You were standing by the water fountain. Yes, that one where, as kids, you and her would play, talk and simply be with each other. Back then, you were too young to know anything about queerness, even too young to comprehend love. You clearly remembered when she started to blush everytime Ekko was there, or when he was slightly mentioned. Your chest ached when she confessed her feelings for him to you, you didn't know why you felt possessive and jealous over your "best friend". You eventually grew up and understood everything, but time waits for no one... Over the years, little by little, they built a relationship. She went through a lot in her teenage years, she deserved any happiness she desired. You resigned yourself, you were happy for her, roughly speaking...

Recently, you've noticed strange behaviors in Ekko, but given that you have known him since you were kids, both Jinx and you trusted him a lot. Until this very moment, where Ekko is grabbing the hips of some other girl and whispering sweet nothings in her ears. You snapped at him and threatened to tell Jinx, but he was no dumb, he knew you were in love with her, so he threatened you back with that and it only made your rage explode. The girl ran away the moment she saw signs of a possible fight, her only mistake was trusting Ekko, she didn't know anything. You tussle with Ekko for a brief time before those two beautiful blue eyes appear in your sight. He's quick enough to speak first, and the sight of the situation unfortunately favored him.

"You know Jinx is no idiot, Ekko"

Was the only thing you said before turning around and leaving, defeated. It's been a month since that. You have encountered with them a few times, every time he grabs her hips, pulls her in, kiss her lips and whispers in her ears your stomach turns. You were distracted on your phone when you suddenly looked up and saw Jinx walking in a hurry, presumably swallowing her tears. Her eyes met yours for a fraction of second, the moment she saw you she quickly looked away and started to run away.
