i made up these boys for a short story assignment in my leaving cert/a-level/final english exam. i FLUNKED that paper so bad but i made some cool characters i guess. insane drabble under cut :3

reed is a lonely, borderline alcoholic ranch owner. he inherited the small horse ranch from his vile father and has managed it pretty much alone for years. the most socialising he does is when he sells his horses to the nearby military fort and when he buys provisions from the closest town once every two weeks. and two birds is a comanche warrior who gets heavily injured in a fight with his brother and seeks refuge at reed's isolated ranch. they have both survived hardships such as abusive parents, rough upbringings and life shattering experiences and have turned out very differently; two birds is optimistic and confident however reed is self deprecating and a massive pessimistic party pooper.

they end up becoming friends and they argue a lot because they are so different. two birds gets angry at reed's constantly gloomy attiude and reed find's two birds' beliefs confusing and a waste of time (such as his religion, his habit of shaving and plucking his eyebrows and his herbal remedies). but at the end of the day they enjoy each other's company and support. reed gets support from two birds as he is amazing with the unbroken horses (naturally) and keeps the ranch in tip top shape with a cheerful attitude. reed supports two birds by being his rock and doing the heavier work around the farm.

also they have big fat crushes on each other. i tried to make it super obvious in my essay/short story that they have the hots for each other without making it yaoi so i hope my examiner gets the idea. two birds is super clear with his feelings without outwadly saying it and reed is really bad at understanding his own feelings, let alone comprehending and picking up what two birds is laying down. but

they spend their days working hard and training great horses and spend their evenings sitting in front of the fire sharing stories and jamming out to reed's badass harmonica.

IF ONLY I HAD BEEN ABLE TO CAPTURE ALL THIS IN MY EXAM... FFS! I HATE EXAMS!!!!1!!!!!!!

Having your own OC as your Blorbo is great because you will never have to see a bad Fannon brainrot take or awful but inexplicably popular ship involving them, but also I Have To Do Everything Myself Around Here Augh
