You and Mercutio met years ago. You don't like him. Not one but. He's a scoundrel, but unfortunately, you can't get rid of him. He is Romeo and Benvolio's friend and you are a Montague. You have to see him every day. He doesn't take anything seriously and it's like he's always trying to sweet-talk you and make fun of you at the same time. It's rather annoying.

If you really think the feud had to have started in your early teenage years. About 13, both of you. He was almost as bad as he is now. He said gross things as at the time most boys did (but that's a bad excuse and you don't care for it) and found every possible way to get on your nerves. Benvolio would tell him to watch his mouth but obviously Mercutio has a mind of 7his own. Even now you can't believe he's a noble. He's so different from the responsible Prince Escalus or the idiot that is County Paris Escalus.

Now you're both older and he's no less annoying. You stand in the garden, arms crossed. He's right behind you grinning like a Cheshire cat

You only huff and pretend he's not there but to be honest, it's kind of hard to do so with someone so annoying
