In which she's overprotective

Carol has this weird thing where she feels the need to protect me from everything. We've been together for a year now and she's only gotten more and more protective. It's sweet, but sometimes it's just unnecessary.

Like when we were walking in the park, there were these kids playing with a ball and the ball came flying in our direction. Instead of catching the ball and throwing it back in their direction, she shot a photon blast at the ball and her excuse was the she didn't want it to hit me.

Or when we were in the kitchen of the compound, she was holding me from behind and every time a person would walk in the kitchen, she'd threaten to shoot them. Her excuse for that is that she didn't want anyone to disturb my peace.

These kinds of things happened all the time. It was never ending with Carol. I love her, but her protectiveness is just too much.

We were currently lying in bed, Carol holding me from behind as she always does, me playing with her fingers. I figured this was a good time as any to ask her about her guarded demeanor when it comes to me.

"Carol, don't you feel like you're too protective sometimes?" I asked.

"No." She answered simply.

I turned to face her and was about to speak when she kissed my lips, something she did whenever she wanted me to shut up. I narrowed my eyes at her, as a smirk played at her lips.

"I'm serious." I told her.

"I am too," she smiled. "I don't think I'm that protective."

"Care, no one can come within three feet of me without you wanting to blast them into space."

"I don't like people close to you. That's not protective, it just means I'm concerned."

"You're too concerned then."

She frowned, her eyebrows knitting together. I clearly upset her.

"Y/n, everything that I've ever wanted, someone has told me I can't have it. And everything I've ever had, it's been taken away. You're the only thing that I know isn't going anywhere, I know you love me just as much as I love you, but I'm still scared. I'm scared I'm gonna lose you so anything that I feel like is gonna make you unhappy or take you away, I try to keep you away from it. I'm sorry if you feel like I'm too protective, but it's only because I can't bare to see you taken away."

I smiled, everything starting to make more sense. I kissed her once and then twice, trying to let her know that nothing will ever take me away from her.

"So explain you blowing up that kid's ball." I challenged.

"I just wanted to see what would would happen," she laughed. "It was kinda cool, you have to admit."

"Yeah," I rolled my eyes playfully. "It was kinda cool."

"I'll stop being so overprotective if that's what makes you happy."

"Thank you," I said. "You can be a little protective, but not too much."

"Got it, Captain."
