can i please request a fic/drabble with cassian x reader who is super duper hella shy, like she hates going out in public and when she does she stands behind cassian and tries to hide herself🥲🤍🧎♀️
A/n: this is so cute omg! I got two requests for this so I combined them into one ☺️
Cassian would think your shy demeanor is so cute and he’d be so protective of you
When you first met you were terrified of him
He’s just so tall and muscular who wouldn’t be terrified of the Lord of Bloodshed
Cassian had come into the bookstore you work at
You like your job, it’s quite and not super busy
You mostly stock and do the orders and office work since you don’t love talking to the customers since you were terrified of being yelled at or your social anxiety crippling you
The day Cassian came in your boss asked if you’d be ok alone for your shift. You said yes bc you were scared to say no but what was the worst that could happen
Cassian’s over eager personality scared the shit out of you. He creeped up on you by accident making you drop the books you were holding
But as soon as you started talking to him there was something about Cassian that made you feel so comfortable
After that day he kept coming back and took you out to lunch as friends a few time
He courted you for months bc he didn’t want to scare you off by coming on too strong but when Cassian loved he loved with his whole heart
“So, y/n, I was wondering if I could take you out on a real date?” Cassian had never seen you so excited
You had nodded enthusiastically, saying yes louder than normally, and pulled him into your version of a bone crushing hug
The rest was history
Cass got pretty good at reading you
When you discovered the mating bond everything made sense
Why you were ok speaking to him immediately, why Cass was the safest person you’d ever been around, and why he was so good at knowing what you need
When you met the IC you were shaking at the thought of meeting the high lord and lady
And the fact that these males were his brothers! What if none of them liked you or thought you were faking being shy for attention (you got that a few times when you were younger)
But they we’re the complete opposite
They we’re all very warm and welcoming, though Amren still scares you, you can’t make eye contact with her
You do like to go out with Cassian and take walks through the city
If he sees someone he knows Cass will stop and talk to them for what feels like hours
You cling to his arm and continuously inch behind him until his wings are blocking you
Whenever you’re nervous Cass wraps a wing around you and holds your hand
He always sends love and reassurance down the bond to help you calm down
You do like going out to eat with him, you just hate ordering
Cassian will always order for you
He has your coffee shop order memorized and all your favorite meals from the restaurants you go to
He always checks that that’s what you want and you give him a small smile and send a thank you down the bond
Thinking about what it would be like to see color for the first time. I always love stories with those kind of themes, ever since I read The Giver as a kid. The idea of growing up without color but suddenly seeing it for the first time always stuck with me.
