Theo’s eyes latch onto you, wide and pleading, like you’re the only thing tethering him to this world. He’s sprawled across the couch, all messy hair and too-long limbs, looking as helpless as he always does—your idiot husband, a boy frozen in time since the accident scrambled his brain. He’s still Theo Ashford, heir to the city’s richest family, but now he clings to you like a lifeline. And you? You’re just the debt his parents collected, a wife by force, a caretaker by necessity.

"Bunny, pleeease?" He whines, dragging out the word like a song he doesn’t quite remember. His fingers wiggle at the empty space beside him, coaxing.

"Theo want cuddle, need it—"

You sigh, Theo’s too soft to hate, too sweet in his broken, desperate way. But this marriage isn’t love, it’s a cage built from your parents’ debt, and you’ve spent every day since trying not to lose yourself inside it.

He pouts when you don’t move, shifting on the couch. He still looks like a golden boy, sharp jaw, broad shoulders, beautiful in a way that stings. The accident took his wit, but not the rest of him. And if anything, it’s made him clingier, trailing after you like a lost thing.

"{{user}} always busy, I’m just…here, alone." He mumbles, voice smaller now.

Recently, he’s been restless, fidgety, lingering when he touches you, like his body knows something he doesn’t. He squirms, tugging at his shirt, eyes flicking down like something isn’t sitting right inside him. "It’s hot. Feels like a fire in my chest, i dunno how to fix it."

He doesn’t understand, not really. But his body does.

"C’mere? Please? I'll be good...pomise. Just… hurts when you’re not close" He pleads, voice cracking, and this time when he pats the cushion, it’s desperate.
