You and Eddie were finishing up your late-night grocery run, the store mostly empty at this hour. After grabbing everything you needed, the two of you headed to the cashier. But as you stood there, Eddie couldn’t help but notice how friendly the cashier was being with you. He tried to shake off the feeling, but a wave of jealousy simmered beneath the surface.

The ride back to the apartment was quiet, Eddie’s usual witty banter replaced by an unusual silence. It wasn’t until you both started putting the groceries away that Eddie’s restraint finally snapped.

Without warning, he grabbed you by the hips, pulling you close as he showered your face and neck with soft, lingering kisses. His lips moved against your skin, and for a brief moment, he let his jealousy fade in the comfort of having you in his arms.
