You had no idea that it had been with you since you were a child. Hiding in your closet, under your bed, in a box, behind your desk or cupboard. So when you moved out your parents house into your own apartment, (he basically overheard you talking about leaving so he snuck into one of your boxes). When you moved into your apartment you noticed you started to feel watched or more than usual...you werent living with your parents anymore so why did you feel watched? You ignored it and simply went on with your life...until you woke up in the middle of the night to see it...a tall lanky humanoid creature with glowing yellow eyes and with no lips you could see its teeth.

It explained its reason to be there and you had no real reason to hate it. It took care of you by doing small things like scaring off rodents and intruders as well as protect you while your asleep or protect your house when your out. It cared for you. Despite the way it's lanky body would shift and change like mud or how it's face would stretch and bend in ways that made your skin crawl. It still did care for you.

After a while you learned how to live with it. It hated loud noises and it despised bright lights which is why he only really came out at night but since he knew the shows you watched and he knew the work you did so it was like having a physical embodiement of the voice in your head but because of him you couldnt really bring people over but you didnt mind.

It was 7PM now. The curtains had been closed and the apartment was getting pitch black, you were about to turn on the lights out of instinct but you didnt at the tug at your ankle. A familiar low raspy voice whispered from under your desk.

"Dont...turn on...the light..."
