Just wondering, what is caretaker Cass like? Not sure we've ever seen that side of him!
Depends what kinda Cass and what kinda care-taking weāre talking about. But, broad strokes, Cass as a caretaker is the epitome of Worriedā¢.
If Cass can find an alternate caretaker while he hovers on the sidelines, he will. Not because heās lazy or doesnāt care but because he has absolutely no faith i his ability to not make things worse. If he canāt find someone else to caretake, he will become very bossy in the āthe doctor told you to keep it elevatedā kind of way. He will also go out of his way to make sure the person has as much as he can provide for them.
Like āokay so I got you a glass of water and some Panadol and some throat lozanges and also another glass of water in case you finish the first one and two blankets because the first one is warm but a bit scratchy and the second one is soft but a bit thin so I figured theyād cancel each out and I got you some snacks so you donāt have to go to the kitchen and I can turn the heater on if you want but the doctor told me to make sure you werenāt too hot and oh that reminds me I need to take your temperature again...ā etc.
Once he knows what heās doing and gets over his initial gonna-make-it-worse anxiety, heās actually a pretty good caretaker. Heāll pretend like this is all in a day and remain generally calm and nonchalant externally, even if internally freaking out a little. Heās systematic so he doesnāt fuck anything up and patient and gets a lot of satisfaction out of helping other people.
If heās caretaking in the emotional sense, he will be very still and quiet, responding directly and emphatically to the needs of the person in distress. Whatever theyāre going through, feeling, wanting, Cass would lay bets heās been there too. As long as heās not also having an episode himself and he knows its not directed at him, heās not afraid of strong emotions. Heās more than happy to cop a couple of hits, or have someone cry on his shoulder, or sit in silence beside. Whatever.
After, though, heāll be drained and withdrawn and have to take time to recouperate. Heās still not very good at giving without carving parts of himself out to do so.
Probably the closest weāve seen to a caretaker Cass so far is in Dark Timeline, when @evermetnotforgottenās Lev gets shot. Cass pulls out all the stops to make sure heās okay. He stays at the hospital right through his surgery and then sleeps by his bed until he wakes. He makes sure Lev has the things that are important to him close and tries to make him feel as safe as possible, including bringing him home to the Estate. Cassius Bergen has a notably more resources than Cass Drake ever would and uses all of them to make sure his dumbass drove-to-die-in-your-arms-not-to-a-hospital boyfriend recovers.
While walking down the street, a black kitten scurried across the path. Upon further inspection, it had small black horns coming out of the sides of its head, shaped similarly to ramās horns. The kitten dropped a note at your feet, mewled, then promptly caught on fire and ran away, vanishing. The note read, in a strange script:
āWhat is your characterās most controversial opinion? Is it related to food? Politics? The logistics of human nature?ā
At the bottom, it was signed āAzrael, @oc-ask-demonā
Strong warnings for victim blaming and rape culture ethos
It would not be an opinion he readily voices but Cass holds tight to the belief āif you liked it/enjoyed it, it probably wasnāt rapeā until heās a good few years into therapy. Itās definitely one of the Trauma Opinions he holds onto the longest and definitely one he lies about believing because he knows itās not something he should say or think
CASS VIBES u say of the muse blinding himself to the hands greedily consuming him, arching into them like if he presses close enough of his own accord they'll take him gentler
FUCK YOU NELL I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART ANYWAY JUST TAKE IT

Wait have we found out how old Cass was when he went to Bergen? Is it a secret?
Itās not a secret so much as a detail I could never really settle on for a long while! But he was quite freshly eighteen.
Cassius was scooped up by Christopherās program because he was in youth detention and about to be transferred to an adult prison. A billionaires mansion sounded like a pretty attractive alternative.
Cass will dress more or less in whatever clothes heās provided with. Heās not particularly fussy or connected to what he wears. (Cassius Bergen is another kettle of fish entirely though and probably deserves his own wardrobe post tbh)
At Bergen Estate, he wears the same clothes as the rest of Christopherās charges unless Christopher has decided to dress him in something specific.
At The Facility he generally wears the company provided clothes, though he does make a semi-conciliatory habit of nabbing different layers from people when heās out and about. Again, if Tucker needs him to do something specific, a suit or collared shirt will be provided.
A Cass left to his own devices will gravitate to something grungey, comfy, and layered. Jeans and a t-shirt, some sort of flannel, a jacket that definitely isnāt his, or at least wasnt when he started wearing it. Clothes you can nap in.
Pictures under the cut in case anyone is curious!

But youāre gonna make him though, arenāt you? Let him go to uni?
Cass you mean? Honestly, he probably wonāt, unless it was much further along in the future. He wants to, but he technically never finished high school so heāll need to do that first which he may do or he may not.
Studying is something he wants more in terms of yearning for a life he coulda woulda shoulda had rather than something he wants deep down. There are a lot of ānormalā things that Cass wishes he could have had or done that he feels like were taken from him by either Christopher or the Facility. Study is one, even though he technically dropped out of school long before either were a part of his life.
Tertiary study really wouldnāt suit him and if he tried it, even after getting a high school certificate, heād likely drop out or fail. His brain isnāt quite wired for it and heād struggle asking for the accomodations heād need. It just wouldnāt really be for him, and thatās okay! Cass doesnāt end up needing a uni degree, anyway. He ends up with a job he really likes and a full life without one.
