Inseperable (An MxM slice of life roleplay)

Two boys were friends from a young age, meeting in elementary school and continuing their education at the same school all the way until graduation. The two were inseparable, nobody else had ever seen the two boys away from each other. One of the boys showed signs of having anxiety, but his parents refused to acknowledge it. The other boy learned how to take care of his friend and how to figure out when he was going to have a panic attack before it happened. As they got older the boy caring for the other starts developing a crush on him, but decides it's best to keep it a secret until their tenth grade year. The caretaker bought tickets for Homecoming for the two of them to go, and was waiting for a perfect moment to confess, right after the school assembly for homecoming. Unfortunately, during the assembly his friend suffers from a major panic attack that gets him sent to the hospital. After that day the boy never shows up for school again, he stays home away from the crowds of people and finishes school through homeschooling. He cuts off ties with everyone, except his friend who forces himself to still be part of his life.

The boy with anxiety learns that most of his anxiety stems from crowds and learns to just avoid going out in public as much as possible. He decides on a career that allows him to continue with that path, writing. He writes books for a living and actually becomes a well known author. He starts making quite a good amount of money with this job, still he finds it better to keep himself hidden and away from as many people as possible. His friend on the other hand starts having issues trying to find a job and having no idea what to do. He refuses to take money from his author friend, so instead the famous author comes up with an idea. The author hires his friend as his caretaker, so his friend goes around town to do the author's grocery shopping, and other errands that need to be done. One day the author's younger sister decides to show up and "cure" her brother of his anxiety. His friend believes that this is just a way for the younger sister to take advantage of the author, but he's getting pushed farther and farther away from the author by the younger sister and can't find any proof that she's only there for the money.

He's extremely pale due to not going outside often, and when he does it's usually at night. The only sunlight he gets is usually when he keeps his curtains open to light up his house to conserve electricity. He's known to not do a whole lot when it comes to looking presentable. He doesn't comb out his hair unless it's really needed. His clothes are usually wrinkled as if he'd just grabbed them from a pile rather than neatly folded. When he stands, or sits he usually slouches making him look smaller than he actually is. He doesn't have much muscle mass anywhere, but he does keep himself healthy at the very least by running on a treadmill in his house. He prefers to wear his black, square framed glasses rather than contacts due to not really enjoying having to put his fingers anywhere near his eyes. There is usually dark bags under his eyes since his sleep schedule is very sporadic and he's been known to stay up for more than 24 hours when given the chance.

||Likes||
Books: If he isn't writing, he's reading. He loves a good book.
Being Read To: For some reason, he enjoys it when other people read to him. It doesn't even have to be fancy with character voices and such.
Cartoons: He enjoys watching anything animated, usually kid's cartoons. He finds them more interesting than television shows aimed at adults.
Sweets: He'll do anything to get his hands on anything sweet. If he could, he'd eat cake and whipped cream every day.
Long Car Rides: He's relaxed by car rides, as long as it's on long stretched of country road. He gets anxious in traffic jams, or even being on a highway.

||Dislikes||
Thunderstorms: They make him incredibly anxious, and he has no control over it.
Crowds: They're noisy, he has no control over the environment, and he very easily gets panic attacks being in one.
Loud People: He doesn't like a whole lot of noise to begin with, but people being loud just gives him a headache.
Being Cold: He hates it when he shakes uncontrollably or his teeth chattering.
Sour Foods: He'll avoid sour things at all costs, it can make him gag just thinking about eating something sour.[/left]

Liam is a quiet person, he's never really been anything but quiet. He doesn't talk to people if he doesn't have to, and chooses to keep himself as far away from everyone as possible. He knows that his anxiety is hard for some people to understand or even deal with, so he just decides it's best for people not to have to deal with him at all. He absolutely adores kids, and teaching them. If he didn't have his anxiety, he probably would have become a teacher for little kids. When he's actually knows a person very well, his personality comes out a lot more. He'll be more playful, teasing his friends or being a little weird. He doesn't generally have a personal boundary with the people he knows well, being very open to leaning on them or hugging them, or falling asleep on them when he's been up for too long.

As a child, he was raised in a fairly decent environment. His family made enough money to support him and his sister, and be able to put money aside for gifts on birthdays and holidays. At school, Liam was quiet and nobody was quite sure why when he acted so differently at home. Teachers would always say that Liam was really shy and just would not talk to anyone, but his parents just ignored the teachers, thinking that there couldn't possibly be something wrong with their child. Liam later met his best friend and just latched onto him. He didn't care what was going on, he always stayed by his best friend's side, because it just made things easier to handle. Later on, it started to become very obvious that Liam had an anxiety disorder he would start to panic over some of the smallest things, like losing homework assignments, or being told that his answer to a question was incorrect. But, once again, his parents refused to believe it.

In middle school, Liam had found that a good solution to getting people to stay away from him was to just read books. If he was doing something, it was more likely that people would leave him alone. He'd read any book he could get his hands onto, no matter what it was. He just avoided any conversations by simply keeping his face in a book. Teachers had learned to just never call on him during class, he would never speak up even when asked a question. There was one time that a teacher had pushed him and refused to let him get away with just being silent, so Liam walked out of the class. Most people thought it had something to do with rebelling against the teacher, but it was just because Liam had been on the verge of a panic attack and had to excuse himself. He was transferred out of that classroom after that day.

High school was a little harder for Liam, especially with the huge crowds of people between class periods that he'd have to walk through just to get to his next class. He'd always prefer to walk outside to get to his next class, just because there were barely any people outside. His school had started to become really strict about attending assemblies, so Liam couldn't just skip them like he had in the past. He could barely stand being at any of them, and finally during the tenth grade homecoming assembly, something pushed him over the edge. Teachers thought he was having a heart attack, and sent the kid to the hospital. The entire assembly was cancelled early, due to this event. After that, Liam refused to go back to school, so his parents set him up on online classes, just so he could at the very least have a full high school diploma. During this time, Liam had found himself with a lot of free time, and started taking up writing just to fill it. He found that he wasn't too bad at it, or at least that's what he was told by his family, so he continued to develop the skill as best he could.

He published his first book when he turned nineteen. His father had set it up for him, getting Liam a good contact with the publishing company and pushing him to do something. His book became very popular, and it gave Liam the chance to move out of his parent's home and into his own home. He now has made a successful book series, that he's still continuing. He's gotten many offers to make the series into a movie, but always declines due to having to deal with people outside of his home or meeting people face to face rather than talking to them over the phone.

I want to play the boy with anxiety/the author
I will warn you all before you get too far, I do prefer romance in my roleplays, sorry, I'm more interested in them.
Be able to give back what I give you, I would like you to be able to post a minimum of two paragraphs. I can post anywhere from three to five. Please be reasonable.
The images used in the gifs does not mean your character has to look like that. You have full control on the looks, personality, and even powers of your character.
I am fine with blood, gore and swearing but I don’t go into detail about sex(this is more about inexperience with writing those scenes than anything else), not saying that it can't happen between our characters.
I don't mind OOC talk so if you are one of those people that like to talk to others outside the roleplay, I'm absolutely fine with that.
I don’t want any love at first sight kind of things going on. Hidden crushes right off the bat can be a thing, but no making out within the first few posts.
So I know you've read all these tell me your favorite color, I will not respond if you do not have this.
Added bonus if you reply with a character sheet already made, it's not a big deal if you don't do this though.
If you have any ideas for the role-play or you want to say “Hey, how about we do this…” Tell me about it, I want this to be fun for both of us. One of my favorite parts of a roleplay is planning things out. And the more drama the better, really.
If there is anything else you want to know please feel free to ask me, I don’t bite.

I'm in college with a part-time job, but I've got three day weekends, and classes that don't take up a whole lot of homework time. I should at the very least be able to post once a week, and I will tell you if I can't post for a while for whatever reason. At the moment I'm on break though, and with my job being on campus I'm free until and will be a lot more free during the summer and should be able to post a lot more than once a week. I've been trying to look for some slice of life roleplays, but that doesn't mean that these can't lead into something with a little more action if that's what my partner wants. If you'd like to just have some simple conversations with me, or do a roleplay not listed, I'm all for that. If you do pitch a roleplay my way, remember my preferences, they are still in affect no matter what. I'm into anything fantasy, sometimes sci-fi, and if you're looking for someone to do fandom roleplays, you can always give it a try. I do play a lot of different video games, read a bunch of different comics, and watch anime/american cartoons/other tv shows. I hope there's something here that caught your attention, if not, thanks for reading through this far anyway.
