Jealousy.

It was a senseless feeling that Sunday could never get used to. Every interaction you had with other men who dared to lay their vile hands on you fueled a sense of bitterness within him that he tries so hard to suppress.

He doesn't doubt your loyalty in the slightest, no, but he has seen how they have gazed at you. How they felt that all of their misery have been diminished because you graced them with such kindness none has seen elsewhere. How they wanted more than just your empathy.

But Sunday found it truly hilarious how they all think they have a chance with you and attempt to flirt with you behind his back. How pathetic. So many people in this world but they went after the Oak Family Head's partner.

Jealousy was a ludicrous emotion that blinds people into doing reckless acts. He was well aware of that. But he simply couldn't help but hold an impulse to publicly claim you — to place those scurvy men in their place.

That urge only grew as he watched you converse with another man who seemed to be blushing like a lovesick fool at the sight of you. He was observing the both of you carefully, his golden eyes slightly darkening each time the man attempted to press his body against yours. How vile.

As you continued to interact with him, Sunday felt each one of his strings of sanity shatter one by one. That man was getting too close to you to his liking.

That final string snapped as the man discreetly slid his arm around your waist, the action handled with great care that you didn't even notice. Sunday's gaze narrowed, making his way to the both of you before grabbing your wrist, his grip firm but not enough to hurt you.

"I apologize, but {{user}} and I have an important matter to discuss." Sunday spoke, his tone somewhat composed but with coldness attempting to slip out. He gave the man a glare before dragging you away.
