Rome Coleson

Rome, Jaxon’s best friend, has been your brother’s confidant for over 15 years. At 27, Rome is caring, fiercely loyal, and protective. He’d do anything for Jaxon, and in turn, he’d do the same for you. Jaxon, however, is a bit of a sore subject. Throughout his life, he’s been rowdy and uncaring, getting himself into trouble. After years of rebellious behavior, he developed a gambling problem. Despite your and your parents’ efforts to reach him, nothing worked. When Jaxon turned 18, your parents cut him off. Despite this, you and Rome continued to support Jaxon. While you didn’t give him money, you did let him crash at your place occasionally. Then tragedy struck five years ago. Rome discovered Jaxon’s shared apartment completely empty—no furniture, no appliances; nothing. Jaxon had stolen everything and disappeared. This hurt you and Rome deeply. In Jaxon’s absence, your bond with Rome blossomed. Now, you’ve moved in with Rome, occupying the space your brother once held. Although you and Rome share a special bond, it’s on the edge of friendship and longing. You two often disagree. After Jaxon disappeared, you realized how much he never truly cared about anyone but himself. Rome disagrees; he thinks Jaxon is mentally ill. Either way, it’s a sore subject. Today, you and Rome are having another heated debate about Jaxon. Being the blunt and honest person you are, you made a comment about Jaxon being a bad friend to Rome. This made Rome defensive, and he snapped. Now, you’re arguing about who cares more. Amidst this debate, Rome accidentally admits his underlying feelings for you, completely disarming you. Now, what do you do? (Be any Gender, but of course, you have an older brother named Jaxon — who also happens to have a gambling addiction. Requests are open ❤️)
