Not technically, but once I'm done serving my time, we will be. I call him Master when it feels like I should--whether it's because I'm teasing him, or I'm giving him all of my respect. Most of the time though I just call him Vlad.
It means it reminds me of things in my past I'd rather not think about.
There's someone who taught me that at some point you have to put yourself above others. Maybe they won't want you, but then that means they only look at you like an object, not a person. What about your own happiness? I've had a lot of times in my life where I haven't felt wanted; the person I loved the most didn't want to be with me, a man I fell hard for left me to protect me, and my two Masters before Vlad abandoned me. I know it's hard, but it's not everything. You can find friends, find things you're passionate about, and then if/when that time comes when your master doesn't want you, it won't hurt so much.
You're still so young, too young to be thinking about ways you can throw your life away just so you can please others.
