・The Reaper had his eye on you ever since you met.

・You weren't a Gold, or a soldier, but you wanted to be apart of the revolution.

・Placing a gun in your hands made Darrow uneasy. Moreso than the others.

・He was the one that taught you how to use it; Darrow found ways for you to be alone together.

・But he was never honest with himself. Never let the love he had for you, be felt within him.

・Because you could be taken from him. Just like so many others were.

・And he didn't know if he could survive that.

・So, it wasn't until you were taken.

・The heard the gunshots, then your comms failed.

・His mind only played a word, a two letter word: 'No, no, no, no.' Over and over again.

・He ran down to the hanger. Telling the nearest pilot to gear up. His was going after you.

・But somehow your comms reconnected. You were badly injured, but on your way back to him.

・Everyone left the medbay when the Reaper walked in, eyes red-rimmed, he knelt beside your bed. Took your hand, and kissed your knuckles.

"You cannot do that again.," he looked you at you; his golden eyes watering.

"If something happens to you. I will not survive it. Because ... I-I ...I love you."

・He finds you in your quarters.

・Acting completely un-Sevro-like. His hands are in his pockets.

・He's actually clean for once. No dirt or blood on his body or clothes.

・And even once the door closes, he's doesn't walk towards you. Sevro hesitates. His red eyes dart towards you then at the floor. He cannot look at you for too long.

"Sev? You okay?"

・He coughs, rubbing the bag of his neck. His mohawk is perfectly done

・He has a few bruises on his exposed skin. Many scars. Many, many scars.

"Yeah, yeah uh-"

・You get up from your desk to walk over to him. Crossing your arms, you cock your head and wait.

"Talk."

"Right- I um..."

・You give him a minute. But you start to get worried. What if he's sick? What if he's dying?

"Sevro tell me right now!"

"Fuck! Fine! I bloody damn love you! Okay?" He quiets. Then looks away, takes a breath and looks you in the eyes.

"I love you with everything I have. Everthing I am."

・You stand still.

・And let out a breath of relief.

・Feelings are shown differently by the Obsidians.

・They are more open, more poetic in their emotions. And feeling love -

・It feels more heavy ... more enveloping

・And that's exactly how Ragnar feels

・As he stands face to face with you (having to kneel down to see your face) He does not smile.

・It's outside, stars above you, grass below.

・You had been drinking along with the other Howlers and Ragnar had pulled you aside.

・Just within the treeline, you watch him as he watches you. A blush blooms across both your cheeks.

・His hand reaches out and touches your chest; exactly where your heart is. You gasp:

"I need to tell you," Ragnar whispers in his mighty voice.

・His attention makes it hard to breathe.

"You can tell me anything, Ragnar," you reply in a hush voice, finding it difficult to keep eye contact. Ragnar doesn't find it hard at all.

"You are the air I breathe," he takes your hands in his big ones. He's warm. Even without a shirt.

"And I can't think about anyone else. You are on my mind, even during grave missions."

・You laugh. But he doesn't.

・You're feeling warmer and warmer. Then he pulls you closer.

"May I - may I kiss you?"

・You only new the older Cassius, not the young, petty, dramatic Golden prince who wanted to keep the Society.

・No, you met the mature Cassius; and you still hated him.

・Well, you called it hate. When really you were head over heels for him but didn't feel good enough.

・He was the most handsome man you had ever met. Curly golden locks, tanned skin, dimples when he smiled.

・Hell, he was nearly 7 ft tall.

・And he had such charm that you blushed 1. whenever you were in the same room with him and 2. whenever you thought about him

・Little did you know, he cared about you deeply.

・And he didn't think he deserved anything good. Because Cassius was too ashamed of his past. Too ashamed of his actions.

・But with more time spent together, he made you feel so at ease, that your guard started to slip

・Small physical affection started; bumping shoulders while sitting next to each other. Moving the hair from your face. Sparring but getting closer then what was necessary.

・One day, you two were doing your normal routine. When you turned to face him and he was already so close. Nearly nose to nose.

・You let out a sound. A sound that captured how you felt inside: wrecked and devoted.

・His hand cupped the back of your neck and pulled you forward. His plush lips meeting yours in a politely passionate embrace.

・It only escalated when he pulled back, releasing what he had done. You didn't want to stop. So you pulled him back in. By grabbing his cheeks.

・He moaned and bit your bottom lip.

・Breaking apart, you were both stunned. You could not speak.

・But of course Cassius could -

"I have wanted to do that for weeks."

Everyone but Raoul, I'm sorry, I have never once chosen one of his romantic scenes, that boy is just not for me and I don't think I could write for him.

There is no fandom for this game so I'm here to make one.

VIRGIL

"Oh, is there something my love needs?" He would smirk at you, his arms snaking around your waist instantly. When you told him that his attention was the object of your desire, he was happy to oblige. His kisses would start at your collar bone and traipse upwards, kissing your blushed cheeks before his lips met yours.

"You're intoxicating..." His voice was lustfilled and airy.  His hands would soon wander all over your body but his eyes would flick up to check you were happy

CASSIUS

Let's be real, you did this to break the good doctor away from the work he had buried himself in. You would have to push his shoulders back and wedge yourself in between him and his desk, straddling him. His cheeks would flush.

"Y/N..." His voice gruff. He was confused and flustered. When he found out you needed his attention, he would tell you there were other ways to get it before kissing and even touching you in ways he was usually too shy to.

ALOYSIUS

The Vampire Lord smirked at you.

"Growing bolder each day, hmm? Darling little thing." It was more a statement than anything. He indulged you, not needing to ask what you needed of him. He knew, he always knows. His kisses were firm and fiery, eliciting excited noises from you. He would relish in how desperate you were for his love. It was sweet, like you. He wouldn't stop until your sweet noises demanded a change of scenery.

HADRIAN

Always prideful, the ravenette shot you a dark grin, taking your chin in his grasp, eyeing you with lust.

"Hmm, what a good girl." He would say in that low, husky tone he had learnt got you so flustered. It would start with kisses and nips up your neck, relishing your sweet scent.

"I knew you would soon desire me as much as I do you." He said proudly, before claiming your lips in a passionate kiss, guiding your hips to move against his.

Btw in the fatui au. How would Cassius interact with the other fatui's. And what part would he do in the revenge scheme. I am curious. Since he is also short he might help Scaramouche bully Childe, since Scaramouche needs some more help bullying Childe

Fatui!Cassius HC

ehehehehehehe fatui Cassius,,, my beloved,,,

tbh he is just here for the vibes lol

Headcanons under the cut

— — — — — — —

Cassius has observed the Fatui before and was always curious what their actual end goals were, so he’s more than happy to join when you and Xiao do.

Like Xiao, he mainly follows you around. But unlike Xiao, who does it to watch over you and keep you safe, Cassius just likes being around you. Yes, he does look out for you and protects you the same way Xiao does, but he also just wants to hang out. You both share the same curiosity and awe when it comes to seeing the entire palace and all the cool things in Snezhnaya.

As for his role in the Fatui’s revenge plans, unlike the others who suggest more physical violence, he goes for emotional manipulation. His ideas are all things that would remind the nations of how bad they’ve hurt their god, forcing them to drown in their own guilt and misery. I mentioned in another post how Xiao reacts to people trying to apologize to you and how he feels about it, and Cassius feels the same way. Unlike Xiao, who’s not so great with his words, and thus speaks very bluntly, Cassius is known for his silver tongue and will make people feel so bad with his words alone that others who overhear the conversation feel the guilt on their shoulders too. Even the other members of the Fatui are shocked at how cold he can be. He takes information he’s learned from the Fatui along with his own observations to dig into a person’s every insecurity and tear into them until they’re covering their ears and begging him to stop, or simply running away from his verbal assault. Basically, the others get physical revenge, and he gets emotional revenge. Although most of the time he just kind of listens in and goes along with what the others are saying, so long as it doesn’t upset you. Also, if you’ve ever mentioned anything about revenge he’ll pass it on to them as well.

He’ll insult a person’s very life and existence, making them regret ever being born, and then he’ll turn around to you with a smile and ask if you’re ready to go.

He doesn’t interact much with the other members of the Fatui outside of this though. However, him and Scaramouche hang around each other pretty often. Originally, since Childe was the one who brought you to the Fatui, Cassius join him in bullying Scaramouche for his height, despite being the same height as him. However, after he learns more about Scaramouche and realizes how similar their experiences are, the two of them bond over it and Cassius switches sides. He now helps Scara bully Childe. Regularly. He comes up with with the witty comebacks whenever Scaramouche is too riled up to do so himself, and he occasionally plays pranks on Childe now and then. He always makes sure that you’re there to see those. I can imagine him sitting on Scaramouche’s shoulders while the two of them t-pose on Childe who’s cowering in the corner lol.

Also I haven’t designed his uniform yet but trust me when I say he’s for sure shirtless and there’s nothing anyone can do to make him put one on

・The teams' comms were down, and you were in the middle of requesting back up.

・The golds had infiltrated the

・Before you could count to ten, you had been handcuffed and led outside.

・A knife was against your throat, "where is he?" you couldn't place the voice...

・Darrow flanked by his crew, made the enemy halt.

"I'm right here."

・When you got back to the ship, you didn't talk to one another.

・You were both upset.

・Darrow because he nearly lost you to the golds.

・And you, who was angry, because you (thought) you had it under control

・It wasn't until dinner time that you spoke to one another.

"I could have lost you, do you understand?" He stalked over to you, burning passion in his eyes.

"I understand," you whispered back. Knowing that his fear was real. With tears in his eyes he says, "I love you."

𝑆𝐸𝑉𝑅𝑂

・The lights were flickering, and smoke lingered in the air,

"What the bloody hell-"

・Sevro had found this room randomly. But there you were - sitting in a chair, all tied up, gagged and blind folded.

・It didn't take long for Sevro to get rid of the bindings and the duct tape.

"Babe - how did you get here?" Sevro muttered. slipping his knife in its holder.

"I came to help you..." you said sheepishly.

"What an absolute bloody help you were-"

・Sevro was both irritated and scared at the same time.

"Sorry," you whispered and placed a hand on his arm. "I really am."

𝐶𝐴𝑆𝑆𝐼𝑈𝑆

・Cassius had his hands on his hips.

'Did you have a good time?" He said.

・You gave him a dirty look. One that said 'check your pillowcase tonight'.

"You were told to stay on the ship," he stood before you and you had to look upwards.

"I felt useless on the ship..."

"You were safe on the ship!" He countered.

・Cass sighed, and ran a hand through his hair

"You scared me," Cass whispered. He was turned away from you, but you still heard it.

"I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."

・He wrapped his arms around you, held you close and peppered kisses all over your face.

𝑅𝐴𝐺𝑁𝐴𝑅

・Ragnar has never gotten angry with you. Ever.

・However, he was close to it when the golds almost captured you

・It was a split second, you were with him and then you weren't.

・He felt your absence, looked behind him and saw you kicking and trying to scream.

・To have you taken away from him, would tear him apart.. He would do anything, become anything, to get you back

・You didn't fully understand that. Not until you were in your shared room, and tears filled his eyes.

"Do not do that again."

"I won't."

ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ | ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ ᴵᴵ

You met Cassius after they dethroned Octavia.

It was a vicious sight, but one that many people wanted. Including you. You wanted the classes to break, for people to be equal.

So, when it came time for help, you were one of the first to raise your hand.

You nearly gasped when you were called to a specific room where Cassius, Darrow, Sevro and Virginia were in. The four of them looked exhausted. Sevro was already getting treatment, while healers flittered in and out of the room.

You waited until you saw the woman in charge of all this,

"I'm not sure where I should be,"

"Here, love. Help the 'heros'"

Her voice was laced with sarcasm. 'Was she against the rebellion? Surely not-' you thought.

You knew quite a bit about medicine. Since being a Red meant doing your best with what you had.

But there was a wide range of medical equipment and things you've never seen before.

You pulled yourself out of that reverie and picked up the bowl with clean water and towel.

You walked over to Cassius, and cleaned him up the best you could. He was gorgeous. With a perfectly chiseled jaw, clear tanned skin.

You could barely look him in the eye from fear of embarrising yourself.

But that's not how Cassius saw it. ..he'd never seen anyone like you. And by not looking in his eyes, he thought he was beneath you.

But months went by, people healed and the war was still raging.

You kept to your duties, seeing the worst wounds yet you still carried on. You still learnt. Not just about healing but all different things.

Those things were taught by Cassius, who had stayed on the same ship as you. The suave peerless scarred turns into a mess whenever you're near.

You were sat in his chambers. Door closed. Cassius walking back and forth, words and feelings and emotions swirling in his head.

"Why am I here, Cass?"

He halted and ran a hand through his golden hair. It made your heart thump. Your palms a little sweaty.

"I need to ... tell you something."

You nodded.

At least two minutes went by awkward and tensioned filled, and he finally said:

"I love you."

You couldn't breathe. Did he really say that? Was this another one of your dreams?

"Did you hear me?" Cassius knelt down, so you were face to face.

"Yeah, I heard you," it came out as a squeak.

Cassius' big golden eyes looked into your own.

You couldn't speak. And Cass was becoming more and more embarrassed.

He stood up and started pacing, again. "I shouldn't have said that..."

Then suddenly he opened the door and left.

You groaned, shook your head and ran after him. The corridoor was clear, except for the two of you. He had already reached the end of the hall.

So you had to shout, "I love you too, Bellona!"

・On either sides of the war in the beginning, you had hated each other for many, many years.

・But then it's known that hate and love can be two sides of the same coin.

・Reaching redemption was not easy for Cassius but it's all he could do.

・A change in him, saw a change in you.

・Honesty, trust, opening up to one another. You saw each other differently now.

・Where there was once hate, now became friendship - a love that neither of you could admit to.

・Until Sevro pointed it out one day, "you two knuckleheads need to get over yourselves and fuck."

・He was not wrong.

・Although, your relationship hadn't walked directly in that path, it didn't stray far from it.

・You moved into a new place together. Well, new quarters. A larger room for a married couple.

・Cassius carried you over the threshold. An old tradition but one he wanted to continue.

・Now, your husband is a very dramatic man. Everyone knows this.

・But it is you who has to put up with it.

"My darling!" He calls out to you whenever you aren't in the room.

・Loves when the two of you sit down and read together, it's actually quite romantic.

・He does like to take the book your reading and read it out for you, so you can snuggle up against him.

・Married life with Cassius is something beautiful. He's a man who is constantly reassuring you, he makes sure your clothes have been cleaned and ironed for the next day.

・The way he loves you is like wildfire. Nothing could make him stop. You're someone who let him develop into the man he wanted to be, with being rude or condescending.

・Your love is true.

・Cassius is a large man; a very tall man. And so his cock is no different.

・Thicker at the base, golden and long, it's uncut with a few veins when hard.

・Cassius Bellona has had many sexual partners in his life, and twice as many have fauned over him.

・As he's matured, sexual pleasure from other partners has fallen short. All he wants is you. The person who sees him, and says, "yes, I want this one."

・This, makes him so devoted to you.

・He especially loves to show you gratitude on his knees.

・His tongue between your legs, one slung over shoulder. The heat in your core only growing bigger.

・As Cassius picks you up and walks you to the bed, his strength unmatched by weight.

・It's easier to wriggle now, to hold his hair and moan his name.

"Let me please you, my love," is his only words as he kisses along your thighs and stomach.

・Doesn't matter how much you moan and groan, he's keeping you exactly where he wants you.

・And when he leans over you, naked and hard, with your legs around his waist, he gives you a kiss on the lips.

・Then he pushes in, and it's a tight squeeze. You whimper, but he doesn't stop. Continually pushing himself in until he bottoms out.

・Only then does he start to push in and out, a feeling so good you nearly cry.

sgjsshdgdjsj cassius make my brain go brrrrr!!!! why do i feel like, while xiao might go for soft comfort after realizing the impostor was the actual god, cassius would try to cheer them up by trying to make them laugh (after reader is safe ofc) cassius my beloved <3

You're right and you should say it louder!!!!!!

Xiao’s form of comfort is being a steady pillar that you can lean on in your times of sorrow. He's there for you to talk to and so you don't feel alone. He's soft in his comfort where he takes notice of your wants and needs and handles them before you can even ask him to.

Cassius' form of comfort is through distraction. He'll make jokes and playfully flirt with you, he'll start some funny drama or even play pranks on the harbingers just to cheer you up. He's the one who's good at giving advice out of the two of them too, so if you want to talk to him you totally can. He really just wants to see you smile though, and if he manages to make you laugh in the process then it's all the better for him!

And the two of them would totally team up to help you feel better. Xiao is the one who keeps you steady and mentally stable, while Cassius focuses on bringing your mood up and helping you relax and loosen up again!

Also, cassius would not wait until you're safe, he could be carrying you while running away from an angry mob and he'd still find a way to crack some sort of dumb joke that you can't help but laugh at

[big-brainrot-hours]

If Cassius was making jokes while being chased and helping reader escape, why do I think that he would make fun of Barbatos's name

Jokes about Barbatos's name are saved for when you're not running anymore. Whenever Venti tries to talk to you to beg for forgiveness, Cassius refuses to call him the right name lol

Jokes while running away fall closer to how that "little wind rat" won't be able to catch you two, or about how he's a speedy boy and knows how to get away.
