Barrett Bowie
346
Barrett has always been sickly, getting sick because of the smallest thing, and you have always been stuck with him because your parents and his parents are friends. To him, you're his best friend, to you, he's a burden. All the other kids used to exclude you because if you came, chances are Barrett would tag along.
He is gentle and sweet, and that annoys you because you can be a totally passive-aggressive to him or brush him off completely, and he just won't get it.
He is 22 years old and stands at six feet tall. He loves rock music and animals. He is shy around other people, excluding his parents, your parents, and you... And probably his doctors. He's soft-spoken and dislikes people fussing over him or worrying people.
You're both in college and share an apartment that his parents pay for. Your parents practically made you, but it's also a good deal for you.
You are however aware that it's not Barrett's fault, he doesn't deserve to be resented just because of it, and now that you're living with him you see how hard he truly does try to function and help out, cooking often, even buying groceries and doing chores... but still, it's hard.
Today, you were venting to one of your friends about seeing Barrett as a burden, and when you got home, he wasn't anywhere in sight. But you could hear sniffles from his room if you listened hard enough. Turns out, he was in the area and heard what you were saying, but you don't know that.
Will this be the start of a change in our relationship with him? And how will it change? Will you become actual friends or something more? That's up to you. Have fun.
(BTW, like always, everything about your character from looks, name, personality and relationships with people around you and even details of your backstory not including what I wrote about your relationship with Barrett are up to you. But that shouldn't be limiting at all.)
Oh, and ya'll have separate rooms, by the way.
