Did someone say overprotective!Eddie?
You work in an office and although your work day is mundane, your coworkers make up for it. They’re all easy to get along with a friendly. Except for one - he’s too friendly.
This extra friendly coworker has taken an interest in you - extra intense eye contact when you talk, gentle, seemingly innocent touches when he passes by you. You like him as a friend, but nothing more than that. Over time, the interest he shows in you continues to grow, much to your chagrin as you are currently in a very happy relationship with your boyfriend Eddie.
One day, Eddie stops in as a surprise at the office. He’ll tell you it’s just because he missed your pretty face. You’re off to the side at the copy machine, just within earshot. Eddie greets the receptionist but doesn’t hear a word she says after he sees you standing there with your “friendly” coworker, who was crowded into your personal space, and you are clearly not enjoying the attention. Eddie’s face goes pale before turning tomato red.
He storms past the receptionist desk, chains jingling and leather creaking, right into the office space without regard for anyone. You whip around as you hear the sound of his boots slamming against the floor. You’ve barely laid your eyes on him before you can register what is happening but it’s too late - Eddie lunges forward and grabs your coworker by the collar of his polo with both hands - rings glinting in the office lighting, lifting the young man up onto his toes.
“EDDIE!!” you scream, terribly embarrassed that he’s causing a scene in front of all your coworkers.
“Who the fuck do you think you are, getting all up in my girl’s space?” Eddie spits, eyes wide and livid at your colleague.
“I- um, I-I was just-uhh…” your coworker is left speechless and clinging to Eddie’s hands to relieve some of the pressure on his neck.
“Yeah, I didn’t think so. I’m going to teach you a fucking lesson,” Eddie states cooly. He drags him out of the office by the collar to the back of the building. You don’t follow, feet glued to the floor in shock. You know what Eddie’s doing and you don’t want to witness it firsthand. The rest of your coworkers are gobsmacked, staring at you and each other with their mouths wide open, attempting to process what just happened.
You know when Eddie’s done he’ll come get you and take you home and remind you who you belong to, as if you needed any reminding 🥰
i shouldn't like this but i do and god i do so so much 🫣 eddie's so unbelievably strong but he never shows it because he knows that people already see him as intimidating so he never needs to actually show his physical strength but once he does... he's ruthless. he puts all his suppressed rage and possessiveness into it. he'd come back to the office with bloody hands and blood dragging with his boots, the whole place is silent, just watching him walk nobody daring to make eye contact with him. he finally gets to you and holds your hand, taking you home and not saying a word the whole ride. you don't show up to work the next day because you can't walk or sit so you stay home while he cooks you breakfast and kisses your face, "goodmorning my baby" he'd be so gentle as if he did nothing the day prior
