Conflict and Adoration

For 's contest, Darker Than Black, Whiter Than White

This is an illustration of the relationship between my two characters, Qasim (upper) and Murmur (lower).
Murmur is a guardian to Qasim, who is meant to protect, support, and guide him, however he has become obsessive. He follows Qasim around, whether he asks for him to or not, and often harasses him in different ways, be it sexually or not.
Qasim is so respectful to Murmur that he often allows the guardian to do as he pleases, no matter how much it may hurt him. However, over time Qasim has become to enjoy Murmur's advances more, almost like stockholm syndrome.
