Man is jealous of himself, so you can only imagine how he is when he finally meets your infamous ex at a work mixer
Xavier shakes hands and greets everyone except your ex, who he won’t even look at
He is grabby with you for the rest of the night. Hand in yours, on your back, on your shoulder. He won’t let you out of his sight for even a second
You: “Xav, it’s okay. We broke up a long time ago and -”
Your ex makes the mistake of jumping into the conversation right then. “Could only get someone who’s already trapped with you at work all day, huh?”
Xavier looks calm, but you can see rage flashing in his eyes
He takes a step toward your ex and quietly and calmly says, “Anyone who lost such a prize must be an idiot, and I don’t fight unfair matches.”
Before your ex can say anything else, Xavier is already leading you out of the party, hand on the back of your neck so that everyone, including your ex, can see that you’re his
“Let’s go home so I can show you just how lucky I am to have you.”
You’re at a cafe before work, one of the rare times you and Zayne have matching shifts
While waiting for your coffee to be called, you hear the barista say a familiar name
You and Zayne both whip your heads to look at the pickup counter, and your heart sinks when you see your ex
Zayne knows some details about your ex since you grew up together, but it is enough that he instantly turns on his protective side
The barista calls your name and Zayne’s next, and Zayne squeezes your hand before getting up to get the drinks
Right as your ex is reaching for the drink, Zayne slides in front and picks up the drinks you ordered with ease, cutting your ex off
The coldest delivery of, “It’s polite to say sorry, but I’m really not.”
Your ex starts to get upset but Zayne has already turned his back with your drink
He calls over his shoulder, “The life of a surgeon is busy. If you wanted to go first you should’ve gotten a better job.”
Zayne hands you your coffee with an easy smile and a kiss, making sure your ex is watching the entire exchange
You and Raf are touring a museum to see the spot where his newest painting will be installed later that month
When you hear a familiar voice at the end of the hall, you freeze
Rafayel: “What’s wrong, cutie?” You: “That voice sounded just like my ex. You know that ex.”
Rafayel merely nods, and then drapes an arm over your shoulder as you keep walking forward, pulling you as close to his body as he can
Rounding the corner, your ex spots you and sneers, “Surprised to see you finally got back out there.”
Rafayel turns to you and says, “Aw cutie, I didn’t know you used to do charity work.”
You don’t know whose jaw drops to the floor faster, you or your ex
Raf looks at your ex and then continues nonchalantly, “I’m putting up a new art piece this month. You should really check out the red paint, I think it’ll match your vibe.”
He presses a kiss to your cheek and then the two of you leave the museum, Raf never letting you out from under his arm
You: “You’re not really going to use that paint in the museum, right?” Raf, coldly: “No, but I might make a custom piece if that asshole ever thinks of talking to you again.”
When Sylus gets back to the base one night, he can’t find you in any of your usual spots
Rationally he knows that Mephisto would have told him if you were in any sort of danger, but emotionally Sylus can feel his heart rate starting to speed up
He finally finds you on the terrace, having a rather heated conversation on the phone
He knows you’re completely capable of fighting your own battles, but as soon as he hears that name - the one you told him about, who hurt you - all bets are off
Casually strides over to you and plucks the phone out of your hand with a, “Let me handle this, sweetie.”
His hand is tracing protective circles on your back when he says, “How did you get this number?” Your ex on the other line instantly gets defensive.
“I’m going to stop you right there. Nobody talks to me like that and gets away unscathed, but nobody talks to her like that and lives. If you value that pathetic little life of yours, I’d leave town for a while.”
He hangs up the phone and then blocks the number before handing it back to you
Sylus: “I don’t think your ex will be bothering you anytime soon.” You: “Yeah because you threatened them?” Sylus: “It was more of a promise, kitten.”
He spends the rest of the night being extra romantic. Stealing long kisses whenever you walk by, taking you to his vinyl room to slow dance, and making sure you know just how much you are worth loving
You’ve been acting weird all night, even though Caleb took you to your favorite restaurant
Caleb: “You’ve barely touched your food. Are you feeling alright?” You: “Yeah everything is fine. I’m just tired.”
As if you could ever actually lie to Caleb, but he doesn’t press the issue further
On the way out of the restaurant, you pass by a table close to the door, where you’re greeted with a, “Is that Y/N?”
As soon as Caleb sees your ex, he is like a different person. He’s squaring his shoulders, his hand is protectively gripping yours, and his eyes are absolutely determined
Of course he knows all about your ex, being on the receiving end of all of the nights you spent crying over this horrible person, but meeting face to face is a different story
Caleb puts on a fake smile and then bends down by the table so as not to cause a scene
“If you even so much as look at her again, I promise it will be the last thing you do. Understand?”
When Caleb stands up, your ex sees just how much he towers over them, and they shrink back in their seat
He then makes a dramatic display of kissing you right in front of them before you leave the restaurant
“Want to go get ice cream to make up for all of that, or should we skip right to the dessert at home?”
