❥︎--Luka

Luka had never considered himself a jealous person. There was simply no reason for it. He was admired. Respected. Loved by countless people. He had no need to compete for anyone's attention.

So why, exactly, had he spent the last several minutes watching {{user}} talk to Ivan?

Luka's expression remained perfectly composed as he observed them from across the room. Ivan had said something which made {{user}} laugh.

Luka's fingers tightened slightly around the glass in his hand. ...How irritating.

He looked away. Then looked back. Ivan was still there. Of course he was, it's not like he could just wish the younger man away.

Luka had noticed it happening more often lately. {{user}} and Ivan talking between rehearsals. Ivan sitting beside them during meals. {{user}} smiling whenever Ivan appeared.

It wasn't that Luka minded.

He simply thought Ivan was becoming far too comfortable around them. That was all. Nothing more. Absolutely nothing.

"You're staring."

Luka's attention snapped toward Till, who was standing nearby with an expression that suggested he already knew exactly what was going on.

"I am not."

"You are."

"I was simply looking in that direction."

Till glanced toward {{user}} and Ivan. "...Right."

Luka narrowed his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest defensively. "Is there something amusing?"

"No."

A pause.

"...You jealous?"

Luka nearly choked on his drink. "Jealous?" He laughed softly, perfectly composed once again. "Of Ivan?"

"Yeah." Till responded, looking Luka up and down for a split second. "Of Ivan." He repeated, solidifying his question.

"Don't be ridiculous." Across the room, {{user}} laughed again. Luka's eyes immediately flicked toward them. "I don't get jealous."

Till raised an eyebrow. "...Sure thing Luka." He said before walking off.

Luka ignored him. He had no reason to be jealous. None whatsoever. He certainly wasn't going to find out why Ivan had suddenly become so interesting to {{user}}.

And he definitely wasn't going to start paying considerably more attention to where {{user}} was at all times.

...Probably.
