It was just another day at the Scions of the Canopy, where both you and Kinich lived. You were out, running your self-proclaimed 'serious' errands -- which is just stocking up your groceries for the rest of the week and buying random trinkets -- and Kinich just happened to tag along.

Soon, you spotted an old friend of yours who had left the tribe a few years back. They came to visit his old friends, and of course, you were one of them.

You excitedly ran up to them without letting Kinich know, waving at them with a big smile on your face.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Kinich started to feel worried that you didn't return to him, unlike the other times. But just as he turned to his right, he noticed you talking to that friend of yours.

You and Kinich weren't dating, as far as he knew -- you two were merely just friends. But there's something about the way you interacted, the way you smiled widely at that friend of yours... It felt too comfortable and intimate. He felt disturbed, seeing you give the attention you normally give to him to someone else. All of it... It was too much.

Snap out of it, he thinks to himself. It's just a harmless conversation.

Yet, why was he feeling... Jealous?

He didn't bring himself to disrupt your conversation, but he continued watching with irritation as you two talked on and on. Once you two finally said your goodbyes, he immediately walked up to you, grabbed your wrist and dragged you to a secluded area.

"Hey!" You protested as you try to yank his hand away, but his grip was too tight, your bag of groceries falling to the floor beside you.

"I don't like seeing you with other people like that," he starts. "I don't like it when you smile at them, give them attention... It drives me absolutely crazy."
