I've seen you (JadenxReaderxJosh)

Little hint of sour through a sea of sweet

Things were going well. A little too well even. Something was bound to happen, Jaden called it. Something would go wrong somewhere, sometimes.

Like tonight.

"I'll kill him." Jaden mumbles against the skin of her shoulder.

She knows exactly what he's talking about, where he's looking above her shoulder. She doesn't dare turn around, she noticed minutes before, and she can't bear the sight either. "You take him, and I kill her. Deal?"

Her boyfriend laughs against her, wrapping his arms around her waist. It takes all his strength to tear his eyes away from them and pull back enough to look at her. "What do you think he's doing?" She should've known that Jaden would be as jealous with him as he is with her.

"I think he's enjoying someone publicly interested in him." She shrugs as if it doesn't make her blood boil in her veins. She never claimed to be perfect, she got jealous with Jaden too, just not very often. Still, she's never seen Jaden flirt with another girl while they were together. Yeah, she's seen girls get too close, try to get in his pants but Josh's clearly flirting with this girl, letting her get close and touch him as she pleases.

The girl's clearly convinced that she'll end the night in his bed and if they didn't know better they would think so too.

"God. If he wants someone to be interested in him in front of everyone he just has to say so, I'll make out with him right there no problem." She rolls her eyes, letting her fingers run through his hair.

"You know exactly why you can't do that." She's right, he does. He can't do that because Josh doesn't want to. Because Josh's not ready to tell his friends, to tell others that he's in love with two people.

Sometimes he wonders if he's not ready to talk about his polyamory relationship or if he just doesn't want to tell the other Sway boys he's into guys as well. "Yeah, well it's his choice so he shouldn't act like an asshole because of it."

She thinks the same thing though she won't admit it to Jaden. She knows that if she does, things could easily spiral out of control. "I know Jay. Just... Try to understand how hard it must be for him to see us together all the time, happy, while he has to wait hours and sometimes days just to have a kiss or a hug from one of us."

Her words, which are usually easily calming him have no effect on the anger building up in his body as his eyes are back on him. "Yeah, well, like I said. His fucking choice."

She harshly tugs at his hair to pull his face in front of hers. "This isn't fair Jaden. You can't just force him to come out because you're tired of waiting. You've been through this, you know how hard it can be. It's his choice and we're supporting him because we love him. He'll come out when he's ready not when we decide to."

She watches the features in his face relax. He places a kiss under her jaw. "I know, sorry. You know I would never. I understand that better than anyone. I just... It's been hard for us too, having him so close but yet so far and with what he's pulling tonight. It's been a lot this week and this is just the last straw."

She knows it is. She knows that he speaks before thinking when the anger controls his body, that he would never do something like that, even less to the person he loves. "I know." She whispers against his ear. "I want to kill him too, just so you know."

Just because she understands doesn't mean she's ok with it, doesn't mean she's not angry. He chuckles lightly, pressing his lips against the shell of his ear. "If it was you, I'd fuck you so hard baby you wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow."

She shudders at the thought, maybe she should find someone else to go flirt with then. "Don't lie, you dream about doing it to him too."

God. Of course, he does. Not like this though, not on his first time. He's not gonna take his virginity with this anger in his veins, that's not how he planned it and Josh deserves better. She's not wrong though. "I do. One day I will." Though she's not even involved in the project, it makes a shiver run down her spine. "What do we do about him tonight?"
