all of the "emotional" ones for thomas please ;)
Tell us about an emotional experience they’ve had, and the circumstances involved. Anger? Happiness? Sorrow? Guilt? Despair? Boredom? Pride? ( Asker picks! )
Thomas' dad died when he was too small to really remember him, and his mother remarried when he was about eight years old. For the first few years he really gave his step father a hard time, up until about thirteen or fourteen years old. His step father was just a really different person from him or his mother and he didn't both much to try and understand where he was coming from since he was a kid. He was also just sort of generally angry about not being able to know his dad with his step dad being the easiest target. Eventually though they developed a great and very close relationship. Whenever Thomas thinks about his life at that time he ends up feeling guilty for being so shitty to him.
Do they suffer from any emotional issues like depression or anxiety?
No, but he does tend to overthink and get caught up in his own head.
Have they ever been in love?
Yes, he is right now! Other than Arran though he has been in love before, most notably his college girlfriend Gwen. They only really broke up because they moved to different ends of the country and they're still friends to this day. He even flew over to the west coast to attend her wedding.
What does ‘love’ mean to them?
Love means partnership. Standing by each other and supporting each other and enjoying whatever time together you have. You make the choice to love the other person every day, no matter how easy or hard they make it (Something his step dad told him as a teenager that really stuck with him).
How are they at expressing emotions to others? Do they wear their heart on their sleeve, or try to hide their emotions?
He mostly wears his heart on his sleeve, but he tries to be cool about him. People generally know how Thomas feels about them, good or bad, but he works to try and keep from smothering people especially when he likes them a lot. He's gotta keep up that chill vibe.
When was the last time they cried? Why?The last time Thomas cried was when her and Arran watched Titanic together one Friday night. That movies always gets him (and Arran will always tease him about it).
When was the last time they laughed? Why?
I'm pretty sure Thomas laughs just about everyday. He was probably talking with a friend reminiscing about things they did when they were younger or joking around with Arran or playing with one of his nieces and nephews.
Have they ever had their heart broken? What happened?
His heart was definitely broken when his mother died. She'd been ill for a bit, but it was still sudden and he wasn't in town when it happened. It hit him really hard and it took him a long time to bounce back.
