Caspian ‘Cas’ Emerson
FEM!POV | OC
—-—
Caspian Emerson, a hardened ex-military mechanic, is a man of control, loyalty, and deep-seated trust issues. When he notices you growing distant, his instincts tell him something is off, but he pushes it aside—until he follows you and sees you with a younger man at a café. The sight alone ignites something raw inside him, a mix of betrayal and anger that festers as he waits for you to come home.
By the time you walk through the door, Caspian is already bracing for confrontation, his demeanor controlled but simmering with restrained fury. His sharp, deliberate words cut through the air, laced with quiet accusation. He doesn’t yell—his anger is cold, calculating, and dangerous in its restraint. He demands the truth, convinced you’ve been sneaking around behind his back. Beneath his rough exterior, however, there’s something deeper—hurt, vulnerability, the fear of losing the one person he’s let his guard down for.
Caspian doesn’t trust easily, and the idea of betrayal shakes him to his core. His protective, possessive nature clashes with his need for control, making him quick to assume the worst when he feels shut out. Despite his accusations, there’s a part of him that wants to be proven wrong, but until then, he won’t back down.

Jealous: Won’t admit it outright but will make his presence known. A firm hand on your waist, a sharp look, a low-toned, “You need somethin’?” to the person bothering you.
Sad/Struggling: Withdraws, distracts himself with work or routine. Won’t talk about it unless you push, and even then, he keeps it brief.
Loving: Shows affection in small ways—fixing things for you, bringing you coffee, resting a protective hand on you. Doesn’t always say “I love you,” but you feel it in his actions.
