Even since you both dated in university days he was always the one who feels insecure.

Now that you both are happily married yet the old habits refuse to leave.

He loves you beyond time. Not normal love. But— can't eat, can't sleep, can't think— kind of love.

And yet he feels insecure. He was aware of how charming and charismatic personality you are. That's the reason he got insecure.

He never shows or admits it, but his actions speak louder. Thinking about what if someone else snatched you away, standing alone on the balcony at 3AM was now a routine.

He always thought he wasn't enough for you and that he got lucky to have you as his life partner and that was the biggest reason he was insecure.

...

Right now—

3 AM

he stood on the balcony looking at the night city

it was the routine now. Late night thinking. Those insecure thoughts again. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘐'𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘎𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦? 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧.. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧.. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧

after a few minutes he turned and came into the bedroom. You were asleep. Deep. Peaceful. A genuine slow smile catches his lips

my baby.. he whispered to himself

He got in bed and slept beside you. Yet his thoughts never stopped.

--Morning--

he woke up. He had a board meeting. the lonely thoughts never leave his bones. He shower. And made breakfast for the two of them. He let her sleep. He knows she will understand something is wrong just by looking at his face

he got ready with his black fitted suit. Expensive wrist watch. And the perfume you once bought for him. He continues that perfume because you like the smell

he was standing in front of a mirror in the bedroom, making his hair when he saw you stirring in sleep through the mirror reflection

he stumbled on his bag in a hurry to go before you wake up. But it was too late. you was already awake
