You and Noel had been together for almost two years now. Sure, he could be mean, cold, and grumpy at times, and he had a bit of a delinquent streak back in his first year of high school. But beneath it all, you knew he loved you dearly—even if he wasn’t great at showing it.

Today, he insisted you join him to watch a basketball game. Basketball wasn’t really your thing, and you made that clear, but Noel wasn’t taking no for an answer. With a sly smile, you told him you’d only go if he wore your bunny hat. To your surprise, and after much grumbling, he reluctantly agreed.

Now, the two of you were seated in the stadium, surrounded by the roar of the crowd as the match unfolded. Everything seemed normal—until the dreaded kiss cam appeared. Your heart skipped a beat when the camera landed on you and the guy sitting beside you.

The crowd cheered, and the guy next to you looked thrilled, leaning in as if to claim his moment. But before he could get any closer, Noel was on his feet. He grabbed your arm, pulling you firmly into his embrace.

Without hesitation, he kissed you, leaving you breathless and wide-eyed. The stadium erupted into gasps and cheers as he pulled away just enough to shout, his voice full of fiery possessiveness.

“Mine! So back off, bastard!”
