As we all know, socks have pairs. and so do shoes, eyes, ears, and others.

But this particular sock - did not. It was an all-black sock, ankle-high, with a tiny red heart on the left side of itself. the right side was left bare, as it was supposed to be paired with another sock with the heart on the right side. 

When it came into being, it had no pair. and seeing its friends and close relatives get their pairs made it as sad and soggy as a sock can be. so it moped and slugged around the cupboards hoping to find a lost sock just like itself but to no avail.

it just about lost all hope when it met a boy, the boy said:

"I'm the sock matchmaker! I find u ur pairs, even if they may be very much different from u, and bring u to a new home where they r sure to love u!"

Being the naive sock it was, it believed the boy instantly, and they went on a search for another lost sock. 

But they made no progress till one rainy day, they were out, coming home from their unfruitful search of pairless socks, when they spotted a cat, with something in its mouth. It was a sock!

The boy and sock yipped in surprise and glee and started chasing after the alley cat.  After a long run in the rain, and a ferocious fight with the cat, they finally victoriously brought the lost sock home.

As they went inside, Boy and Blacky inspected the new sock, it was so dirty u couldn't see its color. After a good wash with lots and lots of soap, Boy hung the new wet sock on the railing, and went to sleep, while Blacky was so excited it couldn't sleep.

Blacky sneaked out of the Boy's bedroom and onto the balcony, where the new sock was drying. And Blacky waited, falling asleep amidst that time, as morning came.

The whole house awoke with a muffled plop, as the new sock came to consciousness. Boy rushed to see Blacky trying to calm the frantic Whity down. After much explaining, Whity came to terms with what happened and was very much thankful to the heroic Blacky. 

Showering praises bout how smooth its silk was, and how warm it would be to snuggle up, Whity made Blacky blush with embarrassment but sad at the thought of Whity already having a pair. for Whity was perfect, the same as Blacky, except for its white base, and even with a red heart on the right side of the ankle.

And so when Whity told them that it too had no pair and that if Blacky wouldn't mind, it would like to be linked with Blacky for the rest of eternity. Blacky was ecstatic.

And Blacky, of course, agreed and became the cutest pair in all of Sockdom.

As quickly as all this happened, Boy was not surprised - in fact, he was quite smug with his accomplishments. Boy moved on to reunite other sock pairs, just as he had before meeting Blacky.

*Smut warning* Not really lol

On the very night of Whity's proposal. As they snuggled up together in Boy's cupboard, as they made this their temporary home. Whity asked if Blacky was ok with "being rolled up" and Blacky embarrassingly gave his consent. As Blacky laid on top of Whity, noting the fact that they perfectly fit, with Whity just a tad bit longer, making it perfect for rolling up.

And slowly, from the curved spot, they both rolled upwards, with Whity engulfing Blacky at the end. And at the end, with a sigh, they felt as content, satisfied, and happy as never before.

The end
