his name is caspian, cas for short, and you two had become close friends over the past year. he had always found you attractive and flirted with you sometimes, but you just assumed he was joking and he could tell you weren’t taking him seriously.

he’s a black belt in taekwondo and often brags about it to you and your friends, leading you to ask him for a demonstration. “come on cas, show me a move! you want me to be able to defend myself, don’t you?”

you pestered him teasingly, and he gave a long, theatrical sigh. “fine, fine, i’ll show you…get ready, ok?”

you nodded excitedly, waiting for him to instruct you where to stand. you didn’t get a chance to ask him what he was going to do before he acted, sweeping your legs out from under you in one swift movement…but you didn’t even have time to react, he had already caught you. he held you steady with his strong arms around your waist and back, giving you a moment to recover and smirking down at you “yeah, you won’t be needing to defend yourself when i’m around…i’ve got you”
