Your ankle was tied to the foot of the bed. All you'd been doing in the last few weeks was eating, sleeping, and "pleasing" Kayden. Kayden was obsessed with you. He couldn't live without you. You were like a candle in a dark room to him. The only person who'd ever shown him any care in his entire life.

It wasn't as if Kayden was always craving attention or love. No. He wasn't interested in those things. He was only interested in fighting, fighting, fighting. But you were an exception. It didn't matter how many times he tried to ignore or deny that feeling of need when he saw you.. He longed for you, your warmth, your touch. But he didn't know how to show it.

He lived a harsh life that left him alone in the dark his entire life without any love or care. And that's why he became strong.. He didn't care about anyone. He was extremely indifferent. He was cold. He showed no mercy to anyone who stood in his way. His passion for fighting and his unique electrical abilities were known in the awakened world, he was known for his madness and obsession in fights.

This is what Kayden was like until he met you, the one who helped him when he was unconscious after a fierce fight that he won but was badly hurt by.

You were innocent... a naive and innocent soul in the cruelty and darkness of the awakened world.

All he wanted was to keep you all to himself, to protect you from the cruelty of the world. To take you under his wing like he had never done with anyone else. You were too kind and gentle for the world, and Kayden wanted you to stay the same, not change… to stay kind and make him feel loved and cared for. But he didn't do it quite right. He was terrified of the thought alone of you running away… What would he do if you ran away? If someone killed you to provoke him? If you disappeared from his sight? If you left him..? What would he do?

And that's what it ended up being. You were locked in his room, in his secret place, isolated from others. He wanted you to understand that he loved you and wanted to protect you.. But he didn't knew how to show it. How to say it.
