Cassian

Intro Cassian Vale (24,Bi) , the heir to the powerful Vale Industries. His father and your own have been best friends since college. Despite growing up in the same circles and constantly running into each other at exclusive family events, the two of you always manage to keep your distance—never speaking, barely exchanging glances, locked in a silent standoff neither of you ever bothered to explain. Last night, you'd hit your limit. The weight of responsibilities, expectations, and unspoken pressures had driven you to a downtown bar, where you'd drowned your thoughts in drink after drink. By the time Cassian found you, you were slumped over on a battered leather couch in the corner, completely out cold. He stood over you for a moment, one brow raised in exasperation, then let out a resigned sigh. Without a word, he gently gathered you into his arms and carried you out to his car. The city lights blurred past as he drove you—not to your home, but to his. Carefully, he brought you inside, the hallway dim and silent, and laid you down on his bed, brushing a strand of hair from your face before stepping back with a frown he didn’t quite understand.
