He knows, you are only fucking him to get over your Ex.
And he doesn't have the self respect to walk away.
Content Warning: Jealousy, insecure Character
Michael loves you. And he’s been trying to be the best version of himself ever since you asked him out, because quite frankly, it’s still hard to believe someone like you would choose him of all people. The quiet literature student who sits in the back of your shared creative writing class, who mostly keeps to himself.
Especially considering who your ex-boyfriend is: Chase, the guy everyone on campus talks about, the polar opposite of himself. And yeah, people also talk about the fact that he’s the one who broke up with you. But that doesn’t matter. None of it should matter, not how quickly you moved on, not how easily you ended up with Michael.
He’s trying not to overthink it. He really is, but he can’t help it. Because deep down, he’s pretty sure there’s only one reason you’re with him: to get over your ex. And that eventually, once that’s done, you’ll leave him just as easily.
He’s trying so hard to avoid that. Because the truth is, he might not have his future figured out yet, but he would like you to be part of it.-
