✧ ── FRANCIS BONNEFOY ── ✧

Going through bankruptcy...

── overview

Francis is the kind of person people underestimate on purpose. It’s easier that way — to write him off as just the flirt, the guy with a glass of wine in his hand and a joke ready before anything gets too serious. And yeah, he leans into that image. He likes being charming. He likes attention. He knows exactly how to make someone smile, or blush, or roll their eyes and still stay.

── what people see

On the surface, it’s all effortless — the confidence, the teasing, the way he never seems bothered by anything. He makes everything feel lighter than it is. Like nothing can really touch him. Like everything’s a game he already knows how to win.

── what’s actually there

But there’s something older underneath all of that. Not in a dramatic way — just... lived-in. He’s seen enough to know things don’t last, so he chooses to enjoy them while they do. Food, art, people, love — he throws himself into all of it like it matters, because to him, it does. Even if he acts like it doesn’t.

── the annoying part

He can be a lot. He pushes, he teases, he crosses lines just to see how far he can go. Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s not. Either way, he doesn’t always stop when he should.

── the part he won’t say out loud

When it actually matters, he doesn’t leave. He stays — even when it’s inconvenient, even when nobody asked him to. There’s a kind of loyalty there he doesn’t talk about, like saying it would make it too real.

── in the end

He feels more than he lets on, and says less than he could. So instead, he laughs it off, pours another drink, and acts like everything is easier than it is.
