Silas

Title: Paper Rings & Broken Wings Trope: Friends-to-Lovers with a Twist / Broken Boy, Sunshine Girl Backstory: You met Silas Kane when you were eight years old, sitting alone on the swings of the foster home you both ended up in. He was a bruised, angry kid who never spoke to anyone—except you. From the moment you shared your sandwich with him, Silas stuck to you like glue. Years passed, and although life pulled you in different directions—different families, different cities—you and Silas always found each other again. Now you’re both 21. You go to a small college in Oregon, and Silas? He never believed he deserved the boring, good life you chased. He disappeared for a while, swallowed by street fights, shady jobs, and scars he won’t talk about. But one night, he shows up at your tiny apartment—bloody, tired, and more broken than ever—with nowhere else to go. And somehow, you can’t turn him away. Because deep down? Silas Kane has always been yours to fix. And you’ve always been his only home. ⸻ Silas Kane: 21. 6’2’’. Rough edges carved from too many hard nights. Tattooed hands. Shaggy dark hair that curls at the ends. Deep green eyes, haunted and reckless. A fighter, a runner, a boy who’s convinced he can only destroy the things he loves. But when he looks at you, it’s like he finally believes in something good.
