Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Ā Ā RIGHT Ā ā¦ Ā whatāre Ā yāhavinā Ā ? Ā Ā ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā eyes once over , palms flat on the barās counter Ā Ā āā Ā light click of the tongue as jakubās brow quirks, Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā Ā Ā anā iāll take a look at yāID while iām at it. Ā Ā ā
Jude sighed melodramatically, handing over his ID. Do you have strawberry kiwi or am I still stuck with orange? A raised brow and an upturned corner of his mouth conveyed amusement, his shoulders shaking ever so slightly.Ā
Brows furrowing in confusion, Lucas glanced between the boy and the phone, curious as to the sudden change. āYes?ā Drawing out the word, he allowed himself a couple moments of stupefied confusion before replacing it with a snarky grin. Might as well just go along with it. āThanks. You know, thatās the sweetest thing Iāve heard all day. What a charmer, you are. Do you insult every new person you meet, or am I just special?ā
Judeās perception might not be the best, but the otherās change in expressions wasnāt lost on him. It was...amusing, to say the least.Ā Itās only as insulting as you take it to be. Iām just being honest. Jude was rarely outright rude. He tended to find ways around it, ways to get his...less than stellar...opinions across while still giving himself a decent amount of plausible deniability. What can I say? Charm is my strong point.
Glancing up at the person talking at him, Lucas sighed, reluctantly putting down the book he had been avidly reading before addressing his new companion. āFirst of all: Iām not sure weather or not you actually meant to talk to me, but you should really chill it with the idle chat, snowflake.ā
Bitch. The sign was quick, punctuated with a furrowed brow and rolled eyes. Still, despite his flaring annoyance, he fell silent. Snowflake? His phone read aloud, the words choppy and awkward, not too unlike the way his own words would probably sound, if he could just get them to work. I wasnāt aware people used that term outside of the internet. It makes you sound obnoxious.
judeās actually the younger of two. heās a twin. his brother maddox was born eight and a half minutes before him, and for all intents and purposes was very much the moreĀ āactiveā twin.
jude was theĀ āpassiveā twin, softer spoken & more likely to go along with whatever maddox wanted than to voice his own opinion
he wasnāt a favorite at home, thatās for sure. randall wasnāt particularly fond of either twin, but he was shorter with jude.
jude has a speech impediment, has since he was young. growing up on the isle, itās not like thereās much in the way of corrective therapy or anything.Ā
he learned to cover it by just. not talking. which ticked his dad off almost as much as when he did speak. at home, it seemed jude couldnāt win for losing.
still, he had bright spots. he had friends, who didnāt much mind that he was a bit...different. he was enamored with photography, decided from a young age if he could ever get off the Isle that thatās what heād do. despite his suffocating homelife and penchant for silence, he was very much his own person.Ā
as he and maddox got older, he slowly learned to sayĀ ānoā more often. heās scared of heights, the dark, small spaces, and he wasnāt going to let maddox goad him into checking something out if he didnāt want to.Ā
life on the isle wasnāt easy, but jude would have said he was happy enough
and then of course things went to shit just a lil bc im mean
when jude & maddox were 14, maddox was killed in an accident. donāt ask jude about it. do not.
that,,,, definitely threw jude off for a while. that was his brother, one person he never thought heād have to live without. his brother had his own hopes & dreams & a future and now it was,,, gone.Ā
heās. mostly okay now. he still has his moments, for sure, because his brother isnāt just going to fade entirely from memory. but in six years heās had time to cope, time to mostly come to terms with everything.Ā
he didnāt hesitate to come to auradon when invited, jumping at the chance and not even bothering to see if his father would follow. he doesnāt care. the two of them still donāt have the best relationship, but jude can at least act like it doesnāt bother him. but he does still carry a few telltale signs. he canāt deal with shouting, and he clams up in new situations or simply when heās just uncomfortable.
heās selectively mute, due to a number of factors. around friends, in private, heās got no problem talking. in any situation where he can communicate nonverbally, heās,,,, expressive. but in large crowds, in loud situations, or in completely new situations, he goes silent. heād like to be able to say something, he would, but for the most part he settles for typing entirely too quickly on his phone.Ā
also heās trans. and gay. and heās 5ā²6 and i love him.
aLSO he inherited his fatherās camouflage ability, and has definitely used it to get out of awkward situations before. where did jude go idk he was leaning against this wall and now the wall is lumpy who knowsĀ
