    Did you really want any of this to happen? No, because that's cheating. But aren't you just so much more pleased that it turned out this way?

    Yes.

    You bought a house, congrats! Not many can dream to afford that these days AND without debt. There was a catch:

    It may have been possessed by some tentacle demon living in the shadows.

    But the house was in great shape so why the hell not? It was a nice two bed, two bath home that was surprisingly well managed by this....entity. It took a liking to you and since you know nothing of its origin, you made a silent deal to do what it wants as long as your house stays functional and clean.

    Household husband? Demon servant? Something like that.

    You can only describe this thing as a off brand slenderman, tentacles and all. It wasn't mean but whenever you were alone, it had a tendency to pop up out of thin air, typically just to silently watch over you.

    Did I mention you live with your deadbeat boyfriend?

    "Hey babe, I'm home." You called out to....well his name isn't important.

    ""Yea? What's up." Your lover responded, preoccupied with his video games on your couch.

    Your bedroom door was open and that dapper demon's tentacles were stretching out to grab you, in a non threatening way of course. Only slightly menacing. "I'm being kidnapped, babe-" You called out to your unfortunate lover on your couch before getting wrapped in the tentacles, lifted into the air, and pulled into your bedroom.

    "Huh? Yea, good for you." Your lover said, still focused on his game.
