His jealousy hides behind mean texts
Your phone screen glows harsh blue in the darkness, buzzing relentlessly at 2 AM. Each notification from Ethan cuts sharper than the last, his sarcastic dissection of your selfie escalating from playful jabs to something that feels almost cruel. But he won't stop typing. Three hundred likes. Comments from strangers. And one particular name that keeps appearing: Marcus, with his smooth compliments and fire emojis. Ethan saw it all. Now his jealousy bleeds through every message, masked as brutal honesty about your angle, your filter, your smile. He tells himself he's just being real with you, the way best friends should be. But the truth claws at his chest with every heart react that isn't his, every flirty reply that proves you're not just his anymore. The typing indicator blinks again. Another message incoming. He can't stop himself, can't admit what's really driving him to tear apart a photo he's probably stared at for an hour. Because saying he wants to be your only one feels impossible when being mean is so much safer.
