bakerstreet | I still get jealous.

t e r r i t o r i a l

you're with this person, as in with-with, or you're harboring a serious crush. very few would blame you, then, if you wanted them to be more "yours" than anyone else's, and, again, few would blame you for getting a bit miffed if somebody else was trying to win them over or steal their attention and affection. a little annoyance at all that is normal, right? In fact, you may get jealous...or territorial.

prompts.
typical | you're the jealous type, so you this isn't new for you.
instinct | creatures that aren't human can often feel natural drives to be protective of their territory.
unusual | this is against your character, but you can't help feeling threatened.
sexual | bite marks and blowing minds is the best way to remind somebody that you're theirs and they're yours.
unawares | they don't know somebody's flirting with them. how can that make you feel threatened?
unexplainable | why are you jealous? why do you care somebody's making goo goo eyes towards them? you don't like them or anything...geez.
purposeful | oh, they realize how they're bringing wandering eyes towards them, and despite your chagrin, they encourage it.
feeling like a fool | you feel guilty as hell for being jealous. that doesn't stop it, though.
innocent | your desire to hoard all of their attention is sweet and innocent - or completely childlike.
angsty | why wouldn't they be interested in someone else? it's a fluke they agreed to go out with you, anyway.
hopeful | okay, so, you're not really together with them, but you want to be, so you've got to stake your claim!
cute | they find your dedication and effort endearing.
alluring | a decent amount of possessiveness can be dangerously attractive or sexy to some.
malicious | your attitude goes beyond normal, acceptable jealousy. you're out of line.

[It should've been a completely normal day, all things considered. Bonnie had dragged Dhaos out for a "proper high tea," and while they were eating - who should Bonnie run into but her local vampire?

So of course she would introduce him to Dhaos, and of course the vampire would lean on Bonnie and let her inhale that musky cologne. To anyone else, his actions were obvious. To Bonnie, well, he was annoying. It takes her a good five minutes to shoo him, and even then, she's sighing miserably at Dhaos once she grabs her mug.]

Sorry about that. Sometimes, he doesn't know when to take a hint.

[ Whenever that vampire is hanging all over her, his eyes are dark, and he made sure to send an unappreciated glare his way. Luckily, she's shooed him off, for now, but it makes an ugly feeling bubble up in his chest, or maybe that feeling had been already present when the other had gotten into her business.

He hasn't touched even a sip of his tea.

However, Dhaos attempts to choose his words carefully, as she didn't seem to...notice why exactly he was all over her. ]

... Perhaps next time he shall, and if need-be learn when to acknowledge someone's disinterest. It seems he has made a habit out of this nonsense enough, however. If he comes along again, I will not hesitate to at least say something.

[She raises an eyebrow at Dhaos. Sure, the guy was annoying, and he didn't know the meaning of personal space - but that merited Dhaos's anger?] Just don't uh, vaporize him or anything. He may be annoying, but he can be pretty useful.

[Saying this more for the guy's benefit than hers; after all, she knows exactly what a Dhaos on the warpath looks like, and it may happen sooner than later. So she picks up a macaron and holds it out to him.]

Buuut in the meantime, we're at high tea, and you can't have a proper high tea without snacks.

[ He just wears a tiny frown at that. For some reason her saying 'he can be pretty useful' does not help matters. ]

You had seemed bothered by his actions, and he simply seemed to want something from you... that you are clearly not going to give. That is all.

[ No that is not all. ]

... No I suppose not.

[ He leans forward to take the macaron carefully, as if receiving a great treasure, and examining the food, trying not to at least look like he's still irate over the guy. ]

[Even if he wasn't outwardly mad, Bonnie could tell. Her Dhaosdar was top-notch: had to be, considering how long she hung out around him.]

Oh... Oh. [She scrunches up her whole face at him.] Gross!

I like Day well enough, but not like that, and he's kind of like that with everyone. Even you, the first time you met him, until he realized you were a dude, and then it just... [shrug] Point is, I'm pretty sure "sex god" is his default.

It's a weird day when he's not all in your face. [She takes a macaron and angrily munches on it. Her, dating someone other than Dhaos. What a weird thought.]

[ Dhaos remembers that awkward bit of moment when he did first meet that male. He has been mistaken for being other than a male at times, considering his 'pretty' appearance, but, at the time, Dhaos supposed he hadn't thought too much on it.

Only when he noticed that the male had been increasingly in Bonnie's personal space did he begin to feel...bothered. He munches on the macaron, deliberately and slowly. ]

He needs to tone down his 'sex god' image. He cannot expect to continuously act like he can be in everyone's personal space, and nothing will come of it.

......I suppose I am still unaccustomed to that sort of attitude.

You should tell him yourself.

[The words leave her mouth before she can think better of it - and then Bonnie grimaces. If she had to bet money on who would win a fight, Day or Dhaos, well. Dhaos would win by a landslide.]

His attitude's not... well, normal or anything, but he usually doesn't mean any harm. You know he flirted with my best friend's mom once? I mean, he's like a hundred and seventy so I guess it makes sense. But I never thought of it like he meant anything.

Then, I shall.

[ He will take Bonnie's suggestion up on it. It is probably the best to hope that there will be no fight, but...

Dhaos is probably judging the guy harder now, now that she's added in that info. ]

I see he also has no class. Yet, used to it as it were. If he does that with so many individuals, I can see why you would presume it was not serious.

Still...

[ Then he just shakes his head, thinking better of it this time. ]

Still?

[She raises an eyebrow] There's only one guy I'd rather be with, and I'm with him right now.

Mm. It was an errant thought, nothing more.

[ His cheeks are glowing from her comment. However, carefully he decides that he wishes to reach out his hand to her own. ]

Or perhaps... I was simply thinking it is a blessing to be allowed for us to be as we are now.

If you say so.

[She'll let him have this one. Bonnie slips her hand in his, taking care to intertwine her fingers with his like it's second nature.]

Exactly. As long as we've got each other around, I couldn't care less about anything else. You know that, right?

I still get jealous.

unawares!
