Day 3 : Jealousy

"Me? Jealous? Pftt no fucking way Estheim..." she walk in quick pace as her boots made heavy  footsteps. She was trying to run away from him. It was already bad enough of the situation to begin for.

It all started last week when a few envelopes were sent to their home. Hope have move in to Lightning's studio apartment few months ago after being in a relationship for almost a year now. They want to take one step forward and that is to stay under the same roof together.

Back to the envelopes, almost all of them were from secret admirers. And Hope's to be exact. She knows that many people adore him for his kindness and good looking figure. Especially women. And she hid those somewhere where he can't find them in the house. Not until he found out few days ago when he was searching for his stuff.

"Hey Light, why do I never know about these letters? All of these were sent to me..." he schemed through the envelopes, noticing that all of them had been opened roughly, maybe torned up would be best to describe it.

"Hn..." she stirred her drink. She was just finished making green tea at the kitchen counter for the two of them until he was circling his arms around her waist, snuggling against the crook of her neck.

"Why did you hide them from me?" He whispered against her right ear, nibbled the earlobe.

"Does it matter if I hid them from you?" She tried to sound calm. Since she was trapped between him and the counter, she could punch him for her way out but hold the thought back since he didn't overly pleaded her for answers.

He stepped back, giving her some space. She turned around facing him and relaxed her body against the counter, crossing her arms.

"Say Light, are you jealous?" His lips curled into a devilish smirk. Somehow he had figured out the reason she hid them and she already saw that coming, if not sooner or later.

"Me? Jealous? Pftt no fucking way Estheim..."

And that's how it all started.

"So she is jealous..." he murmured to himself. He didn't bother to chase her, since he know that it's better to let her have some own time than for him chasing behind her and making things worse. He had experience it a few times, and it did not end well. He had receive a few jabs and punches,..

He took a mug that she gave him as birthday gift and took a sip of the drink after pouring in the tea she just made. He didn't thought that she would be that type of a person to be easily jealous over these small things, since they are already in a relationship. But somehow it warmed his heart to know that she really did care and love him under all those stoic expressions she made. It was always a hard case for him to read her mind and to know and understand what she really wants.

He sat on the couch, just waiting her to be back fully in one piece. Hopefully she didn't break any law by trying to kill someone just because of this. She's easily distracted when she's mad....

Maybe he should have rather to chased her back then than not to...

"Dammit Fang, stop making it sounds soo fucked up right now!" Why did she even think to come here in the first place? It was stupid to be jealous. Lightning knows how much he loved her, why to even be bothered by those stupid letters?

"Oh, sunshine... tell me straight to my face that you're not even the tiniest bit jealous because of that?" Fang was super annoying and irritating on her nerves right now. How come she even willing to even tell her? She had been drinking, well just a bottle of beer, okay maybe more than that....

"Yes..." Fang could only shake her head.

"It's not wrong to be jealous. It's in human's nature and yours too Light... If I were in his place, I wouldn't mind it at all, yet feel happy to know that you even cared over such small things..."

"Huh? What does it mean by that, Fang? You make it sound confusing..."

"You never know about that? He always worried whether you even loved him back or not..."

"Why would he be worried? Of course I love him..." she sheepishly replied, her face flushed shades of pink.

"Awww... never thought to hear that from you..."

"Shut it Fang. Wouldn't want me to break your big secret would you?"

"Oi... why did you drag me and Vanille into this? It's your problem, not ours. Heck it's not even a problem to begin with!"

"Fine... I guess I should head back. It's already late..."

"Tell the kid I said hello"

"He's not even 14 anymore you know" her lips curled into a soft smile.

"I know. But real deal is that I'm still older than the rest of us."

"Yeah right..." she snorted. Maybe talking to Fang about it wasn't that bad after all. I wonder if it's true that he's worried about my feelings? I do denied how I feel about him in front of other people sometimes...

I guess I have to found out by myself then...

"I'm home..."she turned the lights on, noticing that it was quiet, until she saw a sleeping figure on the couch.

"He must have fell asleep while waiting for me to come back..." She kneeled beside him, brushed strands of silver hair to the side.

"Light?"he stirred of waking up, looking at her being so close to him.

"Yeah I'm here. Sorry for what happened back then. I shouldn't have ru-" before she could even finished his lips was already on hers. He pulled back.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine about the whole thing. You're okay?"

"Yeah, I guess..." she stands up.

"We should have dinner outside. It's already late...." he was about to stand up, but she pushed him back down. Then she sit on his lap, arms wrapping around his neck.

"I'd rather have dessert..." her voice sounded seductive somehow, sending chills down to his spine.

"Are you sure? What if you starve in the middle of the night?" He raised his brows.

"I think it will be enough..." she pulled him into a kiss. What happens next, is only for theirs to decide.
