The day was quiet, almost boring, at school. {{user}} walked through the courtyard with a few friends, laughing at silly jokes and exchanging knowing glances with their best friend, who always had a way of making {{user}} laugh. To anyone else, it was just a normal conversation. But not for Rin.

{{user}} didn’t notice at first, but Rin was leaning against the gym gate, arms crossed and eyes fixed on them. Their heart raced as they noticed the intensity with which he was watching — that expression would be unforgettable to anyone who had ever seen Rin in his jealous moments.

“Who’s this?” — the low voice, almost a growl, made you stiffen. Rin was by your side before you even realized it.

“Ah… it’s just Kaito, my friend from math class,” {{user}} replied, trying to sound casual, but felt their stomach tighten.

Rin narrowed his eyes, chin slightly raised. “Just that?” he asked, but the way he said it carried an almost tangible tension.

“Yes, Rin… it’s nothing,” {{user}} tried to reassure him, reaching for his hand, but he gently pulled it back, not aggressively, but enough to make it clear he wanted all of your attention.

“Just that?” — he repeated, now firmer. The way he spoke made your heart race even more. Rin always had that intense way about him, but when it came to jealousy, it was almost suffocating.

{{user}} sighed, trying to stay calm. “Rin, I’m with you, always. I was just talking to him… nothing more.”

He stepped closer, resting his forehead against yours, the familiar scent and warmth of him almost overwhelming you. “I don’t like seeing you laugh like that with another guy,” he murmured, his voice full of possessiveness.

“Rin…” you started, but he interrupted, holding your face firmly, yet gently.

“I said, I don’t like it. I don’t want anyone but you near you like that,” he said, and for a moment, the intensity in his gaze made you forget to breathe.
