02. information
i will write a proper bio at some point, just need to work on some details
tw abandonment born to a single mother who was far too young to know how to raise a child. she ends up leaving when colin is just eight months, leaving him under the care of his grandmother.
his grandmother adored him but unfortunately she wasn’t in the best health and the government decides she’s not suitable to adopt and raise him, so he’s placed with a foster family.
he’s one of the lucky ones. his foster family allows to spend the weekends with his grandmother and truly treat him like their own child. his foster father, a history teacher is the person that shows him how fascinating history can be while his foster mom teaches him about photography.
unfortunately, this idyllic life only lasts for a few years as their family grew and the system decided it was time for colin to move on. however, the family decides to adopt him but just before the adoption is finalized, his mother comes back and claims she is ready to be a mother.
the government, of course, gives his mother the custody as she proved she was really in a better place to raise her child.
he’s nine years old and forced to live with a woman that claims to be his mother but he doesn’t know anything about her or about her new stepfather.
his new stepfather while a kind man has a different idea of what colin should be doing. he pretty much thinks his stepson has the perfect build to become an athlete and disapproves anything that doesn’t have to do with sports.
by the time he was twelve, colin played three sports full time and when his stepfather wasn't coaching him from the sidelines he basked in the glory of his star.
as the stakes grew, so did his stepfather’s involvement. he would scream at colin from the bench. he would pull him out of games for mistakes. he would scold that a double would have been a triple if only his son had worked harder in practice.
his stepfather really destroyed all his self-confidence, and colin entered his teenage years feeling like was not enough. he had the looks, the physique but not the confidence or the ego.
by the time colin was in his freshman year of high school, the injuries and over-exertion finally caught up with him. his body began to hurt and never stopped hurting. the pain struck his knees, then smothered his back, then finished his father’s dreams
tw death during his sophmore year of high school, his stepfather suffered a fatal heart attack. colin was devastated but also felt relief because finally he could stop playing injured and the maybe could live without pain.
but the emotional pain continued and shortly after his mother went down a spiral that forced him to back to the system. this time he was placed with a family in wales.
colin really didn’t have plans to go to college, his stepfather had filled his brain with the idea that without sports he was nothing but his foster family encouraged him to attend the same university as their daughter.
he rejected the idea and after he turned 18, he remained in wales but move out of the foster family house, even if he tried to visit once a week.
colin got a job as a security guard and he worked the for three years before quitting and agreeing to go into this two year university their foster parents told him about.
he started a year ago, majoring in history.
03. current plots
formely catfished santos whitney
adoptive brother of carys berry
best friends with #43
04. wanted plots
crush: although it might not look like, colin is very shy so it wouldn’t surprise me if he had feelings for this person but wouldn’t do anything about it because he’s afraid of being rejected, so he just admires them from afar.
bad influence: colin tends to follow the rules and any kind of plan that disturbs that makes him feel uneasy but this person has managed to convince to get out of his comfort zone.
friends with lingering feelings: self explanatory, friends where either one or both have some kind of romantic feelings that pass more than just friends. now things between them are getting back to normal but they can't help but wonder about what-ifs.
frenemies: overall, they are nice to each other but sometimes there's always some subtle bickering between them. their relationship is very complicated, one day they could be best friends and the next one they could be plotting the other's murder. it's not the healthiest of friendship, but somehow they cannot give it up.
unlikely friends: when people see these two they can't help but to scratch their heads and wonder how the hell these two became friends? their personalities are like oil and water but somehow they've overcame that and they get along very nicely.
rivals: it's not a secret that colin always wants to be the smartest, but this person is always getting in the way of him receiving all the glory. while he doesn't hate them, he could do without them.
ex: we can plot if they ended in good or bad terms.
one night stand: pretty straight forward. could have been a in the moment thing, alcohol could have been involved. they could either be acting as if it didn’t happen, or completely awkward around each other because of it.
“Is that so? So it’s pretty much even.” She replied with a laugh. “I’m a bit afraid some of them might be a bit childish, but I am excited to share them with you.” She stated as she admired the way he took interested in her work. As they pulled away the familiar butterflies Fable had on their first date seemed to return. She was dreaming she was sure of it. “I believe that is fair. I think I have something of my own to tell you as well.” She whispered biting her lip gently. “I’ll let you go first.”
“We never said what would you get if I lose,” he pointed with a smile. “I want to know what teenage Fable was thinking, I want to know everything about you.” He really meant that, he was committed to get to know Fable and fall even more in love with her. His stomach sunk when she said she also had something to say, he couldn’t even think what could it be. Colin took a deep breath, taking a step back as he looked at his hands nervously. “A few months ago, I kissed someone at a party, well, not someone, Aria.” He looked at her, unsure of what to expect. “I swear I didn’t mean anything.”
“I did. I came prepared to lose.” She replied as she leaned into his hand as he brushed her hair from her face. “Of course I will be glad to tell you the story behind it.” She responded with a smile. Regardless of who lost she wanted to share a part of her with him anyway, no matter if it would cause her face to flush from him reading her inner thoughts as a teen in high school. “I believe I would that.” She whispered as another giggle fell from her lips. “He should know I’m quite lucky as well. He happens to be extraordinary himself.” She stated as she rested on the tips of her toes slightly their foreheads pressed together as he cupped her face kissing her softly. Kissing him back she felt this moment should never draw to an end her hand playing with the hair on the nape of his neck.
“If it makes you feel any better, you make me blush just as much.” He smiled, gazing into her eyes. “I can’t wait to read them. I’m sure you’re amazing.” Colin knew that she was talented and he wanted nothing more but to enjoy her talent. He could have sworn that his heart stopped when she agreed, that old fluttering feeling coming back as she kissed him back. Everything about this moment just felt right, he deepened the kiss, arms wrapping around her waist. As he pulled apart, he knew that if they were going to be serious he needed to come clean with some stuff. “Uh, I really want to start this relationship being completely honest with you. There’s something I have to tell you.”
“I would lose so easily. You know me so well. I might as well hand one over now.” The shorter brunette joked back as she gazed up after having hid her face. “I wouldn’t mind being that kind of couple with you. I don’t think I would mind being a couple with you at all.” She reassured him as the arms that was laced around him slipped away from his waist as she turned to stand in front of him. “Others?” She hummed softly. “I only see one I am particularly fond of and I believe he’s right here in front of me.” She replied as she took wrapped her arms around his neck swaying softly.
“Did you bring one with you? Because I will not only need to read it but I need the story,” he pointed out with a laugh, hand reaching out to brush a hair from her face. Her reassurance was enough to make him lose the bet. He looked away, but the smile on his face gave away how glad he was feeling. “Does that mean you want to, uh, be my girlfriend?” He felt so silly asking this as if he was a teenager. “Well, that’s one lucky guy then because you’re amazing.” He laughed before leaning in, their foreheads touching as one hand moved to cup her face, not hesitating to kiss her softly.
“If I blush I lose the bet myself.” Fable spoke in turn as she continue to glance up at him a laugh leaving her lips only moments before she would have actually lost the bet. “I couldn’t resist. I can’t wait for us to try them all together.” She replied excitedly as she buried her face in his side knowing fully well he caught her red handed. “Steal me away prince charming. I have cleared my schedule for the whole day.”
“So you don’t want to lose this fast because I could make you lose right now and then I could read one of those poems you told me,” he said jokingly, a laugh escaping past his lips. “Are we gonna be one of those cheesy couples with matching shirts? Because I’m in.” For a second panic filled him for they hadn’t really used the word ‘couple’ and while Colin felt absolutely sure of his feelings for Fable, he still felt nervous about labelling their relationship. “Are you sure your other suitors won’t mind?”
Fable felt herself smile up at the taller brunette and leaned into his side. The time she had spent with him was some of the most amazing times she felt like she had on her time on the seas. “Don’t make me blush.” She stated with a slight giggle leaving her lips. “Isn’t it? I’m glad we get to go around together to enjoy it.” She replied as she leaned up to kiss his cheek. Mexico was on her list of places she wanted to see and it had proven to be one of the best so far. “It was nice. I have our t-shirts back on board. I can’t want to give you yours.” She said a slight blush creeping on her cheeks.
“But I want you to blush!” he said with a chuckle. “Is the bet still on?” It took everything in him not to blush when she kissed his cheek but he couldn’t lose the bet this early. “I can’t wait to see it. I’m sure they are great, thanks for getting them.” His smile never fading and while he noticed the slight blush on her cheeks, he didn’t say anything this time. “I’m glad you had fun with Sierra but if you don’t mind, I’d like to steal you all day today.”
this already strange and awkward enough for her to be standing right beside him when she’s feeling all these emotions she shouldn’t . zara thinks what he did is unfair . leaving her in the dark , wondering what happened , where it went wrong , why all of a sudden when they were just doing good . was it all one sided then ? she feels so stupid for believing his sweet words when in the end , he’ll only take it away with him when he decided never to see her again . zara was slowly doing fine , meeting new people , hanging out with friends , having fun . then this . she doesn’t want to talk to him any longer knowing she’s feeling a lot right now . it’s dangerous . instead , she glances over at the counter and sighs . ❛ when’s our drinks coming ? can you follow it up ? ❜ she asks , glancing back to meet his gaze . ❛ that’s great for you . i’m really happy to hear that . ❜
“Sure, I will,” he says, not gathering enough nerve to put on a smile. He went over the counter and after a few minutes he comes back with two drinks. “Here you go.” He hands her the drink and that could have been it. She would go her own way and they would have survived past the awkwardness, hoping to never repeat this encounter but for some reason that wasn’t good enough for Colin. He’d ignored the big elephant in the room but he knows he can’t go around the ship avoiding Zara in order to not go through this conversation. “I’m sorry for what happened between us,” he says and he knows he probably owes her more than an ‘I’m sorry’ but right now it’s the only thing he can say, and he doesn’t even know if she’d be willing to listen.
Fable stopped in her tracks as took her time to take in her surroundings and breathing the air in. It was breathtaking, and there seemed to never be a word better to described how this shared moment with him felt. Having the slight wind run through her hair she glanced her eyes up at the taller brunettes her arm wounded around his waist out of habit. “Could we have picked a more perfect place?” She asked with a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
@colinohen
With his arm around her shoulder, Colin felt as if he’d won the lottery. There was really nothing he enjoyed more than spending time with Fable, especially in a place like this one. “Any place with you is perfect,” he said, smiling down at her. “But I do have to admit this place is beautiful.” One of the places he was excited about visiting was Mexico, so this only made it better. “How was your day with Sierra?”
Fable: My door will always be open for you. I'm just next door. You don't have any idea how happy that makes me. Next time we dock I'm getting t-shirts made so I can walk around advertising I'm your biggest fan. I certainly will. I don't want to be stuck with anyone else either. Time is key handsome.
Fable: I can do that, as well give you new poetry I would have wrote.
Fable: The day I assumed you were going to buy my food and you did. I believe that was the day I felt I had to get to know you. You weren't just this attractive guy, you were easy to talk to, and I knew just from that moment you were the guy I wanted to take all my chances with.
Colin: Next door and it still feel so far. I'm gonna need one too just to tell everyone how much i admire you. Time is really key and I'm planning to spend a lot of time with you.
Colin: You've written something new? I can't wait to read it
Colin: I gotta admit that was not my intention but then I said 'why would I waste the chance to buy food to this beautiful girl?' I felt the same way, I remember thinking how I've never met anyone like you, as smart and beautiful.
