About...

...the jealousy.

Again.

Yang stared at her screen. Blake is online, yet it happened again. The Faunus girl wouldn't reply to her messages until several minutes later. The blonde huffed, switching between her messaging app back to the game she's currently playing. She couldn't help but sigh, occasionally hoping a notification would appear at the corner of the screen.

It didn't. Her eyes trailed back to the words on the screen, yet her mind wandered elsewhere. Who is Blake talking to?

She had several guesses. As much as she didn't want to, it's an automatic thing in her brain. She trusts Blake. A lot. But there's always that sinking feeling that wrenched her guts. Yang shook it off at first, thinking it's just her body not feeling well. Yet the feeling escalated as often as Blake late replies came.

She meant; come on, who is she kidding? She's Yang friggin' Xiao Long. She's always at the center at people's attention. A popular celebrity—known with extra temper—around her friends. Yang wouldn't pay any attention to people around her. She didn't need to; they shower her with those every single day.

And then she has Blake, whom she cared about, yet shows almost no sign of wanting her. Of all people she's close with, it has to be her own girlfriend. So frustrating.

Whenever Yang saw a message notification from her, she'd immediately reply it. At least, so long as she doesn't have something urgent to do. Was it wrong of her to demand the same thing from Blake? Is she being too demanding?

Yang knew Blake's usual busy time is when she studies—which she does often— and the rest is when she's nose-deep in her books. But then again, she also knew Blake's friends. Well, most of them. Including Sun. Speaking of Sun... she remembered what he said several days ago.

TailFellow1: yang? can i say something?

Asked Sun through the in-game chat. They were playing together as a team on . The question caught her off guard, but Yang fabulously still managed to down another Alpha Beowolf. She stopped her character and replied;

Fireballin17: shoot, m8

TailFellow1: its just, i ve been talking a lot with Blake lately. hope you dont mind cuz ya know... i knew you two have a thing going on, and if im intruding, just tell me to stop

Yang paused on the screen. Re-reading the chat message. It finally ticked in her brain how much Blake had been spending time with Sun lately. It's not like Blake hid anything about it. Most importantly, Yang trusts her. Everyone has their own circle and personal space. Blake has the largest personal space so far. She understood.

So what is this sinking feeling?

TailFellow1: you okay Yang?

The blonde snapped out of her stupor. She hurriedly typed a reply, with a mix of grimace and bitter smile. Thankfully, Sun couldn't see her expressions. As much as she hated putting up a lie, she didn't want to become a barrier between Blake and everyone around her. It's... quite the contrast of what she wants; she only wants Blake for herself.

Getting possesive, huh? Yang chided herself while sending the messages. She inwardly facepalmed. Frustrated by her own feelings.

Fireballin17: yup, no problem. i dont mind at all

Fireballin17: who am i forbid her from talking with her friends? lol

It didn't take long for Sun to reply.

TailFellow1: ah, good to know we're cool then

Fireballin17: mhm

~-x-~

Yang sighed disappointedly, remembering that conversation. She glanced off the computer screen. Lilac eyes stared at the picture frame of her photo with Blake, standing side by side—her big grin contrasting against Blake thin smile. At times like this, she often wonders if she's doing the right thing or not. She trusts Blake, doesn't she? Then, she should've acted it up.

Stop feeling restless, Yang; She told herself. Blake would never do things like those.

Trying the breathing exercise, the blonde massaged her wrist. It didn't work. Blake's face floated around her vision, smiling and laughing with Sun.

Yang shook her head and cursed; Damn it. I'm totally jealous.

~-x-~

A/N: Jealous Yang is jealous—ahem, I mean, scary.

Quite relatable tho. No matter how cool we are, when it comes to jealousy... things can be pretty... heated up—one-sided, sometimes. And by that, I mean I've experienced it, too.
