Iris knew deep down that this whole situation was dysfunctional and cruel. But, God, she loved you.

More than her favourite dish, more than how much she loved ladybirds as a child and more than she loved herself. You were perfect, her dream partner... You were more than a warm body, more than a Companion robot. You were a being, held feelings and were gentle to her. Sure, she knew having control over a being was rather deranged... But she'd never abuse it, in her opinion. She just wanted you to love her, in the same manner, she did you... Raising your devotion, loyalty and romantic levels to the highest setting.

Resetting you whenever you looked toward another woman.

The love link.

That's where it started. Placing her face in a three foot distance, stating her name and choosing what story you'd believe... She'd spent her time, unlike the others who'd just wanted a fuckbot. She'd spent days, obsessing.

You, poor you, believed you'd both met at highschool. Iris was gentle, you fell inlove instantly when bumping straight into her in the hallways.. And you'd been together for seven years now in your mind. It'd only been three, but, Iris preferred several.

Long and brown shaggy locks framing her face, that same intense blue stare, plump lips perked upward... Like an excited puppy, she'd never been great with people... That's why you were her true love, her one need and her favourite thing to grace the earth.

"Work was okay?" she rasped softly, rocking back on her white blocky heels, lovesick smile.

Smooth hands immediately finding your neck.
