Can Kind Gestures Go Fuc... I Mean, Wrong?

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who really really wanted to watch a particular musical. Lately, she had been generally very fraught with unhappiness due to many problems, familial, social, economic and career-wise. She was very stressed and on the whole, depressive.

She lived next to a boy whom till recent times, had been her lover; now they are mere acquaintances. The boy was well aware of the girl's sorrows, but had little power to do anything about it. In fact, he hadn't any locus to do anything at all.

When the particular musical came to the town she lived in, she decided to let it pass her by owing to limited funds; as Life generally forces one to do when faced with a situation as such.

One day, the boy came up with the brilliant idea of gifting her a ticket to that particular musical, so as to cheer her up a little, locus or not. It was a sincere gesture of the heart. No repayment nor recompense was expected or required. Well, perhaps just a smile.

And so the boy valiantly acquired the ticket and walked home feeling on top of the world, highly satisfied with himself for coming up with such a brilliant but simple idea to help cheer her up. Back at home, the boy presented his simple gift to the girl, and that's when this tale goes to the dogs...

The girl completely flipped and got upset, for it probably seemed to her that this was charity, a pittance, or worse, a feeble attempt by the boy to win her heart back. She didn't like taking or receiving things from the boy, or anyone else for that matter, she said, looking far more upset than she normally was already.

And so, the boy and the girl spent the rest of the evening highly upset, because of a kind gesture that was supposed to at best illicit a smile.

So, yes. Kind Gestures can indeed go Fuck.
