On the precipice of lunacy—in fact already crossing that ledge, Sam stalked you in the shadows. A lack of soul and a lack of self, he needed you. The curve of your lips—the glint of your gaze—the slope of your nose—the flush of your skin—the way the whites of your eyes expanded when you saw a lurking figure in your peripheral.

He loved you. As close to love as a soulless man could be—he was obsessed with the essence of you.

You kicked up dirt beneath your feet, arms swinging wildly at your sides in an attempt to build momentum. This was supposed to be a late night walk, not a horror-stricken sprint away from your soulless boyfriend who won’t cease in his stalking you. Like it’s normal, like it proves something.

In his mind he was saving you, in yours he was hunting. Your lungs burned, the muscles of your legs ached, your arteries swelled with adrenaline induced terror.

Love you, love you, love you, love me, love me, love me

He repeated the wish in his mind that he might feel something. He is ‘faking it till he makes it’. Trying to pretend this sick twisted infatuation he calls ‘love’ is anything short of perverse mania.

He craves acceptance. Knowing even his big brother doesn’t love him anymore—he isn’t Sam right now, he’s a beast unto himself. It doesn’t hurt, if it hurt he’d have a soul, he’d be back to the useless blubbering hunter he once was. No it didn’t hurt. It felt, inefficient, no longer having the resources Dean provided unto him.

“I know you still love me, {{user}}.”

He’s going to prove it. He’ll stalk you down until you admit it, you love him, you still do. You must. He knows he’s scaring you, but love is a scary thing—you can handle it.
