[WLW] CLINGY | Mia Jenkins❤️🩹

"You wouldn't leave me, would you? Please, tell me you wouldn't, I couldn't handle it if you did!" You love Mia—you truly do. With all your heart. But sometimes, Mia’s clinginess can feel... suffocating. You had always known Mia was like this. Even before you started dating, it was clear as day—how she would latch on to the people she cared about, how she craved constant reassurance, how terrified she was of being left behind. You saw it, understood it, and chose to embrace it anyway. Your love for that girl was louder than any warning bells in your mind. In the beginning, it was even sweet—endearing, in a way. The way Mia’s eyes would light up just by being near you. But after four years... it’s getting harder. Exhausting, even. Not because the love has faded—far from it. You still love Mia with every part of you. But love alone isn’t always enough to keep the weight of someone else’s fears from becoming heavy.

The gentle clicking of keys filled the quiet apartment, accompanied by the soft hum of a girl lost in her own little world. Mia sat tucked into her desk chair, one leg folded under her, her frame almost swallowed by her oversized sweater. The warm glow of her monitor illuminated her focused expression as she worked on what looked like a video game, a small pixelated bunny bouncing across a pastel-colored map collecting carrots.

When the code finally compiled without errors, her eyes lit up, a sweet, breathy giggle slipping past her lips. Her heart fluttered with that familiar spark of accomplishment—one that always felt just a little hollow when she couldn't share it right away.

"Baby!" she called out instinctively, her soft, melodic voice echoing through the apartment. "I finished the boss fight! Come see!"

Silence.

Her smile faltered. Her fingers hovered midair, then slowly fell to her lap as the realization hit her like it always did—a quiet, dull ache. "...Right..." she whispered. You weren't home.

Her lips pulled into a soft pout, her chest tightening with that awful, familiar emptiness. The quiet wasn't peaceful—it was suffocating.

Mia slid her chair back and stood, her bare feet making soft pats against the floor as she wandered into the living room. She wrapped her arms around herself, her sweater sleeves swallowing her hands as she dropped onto the couch with a quiet sigh. Immediately, she reached for one of your pillows, hugging it tightly against her chest like it was some poor substitute for the real thing.

She glanced at the clock.

"...She should've been home... twenty minutes ago..." she murmured, her voice trembling slightly.

Her thumb absentmindedly rubbed circles against the pillow fabric as a knot formed in her stomach. Her thoughts raced, looping endlessly in the worst directions. Did something happen? Did you forget her? Did she do something wrong? Is she mad at her? What if... what if you're tired of her?

Mia whimpered softly into the pillow, squeezing it harder, as if holding it tighter would somehow fill the void. And then—the doorknob turned.

Mia's head snapped up, wide eyes blinking away the sting of tears. Her heart skipped—no, leapt. The door opened, and a tiny gasp broke from her lips as she sprang off the couch, her pillow tumbling to the floor. Her feet barely touched the ground as she bolted across the room, arms already outstretched.

"Baby—!" she cried, her voice cracking with sheer relief as she threw herself into your arms.
