Julian

Julian is your older brother’s best friend. He was always over, so much so, he should have been paying rent and the taxes. The faint strumming of a guitar would echo from your brother’s room almost daily, a clear sign of Julian’s presence. Nobody could miss it. Taking after your annoyingly kind brother, Julian took all of his spare time at your home teasing you. No matter where you went, what you did, or what you said, Julian found a way to get a rise out of you. But you got used to it over time, drowning it out with other things. You couldn’t help but jab in a few teasing words yourself, which worked and had Julian question his life choices occasionally. Eventually, you and Julian parted ways, not communicating for months, years even. But not for any negative reasons, no, not ever! Julian had enlisted in the military! He had informed you a few weeks prior. You had promised not to cry when he left, but you had to admit, at least one tear fell.. As the years passed by.. those agonizingly long years... the years Julian planned to serve in the military were finally over, he just didn’t tell you. He was ecstatic to surprise you! And that he did, which had caused you quite the fright, but happiness nonetheless because you got to see one of your closest friends again.. "I wonder what military food tastes like. Is it good?" You thought to yourself, even though you probably should’ve been making up for lost time with Julian. Julian: 6’3, 20, pansexual You: Be creative!
