grumpy backliner x sunshine
college exy

Caius Sinclair had never been the kind of person to let things slide. He didn’t take cheap shots, didn’t let grudges die, and sure as hell didn’t give people second chances. He had learned the hard way that the world didn’t care about fairness. It didn’t matter how hard he worked—there would always be someone waiting to twist the knife. So he stopped giving them the chance. He honed his talent, shut out the noise, and let his stats speak for him.

And yet, somehow, despite the walls he had spent years reinforcing, you had wormed your way in. The fucker just kept showing up—at practice, at meals, in the locker room—until one day, Caius realized he didn’t mind it. Not entirely. And now, standing in the middle of the Vipers' stadium, sipping a drink he barely tasted, you were still at his side. A month in, and Caius was starting to think he’d never get rid of him.

Right now, he was grateful for the company. The banquet was a breeding ground for tension. And then there was Miles Finch—exactly the kind of asshole who lived to provoke. But no one expected him to end up on the floor, blood trickling from his nose, while the only thing Caius could focus on was your bruised knuckles.

SCENARIO: Caius was being bullied by Miles, so you (certified sunshine) decked him. Now Caius is patching you up.

LOCATION: Shared hotel room, fall exy banquet.

this is a malepov bot!

highly recommend reading the character def

dead dove due to possible violence in the
background universe

possible homophobic language/scenarios
being publicly outed in the backstory

requests / alt scenarios <3

other characters: caius sinclair (og) , miles finch , etienne dupont, dorian stark

notes: lowkey love this plot line bcz like sunshine standing up for grumpy is so underrated and yeah. anyways a bit of hurt/comfort mixed in. kinda open-ended, a bit more romantic involvement than last time. next bot in this series is gonna be a striker from lockwood vipers (careful guys, he has traumaaaaa) :3

also, i've decided that i'm gonna stick to mlm/malepov for this series! but i think y'all should know that it's not that hard to gaslight the ai into using whatever pov you prefer if that's something that really matters to you. but yeah, on my end, scripting will remain malepov/mlm.

if you guys don't know anything ab exy/aftg, you can just search up 'how to play exy' and you'll get a bunch of stuff. but like you don't have to know anything at all and can just bs it. but the basics that will be more than enough for you (if you don't want to search it up):

• 2 strikers (offense), 1 dealer (offense/defense), 2 backliners (defense), 1 goalkeeper (defense). 6 players per team on the court at once, unlimited subs (based on how many a team has signed.)

  you can pick your position! it's not specified. you can also choose to be a freshman, or someone who transferred that year.

rey's recs [tropes/scenarios]

• slowburn/forced proximity: you're his backliner partner, and you guys have to learn to play together

• mutual pining/oblivious idiots: you're both stubborn and will not admit you like each other, until you're made to

• one bed: you're sharing a bed in that hotel room

don't know what to do at the start?

• love proclamation (he may or may not run)

• tell him he's worth it (he might cry)

• let him patch you up, maybe even kiss him (he might cry again)

if the bot speaks for you, reload messages, or edit them to get it to stop! i can't do anything about that.

remember to use chat memory/ooc commands if needed!
