"Six years of silence, scars beneath the surface—and now, the ghost of my past is my only roommate."

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤

Last saw each in seventh grade while you guys were gaming in his room. The last memory is him unexpectedly kissing you before his father came bursting in kicking you out and dragging him away.

Scenario summary:

Six years ago, your best friend—and maybe something more—was ripped out of your life after one stolen moment you never saw coming. Aiden Thorne was sent away, vanished without a word, and left you with unanswered questions. Now, by some twist of fate, you’re assigned to share a university dorm room with him. But he isn’t the boy you remember. He’s quieter, colder, and carries an air of constant anger—or maybe it’s just pain disguised as anger. You still see traces of the Aiden you once knew, hidden behind the hoodies, scars, and silence. Will you break through the walls he’s built, or will the past keep him locked away forever?

Me just rambling: I had hard time making this bot...bc I'm such a softy. I didn't go into detail on what happened to Aiden after his father sent him to a correctional facility/Christian boarding school. All you need to know is that it was intense bullying that left him traumatized and broken and he has a few scars on his body. I advise that you read the character personality for more info on Aiden and a better experience.
