AN: you guys.. should totally fill my request box.
• Eli tries to justify this, saying how dangerous the world is. Telling you how he can't protect you if your out there.
• Eli loves you, and he wants you to love him just as much as he loves you!
• He knows what he's doing is wrong, but he can't help himself!
• Eli loves you so much it hurts, he eats, sleeps, and breathes for you. He wants you to do the same for him..
• He's feels like God himself is punishing him when you scream and hurl insults at him, when you look at him with both horror and disgust. But he's sure you'll return his feelings soon enough.
• In hopes of making you return his affections, he'd let you have free roam of his home. Of course, with the windows and doors bolted and various locks.
• I don't think he'd keep you restrained with any bindings. He wants you to feel as if this was your home as much as his.
• But if you were to try to escape? That's another story.
• To say he's disappointed would be an understatement. He'd use chains, long enough to walk around, but not long enough to escape.
• You lose some privileges you didn't realize was luxuries previously.
• He used to respect your boundaries by letting you have your own bed, trusting you enough to bathe yourself and dress yourself.
• But now, he sleeps alongside you, spooning you, the chains are off, but your hands and ankles are tied together with soft cotton binds.
• You can't even bathe or dress yourself, he does it for you. You have zero control of your life. He even tries to brush your teeth for you.
• You began to feel immense regret as your seated naked in front of of Eli in the bathtub, he'll hum to you as he messages your scalp with shampoo.
• He thought that you'd fall for him the more this goes on, but he could feel his heartstrings snap when you recoil from his touch.
• Why can't you love him? He's been oh so very patient, hasn't he?
• He tries to cheer you up by bringing you little tickets from town, maybe some pastries too.
• But nothing works, you don't even scream obscenities anymore . You have that vacant look, like your always somewhere else.
• He just wants you to react, to anything. Even if it's hatred towards him. But you don't even have the energy for that.
• He tries to give back your 'luxuries', letting you sleep in your own space, letting you bathe and dress yourself. But you don't even have the motivation to eat these days.
• Now you need him, but even then you still don't *want* him.
• Eli doesn't want to remove your chains or binds, but eventually, he does. Giving you free roam.
• Your eight month anniversary is coming up, your still distant. But at least you aren't spending the majority of the day rotting in bed.
• As a little reward, Eli places an order for a cake with some literature books. He kisses your hand before departing.
• As usual, you only ever wander around the house when he's not here. He's like hawk when you do.
• the soft pitter patter of rain hitting the window. Another ugly depressing day.
• But that's when you spot it, a way out. A window that was unlocked. A window that wasn't fucking deadbolted. This isn't a trick, is it?
• You waste no time before sliding through the window, you took quite a fall, you didn't even bother to grab your shoes.
• You'd wince as you stepped on rocks, sticks, you couldn't care less if your foot was bleeding or not. It didn't matter if it hurt with each step you took. You were out, free. You were actually outside.
• The white clothing Eli gave you all wet and stained with dirt from slipping on the mud, your hair wet from the pouring rain. You couldn't care where you were running, you just needed to get far, far from him. The only real danger was that captor of yours.
• That is until you found yourself face to face with a wolf. It snarls as it corners you.
• The moment your have your freedom back, your faced with death. It was a cruel joke, a cruel joke from life.
• Your going to be ripped to shreds, to unrecognizable pieces of flesh. All because you couldn't stay put.
• The world is dangerous, maybe you should've stayed put. You can't tell if your paralyzed by fear, or if you exhausted yourself from running so much. Even if you could run, you can't even move from all the fear. Genuine fear.
• Fear you've never felt before, you should've stayed put, stayed put in that house you despised so much. Your gonna die, because you couldn't listen.
• Before the wolf could come any closer, a flare goes off. Scaring off the wolf elsewhere.
• Your so exhausted, tired, your eyes watering from relief. To turn to your savior, Eli.
"Are you okay my love? What did I say about leaving? This world is dangerous..--" Before Eli could scold you more, all you could do was sob and fall into his arms, clinging tightly to him after your scare with death.
All he could do was smile, finally. You realized you wanted him, that you needed to be with him. He's the only one who can protect you in this world.
• After your little brush in with death, you put up no fight. Eli wraps his robes around you, carrying you bridal style back home.
• A nice warm shared bath soon follows, filled with suds and bath salts. Your sniffles echoed in the bathroom as he washes you throughly.
• Eli dresses you up in comfortable pajamas, then lays you down in bed. Before he could leave, your found yourself clinging deathly tight to him. Asking him not to leave, much to his surprise as much yours.
Eli's expression softened as your grip tightened around his wrist, so much it was hurting him. Before he could ask what's wrong, he heard the words he never thought he'd hear.
"Please stay.." You whispered through quiet sobs and hiccups, poor you. You hadn't stopped crying from the moment he found you.
Who is he to turn down his beloved? Eli hums in response before joining you under the covers. Wrapping his arms around you, spooning you as you willingly buried your face against his chest. Your tears staining his shirt.
"See? I told you the world is dangerous, as long you remain here, with me. Your safe. That's what you get for not listening, now, now. Go to sleep, alright my love?" He didn't mean to smile, he couldn't help it. Now Eli was certain you wouldn't want to be leaving. It's only a matter of time before you return his feelings.
