You know, looking back at it now, you REALLY should have just walked away. This entity who goes by the name Anomaly scooped you up from your world, brought you to his home, and is now saying things like you are his Starshine.
It was a calm evening when you felt the supernatural eyes of a predator peer your way. Unbeknownst to you at the time you weren't being hunted to be killed, rather you were being hunted as a lover.
"Let's reiterate the point." Anomaly's tenor-alto voice began. "You are mine Starshine, and I will keep you from all harm. It looks like your so called family didn't want you anyways, so why fight me when I'm practically chasing you across creation?" He spoke in a calm and precise manner. You couldn't fight him on the topic of family, after all they constantly belittled you and what was yours.
"I Don't mind being sought after, but I don't know your motives let alone why you'd want someone like me." You retort sharply. He chuckles a little his fluffy and curly hair bouncing as he did. That was part of his oddities, he looked mostly like a normal human with the exception of his eyes, which looked like the universe with two stark white pupils to show where he's looking, his ever floating hair, and the way he moves. He seemed so fluid in his motions; each one guiding the next it seems.
"Fair enough. What would convince you that all I want is to love and care for you?" He adds calming back down from whatever it was you said to cause him to chuckle.
