âNeed a massage?â Jenny joked, reaching up to rub his shoulder for a half a second before giving up with a sympathetic pat. âThe crowd was pretty good last night. I didnât think so many people would show up. It was freaking hot.âÂ
Tristan laughed her off, his head shaking at her very brief attempt of a massage, âSuch a great service,â he mused towards her. âTell me about it,â he found himself admitting, âI canât wait for it to cool down in general, but especially for those games. Did you have fun though?â
âAw, hunny.. need a rub down? Canât do it myself, donât want those rumors startinâ up again⌠but I can find someone else. You want to go grab somethinâ to eat though?â
âWhat a tease! Besides, did those rumors ever die? I think they are just holding onto those for a rainy day. But, now Iâm curious who you have in mind. Food sounds better than a rub down if weâre being honest, especially if thereâs bacon involved.â
âWeak!â Francis called out, slurping down an iced mocha latte. Her glittery rings and diamond earrings flashed in the sun and the girl had a pair of Chanel sunglasses perched on her nose. âYou need to bulk up. Build some resistance. No way you make it through the week if you donât.â
âhey now...â tristan trailed, his arms crossing over his chest as he feigned a small frown, âiâve got enough bulk and resistance to last me through the week typically, itâs when you spend most of your saturday evening avoiding or getting tackled that kills your vibe.â
tristan was rarely visible after move-in. between practice and catching up with friends, the college junior was spending any free time he had asleep. finally deciding to dredge himself out from his room in the fraternity house, he jogged outside to catch some of the remaining heat of the limited summer days. he was gazing up at the sun disappearing behind the tall trees when he collided with another body, âshit, iâm sorry,â he found himself sputtering instantly at the collision.Â
âI donât think Iâm going to be able to move for a week after the game last night, I didnât even get up for breakfast this morning, and you know how much I love breakfast, right?â
( josh bowman | male | junior | he/him ) Welcome to New York University, the epicenter for millennials in The City That Never Sleeps. ( TRISTAN KNIGHT ) knows this well. While majoring in ( ELEMENTARY EDUCATION ), ( he ) has rushed to become a ( MEMBER ) at ( PHI MU RHO ). ( HIS ) Greek Row brothers and sisters would describe them as ( CHARMING & WITTY ) on a good day but also sometimes ( HOT-HEADED & CRYPTIC ). When I think of them, I think of ( BONFIRES, GRAVEL ROADS, TRUCK BEDS & AMERICA ). ( football - WR, film club, charity,  lacrosse - captain )
born & raised in a beach town down in south carolina. heâs a southern gent through and through.Â
he has a younger sister whom he is extremely protective over ( * ) and is super close to her.Â
he was part of a military family growing up, and lost his father when he was 15 as he was deployed overseas, it only made his bond between him, his mother and his sister even stronger.Â
tristan enlisted in the military at 17 with hesitant consent from his mother - he wanted nothing more than to follow in his fatherâs footsteps, but she was concerned about his safety. nevertheless, he joined up, passed through boot camp and immediately began his training to become an army ranger.Â
ranger school was hell. he hated it - but loved it - heâs not likely to tell many people about it as itâs really the first and only time he wasnât quite sure he was doing the right thing for his path, so if he shares that with you, youâre special.Â
he had a high school sweetheart that broke his heart when he went into his second deployment. heâs never really gotten over her but wow does he try ( * )Â
he served three tours overseas, each back to back with little to no time back at home which took a toll on his relationship with his family and friends.Â
he was recently put on medical leave from the military because he couldnât pass his last psychological exam - heâs got pretty awful ptsd which leads him to drink more than he should, but again, the ptsd isnât something he shares often!
everyone said heâd never make it in a big city, so he figured heâd prove them wrong and headed to the largest one he knew - nyc.Â
he loves sports, and plays both football and lacrosse.Â
heâs extremely protective over anyone and everyone in his life.Â
he went into elementary education because he thinks kids are the brightest things in the world and he really wants to inspire that. Â
this is shit oops
PLOT WITH ME OKAY!?! IâM REALLY NICE AND I LOVE DRAMA AND ANGST OMG.
