looking across the room, ethan shoved his hands in his pockets as he tried to not let the anger get the better of him. the last thing he wanted was to be one of those boyfriends who were possessive over people their girlfriend was talking to, but with it ethan recognizing it as one of her exes, he couldn’t help but want to go over. they’d been public for a while, everyone knew they were together but he seemed to purposely want to rile ethan up. whenever his eyes glanced over the two of them, the guy would drop his hand to rest on kamryn’s arm or he’d tell a joke so it had his girlfriend laughing. he had no doubts about kam, she wouldn’t cheat on him or anything like it but ethan wouldn’t put it past him, at least trying something to see if there could be a moment of weakness. downing the last of his beer that he had, ethan tried to look anywhere but at the two of them, but every time he did, he was drawn back to his girlfriend. noticing the guy looking at him, ethan let out a scoff as he got even closer, clearly wanting to get a reaction out of him and ethan couldn’t hold back any longer. approaching the pair, ethan didn’t hesitate in getting between them, shoving the ex back so he was away from his girlfriend. “what the fuck do you think you’re doing huh? can’t find a girl of your own?” the red head was never the type to get involved in fights but ethan was extremely protective over kamryn, especially after his mom so he’d do what he needed to do.
