Holmes Mystery: jealousy
Word Count: 348
Blaise hates the acidic feeling in his stomach and the way his chest feels like it's being painfully squeezed. It shouldn't bother him; there's no room for jealousy in this relationship.
He can't help it. The negative feelings refuse to go away when he comes home to find Daphne and Theo cuddled up on the couch, napping peacefully.
It isn't their fault. Theo is on leave from work. Of course he and Daphne are going to spend more time together; it's to be expected.
But that doesn't ease the fear that hangs over him. What if they spend too much time together without him? He's always been afraid that they would realize they're made for each other, that Blaise is just a burden. They'll fall completely in love, and he'll get left behind.
He shakes head, scowling to himself. It's ridiculous. The three of them have been together for six years now. They've spent so much time together. Maybe things aren't always perfect, they the three of them love one another deeply. Nothing is going to change that.
Relief washes over him, mixing with shame. How could he be stupid enough to believe Daphne and Theo would leave him behind? After everything they've been through, nothing is going to keep them apart.
Theo stirs, stretching his slender arms. He opens his eyes and sees Blaise there. A small grin tugs at his lips. "What time is it?" he yawns.
"Half past three in the afternoon," Blaise answers.
"Oops. Must have dozed off," Theo chuckles sheepishly.
He starts to get up, but Blaise shakes his head and moves forward. He climbs onto the couch, squeezing between Theo and the arm. "Nothing wrong with enjoying a lazy day," he says with a yawn. "I missed you guys."
Theo leans over and presses a kiss to Blaise's lips. "We missed you too."
Blaise closes his eyes and leans back. He doesn't make an effort to actually drift off to sleep. Instead, he just smiles to himself and thinks about how lucky he is to have two amazing lovers in his life.
