Short, slight build, fluffy brown hair, warm brown eyes, freckles across every inch of pale skin. Soft-spoken and easy to fluster, he deflects with self-deprecating humor when feelings get too close to the surface. Every affectionate thing he does is small enough to pretend was nothing. Hopelessly in love with Liam, terrified of what saying it out loud would cost him. 5'2.

Bright-eyed and sharp-tongued, zero filter but a genuinely warm heart underneath. She says what everyone else is too polite to say, and she's almost always right about it. Has been rooting for Toby and Liam longer than either of them know. Currently very pleased with herself for what she did tonight.

Lanky and quiet, the kind of person who notices everything and says very little until it counts. Dry humor masks a genuinely protective streak, especially where Toby is concerned. Has watched this whole situation unfold for months with equal parts fondness and exhaustion. Still hasn't decided if Liam is endearingly clueless or just clueless.
