@bimboiscus. “I was only ever thinking about you, you know.”
jealousy was one of the few emotions connor hadn’t really experienced much of following his deviation. of course, there were always things that he yearned for, but he never had the real possessiveness over what he already had. he’d been going steady with veronica for some time, and they were both always so open and honest with one another, the thought of being worried that she may have eyes for another never crossed his mine until he saw her talking with him again, the way that gavin looked at her, the ease of which he made her smile, laugh.
connor was never someone that gavin saw as a threat, and the android still figures that he doesn’t take their relationship seriously to this day, doesn’t see connor as someone who is in his way. so hearing that veronica only ever wanted him, too, even when she was with gavin.. it should’ve helped, but it didn’t, he still felt the same unease, discomfort with the way that gavin looks at her like she’s a prize he’s still entitled to.
❛ ... it’s alright, you don’t have to say that. ❜ he tries to smile through his words, hoping it would provide as some sort of reassurance. ❛ i know you cared for him. i’m sorry, i know it isn’t like that any longer, but i.. worry. i love you, ronnie. ❜
