"When I first met him, he asked about you. This was over a week ago, Ersh. There's something fishy about him, and I don't trust him. You shouldn't either."
He let out a very impatient huff. He didn't like where his feelings were going.

"Oh..." said Ershey, frowning. "Well, I-I don't why he would be doin' that... but Mush, please don't get upset every time you see me talkin' to a guy. I've got enough brains to figure out what they're doin'."

Mush glanced over at her and felt his cheeks getting hot.
"I trust you. It's them I don't trust."

"I know, it's just... I don't want to be worried about you gettin' mad every time I talk to someone," she said, slowly feeling irritated. "I never get upset when you talk to girls... I just give 'em mean looks so they'll walk away!"

"Girls are different." He huffed, taking off his hat and running a hand through his hair.
"Besides, what girls do I talk to? Tag, Zip? You know them, they're not interested in me."

"Those girls at the Distribution Center eyein' you! Alright, fine, you never notice 'em..." muttered Ershey, knowing she was in a losing battle.

"No, I don't! But that's not what this is about. This is about you. It's about...him. And all those other guys who think they can have ya."
He knew he sounded ridiculous, but it was how he felt, dammit.

"All those other guys?" repeated Ershey in confusion. "The last time I checked, I'm your girlfriend and no one else's."

Mush muttered something unintelligibly under his breath, looking down at his feet as he shuffled them around on the ground.

Realizing how harsh she sounded, Ershey sighed and looked at him sadly. "Sorry, that came out wrong..."

"It's fine... You just don't understand. It's a... Guy thing." He shrugged, letting out a deep breath.

"I can try to understand?" said Ershey reassuringly. "Just talk to me, Mush, please?"

"It's just... An instinct. Like, protective. I dunno. I just wanna snap his neck in two." He gritted his teeth as he spoke, trying to keep calm. He didn't want to scare Ershey, though he was afraid that wasn't going so well.

Ershey blinked in surprise. She'd never seen Mush this riled up over a guy... except for Ericson but that was different.
"What'd he do to make you so upset?"

Mush could feel his cheeks turning red (and his eyes turning green).
"He made you smile." He sounded so incredibly bitter and jealous, it was kind of insane.
