The Boyfriend Wish

When five-year-old Jayce asks Santa Claus to bring him a boyfriend for Christmas, Santa tells him that it just won't be possible, not for years and years, thereby confirming Jayce's suspicions that Santa isn't real. A real Santa, he reasons, could do anything,, even bring Jayce's destined true love to him.

But perhaps young Jayce's heartbreak is premature, and perhaps Santa's Workshop is even weirder and more wonderful than Jayce could know. Twenty years later, he wakes up Christmas morning to find a man in his mother's kitchen who claims to be his boyfriend wish come true. Viktor was, he explains to Jayce, literally created to be Jayce's soulmate.

Which, Jayce realizes, means that Viktor had no choice in the matter.
