who are the five most important people to ian right now? why? and do you think they know they're the most important to him?
There's a lot of people that are important in Ian's life but to narrow it down to five would be:
Bo Turner ( @urdamage ) goes without saying. The man is Ian's fiancé and Ian's very first and longest best friend. Bo just gets Ian in a way that other people have never been able to and the love that Bo shows to him on a seemingly hourly basis is unmatched to anything Ian has ever experienced. Due to everything the couple has been through and their present status Ian is sure that Bo knows how important he is to him and if he didn't Ian would be quick to show his appreciation.
Finn Dunne ( @highfears ) is another one of Ian's best friends. The two have been close since high school and he is someone who also balances Ian out in their own different way. It's true that Ian is drawn to opposites of him and Finn is certainly a different breed of person than Ian. Ian knows that Finn is someone he can turn to and often ask for advice about things and is sure that Finn knows that he's important in Ian's life. After all Ian has been asked to be Finn's best man in his wedding and that's a status that isn't just handed out to anyone.
Dolly Jensen ( @finaldarlings ) was Ian's first love and while he no longer has romantic feelings for her there is still a platonic love that he feels towards her. She's always been a caring and loving force in Ian's life and he knows that his life is made better with her in it. Ian opened up to her about a lot in the past and that is another person Ian knows he can talk to who might not offer him advice but the care that he might be seeking. Ian is sure that Dolly knows that she's important to Ian because she was one of the first to show up for him when he was at the hospital and Ian was also quick to be at her aid when she came in contact with the killers herself.
Leaf Wozniak and Ian have a complicated past. They briefly had a romantic relationship that was prematurely cut short and left Ian thinking quite a few "what if's" towards them. They've moved past those complicated feelings now and Ian considers Leaf to be one of his closest friends. Leaf has always followed the beat of their own drum and Ian is quite impressed by that when it comes to Leaf. Leaf has a large heart and is someone who Ian can depend upon and has always accepted him with open arms if needed. Ian isn't sure if Leaf knows just how important they are to him but he hopes that through their continued friendship that they see it.
Romy Davis ( @fearsless ) has been a big part of Ian's life since high school. Being accepted into Romy's D&D group back as a freshmen was one of the first times Ian really felt accepted by a group and found people like himself to really relate to. Romy has helped orchestrate a lot of very fun times in Ian's life and is one of the most creative and cool people Ian knows. Even though the D&D group hardly meets up anymore Ian is still fortunate to have his friendship with Romy. Ian thinks that Romy knows that they're important in Ian's life because Ian had sought out their help in his proposal to Bo and only the closest to him were involved in something so important though their continued friendship into adulthood is also an obvious indicator.
