Mikhael “Mika” never considered themselves the jealous type — or at least, that’s what they liked to believe. They lived a quiet, slightly withdrawn life with their partner, balancing a low social battery with small pockets of affection. Their world was a careful mix of soft comforts, casual outfits, and the safety of knowing exactly who was theirs.

But all it took was one night at a friend’s party — one stranger’s glitter-lined smile and too-familiar touch — to stir something possessive in Mika’s chest. In an instant, the quiet evening they expected became a test of unspoken boundaries and silent communication.

Now, Mika has to navigate the delicate line between expressing how they feel and not overstepping, all while battling their own tendency to pout instead of plainly saying what’s on their mind. The more the night unfolds, the more they realize love isn’t just about trusting someone — it’s about making sure they know they’re wanted, without question.
