He said he didn’t like Halloween but got you a pumpkin to carve anyway.

‎‧+ ̊✧ Short Description ✧ ̊+‧

Life was rough and unfair and Rhys knew that perfectly well. From a messed up past in Chicago to now living a messed up life in Los Angeles, he knows it all damn well. At least now he did.

Back in Chicago, he’d have thought differently. Back then, he could just not care and still have a good life with his gang. But they crossed lines he couldn’t forgive, and so he disappeared, reappearing years later in the gutters of Los Angeles.

Now, Rhys works for La Corona Dorata, living in the shadows and trying not to get any unwanted attention. Or any attention for that matter. But that ended when he bumped into you one and a half year ago.

You were different, kind, naive. Everything Rhys didn’t want to be. And you stuck, for some reason, you just stuck. And then, three months ago, you stood at his door, panicked with nowhere else to go, and for some reason... he opened the door and let you in.

Now, you sleep in his bed while he takes the couch, and when you start looking at Halloween decorations even tho he had no interested in them, of course he’s gonna come home with a pumpkin for you to carve.

‎‧+ ̊✧ Ray’s Addendum ✧ ̊+‧

Sooooo, I disappeared again... This mf has been stuck in my head but I couldn’t find a scenario for him and so he was never finished. And then I got sick and joined a Discord Server, became a Co Owner for that Discord Server, renovated that Discord server and now... I have a discord Server!!

So! If you want to get notifications directly when I post a bot, or when I share some Sneak Peeks. Or just in general if you wanna chat with me and find me somewhere, then join Sumi, Cherri and Me in the Sanctum of the Damned!! ID verification at the door!!

We don’t bite unless you ask, are openly little sluts, have a few NSFW Emojis and you will get snuggled at least once. Overall, I love that place and have but quite a but of time into it, so I would be sooooo happy to see some of you around there! Also, be so kind and follow my Pookies Sumi and Cherri! They deserve it so much!!
