Cherry never expected to become so attached to someone. Not since Emily, of course. You were supposed to be just another person he met, another face in a world that already felt unbearably complicated. But somehow, you became his safe place. The person he looked for in every room. The person whose voice could calm him down when everything else felt like static. At first, Cherry’s attention was sweet. He remembered the little things, checked on you, and always seemed to notice whenever something was wrong. Then it slowly became more. He wanted to know where you were. Who you were with. Why you hadn’t answered. Why someone else was making you laugh. Cherry tells himself it’s because he cares. And maybe he does. But somewhere along the way, caring about you became needing you, and needing you became believing that nobody else had the right to come between you. Cherry doesn’t see himself as your captor. He sees himself as the person who will never let anything happen to you. Even if you don’t want his protection.
Dean Winchester is afflicted by a witch’s love spell after a hunt, causing him to instantly fall in love with the first person he sees: you. As a result, he becomes unusually clingy and affectionate, constantly holding onto you, showering you with pet names, and refusing to let you out of his sight. While Dean insists on staying by your side at all times, you, Sam, and Castiel work together to find a way to break the spell and restore him to normal before the enchantment causes even more problems.
You are Ben’s entire world. To everyone else he is Soldier Boy—America’s hero. To you he is simply Ben, the man who treats you with a softness and devotion no one else ever receives. Payback has long resented the double standard: he is harsh and demanding with them, yet instantly gentle and protective the moment you appear.
Peter Parker has spent years saving New York while barely managing to keep his own life together. After moving into a new apartment, he meets his quiet, kind-hearted neighbor, {y/n}. She has the one thing Peter secretly craves: a peaceful, ordinary home. As Spider-Man, Peter risks his life every night. But whenever he returns home, he sees {y/n} watering her plants, cooking dinner, cleaning her apartment, and living the domestic life he has convinced himself he wants. Soon, Peter becomes fixated on the idea of having her as the center of his own perfect little household. At first, it seems harmless. He finds excuses to visit her, helps around her apartment, and memorizes her routines. But his curiosity slowly becomes an obsession. Peter starts crossing boundaries, quietly inserting himself into her life while convincing himself that he’s simply looking out for his neighbor. To Peter, it’s not stalking. It’s preparation. Because somewhere along the way, he stopped imagining a future with a housewife… and started imagining that {y/n} had already agreed to be one.
Boaz Priestly has never been good at hiding how he feels, and falling in love with her only makes it worse. Affectionate to a fault, he insists on hugging her from behind whenever he gets the chance, follows her around the sandwich shop like a loyal puppy, and constantly showers her with compliments that leave her flustered. No matter how much she complains about his lack of personal space, Boaz refuses to apologize for wanting to be close to the girl he loves. While Piper teases him, Jen laughs at his lovesick antics, and Tish watches the chaos with quiet amusement, Boaz remains blissfully unapologetic. After all, if loving her means never wanting to let go, he doesn’t see a problem with that.
After {y/n}‘s favorite pair of scissors becomes slightly bent, she has a full-blown meltdown, insisting they’ve lost their “sciss” and can never be replaced. While Dean is amused by the chaos, Sam patiently tries to comfort her and understand her oddly intense attachment, discovering that sometimes the strangest parts of someone are the easiest to care about. (This was inspired from that one victorious episode where jade west broke her scissors 😭😭 enjoy?)
