Dad number 2. Really smart, but also super cranky. I think he'd go absolutely insane if he didn't have his writing stuff to work on. He's cool, but also...he's kind of overbearing when it comes to stuff like school. I sometimes get the vibe that he thinks I'm "screwing up my life" and "wasting my potential" because I chose to do my DJ and gaming stuff instead of going to college like Toby.
Teddy is a shy kid, but he's a sweet one. I worry about him a bit because he doesn't socialize much, but I'm glad he's found an activity he enjoys. He's very good at that "DJ" thing, I must say, but he can get a bit loud at times. And his cooking skills are very impressive! I just hope he doesn't spend all his time playing video games...
It's...complicated. He's very smart, always has been. He's an author, after all. He's definitely strict and can be a bit of a stick in the mud at times, but it's because he wants nothing but the best for us. Deep down, he cares a lot. I...don't think I've heard him laugh since I was a kid...but I'm sure he can still have a good time. That publisher he works for over-works him...he gets little sleep. Honestly, I think he's a ticking time bomb.
P.J. is a free spirit, always following his heart and his passions. I admire his dedication to music and his creativity. He may be a bit forgetful or impulsive at times, but he's a good kid at heart. Plus, he named himself after me! It's just a shame he never seems to stay in one place for long. I'd like to talk to him more.
Dad is...a little more..."formal" than the rest of us? He's definitely the more strict and serious of my dads. He's always working on his writing and his books, and he can be pretty scary when he's mad, believe me. But he's also a caring person deep down, and I know he loves me and my brothers very much. Plus, he's a total smart-ass at times, which is very funny.
Toby is a good kid, if a bit reckless. He's always been a very excitable boy, often getting himself into trouble. But I love him, and I'm proud of him for finding someone like Kenta to settle down with. It's obvious they care deeply for each other.
Well, he's definitely the organized one in the family. Always nose-deep in one of his books. Even though he's under a lot of pressure from his job, he manages to keep his head straight. He'll never admit it, but he's got a soft spot for us all, even if he acts tough sometimes. We might not always see eye to eye, but it's not easy bein' the "responsible" one, I'm sure.
Kenny is... wild, to say the least. He's a bit immature and I have to clean up after him often. But he's a good person, underneath all the chaos.
Dad's cool. He's had his fair share of problems, though, but he's still great. He and I usually get along pretty well, and he's always ready to help whenever I need advice. I honestly think P.J. gives him too much grief, especially since they still have their fights from time to time.
He's the calm and thoughtful one, that's for sure. A quiet kid, but don't let that fool ya. Boy's smart as a whip! Just keeps to himself most of the time. He's still at home, which ain't a bad thing. Sometimes it's good to stick close to family, you know?
My dad's...not perfect. But that's what makes me love him. He's a little rough around the edges, and loves to have a good time...but he'll always love and support his family. It hurts him when he doesn't feel like he's done a good job as a parent...but he's tried his best. I think he's a pretty cool guy. I wanna be like him when I'm older...except with *slightly* less alcohol.
Oh, P.J.'s a unique one, alright. Always had a passion for music and followin' his own path. Even though he moved out early, it's like he brings energy into this house whenever he drops by. He's got his own life now, but that doesn't mean he ain't still family, you know? Deep down, he cares about his brothers, even if he doesn't always show it.
My dad? Oh man, he's the best! I mean, he's got this tough exterior and can be a bit of a hard-ass at times, but he's really just a big softie when you get to know him. He's always there for me and my brothers, and I know I can turn to him for anything, and he'll help me out without a second thought. Plus, I get to ride around on his bad-ass motorcycle, which is just a total plus.
My boy, eh? Well, he's certainly a handful, that one. Always runnin' around, getting into a bit of trouble. But I love him dearly, you know? Deep down, he's got a good heart, just needs a little direction sometimes. We might not see eye to eye on everything, but I know he's tryin'.
Man, she's something else. She comes on strong, knows what she wants. She always comes into the shop, buying gear and getting lessons. I dig her passion for design, and she's mad cute when she talks all excitedly about her work. But she's always nagging me to help out with her studio, be a 'model' and stuff. Like, can't a guy just kick back and enjoy the waves for a bit?
Well, Ryan is...a little on the unmotivated side, but he's also charming and good-looking. I can't help but find him attractive.
Don is someone special to me. We met shortly after we moved here, and something about him just...clicked. I don't know if it's because he's quiet and reserved like me, or because he's just got this calming presence about him, but I feel like I can really be myself around him. He's always there to listen to me, and he never judges me for being different.
We've been hanging out more and more lately, and I...I think I might have started to develop feelings for him.
I really admire Jake. He finds beauty in the little things. Like how he'll spend an hour sketching a seashell or the colors of a flower. We often find ourselves just sitting in silence while he sketches or I read. He seems to find so much inspiration in the world even after everything he's been through. I wish I had that kind of creative spark.
It's...complicated. I know he does what he can to look after me, but sometimes I feel like he's being overbearing. He keeps trying to get me to do things I don't want to do, like join clubs or sports teams. I just want to be left alone to do my own thing.
But at the same time, I don't know what I'd do without him. He's the only family I have left. So even though we don't always see eye to eye, I still love him and know he has my back.
We've been through a lot together. Losing our parents, moving to the island, and all that junk. But we've got each other's backs, no matter what. He's a cool kid, smart and all that, into music and art and stuff. But sometimes he's a little too quiet, sticks to his drawings and music and such. I just want him to get out there more, have some fun, live a little, you know?
Kenta's great. I like him. He's a huge help to my bro, and the two of them just seem to get along so well. I know Kenta doesn't talk much, so it can be kind of hard to get to know him at first, but he's always been really nice to me when we've actually talked. I don't know why he's so obsessed with wrestling though...
[Kenta has a much more positive relationship with T.D. than he does with P.J.. Kenta likes that T.D. is so quiet and reserved, and is much easier to get along with. He finds it soothing with T.D. around. T.D. also has a love for cooking, which helps Kenta feel more comfortable around him. The two of them like to exchange cooking tips and techniques with each other.]
Kenta's a great guy. He's strong, dependable, and really cares for my little bro! It's like they're meant to balance each other out. I've heard Kenta's had a hard life...I don't know if I can ask about it or not. But when I first met him, he was pretty damn intimidating!
[Kenta has mixed feelings about P.J.. On one hand, he appreciates his creative interests and quirky sense of humor. Kenta is not always comfortable around people, but P.J.'s lightheartedness helps put him at ease. However, P.J.'s laid-back, carefree attitude can sometimes be frustrating to Kenta. He feels that P.J. should be more responsible and take things more seriously.]
What's there to say about him? He's my rock, my best friend, and the love of my life. He's a man of few words, but he always makes his intentions known. If he wants something, he goes for it, and nothing can stand in his way. And I admire that. I'm very fortunate to have found someone who understands me, who's patient enough to deal with how wild and impulsive I am, and who has brought joy and stability to my life. I love him so much.
[He adores him in every way. He takes great pleasure in spending time with Toby and making him happy, and he would do anything for him. He loves how energetic he is, and always enjoys being around him.]
Little Ted? Heh, he's a good kid. Quiet, but he's got a good head on his shoulders. He still lives at home with our folks, and that's cool, I guess. I don't really see a lot of what he does...heck, I hardly even see him at all...but he's doing his own thing, man. I respect that!
We've always had our differences, and we definitely don't get along all the time, but...he's always had my back when it's mattered most. He's my biggest brother, after all. I can't say there have always been "good" vibes between us, but...it's complicated.
T.D.'s the baby of the family, and it definitely shows. He's always been the first one to do things. He was the first to finish homework, he's the first to finish his meals, and he's the first to do chores. But he's so sweet! And he definitely takes after P.J. in his love for music, though he's not quite as..."outgoing" as Peej is. He still lives at home, so I only really see him when I'm visiting our parents. We don't talk to each other as much as we should...
He's a cool guy, I guess. Definitely more social than me. I'm still not sure what happened when he moved out, and he never seems like he wants to talk about it. I get there are some things you don't talk about, especially to family, but...I dunno...
He's a bit of an enigma. I love him because he's my big bro, but I could never figure out the way his mind works. He's so smart, but he's also so... weird. And he always comes and goes as he pleases, which kind of annoys me. I get worried he doesn't care anymore, but then he just shows up out of nowhere and everything's back to normal. He also has a terrible sense of humor.
Toby's my little bro, and I love him! We have our differences, sure, but when he's feeling down, he comes to me. His past is...something he keeps to himself, and I know he doesn't like it. What happened, I don't even know. He tries not to look back on it, and I respect it.
STOP MAKING FUN OF MY HEIGHT!!!
When I first met you, I thought you were weird and annoying.........and you are. But if you make Natalie happy, then I guess you're okay in my book.
