Send me a '★' and I will tell you how my character feels about yours.
Youssef absolutely adores Axel. In fact, he will find every excuse to be near Axel. Even if they are just hanging out and doing absolutely nothing, Youssef very much enjoys these moments alone with Axel.
He also very much has a huge, huge crush on Axel. They have shared kisses and have laid with each other, yes, but Youssef is definitely starting to think of those things as more. But hes a little scared to ask Axel if he feels the same. He's scared that he might not get the answer he wants or that asking might drive Axel away forever.
He wants more and he wants Axel to only look at him, but to be safe, he will opt to not say anything at all for now.
🍉 - What is something they have done that they feel the most guilt over? How do they handle this guilt? Does the guilt ever get resolved?
There was a time where Youssef was bitterly envious of his older brothers. Amir, the eldest, has always been incredibly good at all facets of business be it financial or logistically. He's quite gifted at building interpersonal relations with people, even the ones he couldnt stand. His middle brother, Kassim, is gifted in the medical field. He excels at the art of caregiving, sensing the nuances and changes in someone's physical and mental health. He's also very good at dealing with all sorts of people.
Youssef hated his brothers for being so good at everything. He felt himself being left behind. Even now he feels incredibly inferior to his brothers. He has no talents, no skills... Not particularly good or bad at anything. His brothers have tried to console Youssef before, telling him that he's not as worthless as he seems to think but to no avail. Youssef continues to drown his negative thoughts in excessive indulgence in his own pleasures. He lives his life freely, recklessly because there was no point in acting as if he was anything more than the odd man out in his family, much to his parents' dismay.
Now instead of wasting his time hating his brothers, he'd much rather just spend all his parent's money on things that make him happy enough to forget everything, even for a moment.
🍌 - Who is someone that makes them feel uncomfortable? How do they handle interactions with this person? What is the source of the discomfort?
Youssef is mostly made uncomfortable by his brothers, even though the two of them don't do it intentionally. He feels stifled when they're all in the same room. He'll do anything to cut the visits to his parents' house short if they are all there. This ties back into his feeling insignificant when sat beside his brothers and their seemingly boundless perfection.
🍎 - What is a hobby or interest that they would be distressed over losing access to? I.e a dancer who breaks their leg for months, etc. How would they cope?
Since Youssef has an never ending supply of money to blow through whenever he wants (within reason), if he ever lost access to his credit cards, he'd be a wreck. He's so used to spending money on whatever makes him happy in that moment that if he lost that liberty he probably wouldn't be able to function. He is very much accustomed to throwing money at all his problems. Im not sure he would be able to cope if his parents cut him off because he's been reliant on their allowance for so long.
