in true ezra virani nature, rather than continuing his venture around the villa, he’s behind the counter, hands busy mixing a variety of drinks. a true workaholic in his prime. pouring the remainder of the mixed drink into the glass, he sets it down, smiling to himself in satisfaction. “ pick your poison, ” he presents, stifling a soft laugh after barely realizing that he might’ve gone overboard. still, he hopes the person before him ( and the others ) appreciate the effort. “ and if you want something without all the alcohol, let me know. not to brag, but — ” his shoulders shrug, “ i make a killer fruit smoothie. ”
⠀⠀⠀ with a tour of the villa ticked off his bucket list , the young athlete soon finds himself perched upon the swing seat — round , tinted glasses canopying dark hues and his skin positively sparkling under the hot , fervent sun . he could get used to this , such magnificent grandeur and oh , have we spoken about the men ?? the hot , hot men ?? striding around the place ?? completely shirtless , no less ?? god , what perfect nirvana ?? please , if he is sleeping , don’t wake him from his blessed slumber . on the topic of men , one so happens to grace his shaded peripheral . gorgeous , of course , but what else could you expect when your new housemates are actual greek gods ?? ❝ hey !! ❞ bes calls aloud , hoping to garner the other’s attention , though , his ego tells him that he’ll have no trouble in that department . ❝ fancy some company ?? ❞
an eyebrow raises towards the source of the call — causing him to do a double take. truthfully, he’s still in the process of... well, processing everything. still, as long as he reminds himself to think of it as a really long and much needed vacation ( per his grandmother’s words ), it wouldn’t be so bad. besides, it did feel nice waking up in the morning without having to worry about mundane paperwork. after turning to the source, an eyebrow quirks at the sight of the other, who seemed comfortably settled on the nearby swing seat. “ hey, ” ezra calls back, the corner of his lips tugging up to a small, yet warm smile. with one look, it became obvious to him that god really does play favorites. because this man ? a clear winner of the genetic lottery, hands down. slipping a hand into the pocket of his board shorts, he raises his sunglasses until it sits on top of his head, heading towards their direction before stopping at the empty spot beside them. “ mind if i sit here ? ”
hey, everyone ! i’m jc, and i might have wasted my time and money playing love island on my phone but it’s fine. everything’s fine. <3 but anyway, you’ll find more info on ezra under the cut !

ezra was raised by his grandparents. parents had him young; father was out of the picture before he was born, and his mother was battling personal demons that resulted to her taking her life. nevertheless, his grandparents gave him the best life. and to this day, he owes them everything.
remember when everyone had an emo phase ? yeah, ezra had one too. he and his high school friends decided to start a band one day, during a 2 am basement discussions, my chemical romance’s helena blasting through the speakers. soon enough, thieves was born. taking inspiration from their favorite bands, their sound reminded everyone of what punk rock was all about. ezra dropped out of his senior year in high school to take this leap of faith and pursue this music thing.
their song went viral one day, and thieves became a well-known group around the world. at one point, they were a part of the infamous warped tour.
they were living the dream. but that call came crashing down when ezra got a phone call in the middle of the night from one of his band mates and best friends that their drummer, had been in an accident and passed.
and that was the end of the band. ezra decided to take an indefinite hiatus to figure himself out, stay out of the limelight, lay low for a while.
he opened up his own bar in his hometown and business has been great. but his grandparents are getting worried that he’s becoming too focused on work that he’s missing out on life. so they begged him to join love island ( it’s their favorite show to watch every night ) LMAO. he’s confident that the producers wanted him for publicity since he’s a washed up musician BUT he’s using it as an opportunity to get out of his comfort zone and make his grandparents happy.
