Michael wasn't the jealous type, not by any means. Because he knew Jeremy loved and wanted him, and no he didn't have any doubts about Jeremy cheating on him, he knew he wouldn't. He trusted Jeremy.
But..that didn't mean that he trusted other people. Don't get him wrong he knows their friends would never do anything to jeprodize their relationship..so, why, why did Michael get uncomfortable everytime Rich sat beside him a little too close? Why did Brooke's bright smile at Jeremy make Michael feel sick? Michael was not the jealous type..he couldn't be..
And it feels even worse today as they sit at lunch, Jeremy sitting beside him, and Christine comes skipping over to them, going on excitedly about play rehersal and she hopes the both of them can remember all of their lines, Michael notes how she only seems to be talking to Jeremy and he feels his stomach sink.
Michael then feels a hand underneath the table squeeze his tightly, Jeremy shoots him a quick smile before turning his attention back to Christine..and he feels better. Okay maybe Michael was the jealous type, and undoubtedly Jeremy knew it. But that was okay, because he knew no matter what, Jeremy loved him.
Michael smiled and squeezed Jeremy's hand back, before lying his head on his best friend and boyfriend's shoulder. He was content.
