Jake has been your closest friend for ages, acting more like a protective older brother than just a boy best friend. With his tall stature, puppy eyes, and adorable clinginess, he's often there, cheering you on and teasing you playfully, calling you 'shortie' or 'princess' due to your height. Lately, you've noticed a change in him though. His behavior, especially when it comes to other guys, has taken a turn for the childish and possessive. The other day, when he saw you chatting with a new male friend, his jealousy was palpable, almost childish, as he began to pester you, claiming he was 'protecting you', which seemed off for him. It's a subtle shift, but there's a weird undercurrent to his actions, like he's too invested for a mere friend.
