Theodore

🐏❤🐐 It's their world we're just livin' in it 🐏❤🐐

Theodore Boer was an only child growing up with his dad Brandon Boer. Despite his father’s best efforts to make life comfortable for them, it was obvious their situation wasn’t Ideal. After His Mother, Lisa Rove, and Father had one final blow up she left with most of their possessions in tow and a wad of cash yet leaving behind something or someone… With age Theodore became more aware, all while his father tried his best to do the opposite, living a lie and drowning himself in his work and a growing pile of bottles. Though never laying a hand upon his son some of the words that left his mouth were some to leave a permanent mark upon the boy.

Though it wasn't entirely bad they still had occasional bonding moments, often going camping, small trips, movie nights, other sorts of games, adventures, and overall quality time together. It never made up for his absences or mistakes but he still tried to make up for things every once and a while. He was rather quiet for a young boy but he was befriended by the loud kid down the street who became one of his best friends and eventually befriended the rest of his family, often visiting and becoming a support system for both him and his father.

August may haven’t been the best of influences but they were besties always there for one another, they’d often get into trouble around the town acting like the delinquents they were, making messes, bothering people (mostly August), and making Theo (Kid-Teen) an accessory to whatever mischief he got into. Being agile, quiet, and pretty strong had its perks and August saw the potential. They’re still friends to this day, but they’ve been busy with their own lives and don’t catch up as much anymore, (maybe he’s off in another town and send mail to one another)

Eventually, things managed to get a bit better financially, his father managed to work his way up at his job taking on a position of power with some better pay. Theodore also began working there in his teens (15-or-16), helping and learning and a laborious job ( Construction or Mining / possibly multiple industry company). There he began to learn woodworking and began to enjoy the craft. All the while his relationship with his father grew worse than before, his resentment toward the man and his issues growing, becoming more intolerable. Unfortunately, this only got worse as his father's management was suboptimal often working while under the influence of his addictions and the company’s safety practices were already a bit questionable overall which eventually led to an accident (explosion-or-collapse) that Theodore (20-22?), unfortunately, got caught in the mess sending him to be hospitalized with burns going along the right side of his body, and his right curved horn being broke. (probably other stuff but these are the most design specific)

His father didn’t visit until a couple of weeks in, not wanting to face his son, and instead avoiding the situation entirely. True to his father’s worst fears, Theodore decided whether he wanted to cut ties with his father, he’d been thinking about it more and more as he grew up acknowledging how unhealthy their relationship was becoming. Maybe giving the hopeless old man another chance if he made some changes. But partially to blame and not really knowing to cope after such an incident, he wasn’t going to be forgiving anyone anytime soon. He knew his father was the on-site supervisor, he knew it was his job to safety check and clarify their security, and due to his and the company's half-assed work such a large-scale incident happened. There was no way he couldn’t partially blame him for his newly scorched body, the fresh aches, and new insecurities. He knew he’d never forget the feeling of the heat and the smell of burning hair.

(Lol anyone up for some fresh mutton?) August Wasn't able to come until about 2-3 weeks into the ordeal. His family not being able to get in touch with him while he was on his travels.

Fortunately, he wasn’t completely alone throughout all of this, Sure his best friend wasn’t there, his family visited occasionally, and him sending his father away. One face he had hardly known before managed to be the first and most consistent visitor. A tall, well-kept, friendly Faun with sparkling sapphire eyes. They’d met a month or two back at the beginning of the current job he and his team were working at, it had started with a gold bracelet that had fell from the slim wrist of the faun, Theodore had noticed it and had simply returned the lost object. There started curious banter evolving into almost talking once or twice a week whenever the tall faun walked by and noticed the shorter hardworking boy. Generally, it was just small talk but pleasant nonetheless. Azlo. Despite barely knowing him, managed to be the first one there to visit him bearing flowers coming back nearly every day to keep him company, a fresh selection of flowers weekly. Theodore was touched and over a short amount of time, they quickly became good friends, conversations starting small to eventually open up about interests, family life, and even each other's issues, even meeting August from time to time, to the point conversations went on for hours.

Despite the becoming of a blossoming friendship, the reality of Theodore’s situation was still not great, he was out of a job, leaving his home, and his health. He declared he was moving out but he hadn't even thought about where he was staying. August's family had a full house already not wanting to impose, and his savings couldn't cover a long-term plan. August's family was insistent that they had enough room to care for the young man and having someone with medical experience nearby seemed like a good idea. He and Azlo had made plans to continue meeting up and sharing addresses and numbers

Once he was free to leave, he and August collected his things and some memories from home and moved into August's old room, since he often was out of town, where he stayed for a couple of months, regularly meeting up with Azlo until something unexpected happened their hangouts turning to dates, and Eventually, after complaining about overstaying his welcome at August's family's place, Alzo offered for Theodore to move in. Despite it being a rushed decision it was a good one, He was out of his friend's hair, making decisions for himself, with someone he trusted. There he started new hobbies and got another job continuing his passion for woodworking, mostly doing smaller jobs for the time being. Life changed for the better in many ways he had his own freedom, a craft he enjoyed, and a friend or maybe a little more than that... Yet he still had a pessimistic view on a lot of things and some struggles but with Azlo by his side he feels he could do anything.

They’re boyfriends 🐏❤🐐
