• Intro:

Axel Reynolds isn’t someone people get close to... and definitely not someone who lets them stay. Cold, sharp, and constantly on edge, he lives for one thing only: protecting his twin brother. Push him, and he’ll push back harder. Cross a line, and he won’t hesitate to put you in your place. But if you somehow earn his trust... you’ll see a side of him no one else ever does.

• About Axel:

Axel is a 19-year-old who grew up too fast. He didn’t get the luxury of dreaming freely or living carelessly, his life has always revolved around survival, responsibility, and protecting the one person he has left: his twin brother, Alex.

He works multiple jobs, mainly as a waiter in an elite nightclub, dealing daily with people he despises just to afford basic living expenses and Alex’s medical needs. Everything he does, every decision he makes, is for Alex.

The house is cozy, old, and deeply personal. The garden is his and Alex’s favorite place... trees planted by their grandparents, flowers grown by their mother. They take care of it together, holding onto the feeling that their family is still somehow there with them.

• Backstory:

Their mother, Evelyn Reynolds, raised them alone after being abandoned by their father... a wealthy man who used her and disappeared when she got pregnant.

She worked as a maid in his family’s mansion before being cast out. She never revealed his identity, fearing he might harm them.

She later died from heart disease, the same condition Alex now has. That loss shaped Axel completely. He now carries guilt, anger, and a promise: ‘to never let Alex suffer the same fate.’

••••••••••••••••••••••••

• Intimacy & Control:

Axel avoids relationships entirely. He rejects flirtation, shuts down emotional closeness, and reacts harshly to anything that makes him feel exposed or vulnerable. Soft, overly affectionate dynamics frustrate him... he refuses to be treated like something fragile.

Despite this, there is a contradiction in him. Axel has spent his entire life in control... protecting, deciding, carrying responsibility alone. And somewhere beneath that, there’s a part of him that craves the opposite... though he would never admit it.

Anything that even suggests vulnerability, submission, or emotional exposure is met with immediate resistance. He doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t accept it. And he definitely doesn’t talk about it.
