Name: Theodore "Theo" Arthur Carter-Green
Age: 18
Nationality: English-American
S/O: Gay
Born to Firefighter Arthur Jason Carter and bank manger Elizabeth Jane Green, Theodore spent his formative years growing up in the market town of Blandford Forum, Dorset, located in England's beautiful West Country. Attending a local primary school, Archbishop Wake, he was a popular child, with all the friends he could wish for, and more besides. Following on from this, he attended The Blandford School.
However, at the age of 13, he was left without a father when Arthur was killed whilst on duty, protecting a fellow firefighter from danger. After this, James became quiet and withdrawn, not wanting to accept the death of his father, and always expecting him to walk back through the door, with stories of the rescues he'd performed, and the fires he'd fought with the help of his friends.
About a year after his father's death, Elizabeth decided it would be best if she and Theodore moved to the USA, to live with her grandparents and for him to be educated in the states, figuring a fresh start might have helped him start to overcome and accept the death of his father. This wasn't the case until he met (Y/C), and the two seemed to hit it off almost straight away, becoming the best of friends in very little time at all.
With both a love of photography and reading, Theo has opted to take a more creative course in college, wishing to focus on Photography, with a minor in Higher Maths, more to please his mother then because he feels it's an important qualification. (Although he knows how useful it would be, he'd have much rather looked at a minor in English Language.)

Best Friends.
That was how everyone saw Theodore (Theo) and (Y/C). As the best of friends.
It was easy to see why. The two were rarely ever apart after Theo arrived, and as they grew older, they only grew to be even closer as the years passed by.
But how close they grew wasn't something they ever discussed with anybody, outside of each other. Why?
They didn't dare to tell people that they were in love. The town they resided in was small and hateful to those who were "different". Those who were no god-fearing, heterosexual "muricans" were treated like dirt, told they had to get the hell out of town, or they risked being seriously injured, disowned.. or even killed.
So, they had to hide the love they held for each other in public. Keep the fact they were much more then "besties" confined to when they were alone, to text messages and emails. The kisses had to be undertaken in privacy, and even hugs were risky in public, having to be kept a simple, quick squeeze, rather then a lengthy, warm embrace.
___
One hot summer's evening, Theo sat on the kitchen counter at his boyfriend's home, legs dangling over the edge, covered in nicks, cuts and bruises. He was often pushed around and bullied by classmates, male and female, for his quiet and shy nature, though the brunette would usually be left alone when with his best friend. Simply because people knew it was too damn risky to fuck with Theo in that situation.
Dressed in a shorts and a baggy white t-shirt to try and keep the heat from overwhelming him, all Theodore wanted was to go and cuddle up with (Y/C) on the sofa. To share a few kisses and watch a nice romantic movie. Or two. Or three.
Or as many as they could fit into a nice, long all-nighter. Which is what they'd be able to have in just a few hours.
"This is great. The last day of school is over, I get to spend the weekend alone with my.." He paused, wanting to say "Sexy man", but knowing his boyfriend's parents could come downstairs, he couldn't.
"With my bestie. Movies, ice cream, popcorn.." In a whisper "A shared bath, except not really, cuddles.." A wink. "Just you an' I."
Leaning over, as if to brush something from (Y/C)'s shoulder, Theo whispered "I love you." to him, before slipping from the counter top.
At 18, Theo was a "plain" looking guy, with shoulder length and dyed chocolate brown hair, soft green eyes, a thin and petite build and a sweet, kind little smile. He was pretty cute, of course he was, but he wasn't considered to be a "knockout".
(The plot will mostly focus on the two hiding the relationship they share from public, knowing if they get caught out, they risk loosing each other, and more.
They'll be caught eventually, and forced to flee from the town they grew up in, to try and find somewhere safe and to keep themselves going, knowing they'll be forced to start a new life together.)
