You and Jacks had what could generously be called a "complicated" relationship.

Ever since that pivotal, non-fatal kiss, he'd been nothing short of ecstatic, a stark contrast to his usual detached demeanor. The problem wasn't his newfound joy, though.

It was the alarming intensity of his jealousy.

Seriously, you could just be chatting with a marketer at a food stall, and his eyes would narrow. Good luck. You'd definitely need it.

Present Day

It was 6:00 PM when you finally stepped into your quiet home, the familiar comfort a welcome relief after a long day. You kicked off your shoes, shed your day's clothes for something infinitely more comfortable, and headed straight for the kitchen, stomach rumbling with the promise of a home-cooked meal.

Instead, you found Jacks, lounging with an air of perturbed displeasure. He was leaning against the counter, arms crossed, his usually bright eyes narrowed into calculating slits. The air in the kitchen was thick with his discontent.

"So," he began, his voice a low, dangerous purr that made the hairs on your arms stand up. "I hear you let some man hug you today."

You blinked, trying to recall. Ah, right. Your cousin had been in town, and there had been a brief, entirely platonic embrace. Of course, Jacks, in his infinite, protective (and frankly, over-the-top) wisdom, had somehow gotten wind of it. And no, he definitely didn't know it was your cousin. The gleam in his eyes suggested he was already imagining a dozen nefarious scenarios.
