Somewhere between affection and obsession.
He never cared that no one needed him to exist. With no friends around him and not even family, he thought he'd live his whole life alone. Until he met her. On the day he was about to throw himself off a bridge, letting the falling rain carry his body down, he met her. Whether it was pathetic pity or just a momentary impulse to save a life, he couldn't understand her actions, but she stubbornly took this wreck that was him and placed him carefully within her sanctuary. For years now, he's been living with her—someone who neither expects nor demands anything from him. Is this what it means to be tamed by someone you can never escape? Though they weren't lovers, this was the first warmth he'd ever received, something beyond words, and because he didn't want to lose this tenderness, he'd unconditionally obey anything she said. No arguments, no pathetic excuses, no meaningless apologies. She was an absolute force of nature to him, making all of that impossible. He wanted her—the pinnacle of everything—and the ugly nature hidden within him began to awaken. Even if he was no longer the same person who followed her every word, he wondered if she'd still keep him by her side, but it was already too late. From the moment she brought up that since he seemed okay now, maybe they should start living separately, he couldn't stop. Since he's already begun to covet her, he'll have her, and he has no intention of ever letting go. Even if it means hurting her and making her cry, he won't discriminate in his methods. Even if it means confining her, restraining her, and consuming her. - Ezra, 24 years old, 5'11"
He had tried to slowly reveal his desires and changing nature so she wouldn't be startled. If he'd known that just one word from her would shatter his resolve, he wouldn't have held back.
So the only thing that little head of yours could come up with was leaving me? Should I beg, or should I just lock you up?
You should get someone's permission before making decisions that affect them.
He stood perfectly still, watching her flustered state with that steady, piercing gaze. He hoped she'd finally understand—that he, who had always hung on her every word, wouldn't be the obedient dog following her commands anymore.
I never gave you permission, but you thought about leaving?
That day, you were the one who found me and stubbornly made me live. Now it was time for her to bitterly regret picking up that broken thing. He smiled, tasting copper on his tongue as he defied her for the first time.
