ALL IS LOST, HOPE REMAINS

[moo]

ryan's the shy twenty seven year old guy in the corner with the hard past. he's not much of a joiner, and he's got a terrible stutter. he's incredibly naive when it comes to sexual matters, seeing as he's never even had his first kiss. he adores kids, and he hopes to be able to adopt one day. if you ever take the time to get to know him, he's extremely sweet, empathetic, and caring. he'll take time out of his own busy schedule to visit you when you're sick, and he loves nothing more than to care for others. he's gonna need some friends to draw him out of his shell a little, maybe even corrupt him a bit. enemies would be the ones who think he's a pussy and get annoyed with his stuttering and overall frightened-kitten attitude. lovers are taken!

Alright, so rather than pming you, I think I'm just gonna post here... Because I feel like it? : D?
Anyway...

Toby&Ryan
I honestly don't have much (or really any) of a plot in mind, but I do see them being very good friends (and obviously not lovers because both of our guys have guys and Toby's two shots away from being considered asexual anyway). It seems like they both had rough childhoods and Toby would sympathize with him for that. Though he is more outgoing than Ryan, Toby doesn't really like to make waves, so if he tried to draw him out of his shell it would be a very slow and drawn out process (but could still potentially happen).
What I do see with them is a lot of 'safety.' They'd each have the other to talk to about whatever was bothering them, or someone to ask before they made stupid decisions.
So. Yeah. Not much of an actual plot, but somewhere in that ramble was an ider. Feel free to add/change/reject/whatever. xD

that works out really well! especially because ryan basically IS asexual with the actual "sex" portion of everything. he won't feel pressured around him or think he'd just randomly start talking about sex or something :3 i can see a sort of confidante relationship. really, it's hard to get ryan to open up at first, but toby seems like the kind of guy who would help him crawl out of his shell. i like the drawn out thing, too. <3 maybe they could spill their guts to each other or something because they're friends and such? i like the idea though :3

Yes! : D That's what I was thinking. Just a person to talk to and not be pressured with anything and all of that awesome stuff.
So yes. Everything you said. I like it. xD
