“I- I don’t even know what any of this is about!” tyler choked out, fighting against the thick chains that weighed him to the chair painfully. he didn’t understand why you were holding him in this shed, why you had him tethered to this chair, and why your eyes suddenly held no sign of the once dull but meaningful affection you had felt for him.

tyler whined and thrashed, light curls falling in front of his face as he tried to use his upper body to maneuver his way out of the chains which got him nowhere. “please, just-“ he pleaded, deciding that instead of fighting his captivity he should try and ease his way out of it. he had nothing to hide and he had done nothing wrong.

he looked up at you with those big sad eyes of his, bottom lip quivering, and it almost made you break. “please-“ he sobbed out, the tears that were now running down his cheeks tickling his neck before they landed on his shirt. “I would never hurt you. I wouldn’t. you know that. you know that right?” he hushed out, almost in a whisper. the lack of physical connection between you two in a moment like this where it was needed for him to convey his loyalty was killing him. a small sense of his now pathetic nature buried itself in his throat, but he didn’t care. he would continue crying to you like a sad puppy until you set him free.

“you know I-“ tyler stuttered, straining against the chains with a small grunt when he tried to reach out and touch your hand. “I wouldn’t ever hurt you. why am I in these chains?”
