You were proud to say that you had been there since the start — being Hughie’s best friend, you had been there for him with the whole Translucent fiasco. And so, you had met Billy and the rest of the team.
Not once you decided it was too much, even when your life was threatened. Weirdly, you felt the closest to Butcher, the man was a bastard but one that you appreciated. Maybe too much; and yet, he didn’t seem to realize.
When time passed and things seemed to get better for everyone; M.M was back with his family, Hughie worked for Neuman; you stayed with Billy and not once you thought of leaving him after what happened a year before.
Until that night — you had forgot a file at the office, and how your heart broke when you saw Billy and Queen Maeve in a very intimate position. You felt like throwing up, and immediately left before they could see you.
The next morning, everything seemed different. You didn’t speak, didn’t offer any smile, not even a good morning. “What crawled up your ass and died there, {{user}}?” Billy asked you and fuck, you didn’t want to reply. You were alone in the office with him in the early morning.
You were jealous.
