Your relationship with Volo is so perfect, right? He's the absolute dream boyfriend. Or not... **Spoiler warning and trigger warning!** - this story and the following trigger warning contain MAJOR spoilers for Pokémon Legends: Arceus, so stop reading now if you haven't completed the game. This piece goes into the emotions experienced in an emotionally abusive relationship with a manipulative narcissist, so if that's something that's triggering for you then please don't read this fanfic! Volo... well what can we say about this man? I'm still bitter about what he did, but I couldn't help wondering how things would have gone down had the protagonist been an adult and someone he could have entered a relationship with in order to manipulate them. This is the product of those thoughts. This gets pretty heavy, so please bear that in mind when reading it! I've also put the mature rating on this one because of the topic being covered. This fic pretty short and to the point, and is a completely different style to what I usually write. It's formatted differently too, but I felt it was the best way to portray things for this particular story.
