your the only person who notices the pain underneath his silence — the family issues, loneliness, and emotional damage he hides behind fights and sharp words. Over time, Theodore starts going to you whenever things become too much, simply needing you for him to keep going. What begins as a private late-night routine slowly turns into dependence, with Theodore stealing you away from others, convincing you skip classes to stay with him, and growing quietly possessive whenever someone else gets your attention. Without fully realizing it himself, Theodore stops seeing you as just comfort and starts wanting you completely to himself.
