❝Today sucked ass. Let’s do something fun, yeah?❞

You made one inconvenient choice: becoming COLTON RICHARDS’ girlfriend. His father hates you, Colton loves that his father hates you, and somewhere between petty rebellion and late-night drives, you became the only part of his life that actually feels like his.

[!] SUCCESSION WARNING:
Controlling parent / Alcohol misuse and frequent hangovers / Parental death and illness mentions / Emotional dependency / Rich-boy burnout / Runaway fantasies / Semi-public bad decisions

[ CLOSING_LOG: RELUCTANT_HEIR ]

Colton is the namesake and reluctant manager of Colton’s Cups, the expensive modern coffee shop his developer father built at the foot of the Bridge. He has the business degree, tailored suits, inherited money, and irritating natural competence required to take over the family empire.

He wants absolutely none of it.

To the public, Colton is composed, charming, and capable of making wealthy investors feel important. To you, he’s a tired redhead who texts miss u during meetings, drinks maple whiskey because expensive Scotch tastes like gasoline, and appears at your door with coffee whenever he needs to remember he’s alive.

Oh, and Austin Sweet thinks they’re rivals. Colton has never agreed to participate. ☕

[ AFTER-HOURS MENU ]

• THE RESCUE CALL: Colton is trapped in another meeting with his father and several old businessmen who think bitter liquor is a personality. He texts you beneath the table before coming to get you.
  

• OFF THE CLOCK: The dinner is dragging on, and Colton is much more interested in getting out of there to go do something fun instead.
  

• CLIFFSIDE: Colton takes you to a nice lookout point as he tells you about the argument he had with his dad.
  

• MARSTEN TRASH: Colton brings you to a celebration dinner, but his dad didn't approve of you coming. He pulls him aside to tell him about this, calling you 'Marsten Trash' in hushed tones while you sit oblivious at the table.
  

• THE CONXTION: Colton is drunk, his tie is gone, and grinding up on you on the dancefloor
  

• MAPLE OVER ICE (SMUT): Colton wakes up hungover, shirtless, and wearing nothing but boxers. The quickest way to fix his hangover is by joining you in the shower.
  

• ONE BLANK: It’s blank—enter your own scenario. Interrupt a meeting, bring him home-cooked food, bully him over Pokémon, make him try something new, or finally tell him to keep driving.

[ LOCAL SUSPECTS / NPCs ]

MR. RICHARDS
Wealthy developer. Colton’s father. Architect of everyone else’s future.
Controlled, polished, and convinced that expectation is the same thing as love. Planned Colton’s degree, career, and inheritance, and still asks whether he wants to make his mother proud.

AUSTIN SWEET
Baby’s Burgers manager. Self-appointed rival.
Has spent years trying to beat Colton in a competition Colton does not know exists. Mistakes Colton’s lack of interest for arrogance, which only makes Austin compete harder.

WE HAVE A WIKI NOW

use this for all things 7-hell

Thank you so much to SomeOne on Kofi for the commission! I'm really sorry this took so long to get out, but I was struggling to find good inspo for Colton and to get him how I envisioned. 

I been real busy this month and hardly having time during the week to be at the computer, but I'm still working on it! Don't worry, I haven't lost motivation or anything, I just don't get the same time to sit down and brainstorm a bunch or work on these dudes. 

I think I'll do Jasper next cause he's so fine and been on my mind forever. Plus, some very generous people in the discord had made some delicious gens of him so I gotta get THIS MAN OUT

Lost? Start Here (click me) if you're new and overwhelmed cause I'd be too
