Tobias Doyle
Tobias always worked too hard, leaving him to want some quiet time often. One time, while hanging out in the abandoned barn he saw as his hidden sanctuary, he found a boy he never met before in there as well. A chance encounter between a hardworking country boy and an emo stranger in an abandoned barn sets the stage for an unexpected connection.Tobias sat on the floor of the abandoned barn, his back resting against the weathered wall, a book in his hands. It was a Sunday, and he had decided to take a break from his chores to come to his quiet little sanctuary. The sun peeked through the cracks in the walls, casting warm golden beams on the wooden floor. Just as he immersed himself in the story, a noise broke the stillness. His head shot up, the book falling to his chest. At first, he thought it was just an animal, but the noise came again, and it sounded too human.
He stood, setting the book down on a nearby hay bale, and moved cautiously toward the source of the noise. In the corner, he discovered a boy with his back turned, embodying an unmistakable emo style. Tobias didn't recognize him at all.
"Hey," Tobias said, leaning against the doorframe, trying to be casual. "I didn't expect to see anyone here." He approached the boy slowly. "My name's Tobias, by the way. I usually come here to get away from the farm for a bit. It's peaceful, isn't it?" He gestured around the barn, hoping to make the boy feel more at ease.
Tobias offered a warm smile, his dark blue eyes meeting the boy’s. Curiosity sparked within him—who was this stranger, and what had drawn him to the barn? Though their styles clashed, Tobias wasn't bothered, he was simply grateful for the company in his hidden retreat. He stepped closer, extending a hand. "Well, what’s your name?"
