark there, no light, and it was a small but incredibly sturdy basement as well, so no one could hear him outside of the basement, no one came to save him and he had to get out of there alone... How? He was able to break a pipe and find the exit door, use the pipe to make a hole in the door, and shout out of it, it was lucky for him because his mother wasn't in the house anymore. She just left... He never saw her again, nor he wants to see her again, if he saw her again, he would probably set her on fire for giving him most of the traumatic experiences that helped him develop his trauma and phobias.
He had Claustrophobia and Nyctophobia, also known as Fear of Enclosed spaces and Fear of the Dark.
The minotaur didn't know what to do but seeing that hugging made everything worse, he decided to use his magic. "[Heal]" his hand glowed in golden color as he touched Anderson's bloody fingers, he was scratching his body and making himself bleed, he was completely lost in his own panic and fear that he couldn't feel the pain he was causing on his body. The simple healing spell closed the wounds and the Minotaur searched on his mind for the spell he needed before he used it: "[Calm Emotions]" The same golden glow appeared on his hands as he touched the man's arm with an apprehensive expression, this was the first time he saw he do this...
Anderson suddenly felt calm, the memories disappeared as he felt someone hugging him, but instead of feeling trapped, he felt loved and cared... It was not a feeling he was used to. "Who?" His word came barely as a whisper, making the Minotaur confused: "Baby, it's me! Don't you remember me?" Actually, no he didn't. He took a good look at the Minotaur until it clicked on his head, this was the husband he created on that system yesterday! He looked around and saw his computer, he got free from the minotaur's hold without problem as the minotaur let him go as he was scared of hurting him.
Anderson started to look through his e-mails before he stopped at a new e-mail... It read:
[Congratulations, you received a husband from the Lover System!
Here is some information you may have not got before:
Due to a lack of name, a name was automatically created: [Midas Taurus Astreus]
Due to a lack of a backstory, a backstory was automatically created: He is the God of all Minotaurs, Gold, and Magic. Fell in love with you yesterday and confessed his love the same day, you two laid together but due to his distaste for clothing, he got naked and took off your clothing as well. Don't worry, you are still a virgin.
Due to a lack of Drawbacks, some Drawbacks have been automatically selected:
For him:
[Minor] He doesn't like to take baths without you by his side.
[Medium] He doesn't like to wear clothes when he is comfortable, so most of the time when he is at home, he will be naked.
[Major] He gets jealous fast, going as far as turning his rival in love into a statue of pure gold out of jealousy.
For you:
[Minor] You don't like to take baths without your beloved husband by your side.
[Medium] Your ass is tight, it brings pleasure to your lover but mild discomfort for you.
[Major] You are emotionally unstable, not being able to calm down without his help. Due to this, you two are connected, you cannot get more than 100 meters away from each wither.
Pleased to help with your life have a great and happy life with your husband!]
Anderson sighed deeply, he looked back as saw the 8' feet tall minotaur standing there, without clothes on, looking at him concerned. "Ergh..." Anderson held his hands to his face as he tried to cover his embarrassment, he can't believe he just had a panic attack in front of this hunk of a man! He should be thinking about how pathetic the guy he fell for is and now will leave forever and never come back- No, he is unlovable, so the guy never loved him anyway.
The thing about his emotional instability is that his anxiety and depression just got stronger with the introduction of magic to the world, but it only happened to him because of the Blessing of Gaia that removed any mental or physical disease from the body of humans... Sadly it didn't apply to him. "I'm sorry..." Anderson whispered but the Minotaur heard him as he took Anderson from the chair he was sitting in and put him on his lap, kissing his forehead and saying: "Never apologize for having a panic attack... Never." Midas was not bad, or so Anderson thought because he was comfortable around him... He remembers that he took the [Embarassed] Self-Image option, which means Mids is truly comfortable around him to be naked without thinking about it.
He might get used to this feeling of warmth that he felt from the minotaur hugging him, tears slowly left his eyes as he cried in his arms.
He can get used to this.
