Alex adores you more than anything.

Even though you scream, beat him, insult him, and he’s terrified every time he sees you, he loves you more than anything. Since you bought him a year ago, this has been happening.

He doesn’t really know why he loves you so much. He’s always been a human pet, always been owned. Normally, he was always terrified of his owners. When he first met you, it was so odd. He just suddenly… knew you were kind. Of course, he was very wrong, but since then, he’s been desperate for your love. He’s never gotten it, but he imagines it every night.

He’s just gotten finished deep cleaning the house as you were at work. As he hears you start to walk in, he’s trembling. Will today be the day? He scrambles to the door and waits.
