Every move you make

Love and lust are all very well and good, but this meme is for when that white-hot desire tips into something darker, an all-consuming fire that licks at your every thought, that clenches around your every breath. It may be one-sided or it may be reciprocal, you may be the object or the subject or both simultaneously, but at least one of you is obsessed.
You can think of nothing but them. Your world, your heart, your very existence revolves around them.
Unrequited - Subject
1. Innocent yearning - They are unreachable, untouchable, or perhaps you're merely too shy. You're resigned to the certainty that they will never be yours, but you'd still dedicate your life to make them happy. Little gifts, remembering their birthday, you'll be their best friend, their Cyrano, you'll be their shoulder to cry on or maybe you'll only ever watch them from across the office and make sure that one of the morning donuts always makes it anonymously to their desk before they're all eaten.
2. Win their heart - You're going to marry them. Sure, they don't know it yet. Sure, they don't even know you exist. But you've got a plan, and you're going to use every resource in your power to win their heart. No matter what it takes. Their happiness is all important, and the best way to ensure that is to make sure they know how worthy they are of being loved.
3. Stalker - They belong to you. They may not know it, they may even disagree, but they are yours. It's okay. You're content--at least for now--to watch them from afar. To deliver notes and gifts--threats, if they dare to object to your ideas of romance, if they dare to date anyone else--to oversee their safety and even to mastermind minor adjustments in their life to ensure that everything goes... according to plan.
Unrequited - Object
1. Innocent yearning - You have a secret admirer. Little gifts, love poems and notes, and they're always perfectly sweet, perfectly timed, and they always make your day. You're half in love with them already, whoever they are, this person who cares for your happiness above all else. If only you could figure out who it might be.
2. Win their heart - Out of nowhere, one of your friends--or perhaps an acquaintance you hardly noticed before now--has begun trying to court you. It's flattering, but also very intense. They seem convinced that you'll fold to their affections sooner or later, and... maybe. Why not? It's nice to have someone who thinks you're worth the whole world.
3. Stalker - You're being followed. Maybe you know this person--an ex?--maybe you don't. They know you, though, or they think they do. Worse, they think they have some claim upon you. They dog your steps, bother your friends and romantic partners, leave you haunting and unwelcome gifts.
Requited
A. The sun in my sky - Your everyday existence may be dull and drab, but you have one glittering prize in your life. Your love, your partner, your everything. You can get through the daily grind, through the indignities of your life, because you know you're coming home to them.
B. Forbidden - You're in love and it's requited, but that doesn't make them any more accessible to you. Wealth, class, or perhaps an inconvenient marriage is keeping the two of you apart. You'll have to conduct your affair in secret, with your obsession compelling you to take greater and greater risks, until you find a way to run away together -- or until you're caught.
C. Partners in Crime - What's more romantic than a crime spree? You're partners in crime, and what a thrill that is! It certainly spices up your love life. You trust them entirely, they're the other half of you, and they're every bit as wicked as you. It feels as though you're both untouchable, and surely you are. You'll never be caught. Neither of you will ever be hurt.
D. On the Run - You're young, you're in love, and you're free, but you know it can't last. You're on the run, and your stars are crossed. Sooner or later you're going to come to a bad end, but until then you've got this hotel room, this night, this car and the open road. If anyone wants to separate you, they're going to have to catch you first.
Wildcards
Enchantment - A love spell can serve to create obsession where none existed before, and now you have a devoted slave, as long as the spell doesn't backfire.
An Unholy Bargain - You've sworn yourself to an angel, a devil, a cause, a country, a witch, a place, and they are the embodiment of that vow. You're sworn to them inescapably, and the terms of your bargain press you with the sweetest compulsion. It may not be real, but it's love, and it's undeniable.
Feel free to run with your own interpretations of the theme!

He pulled off David's cracked helmet and licked his lips.
"I finally have you."
Sharkface had nothing to give... except heebie jeebies.

He groaned. "Who... the hell are you?"

Scarecrow | Batman Arkham Knight
Requited, C-ish?!
Where there is light, there must always be a darkness—a Scarecrow who exists on behalf of the King, carrying out experimentation on behalf of the crown (dabbling into forbidden sciences and fouler things). Sion had first heard of the man only after the Crane had been imprisoned, sentenced to hang for attempting to poison the capital city's water with toxins, but rather than see justice carried through to fruition, the King had offered the disgraced doctor an open hand and words of redemption.
A chance to carry out his research on behalf of the Empire, so that all enemies of the King would know the cold grasp of dread and the stifling weight of terror.
And so: Sion ventures to Scarecrow's laboratory in the castle's dungeons, bereft of guards and his chattering retainers who plea, by the day, for their beloved King to rid the country of the madman who boasted potential enough to undo all that Sion himself had built.
But--...
There is only one thing which the King fears, and it certainly is not Scarecrow himself. ]
My armies will soon move to conquer the rest of the Southern continent. [ —Sion's voice is resonant, echoing throughout the chambers, carrying with it notes of intrigue and a distinct measure of ...fondness. For this place, this darkness where he feels most at ease. ] Tell me, what have engineered to assist us with our campaign?
no subject
Even more so when that gift horse came with the freedom to work as he pleased on his experiments. Doing "honest work" with his fear toxin is certainly a new experience.
The Scarecrow looks over his shoulder when the king comes down into his laboratory and asks his questions. How informal of him to do this personally instead of sending a go-between. Lucky for Sion, Scarecrow has no plans to betray him. The king has been good to him.]
I have quiet a few things.
[He holds up a bottle of orange liquid.] Your spies and sneaks may use this to drug food or water, though skin contact may also work. Just tell them not to breath it in or get it on their skin. [He next holds up an arrow with a glass tube in place of an arrowhead.] These may be filled up with toxin as well. I am also working on a way to disperse my toxin over a greater range, so that entire armies may be affected.
