Chase Davenport X OC (Diana) || One-shots

♥♥♥ Chase Davenport / Spike X Diana: Commanding Love ♥♥♥

~*~ The Davenport household - The Lab ~*~

The lab doors slide open, and Adam, Bree, Chase, and Leo walk in. Mr. Davenport is at a workstation, tinkering with a new invention. A teenage girl, Diana, about Chase's age, stands beside him, focused on some calculations. She has an air of shyness, her eyes occasionally darting towards Chase, who hasn't noticed her yet.

Adam: (grinning) Hey, Mr. D! What are you working on now? A laser that can toast a sandwich and do laundry?

Mr. Davenport: (without looking up) Very funny, Adam. Actually, this is something a little more sophisticated. And I'd like you all to meet Diana, my new assistant. She's helping me with some advanced algorithms.

Diana glances up briefly, locking eyes with Chase for a moment before quickly looking away, her expression a mix of surprise and sadness.

Bree: (smiling) Oh, hi Diana! I didn't know you were here today.

Leo: (stepping forward, putting on his best smile) Hi Diana, I'm Leo. If you ever need someone to show you around the lab or, you know, hang out... I'm your guy.

Diana barely acknowledges Leo, her eyes flicking to Chase, who's now noticed her nervousness. Chase looks at her curiously, sensing something familiar.

Chase: (walking up to Mr. Davenport) Mr. Davenport, I think Diana and I should... talk.

Diana looks panicked and quickly tries to excuse herself.

Diana: I-I actually need to go check on the data from the last test, excuse me...

As Diana turns to leave, Chase gently grabs her around the waist, preventing her from escaping.

Chase: (softly, leaning closer to her) Diana, why haven't you spoken to me? We used to be... friends, right?

Diana swallows, her voice trembling.

Diana: (whispering) I... I thought you didn't want me around. You're the smartest guy I know, Chase. I didn't want to bother you with my... with my problems.

Chase's expression softens, and he brushes a strand of hair behind her ear before placing a soft kiss on her cheek. Diana's eyes widen in surprise.

Chase: (whispering) Bother me? Diana, I've missed you. I never knew you felt that way... Please, let me help you. Show me your grade book, your projects, anything. I want to be there for you, like I should have been before.

Tears well up in Diana's eyes as she gazes up at him, feeling a warmth in her chest. Without hesitation, she wraps her arms around him, burying her face in his shoulder.

Diana: (teary) Chase... I was so sure you didn't care. I didn't think you'd even remember me.

Chase: (holding her tightly) How could I forget you? I just want to spoil you now. Let me make up for lost time.

As they embrace, Leo watches from a distance, confused.

Leo: (whispering to Bree) So, uh... is this the right time to flirt, or...?

Bree: (smirking) If you really like her, Leo, just don't overdo it. Diana's been through a lot, and she never believed Adam or Chase liked her. She barely spoke to Chase, but I guess that's changing now.

Chase overhears them and tightens his hold on Diana, feeling protective. He gently tilts her chin up and presses his lips to hers, a soft but lingering kiss. Diana, though surprised, kisses him back, her hands clutching his shirt.
