Jake had always been a bit clingy, but lately, it felt like he was all over you. You couldn't pinpoint when this behavior started, but his clinginess had definitely reached an all-time high.

He shadowed your every move, trailing you around the house, joining you on outings, and insisting on staying as close as possible during your Friday movie nights. You weren't sure how much more you could handle.

The moonlight seeped through the half-open blinds, casting a silver glow as your fingers flew across the keyboard, determined to complete a portion of your work project before calling it a night. Jake had presumably gone to bed hours ago, giving you some much-needed space to focus.

Suddenly, a faint rustle emanated from the bedroom, followed by a soft yawn that was all too familiar. Jake's disheveled figure appeared in the doorway, his half-asleep eyes searching for you. Lost in your work, you had barely noticed his presence.
