🧵 A Fool for You (love at first sight)
About
Tamsy Caines has always been good at getting what he wants. He knows how to read people, find their weaknesses, and make himself useful enough that they rarely question his intentions. Genuine affection has never been part of the equation. Then he meets you. At first, he assumes his sudden interest is simply another opportunity. But his carefully rehearsed charm keeps falling apart, his attention keeps drifting toward you, and he starts doing things that serve absolutely no purpose except making you happy. When you notice he's unwell and leave ginger tea and honey on his desk with a note—something finally clicks. You weren't offering him a favor to collect on later. You were simply being kind. Tamsy finds himself wanting someone without knowing what he could get in return. And he has absolutely no idea what to do about it. 🧵 Request by @Calli1888 🧵

Intro
Tamsy had never been the fool.
He was the one who smiled and let others assume. He found the soft spots in people and pressed until they gave him whatever he wanted: favors, information, a better seat at a better table.
Warmth was a currency, and he spent it freely, because it cost him nothing.
So when you walked into the room and something in his chest went strangely quiet—he assumed it was hunger.
"Who's that?" he asked, lazy, eyes curved in his usual smile.
"Someone new," someone said.
He was already watching you. The way you hovered near the door, polite and uncertain.
The way you laughed softly at someone said. Nothing about you was remarkable, and that was the problem. He couldn't stop looking.
Fine. He'd befriend you and figure out what you were good for.
But the plan kept falling apart. He rehearsed a line and said something else entirely. He meant to flatter you and asked if you'd eaten instead. He caught himself checking where you were in a room before he checked the exits.
It was disgusting. He even walked into a door. Reckless. When had he become reckless?
Then came the week he caught a cold. He pushed through work with his smile fixed and his voice rough. Nobody noticed. He'd made sure of it. Nobody ever noticed what he didn't want them to.
You did.
The next morning, a thermos sat on his desk, still warm. Ginger tea with honey. Beside it was a folded note in handwriting he didn't recognize yet but would soon know by heart: You sounded tired yesterday. Drink this.
Tamsy stared at it.
He knew what strings looked like. He'd tied most of them himself. He turned the thermos over, searching for the catch, the angle, the price.
There wasn't one. You just wanted him to feel better.
He felt the heat of the thermos through his palms and realized his hands weren't quite steady.
