Split Ends (BBS×Reader)

×The next day×
I walked down my stairs, finding a blonde woman leaning against the kitchen island.
Who?
I slunk against the wall, practically becoming invisible and sneaking up. Brian was standing on the other side, smiling and chatting with the female while pulling apart an orange. Surprisingly enough, he didn't notice me and continued happily chatting.
Thats when I noticed something, a blush settling over his cheeks as he talked too her.
Something sparked inside of me, jealousy?
No, no, I am NOT jealous. I dont care what hoe Brian brings home.
Then again, what if she is a spy?! This group IS one of the biggest threats in the game. I slowly stepped next to him, looping my arm around his and making my presence known.

He jumped so hard he almost dropped his orange, "BY JESUS!"
I smiled his way but turned to face her, only finding Cassidy.

Waow.

Cassidy was hardly recognizable with her shoulder length CLEAN blonde hair. The bruises and cuts on her face gone, most likely because of Moo's excellent doctor work. Her eyes shone a beautiful hazel that cut deep through mine.
For a second, it looked as if she was going to bite my head off from interrupting the conversation.

Trying to brush off her look, I looked up at him apologetically, "Sorry Brian! I didn't mean to,"
He just nodded, trying to hide his blushing cheeks.
Cassidy cleared her throat, looking at him expectantly.
"So, you know Cassidy." He muttered, scratching the back of his neck.
I didn't give her a second glance and tightened my hold on his arm, "Yea, yea, c-can I talk to you for a minute?"
He looked at Cassidy across from us, then back to me. I rolled my eyes and turned to look at her, "Ya don't mind if I pull him away right? Good," I said, not waiting for an answer I pulled him away. I left her to her own devices in the kitchen as I pulled him around the corner and onto the balcony.

He seemed to be still in a mood, his eyes slightly dazed. I snapped, "Brian?"
Terroriser stared off over my shoulder, at what I guessed was probably a bush.
"Brian?! Come on,"
"Blue what?"
His sudden snap shocked me, I scooted back slightly, "What the fuck? I was just wanting to know how you continued to the next Hiest without returning Cassidy."
Brian's eyes widened, "Fuck- Oh my god." His eyes regained focus on me, "Blue im so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you like that."
I just nodded and leaned against the balcony's siding.
I felt a soft touch on my arm, I looked up at him, "Blue seriously, I don't know what came over me like that."

I had an itching feeling that the reason started with a "Cass" and ended with an "idy".

I sent him a fake smile, "Its okay. You going to tell me though or what?"
He stood next to me and looked over the hillside, "We kidnapped an AI that fit the same description as her, at first we didn't think it was going to work. Surprisingly Lester took it and thanked us. We got a big check for it though."
I pursed my lips, looking at a small scratch displayed on his cheek. "How did the Heist go?"
Brian frowned and leaned against the balcony's walls, "It was hard, being short two people."
I happily hummed, "Yea well-"
He quickly interrupted me with a smile, "-but it was easier then having to worry about you. I knew during the Hiest you were no where close, couldn't get hurt."
I felt my heart flutter, "Well, it was still stupid. When I found out, it made me nervous." I punched his shoulder, noticing him wince, "Don't do it again asshat. What happened?"
He grimaced, "Nothing, I'm fine."
I gave him a look, he sighed and took his right arm out of his shirt, lifting it up to expose his chest and shoulder, wincing from the movement.
I had to stop myself from practically drooling, trailing my eyes up his abs and finally landing on his shoulder. A giant bruise has formed over it and it looked bad.

"Jesus, what happened during that Hiest?"
.
.
"Shirts off," I demanded.
Marcel nervously chuckled, "You want me naked so bad, we might as well take it to the bedroom."
The other guys went pink, I snapped my fingers, "Come on."
"Yea, come on." Cassidy chimed in.
I crossed my arms, facing her, "Sorry but could you give us a moment?"
She didnt move, so I stepped forward, looking eye level with her. Cassidy seemed to try and challenge me but her shoulders eventually slumped, "Whatever."
She left the room, her bedroom door slamming shut.
.
.
I turned back to the guys with a huff, "Come on, I saw Brians."
Delirious sighed and accessed his menu, taking off his hoodie and revealing a normal white wifebeater. It reavealed a giant bruise that covered his left shoulder. I let out a soft gasp, reaching out to lightly touch it. "How?"
When I turned, I found the other guys sitting around shirtless. Dark purple and blue bruises covered their bodies. Other then Ohm, I raised an eyebrow, "Where are yours?"
He frowned and rolled up his pant leg, the same bruises covering his legs. I shook my head, covering my mouth, "What happened to you guys yesterday?"
Moo bit his lip, "The normal..."
I shook my head, "No, this is not normal."
"I tried to treat it! I-I- it just didn't work-"
Nogla put his hand on Moo's shoulder, "Hey, don't beat yourself up about it. You tried your best."
Moo let out a groan, "I don't get why they won't leave."

I sat on the couch, "Well obviously... The game is getting harder. Damage is going to be harder, our wounds arent gonna heal as easily. What would be the struggle in that?"
Evan put his shirt back on, wincing as his back popped, "Well this also just means that we are getting closer to our goal."

How do you guys feel about Cassidy so far?
