: Re: How to represent jealousy in a cute way? The main character (which is a girl) of the first romance I'm writing would feel jealous sometimes of her love interest, but I want it to be a cute

"I'm sorry, doing things with friends having an attractiveness rating higher than 50% will incur floral penalties. With Kelly? I'm thinking calla lilies..."
"Higher than 60% Oh dear, now we're taking backrub. And a loong one, my darling!"

While I don't find jealousy cute, the idea of two people coming to an understanding allowing one to "transgress" in this way by paying penalties of flowers or cooking or backrubs, or bubble baths together or whatever, makes sure that the couple has a fun interaction of their own. I can see that as helping to strengthen the relationship and add fun, so that they don't wind up with "fun is for friends, my beloved is just a participant in our daily routines" kinds of effects.
