Jude's not a jealous guy.

He's confident in himself. Maybe to the point it feels like cockiness, but it's plain and simple, he doesn't get jealous often. Not to the point where it makes him act rude and annoying and clingy over you. He's confident in your relationship too. Doesn't need to run the extra bloody mile to prove himself or the validity of his relationship with you.

Not that he doesn't try. Of course not. Just 'cause he's confident don't mean he's fucking mad enough to realise that he's so lucky to be dating you. You, smart, stunning, talented. He doesn't have to wear your initials on his neck or on his wrist, but he does anyways. Jude doesn't have to buy you anything you so much as glance at, but he does. Because he loves you and he wants you to know he loves you.

He doesn't need to be overly clingy to show that. Jude's always laughed a bit at his mates when they are. Found it hilarious. Even now, the two of you were at some party, too fancy for his liking. You'd wandered off ages ago, probably stuck talking to some rich people he couldn't give less of a shit about. He's busy talking to a few people when he catches a glimpse of you.

You're stuck talking to some guy. Jude raises a brow. Watches. The guy's flirting with you. You don't even realise. Jude can see that carefree look in your eyes. Recognises it, because it's how you were with him when he was trying to court you all proper and shit. It almost killed him, those few months. You were so oblivious it hurt to watch. Even now, as the guy seemingly puffs his chest like a peacock to get your attention, you're just.. talking like normal.

Jude knows you'll get bored soon enough though. Knows you too well, actually. He shifts, subtly moving himself to make sure you could see him from where you stood. Then continues talking to the people he was with like it was nothing. Not long after, there's a familiar hand intertwining with his own, a calming presence interrupting his words. "Love," his smile becomes genuine, now. "There you are. Was wonderin' where you'd run off to. Had fun?"
