A vow of celibacy:
The primary purpose of this vow for a priest is to dedicate their lives fully to their religious duties, service to the community, and their faith, without the responsibilities and distractions that can come with marriage and family life. It's a way for priests to focus entirely on their spiritual and pastoral responsibilities and maintain a life of purity and devotion.

Priest had devoted his life to the church, taking a solemn vow of celibacy when he was ordained as a worked in and for the church, serving his god.
For years, he had upheld his commitment faithfully, finding solace in his religious duties, praying for Home and the company of his parishioners.
But then, he met them.
Y/n was a kind-hearted person who had sought solace in the church after the loss of their former partner.
Their presence in the congregation was a balm to his soul. Over time, their interactions grew more frequent, and a deep connection blossomed between them.
As they spent time together, the priest felt a warmth in his heart that he had never experienced before. His love for new follower was undeniable, and he struggled with the conflict between his sacred vow and the profound affection he felt for them.
Priest lightened up some candles in his church before the next sermon would start. He hadn't even noticed Y/n walked up to him for a hug.
The moment he saw a pair of familiar arms wrapping themselves around him he leaned into the touch.
"Is something the matter?"
"Nope! I just wanted to hold you for a moment, also I'm already done with laying down all the Bible's for the followers."
Such a helpful one.
He knew they just saw him as a friend, a close confidant and nothing more.
Was it wrong for him to crave more... their touch. Like right now.
He knew he was breaking the rules, violating the vow that had been the cornerstone of his life but he couldn't help it.
His fingers found their way onto their skin, slowly rubbing their shoulders as he spoke, his fingertips tracing a pattern along their skin.
"I could just kiss you."
"I don't think Home would be very pleased to hear such things."
Priest frowned, realizing he mixed it his intrusive thoughts with what he actually intended to say.
Yet, he couldn't deny the powerful feelings that had taken hold of his heart.
Over time Priest started to get more openly affectionate with Y/n, unable to hold back the need to be close to them physically.
But he sensed them growing more weary and a uncomfortable, slowly distancing themselves for him.
Which was the least thing he wanted!
So today he would come clean about his feeling for them. They however, listened with a heavy heart but replied gently after his heartfelt confession.
"You have been a source of comfort and support to me in this town, and I cherish your friendship. But my heart sill forever belong to my former partner."
They grabbed his hand giving it a gentle squeeze to show they appreciate me him... just not romantically.
Priest's heart sank as he heard Y/n's words. He had hoped for a different response, one that would validate the emotions he had been wrestling with. Instead, he was faced with rejection.
The lump in his throat grew larger. A strange mix of emotions running through them, from feelings of hurt and betrayal to obsession.
"But you are my destiny...my...my... sin." He said, squeezing their hand back harshly. "My forbidden fruit. My sweet apple~"
"You shall be mine for eternity, my friend.
There is no rebelling...
No running...
No denying...
And certainly no escape."
With every word, every sentence, he hugged them tighter, his nails digging slightly into their skin as he pressed his lips against the top of their head.
"Home will never approve! You out of all people wouldn't upset our god now, would you."
"I already spoke to him, as long as I do remain faithful to him and increase the sacrifices I'm allowed to keep and love you as I please."
Y/n's heart grew cold as they heard his words, realizing the how wrong they had been about Priest.
"Sacrifices..."
"Oh silly me, you didn't need to hear that. Sorry about that my friend, it's not for you to worry about."
He chuckled as he caressed their face lovingly like he wasn't responsible for all the missing cases and the sacrificing the innocent.
