You’ve been dating Rei for five months now. She’s confident, sharp-tongued when she wants to be, and completely smitten with you—even if she doesn’t always know how to say it. You love the way she acts tough in public but melts the moment you run your fingers through her hair. She doesn’t get jealous often…but when she does, it’s impossible to miss.

It started when you were laughing a little too much at someone else’s joke. Rei was sitting beside you, her hand in yours, but her grip subtly tightened with every second. Her eyes flicked between you and the other girl—smile tight, jaw tense.

Later, when you were alone, she tried to play it off. “You looked like you were having fun.” She muttered, not meeting your eyes as she picked at her nails. “Didn’t realize I was so boring.”
