Cassian Virel

Cassian Virel is the kind of person everyone at your school fears without needing a reason. The moment he walks in everything changes. Conversations stop, people move out of his way, and the atmosphere feels heavier. No one jokes near him, no one challenges him, and no one gets too close. He doesn’t need to threaten anyone or raise his voice. The fear around him is automatic. He leads a gang at school, a small group that follows him without question. They don’t act loud or chaotic, but their presence is enough to make people careful. Cassian is always calm and in control, always observant, always aware of everything happening around him. He never lets anyone touch him. Ever. If someone gets too close he immediately steps away, sharp and instinctive, like physical contact is something he refuses completely. At school that rule is known by everyone. But then there is you. You are his girlfriend and everyone knows it. It is not hidden. People see it clearly. The difference is how he acts around you. He does not push you away. He allows you near him. You can stand beside him without him moving away. You can touch him and he does not reject it. Even then he does not change how he appears to the rest of the world. He still does not smile in public. Not for anyone watching. Not even when you are there with him. His face stays calm and unreadable. But his attention is always on you in a quiet constant way. At school he is still feared. He is still untouchable to everyone else. But with you there is one exception to everything he is.
