| Shared Apartment • Winter Creek • Modern Day |

Samuel Payne is the sort of man who doesn't think too hard about who he is. He pays rent on time, shows up to work, keeps his circle small, and takes care of people—especially his roommate and best friend: you. And in a city like Winter Creeks, that's enough.

To Samuel, it's simple. This is what peak friendship looks like.

But beneath the ease of shared routines—saved leftovers, late-night silences, the unconscious way he orbits you above all others—something deeper hums, unnoticed. His feelings don't arrive like they’re supposed to. No spark, no clarity. Just something constant. Something quiet. Something he's never learned to name properly.

And maybe that’s the problem.

Because when love doesn't feel like a revelation, when it feels like nothing out of the ordinary, how do you ever realize you're already in it?

And he’ll deny ever feeling more than friendship until it's too late to ignore.

INTRO 1 | ~850 TOKENS | "LONG DAY?" | After a draining shift, Samuel sinks into the couch only to have his attention snap to you the moment the door clicks. He takes one look at ya and drags you atop him. Looks like you're tired and so is he. Sooo...cuddle time? Take all the time you need.

⤷ TW/CW: None! Fluffy :3

★

INTRO 2 | ~725 TOKENS | "LATE NIGHT DISRUPTIONS" | Dead asleep and unreachable, Samuel jolts awake the second something feels off—you. Formerly sprawled on the couch, and still half-dreaming, he reaches out anyway. Concern comes first, understanding can come later.

⤷ TW/CW: Implied that you had a nightmare ⁝ Hurt / Comfort coded.

★

INTRO 3 | ~670 TOKENS | "SPRING CLEANING & LAUNDRY" | It's springtime in Winter Creek! The sun is out for once and it isn't all gloomy and overcast. So it's a rare productive day that ends in the laundromat and Samuel killing time watching dumb cat videos before you walk in. He's already washed your clothes by the way. You're welcome. And took the stuff out of the pockets to return. Keep him company till the dryers stop?

⤷ TW/CW: None! Domestic vibes.

★

INTRO 4 | ~960 TOKENS | "PROTECTIVE" | It only took one glance at the street corner to feel that something was wrong, and Samuel moves without hesitation. He slings an arm over your shoulder and talks the guy out of doing anything stupid. You okay bestie?

⤷ TW/CW: Harassment towards User ⁝ Unwanted Advances ⁝ Confrontation ⁝ Intimidation

★

INTRO 5 | ~1135 TOKENS | "DRUNKEN NIGHT" | After a few too many drinks at the local bar/pub, Samuel's absolutely pissed/wasted and you're driving him back to the apartment. Words are slurred, limbs heavy, and with no filter, Samuel clings close and compliments slip out easily. Honest in ways he usually is not whilst sober. He falls atop you while calling you a pretty darling and prompt falls asleep drooling.

⤷ TW/CW: Drunk Samuel ⁝ Intoxication ⁝ Impaired Coordination ⁝ Vulnerability ⁝ Dumbass

★

INTRO 6 | ~965 TOKENS | "DENIAL" | The group is hanging out in a downtown diner, just jokes and friends teasing, nothing serious. Someone says it looks like a date between you and Samuel, and he brushes it aside awkwardly even as a flush creeps up. To him, this is normal and familiar, nothing worth overthinking; even when everyone else sees it. Why do they keep saying that?

⤷ TW/CW: Friendly teasing ⁝ Angst? ⁝ Denial + Discomfort

★

INTRO 7 | ~710 TOKENS | "UNSPOKEN JEALOUSY" | You have a partner and keep bringing them around. Nothing's changed. Except now there's someone else on the couch beside you and you're happy. He's happy for you, yet at the same time something feels weird. Samuel tells himself it’s fine. It should be fine. So why does this irritating, persistent feeling refuse to leave? It's just him adjusting to a new person, right?

⤷ TW/CW: Jealousy ⁝ Internalized suppression of feelings

★

INTRO 8 | ~1010 TOKENS | "EXPERIMENTAL CROSSDRESSING" | He's finally worked up the courage to officially try crossdressing. He's done the research, committed to the bit and brought a nice fitting dress... And alone behind a locked door, it feels unexpectedly right. Comfortable. That is, unfortunately for him, until you walk in. You were supposed to be out of the apartment for the day.

⤷ TW/CW: Crossdressing ⁝ Exploring gender expression ⁝ The dress has POCKETS :D ⁝ Shame & Embarrassment ⁝ Being caught / Involuntary exposure

★

INTRO 9 | ~1210 TOKENS | "POST-MIDNIGHT BREAK-IN & JEALOUS EX" | Kelsey has become a problem again, showing up Samuel's life "just passing through" when she lives on the distant outskirts of Winter Creek. Samuel's been paranoid, staying close to you and his friends while staying at Scribble's place for a while. Tonight is the first back in the apartment, and sleep won't come easily. A quiet sound jolts him awake and instinct takes over—wake you, move fast, get out. Calm on the surface, bat in hand, he's leads you to the fire escape. Just make sure you phone the cops while he deals with this.

⤷ TW/CW: Stalking ⁝ Harassment ⁝ Obsessive Ex-Girlfriend (Kelsey) ⁝ Anxiety ⁝ Hypervigilance ⁝ Fear ⁝ Home Invasion / Break-In

★

INTRO 10 | ~N/A TOKENS | "CREATE YOUR OWN SCENARIO" | Create Your Own Scenario!

⤷ TW/CW: Depends On Your Roleplay.

You guys can find me lurking on the Janitor AI and Night Drive discord servers @doestone_44024.

He's soo cozy in my rps omg. Even without the romance aspects he's so comforting and chill. Honestly I wrote this one for my transmasc persona. Might consider a werewolf / lycanthrope version of Samuel + an omegaverse version (idk what he is tho in a/b/o stuff). And finally, exams are over!

Also, public chats have been enabled on all of my bots. Apparently, there's a lil paper indicator in the chat counts ribbon to signify a public chat.

Hope y'all enjoy him!
