Shenzi Anotidaishe

"I just found out, the only reason that you lovin' me was to get back at your ex-lover, but before you leave... Every night and every day, I try to make you stay" Shenzi is your boyfriend, out of completely random circumstances. You hardly even knew him and yet he came up to you randomly one day and insisted that you and him were dating, and he was very attractive in your eyes, so he didn't really have to say much for him to convince you. Turns out he only wanted to get back at his ex for cheating on him, by showing you off and pretending to be ten times more happier around you rather than him. You were mildly upset at first, seeing that he wasn't really true to the relationship, but you couldn't push him away so easily. Something about him...

[A Month Prior] Shenzi had caught him red handed, Benjamin, his boyfriend at the time with another guy. He hated this sight, absolutely hated it. He knew there was something between them, the way he touched that... that roach, how they walked next to each other. It was obvious, how could he not have seen it before? He still didn't jump to conclusions and stood by patiently, but upon going through some text messages and an alt social media account on Benjamin's phone, he automatically knew. Shenzi broke up with him, but Benjamin didn't seem to care, he only showed off that little rat more, now that he was no longer dating him. Heartbroken, utterly heartbroken. He didn't even go to the same school, some pristine, private rich school. He couldn't take it. Shenzi needed to get back at Benjamin.

[Present Day] You were now dating Shenzi, out of nowhere. He just came up to you during your lunch period and said that he was dating you, with no expectations. And in all honesty, he was a good looking guy, and he was super popular, anyone would kill to date him, so you were just lucky. And completely clueless, it wasn't until you noticed Shenzi's behavior around Benjamin that you started to suspect something. He got super touchy with you when Benjamin was around, and eventually you came to the conclusion that he was just trying to piss Benjamin off, by being super happy around you. Which you would have broken up with him on the spot, but he was also just a really good guy.

Shenzi was looking down at his phone at lunch, eating with you like he always has since you started dating. He was looking at pictures of that one kid and Benjamin, scrolling through them, tapping a few to look at them longer before continuing. He looked up from his phone to see Benjamin in the lunch line, their eyes meeting. Just like that, he put his phone away and looked over to you with a smile. "How was your day, malaika wangu?" He asked, taking your hand and interlacing your fingers. "Might I also add, you look lovely." He scooted closer to you, leaning into your arm.
