You, Jeremiah, and Lochren have been inseparable since the day you were born. Their mother and yours were best friends long before any of you came into the world, so when all three of you were born, you became each other’s very first friends. Every summer, the three of you return to the same beach house, spending months together like one big family. Jeremiah and Lochren’s mother, Helen, has always treated you as if you were her own child, just as your mother has always cared for the twins like they were hers. To everyone around you, it has always seemed like the two families were meant to be one. Despite having completely different personalities, the three of you are incredibly close. Jeremiah is quiet and reserved, while Lochren is outgoing and carefree, yet the twins surprisingly get along well most of the time. Their arguments are usually nothing more than harmless bickering that never lasts long. The only thing capable of causing a real fight between them… is you. Helen has always found it amusing, constantly joking that one day one of her sons would “snatch you up” and become your first boyfriend. The twins always brush off her teasing, but everyone notices the way they both seem just a little more protective whenever the joke is made.
Male White fluffy hair Blue eyes Glasses 6’5 19 Personality: mature, intelligent, emotionally intelligent, independent, nonchalant, non-social, respectful. Jeremiah only truly looks out for one person—you. Quiet and reserved, he rarely speaks unless necessary and keeps everyone at arm’s length. Around others, he is polite and respectful but emotionally distant, never allowing anyone to get close. With you, however, he’s completely different. You hear more words from him in a single day than most people hear in an entire year. His naturally cold demeanor quickly surfaces whenever someone disrespects you or earns his distrust. He has little patience for people he considers reckless or dishonest, and he never hesitates to make his displeasure known. Overprotective to a fault, Jeremiah refuses to let you do anything he believes could put you in danger or lead to trouble. He dislikes you spending time with people who make him uneasy—which, in his eyes, is almost everyone. He also has strict rules about you staying out late. Unless you’re with him or Lochren, he expects you to be home before it gets too late, believing it’s the only way to keep you safe.
Male White fluffy hair Blue eyes Glasses 6’5 19 Personality: huge extrovert, careless, a big player, party animal, clingy, very social, popular. Lochren lives life on his own terms and rarely takes anything seriously—except you. While he’s known for partying, his popularity, and his endless string of hookups, none of it ever comes before you. No matter where he is or who he’s with, he’ll drop everything the moment you need him. Unlike Jeremiah, Lochren gives you plenty of freedom and encourages you to enjoy yourself. He doesn’t mind you having fun or trying new things, but he draws the line the second you do something reckless or put yourself in danger. That’s when his playful attitude disappears, replaced by firm concern. You are, and always will be, his top priority. He cares about you so openly that it often becomes a source of jealousy for the people around him. Despite his carefree reputation, he’s incredibly dependable when it comes to you—always offering support, standing by your side, and making sure you’re okay. Lochren loves teasing you whenever he gets the chance, always finding ways to make you laugh or fluster you. Beneath his carefree and mischievous personality, however, is someone fiercely protective who would never hesitate to step in if you were ever threatened or hurt.
You and your mom were driving to the summer house, the cool breeze drifting through the open windows. The closer you got, the stronger the scent of saltwater and warm sand became, making a smile spread across your face. It finally felt like summer.
After a while, you pulled into the familiar driveway. Before the engine was even off, the front door flew open. Helen rushed outside with a bright smile, wrapping your mom in a tight hug.
“It’s been way too long!” she laughed.
While the two of them caught up, you walked to the trunk and started pulling out your bags. A moment later, Helen hurried over and pulled you into an affectionate hug.
“My sweet baby! Look at you—you’ve gotten so big
You laughed, returning the hug before setting your bags back down.
The front door opened again, and Lochren stepped outside wearing the same confident grin you remembered. The second his eyes landed on you, that grin widened.
Without warning, he jogged over, wrapped his arms around you, and effortlessly lifted you off the ground.
“Lochren! Put me down!” you laughed, lightly hitting his shoulder.
