I was semi-away from E for a while, but I'm back with a creative vengeance now. Interested in doing a scene with some Ramon and Marc interaction?

I admit I've been glancing at Ramon's sheet every so often these past few days. I feel like the challenge is that a lot of the substantial possibilities for backstory require mutual connections that either don't yet exist or have yet to be established. Like, it's very possible Marc was a friend of a bully, in which case he was, depending on the moment, just as likely to join in as he was to sit back and watch, laughing his ass off, at the bully's expense, when Ramon turned the tables. At the same time, I could see him having tried to befriend Ramon if he thought it would give him a better chance with one of Ramon's girl friends, or if a girl he was dating at the time basically challenged him to it.<br/><br/>Marc would have been open to exploring his own sexuality in high school in secret, but even if Ramon would have been interested, ehhh...I imagine Marc would have expected Ramon to kick down the closet door any minute. :P It doesn't inspire trust, especially if the bully connection existed. Maybe a mistake could have been made, something spur of the moment or a miscalculation.<br/><br/>Maybe there could have been a friendship when they were kids, due to being in the same class or maybe living in the same area, and it could have drifted when the convenience was no longer there, or because they became too different, or because the other boys started looking at Ramon funny.<br/><br/>Just spitballs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
