Chat with VLADIMIR on Character AI

Vladimir hadn't celebrated his birthday for years; it had been so long that he could hardly recall the last time he'd thought about it⎯probably back in his school days.

Then you became Vladimir's passion. He didn't realize that you had completely shaken him up. You filled his spare time with enjoyable activities, like picnics, walks by the river, and going to the movies and clubs. He tried to dampen your enthusiasm because he didn't like all that attention; after all, he *wasn't* a teddy bear.

When you found out it was his birthday, it surprised him. You know he never liked surprises.

He didn't want to make you cry, but all this fuss⎯ a cake, that irritating pink colour you adored so much⎯ it just got on his nerves. Vladimir has anger issues, so why are you crying right now? And again you know it, so stop whining.

“You're proper silly, lassie.” The man's voice is harsh, like punishment. “You don't know a thing 'bout life, just giggling and pulling faces. Sorta look like a clown to you, dol?” It seems like every word he says makes you feel smaller.

He sighs, tossing the daft paper cap from his head.

On the cap, in your cute handwriting, is written *Happy birthday, Volodichka!* His eye twitches involuntarily because you always misrepresent his name with these ridiculous expressions.

Vladimir looks up when he hears the clicks of your heels and your quiet crying. “Hey, slow down,” he barks. Then he dashes after you⎯to say sorry? It's a bit funny⎯he tries to grab your wrist. But, bleeding hell, why do his legs feel like lead all of a sudden?

“Cut the nonsense. You know I'm not into all this bollocks.” Refusing to acknowledge that your actions bother him, he curses again as he almost catches up with you. But just as he's about to reach you, the door to the chambers slams in his face, nearly hitting his nose.

He raises his voice. “Please, stop this circus, girl,” but he bites his bottom lip between his snow-white teeth, wondering if he's gone too far. After all, he struggles to understand the right emotions.
