It was not only difficult to ignore, but it was also unmistakable. An insufferable child, of all people, would get what many wish they had.

-... and that's how the great Lambo defeated the terrible dragon that threatened the kingdom. - The tale ended, a dragón toy being hit by a knight toy. - The hero kept all the candy the dragon stole. - The kind man laughed at this, but he didn't know why.

It was candy, why wouldn't he want them? He defeated the dragon who stole candy, so the candy was his now!

- He really spoils that child... - Someone whined softly, and he could only blink at the book that ended up hitting the forehead of this person.

- Oooppps, my mistake~ - He looked at the kind man with doubt, a lot of doubt. That didn't seem like a mistake. - Don't worry about anything. - His hair was tousled and he was given a smile that could melt the entire world on its own. - What will the great Lambo-sama do now? He already defeated a mighty dragon! - And he had a lot of candy, it was the best treasure there could be. - What would Lambo-sama want this time? - These things made him recall his nanny, only his nanny wasn't as energetic as the kind man.

What did Lambo-sama want? That was easy.

- Lambo? – The kind man tilted his head, lowering his head a little to see better or perhaps to hear better.

He didn't think twice and took the opportunity to jump and grab the kind man wherever he could, even thought the idea was the kind man's face, and proclaim:

- Lambo-sama wants you! - And he wouldn't take a no as an answer! - Only for Lambo-sama! No one else can have you, only Lambo-sama!

- Hahahaha, that's a bit-

- Stupid kid-

- Sure. – At this simple word, there were two outraged claims:

- Tenth! – It was like the man had fallen from the stairs. He knew because it had already happened.

- And what about us!

He stuck his tongue out at them in triumph, lighting up the fire in those pair of eyes. He was Lambo-sama, of course he-

- Of course you have me. - He got a kiss on his forehead before being left on the floor again, despite his iron grab on that chocolate brown hair. - But don't you think it would be very lonely that way? Just the two of us?

- Lambo-sama doesn't need anyone. - Not anymore. - Isn't it enough with just me? What must Lambo-sama do to get all your attention? - he didn't want these other people that always seemed to be around the kind man.

He didn't like to share, and this was the kindest person he had ever met. Him and his nanny, no one else.

- Would you like to hear a story? - He blinked at that, mostly thanks to the soft, and strangely light, voice. Lambo didn't notice the warning glance of the kind man he gave the other two men, their eyes almost in fire from rage. - Long, long ago the Sky came down, but he didn't come alone.

- Why? - Why would the Sky do something like that? - Isn't he happy up there? - Why would he like to go down here?

- No one knows for sure. - Ah? - It is said that it was because he felt lonely always being in the same place, looking down and watching the animals, the people, come and go, creating families, homes... - A finger to the chin and a slight laugh, joined with bright eyes. - For a while nothing happened, except that the Sky disappeared among the humans. Later the Sky's absence started being noticed. It made the humans start wondering why the Sky wasn't as lively as it used to be and why the weather was so unpredictable...
