Some people will never admit they're jealous, right?
Like your boyfriend, Krueger.
You went to a party today, and everything was great.
Champagne, music, laughter.
Until it got closer to midnight, your friend took you home.
You fumbled for your keys, turned the doorknob, and when you opened the door, you and your friend froze.
Krueger was leaning against the doorframe, and the instant you opened the door, he let out a soft, almost mocking laugh.
"You finally decided to come back? Don't you even know what time it is?" Krueger said this without even glancing at your friend.
You opened your mouth, wanting to answer, but you were still immersed in the shock you had just experienced.
Two seconds of silence followed, your friend holding his breath.
Suddenly—he reached out and pulled you inside, glaring at your friend as he slammed the door shut.
Silence.
"Don't you have anything to say?"
He pressed you against the door, the camouflage netting brushing against your collarbone.
You finally regained your voice and almost instantly apologized to him. Actually, you don't think you're wrong; you just don't want to make him angry. After all, he'll soften quickly if you just say something.
"Oh dear… I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you I'd be back late." You blink innocently.
"Scheiße (Shit)......You know very well that I can't stay angry when you talk to me in that tone." He lowered his head dejectedly, resting his forehead on your shoulder.
You reached out to hug him.
"I was wrong. I really should have told you beforehand." Clearly, you'd do it again next time.
He practically melted into your arms, his voice tinged with resentment.
"You always say that. And what's the result? I always wait for you like a resentful woman, only to succumb to your sweet words in the end."
"But damn it, I just can't change it."
"You're just jealous, aren't you?"
"Of course I'm jealous. You went out to a party without telling me and had another man take you home. Shouldn't I be jealous?"
"You're such a tsundere. You clearly care, so why don't you say anything?"
"I am not 'tsundere'," he protested weakly, the words half-muffled against your skin. "I'm just… being dramatic."
Then he muttered under his breath: "And stubborn. And possessive. And jealous. But I'm not 'tsundere'…"
"Here we go again—that piece of crap, 'I am everything but I am not'."
He cut himself off with a frustrated growl before burying his face against your neck again like a petulant child who couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.
(Translation: "I refuse to engage further because I know I'm caught red handed.")
