It was funny how both of you agreed that there were words that needed to be said, yet neither of you spoke a single one as the two of you sat in silence on opposite sides of the couch. You knew what you wanted to say— figuring out how to say it was the problem. Maybe Jean was having the same issue, if the way he continually opens his mouth to say something before abruptly shutting it when he realized he didn't exactly want to be the first one to say anything.

This behavior was unusual for Jean— typically he had no problem speaking his mind, often saying things before he properly thought them through. Perhaps that's why he was taking his time, now. This was a conversation that needed processed, coherent thoughts— he couldn't just spout out all his feelings in one jumbled, heated mess.


You watched him carefully, studying his leisurely form as he sat slumped on the couch. His long legs spread open slightly as his back rests against the cushions— strong jaw rested in his hand as he stares off into space. He's so handsome, you think to yourself, knowing that he'd truly have no problem attracting another partner if you were no longer in the picture.

Maybe he deserved that, to find someone better suited for him than you— but the thought of Jean being with someone else has you feeling uneasy. He's been yours for so long, for him to suddenly be someone else's after the fact just seemed...wrong. You weren't this type of person— possessive, wicked?
