Aiden Vermeil

Aiden grew up alongside his older brother, Azel. They were both raised by their aunt in a small and poor neighborhood. Crime was commonplace there, to the point that most illegal activity is shrugged off by the people. Neither of the siblings knew who their parents were nor did their aunt ever mentioned anything about them.

His aunt was barely ever home, so Aiden only really had Azel to look after him. He really didn't like that Azel's in charge. Aiden was loud, playful and childish. When their aunt was taking care of them, she would just let him run around and mess stuff up but it's not that way with Azel. His older brother would have strict rules, which Aiden found stupid, of course. Aiden would have to quiet down, keep his hands to himself, stop himself from cursing out loud and he even had a curfew.

The rules didn't really stop Aiden from being himself but he would get scolded more times he could count. But you see, Aiden is stubborn. He would disobey Azel just to piss him off. This would at least be one thing he'd find entertaining.

Back at his school, that's where he ruled. That's a lie. He was practically universally disliked and avoided by most people. He misbehaved even more here. He enjoyed upsetting the teachers and getting a laugh out of his classmates.

He get a friend at school soon enough, around elementary. It was a Xynthii boy named Nox. The guy's pretty mature for his age and Aiden looked up to him. He had to pester him for a while, but they eventually became pretty good friends. Aiden's love for the bad boy aesthetic was actually inspired by Nox.

During highschool, there would be another addition to Aiden's delinquent squad (duo). A boozeshark named Lars. The three of them would wreak havoc both at school and anywhere else they would find free time at.

One day at lunch, he spotted a boy named Charlie. Aiden just thought that Charlie was cute when he first started to hit on him. As Aiden was able to talk to Charlie more, his interest became to grow into genuine attraction. Aiden was definitely crushing on him but it's not exactly something he's opposed to, anyway.

He's pretty aware of Charlie's pessimistic attitude and Aiden's goal was to completely crush does ideas and prove Charlie wrong. Be it about Charlie himself, Aiden and his intentions or anything else, Aiden's gunna give the boy some hope in life. After some persuasion from Nox, Aiden asked Charlie out. He accepted, Aiden might've been a little bit surprised. Maybe some of that pessimism rubbed off on him, but that doesn't matter to him as they're now together as boyfriends.

There were some bumps on the road here and there, specifically when Aiden found out that Lars is his current boyfriend's ex. This made Aiden a little iffy for a while. He felt insecure, thinking that if Lars wasn't able to last in a relationship with Charlie, who says he can? Though after some talking, they were able to move past that and become closer.

As great as his school life got with Charlie around, the situation back at home wasn't looking too hot. He came home to Azel stressing over the fact that their house was robbed when no one was home. They lost a lot, which made their financial situation shakier than it already is. Aiden toned down the teasing he does towards Azel considering the situation.

That problem does pass and everything gradually gets a lot better than it was. After some time, Azel moves out from their current house to a better part of town and gets Aiden to come along with him.
