hand over the detes abt vito's college years my liege 🔫🔫🔫

on it boss >:) for the people who missed it, here is the original post and here is the first ask i answered about it!

warnings >> alcohol, drugs, nsfw, smoking mention, transphobia mention

when vitali starts college he's moved out of the house and most of his childhood he kinda felt trapped, which is basically what his entire college experience is centered around LMAO because now that he's no longer stuck at home he can do. whatever he wants. and he goes a little bit far in that sometimes!!!

vitali's first year is centered around him going to. so many parties. and he just works his way through so so so many guys LMFAO it's mostly one night stands and those who DO stay longer are all. not very good </3 his first boyfriend (at college. he's had more in the past. yeah LMAO) was a cunt who ended up stealing and breaking his phone (which is how vitali lost contact with mikhail. yea. good times. no vitali never finds out about it. haha xoxo) and his second boyfriend is nick. there's a lot going on there bear with me

so vitali and nick meet at the start of the year already but so far they've only danced together at parties or just. seen each other at school. vitali IS interested in him though because nick is. well. pretty and handsome. but also he kinda seems like a bit of a douchebag and it turns out he is a huge fucking cunt so yeah that's great <3 they get together after vitali loses contact with mikhail and at first it all goes well but they kinda make each other worse ://

nick basically just wants to bang all the time and vitali is fine with that but it's not. good for him since it's kinda become an addiction at that point </3 their relationship is closed and vitali gets very restless which makes nick Panik and chase the one thing he knows vitali likes (le sex) even MORE than he already was and. well. it's an endless cycle as you can see. they start having insanely petty arguments to the point it reminds vitali of his parents and he breaks up with nick

soon after that vitali picks up sex work because he is desperately in need of money (he left home so he lost his safety net. wink wink reference in the first broker chapter wink wink) and well. he's doing the work already anyway but for Free so might as well start charging people money for it LMFAO but then nick comes crawling back and he's very hostile towards vitali still?? even though vitali left that part of their relationship behind him so he's a bit pissed about that. starts charging nick money too hoping it will scare him away but nick is a stubborn bitch and keeps coming back smh

then. third boyfriend. he's a sweetheart but vitali is just kinda using him to forget nick :// of course nick catches wind of this and will forever hold it against vitali and the boyfriend's friends ALSO catch wind of it and vitali kind of ends up in a physical fight which he loses </3 but he's fine with it because he feels like he deserved that

and that's just his first year <3 HGFDHGJFDG during his summer vacation he goes on vacation with some random people who invited him and it's just. a month of him continuously getting high and drunk to try and forget about mikhail :( he feels horrible for making mistake after mistake but at the same time just keeps making them. which makes him feel worse which makes him make more mistakes and so on you know how it goes

the one good thing to come out of the vacation is that he ends up with two boyfriends!! they're all dating each other and it's actually a very nice and stable relationship, they're a bit inexperienced with trans bodies but are more than willing to learn so everything is looking good for vitali for a while :) until during the start of year 2 nick comes back again and gets into a fight with vitali and he tells him he's just using his boyfriends as distraction like he did before. it's not the case but vitali feels so bad about it that he breaks up with them because he believes they deserve better than him :| i'm killing nick rn

and then vitali has top surgery <3 stays with jackie for a bit and up to that point jackie HAS in fact showed his face at some parties on occasion despite not going to that school and he and vitali HAVE made out on occasion. but vitali wants to stop doing that because he doesn't want jackie to end up like either mikhail or nick :(( but they do remain friends so that's good :)

i won't go into great detail for the remainder of the years but long story short: continuous ups and downs and most of the downs are because of nick. he does actually become nice for a little bit on occasions (after vitali's top surgery and after his leg surgery) but he mostly just keeps coming back with trouble and vitali keeps spiraling as a result

vitali joins a book club at some point! it goes pretty well for him until he starts dating one of the guys and he turns out to be a transphobe and after that, even though the club throws the guy out and is supportive of vitali he decides to leave anyway because it just doesn't feel right anymore :// after that there's one more guy he starts dating but the guy is a massive dick so it. doesn't last long LMFAO

and then in vitali's fourth year nick has an internship for the first semester and he didn't tell vitali about it :/ which causes vitali to just cut him out of his life because he's been looking for an opportunity to do either that OR fix their relationship because, as i said in the other ask, vitali really just. wants to fix things if they can still be fixed. and he believes a lot of things are still fixable, but it doesn't really work out if he's the only one pulling his weight in it all :(

vitali's wild party life has also been moving with his ups and downs. he stopped doing drugs pretty early on but kept drinking and eventually picked up smoking again after his leg surgery in year 3 (but the fake cigs then of course LOL) and he kept going to parties. kept getting into fights. sometimes more and sometimes less but it's always just kinda Been There

but after his breakdown in year 4 he doesn't do that shit anymore <3 becomes a lot more serious and focused on finishing school because he wants to do things RIGHT this time, and it's a bit weird for nick when he comes back and vitali suddenly has short hair and barely speaks to him anymore but. it's probably for the better

tl;dr vitali's college life was very busy and filled with people but at the end of it all he's still just. alone. jackie was kinda sorta there all along but other than that, everyone he cared about in college isn't there anymore :/ it's kinda sad to think about the fact vitali is terrified of ending up alone but at the same time HE is the one to walk away in most situations because he believes the other people deserve better. shaking him

and all of this ties in with the other ask i answered, because this is just to like. show how unbalanced vitali's life was during those years LMAO it was all going very fast and he was secretly struggling to keep up with it all, but mostly because he was just. doing so many things all the time. but he felt like he had missed out before and now just really wanted to catch up. and in all of that he kinda lost himself a little bit :(

i have more details because i wrote a whole timeline but i just wanted to grab the most important stuff from that to spare you all the 4k words version SHFDJGHJ but yeah that's vitali's college years!! stark contrast with how he is now which makes everything in the broker chapter even more :)))) hahaha :)))))) it's all really just about anger and control huh. anyway <3
