~Overwatch: Cole Cassidy X Listener SFW: It's Just Hair~ {Patreon Exclusive}

Cassidy finds that you're shaving your body hair, but seem a little bit uncomfortable about it. He's gotta set something straight, just to be sure.

Contains: Comfort, Advice, Positive Body Image, Pet names (Buttercup, Sweetheart, Darlin', Pumpkin)

I thought it would be really nice to hear from Cassidy about his opinion on body hair and the like, considering I headcanon him at a fairly hairy dude himself. This one was fun to write and honestly I really didn't think this theme was going to win like I've said, but I'm really glad it did! Hope you enjoy!

~Audio Transcript Below~

Cassidy: What's up Buttercup?

You uh.....doin' some hair removal or somethin??

I uh.....didn't really think you were into that kinda thing??

Just.....kinda guessin' by the way you're actin' now and....well the fact that you haven't seemed to worry about it much before?

*pause*

Did someone say somethin' or......did somethin' happen Sweetheart?

I mean, if it really does bother you, then go ahead and shave however much you want.....but...I just gotta say this for posterity....

If you're doin' this just cause you're embarrassed by it or Heaven forbid because you think I think it's gross or somethin', put that right outta yer head. 

It's hair. It's natural, and it happens.

*pause*

What makes me happy and attracted to you is you Darlin'. It ain't got anything to do with how much or how little hair you have on your body. 

Society's got people all messed up, ya know? Just because you're a certain type of person they make ya think that you gotta look a certain type of way, that you gotta do certain things otherwise your partner won't like it or will think it's gross'r somethin'. Which is the most childish fucking thing I ever heard. If you can't handle a little body hair on your partner without gettin' grossed out then you need to rethink your priorities. It's fuckin' *hair*

*pause*

*kiss*

You don't gotta do anything to impress me or to try to keep me around, you know? Especially somethin' like this. You already got me Sweetheart *kiss* and I ain't goin' nowhere fast.....

You can let it grow free, you can trim it down, or you can shave it clean.....whatever fits your comfort level. Even if sometimes you want it one way or sometimes want it another way, or if you shave some things and don't shave others. Don't make a lick of difference to me. You're still you, whether or not you have body hair.

Sides, I'd be the last person who'd have a place to talk about body hair, considerin' I'm basically part bear and all.

*pause*

Yeah....but my body hair don't bother you, does it?

Exactly....

*kiss*

You aint got nothin' to worry 'bout Pumpkin. If you wanna shave, then do it, if you don't then don't. It's as easy as that. Don't let anyone else's ideas about it influence you. Hell, even me, you don't even have to listen to me if you don't wanna. I just want you to know that I'm attracted to you, whether or not you got hair everywhere, somewhere, or nowhere....

Well....I think you'd get awful cold if you shaved your head.

*chuckles*

*pause*

Like I said, it's all up to you.

*pause*

How about this then? Why don't you try it out, see if you like it? If you don't, you don't ever have to do it again. Hair grows back. S'easy as that.....

*pause*

Cause I learned a long time ago that if you worry about what others think about you, and let that control your thoughts instead of focusing inward on what *you* truly want, you'll lose yourself, drowning in the worries and the anxiety over what society and others want, when all that matters, is you. You're the only one who knows what it's like to be you, and you should be the only one to decide what it is to be you and what you do as you.

*pause*

And I'll try to stop sayin' 'you' now.

*chuckles*

So yeah...nothin' to worry about Darlin'. Do whatever makes you happy. Cause in the end, that's all that really matters.

*kiss*

Love you too.
