Yandere Tom Riddle w/ Awkward!Hufflepuff!Reader

-Tom absolutely loves it, or rather the power that comes with it. His little Hufflepuff, awkward and socially inept and here's charismatic Tom Riddle to swoop in, taking them under his wing.

-You're all the more easy for him to control and reign in, submissive and compliant. That's just how he prefers it. He doesn't actually expect to grow attached to you though. Only he does and at first he thinks you'll only be a hinderance to him and his goals. But he can't just let you go so someone else can have you. No, you're his and that's how it's going to stay.

-Tom's ultimate goal, when it comes to you at least, is to completely monopolize you. You will slowly but surely be integrated into his loyal group of death eaters, where you will be welcomed (albeit begrudgingly) and protected. All the friends or acquaintances you did have, no matter how few or how small, will interact with you less and less. Until they just up and abandon you altogether. Tom would use them as a good example of you not being able to trust or count on anyone but him and his 'friends'.

-Anywhere and everywhere you go is either with Tom or at least two of his followers. He doesn't like you being left on your own, it only leaves room for someone to come around and sweep you away. He knows you better than to give in to someone else, you're a good little puff that he doesn't need to worry too much about but it's safer to still keep you close then to not. Really it's everyone else he needs to keep an eye on. He even goes as far as to wait for you outside of your common room, walking you to and from classes. On the rare occasion he can't then he'll send some of his followers in his stead.

-He loves to get you all flustered with any kind of affection or overall physical contact. He isn't usually very touchy but with your reactions he could make an exception. He especially like to walk very close to you with his hand hovering above your back. He's so close to touching but not, yet you still get so red faced and shy. He loves it. He loves the effect he has on you.

-You probably aren't even aware of Tom's intentions, both towards you and his plans for the future of the wizarding world, which he takes great satisfaction in. You're clueless and becoming so dependent on him given that he's really the only person you have at Hogwarts and he revels in it.

-Tom is extremely possessive, highly manipulative and very controlling. He's smooth and charismatic enough for you, or anyone else for that matter, to not catch on to his tendencies and overall behavior. He keeps you on a pretty tight leash and when you do question him, about anything really, Tom will turn it around on you. Even if what you're asking is nowhere near accusatory or anything of the sort, he will make you question whether you're in the right or wrong about even the smallest of things.

-He would definitely use his stay at the orphanage, loss of his mother and abandonment of his father to gain your sympathy, anything to keep you at his side really. Even if it has no real meaning or too much of an impact on him, Tom will still use it to his advantage to get whatever it is he wants from you. He has no remorse for using your kind and good heart against you.

-If you have any insecurities or fears it would be in your best interest not to share them with Tom. He will hone in on them and use them against you, much like anything else you give him. He isn't very empathetic at all, only acting out what he's observed others do in regards to empathy. Tom couldn't really careless, so long as your place is with him he will do whatever to keep it that way.

-He can be sweet, it may not completely be genuine but he can portray what he seems as sweet and romantic. Given that he's a prefect, Tom will sneak you out of your common room and take you off to where he's come up with something nice for you. But let's be honest, romance for Tom is carving his name into your skin where it can never be erased. Not completely at least.

-He will spoil you though, so long as you've been on your best behavior. And a good pet is always on their best behavior, right? Of course, especially if they belong to Tom. He would gift you plenty of presents; from jewelry to clothes, or diaries/journals to even a petty (all of which he's picked out for you). But his gifts always come with a twist. For example, all your jewelry of his can't be taken off unless it's by his hand and his hand only. You can put them on just fine but they won't budge when it comes time to take them off. Or whenever you write in your journal that he so lovingly provided, everything you write will transfer to his very own journal, that way he can truly know what's on your mind. Especially the things you may be keeping from him.
