cassidy knew that he wouldn’t be able to solve all her problems or make every bad thought she had about herself disappear . the mind was far too cruel to ever cure any of them of the different things that ran wild in their minds . but what he knew he could try to do was help her or remind her of how special and great he thought she was . did it mean much ? maybe ? maybe not but it was something . it was all he could give , all he could contribute and he would because he cared . he wanted to put a smile on her face and even if he couldn’t convince her that everything he was saying was true all the time . even if she still had doubts about herself , at least he’d distract her from the thoughts for a little while . or that’s what he’d hoped he was capable of . sadly enough , cassidy didn’t give himself all that much credit when it came to his abilities to be there for the people in his life . always feeling like it wasn’t enough , like he wasn’t giving them what they deserved and so on . it really was a frustrating and ongoing saga for the male . that being said , he wasn’t thinking about it much right now . he was just glad to see at least a little bit of the weight on her shoulders lift off for a bit . “ are you kidding ? “ he started , “ of course i would , i mean i would change it from past tense and say i like it when you do but i don’t wanna get ahead of myself . “ he joked , “ can’t get all the fashion students in this place getting too excited . “ laughing , he was messing around as he kept his eyes on her . leaning down slightly when she got up on her tip toes . eyes drifting closed for a moment as her lips softly pressed against his jaw line . cassidy opened them only to closed them again as their lips met . moving his hands to her waist . cass opened his eyes again , keeping the close proximity as her arms wrapped around the back of his neck . in some way , there was an even bigger sense of relief once she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him the way she did . even more reassurance that whatever was going on , it was fine . maybe he shouldn’t have been that relieved or that content with it but he was . not that he was reading too much into his own uncontrolled reactions . “ unfortunately , that’s something that’ll probably never fade . “ he said , a smile sneaking on his lips as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against her forehead before pulling back again . “ so , you wanna show me some of your designs for real ? you know , this time without almost knocking the mannequin down ?“
with a widening smile , “ there you go , upsetting everyone again , “ she teases alluding to his reputation among fashion 101 , the cause of much drama and upset aboard the ss ( she’s ignoring her interactions with the music majors in good humour ) . she felt better , when he was touching her that way and his lips pressed against her forehead then she felt the security that she was used to . when she had been with max , she had felt secure because she had been sure he would never leave because he was infatuated with the idea of her and would do whatever she wanted but with cass it was different , she knew that he saw her as she really was and liked her for that anyway . even if it was messy and chaotic , sometimes just stupid , the things that came out of her mouth forwards , blunt , not the right things to say at all . “ i think i’ve learned to cope with it , “ she rolls her eyes , being silly . she liked him just the way he was , flaws and all , but always wished for something better too , that he would be able to see himself the way that she saw him . she doesn’t answer the question straight away because she’s still looking at him , arms still rested where they were before although there is a little space , a smile still present on her face as he asks his question because the worry and restlessness is now gone . “ mm , ” she hums at the thought , willing to go back inside and show him her designs although she’s sure that he has absolutely no idea if they’re good or not , that he will just nod and say it’s amazing despite being clueless about what it’s meant to look like . he had always been a good friend , that was why she had such a close relationship with him for the year before but now she was seeing him a little differently , wondering how she had missed it before . she starts pulling her arms down but still leans upwards and dresses a small kiss to the side of his mouth a little shyly , “ come on , then , “ she quickly grabs his hand and interlaces their fingers as she speaks , demonstrating physically that she’s over the little freak out that she was having beofre , that things are just fine , “ stop teasing me else i’ll knock you down instead , “ she threatens before beginning to walk .
