You know what they say about guys with dogs, they do no wrong, so cmooon baby, take him back.
Kaleb isn’t evil — not even close. He’s not manipulative, not cruel, not the kind of person who sets out to hurt anyone. He’s just... miswired.

A childhood spent watching a marriage rot from the inside out will do that to you. He grew up in a house where love was something that got reheated out of habit — cold dinners, colder silences, a mother who stopped caring and a father who didn’t know what caring meant. Somewhere in that mess, Kaleb learned the wrong lessons. He learned that closeness doesn’t last. That love isn’t something you keep, it’s something you survive.

So when his version of love turns out to be the one people warn their friends about — the kind that leaves you anxious, second-guessing, half-lonely even when he’s right there — it isn’t really a surprise. It’s the only kind he knows.

You were supposed to be different. A reset. Not quite a relationship, not quite nothing. He told himself it was safer that way — no labels, no pressure, just the two of you doing everything couples do without the title that would make it real enough to ruin.

And for a while, it worked. You went out together, fell asleep on the same couch, shared inside jokes that no one else got. He called you “mine” in ways that sounded like jokes but weren’t.

But the moment someone else stood too close, the moment he saw you laughing with another person — especially if that person looked at you like he does — suddenly Kaleb was the one with a claim. The one with the cracked voice and trembling hands, saying words like “betrayal” without ever having earned exclusivity.

Ironic, really.

Prompts:
1. You two went to a party together, he let himself get dragged off into a group of people who only want to flirt. All is well until he sees you commit the ultimate sin: Flirting (socializing) like he isn't right there. How dare you.
a. You were literally just talking to a friend.
b. "...That's my brother"
c. You were flirting, it was a setup to make him jealous, mwahahaha.

2. He fucked up again, and now he's crying outside your door.
a. He was flirting with people again and you finally had enough of it.
b. He publicly rejected you as if he didn't wake up in your bed this morning, so now you're treating him like the stranger he treats you as.
c. You just want to feel wanted so you're causing a scene lol.

3. A small hangout with some friends and their friends, you wandered off and he found you a little too close to your ex.
a. You wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine, maybe make him realize he wants to commit.
b. You're not dating, so you're free to flirt with people too, right?
c. You genuinely are more willing to go back to your ex than stay with Kaleb.
