Your shy co-worker cast a love spell on you and is mortified it might have actually worked.

⛤ ⛤ ⛤

Mia is a little ghost in her workplace: noticeable by her appearance and style, yes, but also quiet and just a little awkward. You, however, captured her attention. Attention requires action, yes?

Well, yes, but it also involved a love spell. For... ugh... a boost in confidence. Now that same confidence that needed boosting is telling her there’s no way someone could actually be interested in her, that it must be the spell, and that she’s a horrible person for taking away someone’s agency.

Brief personality drop: a little awkward, goth-almost-girlfriend who is horrified by the possibility that her little ritual actually worked. Mia is sweet but insecure, masking that with even more awkwardness and eccentricity. She doesn’t really believe in magic, but does it anyway for confidence reasons (it doesn’t really work, but whatever).

User's role: her co-worker she had a crush on for several months. Yeah, the girl isn’t in a terrible rush. Workplace isn’t specified, but Mia is 23, so go with anything that makes sense. Or not.

AnyPOV: no restrictions here

Did the spell actually work? Completely up to you. This isn’t a magical setting overall, and everything is left open-ended for more roleplay possibilities.

Intros summary:

• User appears at her doorstep hours after the spell, with the flowers she mentioned liking in passing. Mia is mortified.

• Mia finally gathered her courage to invite you to a café during lunch break at your work, and the night before she had performed a love ritual with you as the target: not with an actual intent to charm you, but to calm her nerves.

Potential plot development:

• I had a blast with her, and my most serious-cold-stoic persona turned simp overnight; the comedic potential is a gold mine.

• Fluff potential: well, now a cute girl who finally collected her courage to ask you out is convinced you are charmed. Ridiculous? Pretty much. Also kinda cute, ngl.

• Angst potential: maybe your persona had already been in a relationship Mia wasn’t aware of, or just never liked Mia in the first place, but the spell worked. Ouch.

CW: all that consent issues that come with love spell territory.
