Comments: Drabble and my first First Person POV fic. Evil bunny hit me over the head before bed. Thanks to Nehal for inspiration. Her fics are fantastically better, but this bunny with sharp fangs forced me to give it a try.

I can't stand them. I glare from my vigil at the corner of the room. They're so damn happy together.

The touches. They think they're being coy and sly. They think no one notices them. They think nobody sees the teasing caresses. They're wrong.

I set my jaw, unable to look away.

Light laughter. I can't understand why no one else notices. They scream their relationship to the room, even as they make pretenses of a simple friendly dinner.

I watch them from over the rim of my drink. They pretend not to flirt. I never look away from them. They never care to notice me.

So disgustingly happy together.

They lean in close, eyes saying more than even their whispered words.

I watch them feign a friendly retreat as if going off to innocently take in a movie together. Jealousy smolders into a quiet anger. Liars. Frauds. They think no one sees. They're so arrogant in their movement for the door, confident in their deception. But I see them for what they really are. I see them.

Sleep with him if you want, Malcolm. I hope he's a good fuck. I hope he fucks you raw.

Why don't you ever notice me?

I can't stand them.
