Marcus couldn’t help but smile in response to her words, knowing that she liked the gifts he gave her, made him happy beyond belief. “Crunchies are my favourite.” He chuckled lightly, nodding his head happily. “You- You really don’t need to thank me. I just- I wanted to do something nice for you. Let you know that I- That I care about you..” Marcus mumbled quietly, nervously. It was rare that he was so forward in telling someone how he felt, usually he would just keep things to himself, but the raven haired beauty brought out the honest side, apparently. “I can imagine seeing someone as beautiful as you walk into their comic store had the nerds behind the till quaking.” Marcus chuckled lightly. “We- We don’t usually tend to encounter your kind.” He teased with a slight smile. Watching as she covered her mouth, to stop herself from talking, he couldn’t help but smile again. It reminded him of something he would do when his anxiety got the better of him, so it told him that she was nervous - yet he didn’t understand why. She always seemed so confident. God, the feeling of having her in his arms was incredible. It was rare that she allowed him to touch her, and this was definitely a feeling he would savor for as long as she would allow. 

Cassandra’s smile grew wider as her eyes twinkled excited with the male’s answer. “They are? Fancy that.” She replied enjoying the coincidence. The witch smiled dropping his hand. Chewing down on her lip she found herself wondering what the male meant by his words. She couldn’t help but hope that he meant he cared for her more than one might care for a friend. “That’s sweet. I really care about you too Marcus.” Her voice sounded confident, and for that she was grateful. She bit down on her lip trying to contain her smile as the male called her beautiful. It wasn’t as if she hadn’t been called beautiful before, in fact, people were always telling her how gorgeous she was but somehow it meant more coming from Marcus. She found herself laughing at his words. “I don’t see why I mean, they all seemed sweet and if they’re anything like you my ‘kind’ would be lucky to encounter them,” Cassandra told him tilting her head as she held his gaze with a smile.

Marcus couldn’t quite believe the gift that had arrived on his doorstep. He didn’t know who it could have possibly been from. Maybe Violet? Or perhaps Andrew.. The two siblings knew how much he adored comics. And perhaps they felt sorry for him? Wanted to make him feel wanted? Marcus didn’t know. Though there was one person he truly hoped they were from. Cassandra. But he knew that his hopes would likely be misplaced. He only wished that he could get to call her his Valentine. Perhaps he was soppy, and he was definitely living in a dream world. The raven haired beauty was miles out of his league, he knew that, but that didn’t help to solve the affections he held for her. Hearing a knock at the door, he frowned, then made his way toward the front of the home before throwing the door open. As soon as he did, the raven haired beauty who often occupied his thoughts was throwing herself toward him. Hesitating for a moment as he felt her arms encase his slender frame, Marcus then blinked quickly, before then raising his arms and wrapping her in a hug. Though as quickly as she appeared in his arms, she was gone. He barely had time to savour the feeling. As she pulled back, Marcus peered down toward her, from behind the thick rimmed glasses he met her gaze, and when she spoke he couldn’t stop a smile from spreading over his face. “I’m- I’m glad you liked them. I thought you would appreciate them..” Marcus then nodded his head, grinning from ear to ear. As she spoke once again, the male frowned for a moment. “Wait.. You got me those?” He didn’t think it possible, but his smile widened. “Cassie.. They were- Amazing- Thank you—“ His excitement was bubbling in his chest, he couldn’t believe that she’d wanted to even put the effort to go and find him them. “You really didn’t have to do that, but honestly, thank you so much.” Without thinking, he pulled her petite frame back into his arms.

The witch couldn’t help the smile that lit up her face as she felt the male return her hug. “I did, honestly. It was so kind of you to get me something.” She reached out and took his hand smiling. “I’ve only tried the Crunchie so far but I think it may be the tastiest chocolate that I’ve ever eaten,” Cassandra replied grinning. “And the roses with the locket. They were so beautiful Marcus. I honestly can’t thank you enough.” The raven-haired smiled nodding at the male’s question. “Yeah, I was going to put my name but I’ve always wanted to be someone’s secret admirer.” She explained with a small laugh. The Ravenclaw grinned at his reaction, excited and thankful that she’d gotten it right. “Oh, I’m so glad you liked them. I was so nervous. I’ve never brought a Valentine’s gift before so I had no idea what to get and then when I decided on the comic -- well, you can probably imagine how confusing it all was to me but it was fun and the people there were so friendly, a little shy but still friendly nevertheless.” She rambled before pressing a hand to her mouth as if to make herself stop talking. It wasn’t often she found herself being all bashful around a male. A surprised laugh bubbled from her lips as she wrapped her arms around him.

“Did you expect anything less?” Evan said, moving his head slightly to look up at the raven-haired witch. He let out a long, satisfied sigh. Evan certainly didn’t expect anything less. 

“Well, no, not really but I thought it was worth stating anyway.” She replied shrugging before sinking back down into the bed, resting her head on the male’s chest. “So, I forgot to ask, how are you?” She asked with a light laugh.

Cassandra propped herself up facing the male as she ran a hand through her hair smiling. “Well, that was fun.” She stated holding the bedsheet to her naked body.

Cassandra had received plenty of Valentine’s Gifts, it had been years since she’d had a Valentine’s day where she hadn’t received anything but this year was different, this year she’d received a gift from someone unexpected and it was a gift that meant a lot to her. Somehow she knew that more thought had gone into this than any of the other things she’d received and for that she was grateful. The witch didn’t do her usual game where she’d leave it a day or two to get into contact with her suitor, this time she grabbed her jacket and went straight out of the door heading to Marcus’. She couldn’t keep the smile off of her face as approached his building. The raven-haired female practically threw herself at the male as he opened the door hugging him before pulling back almost realising how eager she was coming across. She gave him a small sheepish smile. “Hey... I just wanted to come over and thank you for the beautiful gifts and the chocolates. It was so thoughtful.” Cassandra stated smiling as her hand subconsciously picked up the locket hanging around her neck. “Did you get my gifts?” She asked chewing on her lip almost nervous at his reaction, just hoping she’d gotten the right thing. “I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing. It’s a lot more complicated than I thought it would be.” She admitted thinking back to her visit to the muggle shop.

[seductivecass]

Cassandra, In writing I am perhaps more confident than I am with speech. So here’s a small gift, which I hope can show you how much you mean to me. I know how much the muggle world intrigues you, so here’s a little taste. With a side order of pretty things. Happy Valentine’s Day, Marcus

The note is perched atop a hamper of chocolate and sweets from the muggle world.

Beside the hamper, is a glass vase of red roses.

And, wrapped around the stem of the front most rose, is a locket.

“That’s not what the problem is. The problem is you don’t like me pushing you but we both know you need this, you don’t need me babying you or going easy.” Cam shrugged not caring if his words would upset her. “If you wanted someone to do that then you should have asked somebody else to help you.”

“I’m not saying I want you to baby me.” She snapped with a glare, letting tiredness get the better of her. “No...No, I want you to push me. I’m sorry, I’m just tired. Ignore me, let’s keep going.” The witch insisted wiping the sweat from her forehead before pushing herself back to her feet.

Odessa’s brows drew together as the woman spoke, and she shook her head. Perhaps she liked the reminder – how it fueled her hatred. Perhaps she was just too used to it. “No, it’s okay.” She would go when she was ready, or she would wait for them to heal in her own time. Either way, she wasn’t ready for that. The witch took another, long sip of her tea before placing it back to the side and meeting Cass’ gaze. “Is it?” She asked, raising her brows, genuinely curious if the other witch believed her own words. “You should have seen the state the others were in.” Odessa said, drawing attention away from herself. “They need to pay for what they did.” 

Cassandra didn’t push the subject any further she knew Odessa would do things at her own pace if she tried to push her the witch would just shut her out. “Okay as long as you’re sure.” She replied softly. The raven-haired female nodded meeting her gaze. She didn’t smile, she knew it would just come across as though she was pitying the female and that was something she knew Odessa wouldn’t tolerate. “Believe it or not it’s quite common to feel like that after something traumatic happens to you.” She was talking out of experience not that Odessa would know that. Cassandra remained quiet just listening to her friend, glad that she was talking about what had happened even if that was going to be the only thing she said. She didn’t speak out of fear that the brunette would stop talking, instead, she just nodded. “They do and they will. We’ll report them to the ministry.” Though she feared that wasn’t what Odessa was suggesting not that she blamed the witch.

Marcus hummed for a moment, fingertips tapping on his chin as one arm folded over his chest, elbow resting down on his forearm gently as he stood to think. Tipping his head to the side, he then smiled. “So, maybe it’s time we raid my film collection?” He asked with a slight smile, brow raising. 

A look of excitement rose to her face. “Can we watch one of you muggle films? But it’s got to be your favourite one! I want to know what kind of ones you like.” She told him enjoying the idea of getting to know him better by seeing the things he liked. 

[seductivecass]

mundanemarcus·:

“You haven’t upset me, don’t worry. I just- I should have asked.” Marcus spoke, then nodded his head with a slight smile crossing his lips. Brows raised for a moment as the raven haired beauty spoke again. He was surprised that she actually wanted to do something with him, after his mistake. Marcus thought that she would have just walked away, and that would have been the end of that. Perhaps he was a little glad that she hadn’t. A smile then crossed his lips, and he nodded his head. “I would love that, though I think we have pretty much exhausted your film collection, unless you got some new ones?” He cocked a brow at her, smiling once again.

Cassandra fell silent deciding it was best to just let that subject go and act like it never happened. Hopefully, it wouldn’t leave a bitter taste in the male’s mouth. She smiled relieved as the male agreed to do something with her. If she was honest she was expecting him to turn her down after what had just happened. A light laugh fell from her lips, “Yeah I think we have, haven’t we? No, I can’t say I do.” She replied shaking her head.

A light laugh passed Iris’ lips in response to her sister’s comment. “That, sounds like a definite plan. Though I’m not entirely sure whether a trashy bar is the place to find good company. Perhaps we could get dressed up real fancy, head somewhere a little more classy.” The young woman suggested, a smirk crossing her lips.

Cassandra shrugged smirking, “I’m not fussy.” She told her sister though her plan did sound better, “I like your thinking. It’s been a while since I got to wear a nice fancy dress.” The witch found herself flicking through pictures of all her dresses in her mind trying to decide what she would wear. For her getting dressed up was half of the fun of going out. “Oh! Iris, I have the most beautiful dress for you. I brought it but then couldn’t bring myself to wear it because I knew you’d look amazing in it. It's a beautiful red dress and you would look stunning in it. Please say you’ll wear it. Come on, I’ll show it to you.” She stated excitedly as she grabbed her friend’s hand.

“No, no.. It’s- It’s okay. You don’t have to explain. I understand.” His lips quirked in a slight, forced, smile. Marcus then nodded his head a few times in conclusion, before then capturing his bottom lip between his teeth. There were times in which he thought that Cassandra may feel the same way he felt for her, but there were others, like this moment, that he didn’t. “It’s alright, I overstepped and I’m sorry.” Marcus spoke once again, offering her yet another smile.

Cass opened her mouth to say something but shortly closed it feeling a little defeated. She’d messed up. It was all new to the female. She was used to the attention of men and she was used to having relationships with them but she wasn’t used to feelings being involved -- feelings other than attraction and lust. “Please sweetie, stop apologising, you have nothing to apologise for.” She said stepping forward placing a hand on his arm telling herself everything was okay, she was back in control and she was safe. “I hope I haven’t upset you.” The witch stated lowering her head ever so slightly to catch his gaze. “Let me make it up to you, we can go for some food or a drink... or you could come back to mine and we could watch a film or something?”

[seductivecass]

sonof-asnitch·:

“Like I told you earlier, you want me to back off you make me.”

Cassandra closed her eyes briefly, taking in a deep breath as she tried to calm her emotions. “Come on Cam, we’ve been at this for ages. I’m tired.” 

[seductivecass]

“So, I’m not allowed to touch you?” Marcus asked softly, brows drawing together as he then lowered his gaze, sighing quietly. It was obvious that he cared about the girl, perhaps even wanted more than the friendship they already held but, if he couldn’t touch her.. Then how could that be? Maybe she didn’t want to be with him in that way, perhaps that was why she shunned him away. He took another step back. “I’m sorry, Cassie.” He sighed softly once again.

The raven-haired female felt stupid as he repeated what she had said. He must have thought she was some prima donna full of her own self-importance. “I-I...” She trailed off as the words got stuck in her throat. Taking a deep breath she tried again, “I don’t mind you touching me per se... I just, I wasn’t expecting it and I just ...” Cassandra stopped once again not knowing what to say. She wished she could explain it all to him but she couldn’t speak about that not after repressing it for so long. The witch watched as he stepped back. Deliberately. She wished it didn’t hurt -- not that she blamed him. He must have been doubting himself, doubting her. “Please, don’t apologise.”

mundanemarcus·:

Brows drew together, and he took a step back, gaze falling to the ground as he raised his hands, palms facing her. “I-I’m sorry. I just, I was worried about you..” He swallowed hard as he peered back toward her.

Cassandra bit down on her lower lip feeling guilty about snapping at the male. “No, I’m sorry-- I didn’t mean to snap, I just don’t like people touching me without an invitation to do so.” She explained her voice a little quiet from embarrassment. It might have seemed weird to most considering how overly friendly she was but control was important to her and when that felt like it was disappearing, well, she freaked out.

Iris laughed softly then shook her head. “It’s not a bad thing.” She confirmed with a smile. “Well, the stupid barrier is down now so, maybe we could head into the muggle town, see if there’s a trashy bar we can spend our time in.” 

The raven-haired female tilted her head smiling. “Good because I make no apologies.” She replied with a smirk. “Now that sounds like a great idea. Who knows we could both end up getting laid with some sexy muggle.”
