Itâs Called Payback Sweetheart
Pairing: Lin x Reader
Request: âThank you so much for your stories! I love them so much! Can I request another Lin one? Maybe involving jealousy? It doesnât matter who is jealous. They can both be jealous even. Maybe Lin makes the reader jealous and sheâs hurt, so she purposefully makes him jealous? Thanks!!â - @heatherdawn82

I couldnât believe what I was seeing.
Lin was having a party with the entire Hamilton cast. Lin and I were roommates and best friends so he had invited me too.
Lin and I had been best friends for a while and everyone always said we acted like a married couple. We were super affectionate and always hugging each other. I enjoyed it because I had noticed myself crushing on Lin recently. I thought that maybe Lin had feelings for me too, since we were always so touchy. It felt like our own special thing.
But, right across the room, Lin was sitting on the couch, with a girl named Chelsea sitting in his lap. They were talking and she would obnoxiously laugh at every joke he made. It was like she was bragging to the world about how Lin was flirting with her.
He told me that she was a friend from high school. He said she had moved to Europe and happened to be back in New York for a weekend, so he invited her.
All I knew was that she was a super pretty girl and Lin was being super affectionate toward her. I felt betrayed, I thought that it was our thing. I knew it made me beyond petty, but I just felt so hurt.
I figured that I would try and get him alone, and maybe try to spend some time with him, one on one. I mean, he was my best friend and I liked to hang out with him.
I walked over to them and tried to ignore the anger I felt boiling in the pit of my stomach. âHey Linâ I said, smiling at him. âOh hey Y/N, youâve met Chelsea, right?â He asked me. âOh..uh no I havenâtâ I said. âWell, Y/N this is Chelsea, Chelsea this is Y/N, my roommateâ he said, introducing us.
âYeah, itâs uh...nice to meet youâ she said, looking me up and down. âYeah, you tooâ I said, putting on a fake smile. âSo, Lin. I was wondering if I could talk to you about something real quick?â I said, changing the subject. âOh, Iâm sorry. Iâm just getting caught up with Chelsea. We havenât hung out in years. But Iâll find you later tonight, yeah?â He asked me.
I couldnât believe what I was hearing. âOh yeah...uh okayâ I said, hurt. âByeâ Chelsea said, with a mocking tone.
I walked away and was fighting back tears. First of all, she had been so rude to me and Lin just sat there and watched it happened. He was supposed to be my best friend, and best friends stand up for each other. Also, he had called me his roommate, which I guess is true. But he couldnât of introduced me as his best friend? Roommate just sounded so distant, it didnât imply a connection. However, best friend implied that we had a really strong bond.
I walked into the kitchen, where I knew no one was hanging out. I walked in and leaned against the counter. I felt absolutely pathetic. Here I was, hiding during a party, because a guy was making me jealous. I was better than this. I figured I would take this into my own hands.
I walked out of the kitchen and found Anthony. Lin had introduced us once, and we followed each other on Instagram.
âHey Anthonyâ I said, smiling. âOh whatâs up Y/N? Howâve you been?â He asked me. âWell, Iâve been better. I need your help with something though, can you do me a favor?â I asked him. âOf course, what do you need?â He asked, kindly.
âSo I may be feeling a tad bit jealous and petty. But I canât stand to even look at Lin and that girl heâs with, I need to do something about itâ I told him. âOooo somebodyâs got feelings for Lin. So you want to make him jealous, right?â He asked me, clarifying.
âYeah, do you think you can help me?â I asked him. âOf course, I got youâ he said, smiling.
Anthony grabbed my hand and pulled me over to a couch, that was on the opposite side of where Lin and Chelsea were. We both sat down next to each other, with barely any room between us. Then Anthony put his arm around my shoulder.
âIs he looking yet?â Anthony asked me, since he was turned to face me. âNo, not yetâ I told him. âOkay, guess weâll have to get his attention thenâ Anthony said, mischievously. âWait what are you-â I started to ask, before I got interrupted. Anthonyâs hand went to stomach and tickled me. I squirmed and pushed his hand away. âAnthony, stop itâ I squealed.
âDid that get his attention?â He asked, smirking. âYeah, heâs looking. Nice one Ramosâ I complimented him. âLaugh like I just told you a really funny jokeâ he instructed me. I started to giggle and also started twirling my hair in my fingers.
I glanced over at Lin, and he was staring. Chelsea was talking to him, but he couldnât even focus on her.
âHeâs really watching now, pretend to whisper something in my earâ I told him, smiling. Anthony leaned in close to me and whispered âYou know you owe me for this, right?â. I giggled to myself, which I figured went along with this fake narrative.
âOh hold on, heâs coming over hereâ I whispered to Anthony, while trying to not look up at Lin. âSo I walked right up to him and I told him that now he knew not to mess with me or my friends againâ Anthony said, completely rambling and pretending like he had been telling me a story.
âSo I see youâve met Anthonyâ Lin said, and he looked furious. âYeah, you introduced us. You didnât tell me how funny he was though. Heâs absolutely hilariousâ I said, laying my hand on Anthonyâs chest and slightly leaning in toward him.
âOh really?â Lin said, while gritting his teeth. âHave you ever noticed how pretty she is, Lin?â Anthony asked, brushing a piece of my hair behind my ear. âOh stopâ I said, smirking to myself.
âY/N, I need to talk to youâ Lin said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me into the kitchen. âWhat the hell is the matter with you?â Lin asked me, slightly raising his voice. âWhat are you talking about? Youâre the one who just dragged me in here, out of nowhereâ I argued back.
âIâm talking about you and Anthonyâ Lin said, like it was the most obvious thing ever. âWhat about us?â I asked him, annoyed. âWhy were you flirting with him?â Lin asked me, he sounded really angry.
âIâm sorry, are you my dad? You donât get to tell me who to flirt with. Iâm an adult and I can make my own decisions. Seriously, what is up with you?â I asked him. âI know you, this isnât how you flirt. Iâve seen you flirt and itâs not like this. This is you trying to rub it in my face. Youâre trying to get a reaction out of me, and youâre trying to make me angry. I donât know what the hell I did to deserve it thoughâ Lin said, angrily.
âAre you kidding? You can sit with Little Ms.Perfect in your lap all night and completely ignore your best friend, but Iâm not allowed to flirt with a guy?â I asked him. âSo this is about Chelsea? Youâre jealous, arenât you?â Lin asked.
âThis isnât just about being jealous. This is about you ignoring me so you can hang out with her. This is about her being rude to me and you not even standing up for meâ I corrected him. âI told you that I would talk to you laterâ Lin told me. âLin, youâve been sitting with her for three hours. You havenât talked to a single other person at this partyâ I told him.
âWell sheâs visiting from England and I havenât seen her in agesâ Lin argued. âThat doesnât mean that you can make me feel ignored and unimportantâ I told him. âYou know that wasnât my goalâ he explained.
I couldnât believe that he truly thought he did nothing wrong.
âYou sat there as she looked me up and down and mocked me and you did nothing. You just sat thereâ I said, with hurt in my voice. âY/N, I really didnât notice that she did that. I would never want you to be hurtâ he said, sincerely.
âYou say one thing, but youâre actions say something completely differentâ I said, rolling my eyes.
Then Lin cupped my face suddenly, and leaned in to kiss me. I was shocked, it definitely wasnât what I was expecting in the middle of an argument.
It truly felt like Lin was pouring all of his love into the kiss. I could feel the weight off my shoulders of finally having all my pent up emotions out in the open.
âIâm sorry that I got so upset about Anthony, I just got so jealous seeing you with him. Why would you do that to me? You knew it would make me jealousâ Lin asked me, after we pulled away. âItâs called payback sweetheartâ I said, smirking.
