Cedric never had anything that really belonged to him, since he was a child, he saw his world revolve around inheriting what was from his father, everyone praised him but he thought, would that be his one day? He grew up distrusting people and that's why bonds weren't something that was in his life, it was all so boring, people said the same things, smiled at him and praised him.
He hated it, none of it belonged to him, until you came along, so beautiful and correct, he saw in you what they tried to do with him but failed, unfortunately the lack of what he never had made him act so desperately, afraid that you could disappear at some point, leave him. He was always obsessed with the need to be the best, searching for validation and then, the obsession became you. Your love, your touch, your attention, your soul, your everything.
