BIOGRAPHY !
Theodoric Krause was born into a household already filled with turmoil. His parent’s relationship was rocky by the time he was born and while they always told him they didn’t have him to fix their relationship, Theo could only wonder if that was the actual truth. Most nights his parents argued with each other, their isolated house keeping neighbors unsuspecting of how much the couple had actually begun to hate each other. Nathan would leave to go on a drive, not returning until well after midnight. He always said it was to clear his mind, to calm himself down after a fight, but that wasn’t the case. He’d go to the bar, flirt with a couple of people, maybe throw some darts or play pool before coming home. Nathan rarely drank, never physically cheated, never got into any bar fights, but both of them were entirely miserable. Adalyn, on the other hand, felt trapped in her life. She had to take care of Theo, she had to put her career to the side for her child while her husband was able to go out every night. She wasn’t happy, then again, neither of them were.
It was difficult for his parents to shield him from how discontent they were in their lives from Theo, although they tried at first. Their anger never boiled over to the point where it was directed at Theo, yet he was aware his parents didn’t care for each other from an early age because often he’d be the go-between for his parents. When they wouldn’t talk to each other, they’d make Theo carry messages back and forth. While Theo never minded because the alternative was having to hear his parents fight, it made him all too aware of the tension in his house. He grew up thinking that was normal until he went over to a friend’s house and their parents weren’t at each other’s throats constantly. Theo tried to spend most of his time with his friend to avoid being in his own house and the never ending fighting. It worked most of the time, his mom liked having some time to herself and Theo liked being part of what was a much more stable household. While he couldn’t spend every night there, from seven to nine, Theo practically spent every day hanging out with his friend.
When Theo turned ten, his parents finally called it quits on their marriage, but that’s when the real problems began. Neither of his parents wanted the other to have custody of Theo. Nathan moved out to his own apartment, officially separating himself from Adalyn. The time that Theo used to spend with his best friend and neighbor was now spent with his dad eating crappy television dinners and listening to complaints about his mother. Meanwhile whenever his mother came to pick him up, she refused to speak to Nathan at all and spent car rides home lecturing Theo on why he shouldn’t listen to anything his father told him. Theo felt like his life was more fractured than ever and he watched for over a year, the court battle got messy. So many people asked his opinion and he never knew what to say. On his eleventh birthday, the court officially came up with a plan. Theo would spend summers with his father and the school year with his mother.
As much as Theo pleaded with his mother to keep them in Aurora Bay, she didn’t listen. She moved them clear across the country to Wilmington, NC and Theo lost the only friend he had and the only family he felt like truly cared about him. Life with his mother wasn’t too terrible. She moved him back to her hometown. Another cute little beachy touristy college town, so it almost felt like he was still in Aurora Bay. He started making friends there and his life felt like it went back to normal. Theo hated when his friends started making summer plans because he’d never be able to join them when he was stuck going home to live with his dad. He didn’t like being sent off on a plane with a suitcase that was basically bigger than him every single summer.
Most summers were the exact same, spent cramped in his father’s apartment. He’d go to the beach with his best friend, play video games, or hang around downtown with the other teens. Conversations with his dad were always stiff and almost informal. The summer he met Mireya was different though. From years of dealing with his parent’s relationship problems, Theo never really cared for anything romantic, often either rolling his eyes at movies or keeping people at a distance. When friends back home brought up dating, Theo casually changed the subject. He wasn’t the type to settle down. Feelings weren’t something he did. But from the minute he spoke to her, he knew she was different. Of course, he was his charming self with her, but it wasn’t the same, it was more genuine. Theo wanted her to like him. While he knew it could never be anything more than a summer fling, he didn’t exactly stop himself from seeing her. If he never said it out loud, then it didn’t have to be true. At the end of the summer, they both left. Theo didn’t try to contact her because life got too busy.
Theo made the decision to stop going to visit his father in Aurora Bay the summer after he met Mireya to focus his time on his education. He realized his life was in North Carolina and he would do his best to keep up with his dad across the country via phone and the occasional visit. He continued to live with his mom while he was working on his master’s degree. The college he picked had a joint bachelor’s and master’s program, so he’d be saving money. Theo wanted to become a therapist, to help people the way he never got help. He was nearly done with his master’s degree portion when his mom got sick and despite her telling him not to, he deferred his final semester to take care of her. There wasn’t much to do other than make her final years comfortable. They took trips together, had a lot of laughs, celebrated the good in life–and when she was gone, Theo couldn’t find the strength to go back to finish his degree. He packed his bags, the town didn’t feel like home without his mom. So after he got his mother’s affairs in order and sold the house, he moved back to Aurora Bay to be closer to his father.
In the couple of months that he has been back in town, it hasn’t changed much, but his father had. Theo knew that his father met someone a couple of years back. He honestly hadn’t cared to know more, since he was dealing with his mother’s illness. He didn’t know how serious his father was about his new girlfriend until he showed up in town to find them engaged. Theo doesn’t know how to feel about it because he spent so long watching his parents be miserable together and he’s skeptical about the relationship, especially since she has a kid his own age that also doesn’t seem keen on the marriage either. His mom’s death feels so fresh and he still hasn’t grappled with any of his feelings, but he is determined to start fresh in Aurora Bay and not think about the past.

“ do I give the energy that I’m scary or spooky ? “ hutch asked as he frowned a bit at the notion. He knew he had an uncommon job and he was worried that was affecting his personal life. “subtract the job and the car because that’s not my choice to drive that. I am worried I’m giving off the vibe I’m a scary person. “
"Uh, no, I don't think so. You kind of look like a nerd." Which was completely not meant to be offensive because Theo felt like he had a similar style. "I don't know that I'd consider someone spooky just for their job. Plus there's worse jobs out there. I mean I walk into my therapist's office and she automatically knows I've had a rough week. That's more spooky to me."
Vlad snorted a laugh in response. There wasn't a lot to share. He'd been taking things slow with Bellamy. She was cautious, possibly due to his past friendship with her ex - he didn't blame her. He genuinely cared about her and wanted to show her that. "Well, we gotta change that. Once you're open for it, of course." Although he did not run with the best luck in his two previous relationships, Vladimir was a relationship guy. His parents made love and finding your other half so easy that at times he was envious.
At his friend's statement about their father, he didn't know what to say. It was true, their fathers were very different. But while Theo could express himself about his father that way, it wouldn't be okay for Vlad to regard to him in the same manner. Especially if the old man was now trying to change things. "Just take it a moment at a time. Or let him know that things aren't gonna change overnight."
Honestly, there was probably more in Vlad's life romantically than there was in Theo's. While he knew that Reya was here, he didn't expect anything to come from that. That summer was different and he'd been in a completely different place in his life. "I'm not... well, not yet anyway." Theo shrugged. He didn't think it was for the best yet. "Plus, I can... you know, find someone if I wanted." He wasn't exactly unattractive.
"I don't want things to change at all. The whole thing is annoying." His dad was acting like everything would fine was for the best anyways. "I don't know what I want to happen." Maybe his dad had changed in the last couple of years, but Theo doubted it.
Mireya could see how nervous he was, even without his sentences sputtering off. She didn't push him though, wanting to give Theo space to get his thoughts in order. She also didn't reach over and take his hand, even though in that moment, some deep part of her wanted to do just that.
Her mind came up with a dozen different reasons that he could be acting like this too, but despite all of her variations, none of them even came close to the real thing. And none of them made her breath catch in her throat at the same time her stomach all but bottomed out. Theo's mom....
It's been almost a year. The words jolted through her like an electric shock, making it still feel like it was impossible for her to even breathe. It'd been one year since her own mother had died, right along with her stepfather..
"Theo, I...." She swallowed, trying to think past the ringing in her ears. This time she didn't stop herself as she reached over, her hand slowly coming to rest over his own as she watched him brush away a tear. She felt her own burning behind her eyes but she fought them off as best she could, her fingers gently curling over his. "I'm so sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I didn't know, I..." I know exactly how you feel. She shook her head, holding his hand a little tighter. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Theo felt like he was always a grounded person. His parents being so angry and mad at each other all the time helped make sure that he was a calm, responsible type of person. For the longest time, he felt like he was way more responsible than a lot of his friends growing up. Sometimes now he felt like he was far too young to understand the grief that went with dealing with his mother's death, being with her and watching her get worse and worse. He didn't know how he was supposed to deal with it all.
He knew that his dad didn't really have much of an opinion on what was going on. He almost expected Theo to be alright with the way he was moving on with his life. His parents hadn't been in the same room for a long time, not even when Theo was shipped back and forth between them every summer. It was odd the way that his dad kept acting like nothing was wrong, like Theo's grief meant nothing.
But he'd been there was something in watching his mother get worse and worse. He knew it was coming. He had the time to prepare, even though nothing could really help him prepare for it all. Being here was strange because to a degree the towns were almost parallels to each other: opposite sides of the country and yet almost the same. College tourist towns.
He took a deep breath. There weren't many people who knew what happened to him. With his grandparents in another country, Theo didn't have anyone else to talk to about this here. "You don't have..." Theo stared and then shook his head. They hadn't spoken in so long, of course she couldn't have known. That information never really made it online. "I don't know." He didn't know how to talk about it. While he had his problems with his parents and how they'd raised him, Theo loved both of them despite their flaws. "I, um, just miss her."
"God, this place is fucking boring sometimes. Like, sure, beautiful — but also fucking boring. I can't keep going to the same three bars over and over again. You got any ideas?"
"I like the boring. I can't say much, the town I used to live in before here is exactly like this." College town with a pretty large tourist population during summers. He liked living here, though he missed home more. "You could always go somewhere outside the town. There's plenty of places outside." He leaned back in his seat. "What kind of places do you normally like going?"

Mireya was glad that Theo actually did wait for her, but now that she was out of work early and solely focused on him, she felt a little....off kilter. This was only the second time seeing him in years. They weren't the same people who'd spent a summer together forever ago, so she wondered if she could still comfort him, still give him whatever it was that he so clearly needed in that moment, given that he sought her out out of anyone else he may have in town.
"I didn't actually mean entertain me, Teddy." She teased softly once they were outside, the old nickname just slipping out of her unwarranted. "I just meant...I'm here. I'm not going to get in trouble, and I have nowhere to be anytime soon so..I'm here. For whatever you need. So just.....tell me what's going on?"
There were other people that he kept in contact with over the years that he could have gone to. People that knew what happened with his mom. Theo could have gone to one of them, but there was a pull to Reya that he didn't expect. Showing up here after all these years, he didn't expect to see her at all. Yet here she was. He didn't know what he wanted, he only knew that his emotions were a lot and he needed a distraction.
"I know, I just..." he tailed off, not knowing how to finish that sentence. "Okay," he nodded. He really didn't want to get her into trouble. Theo didn't know where to start. Talking about his family was still complicated. Visiting his dad every summer had mostly been the two of them not talking about their feelings. "One of those 'Last Year You Were' videos popped up on my phone and it was my last big trip with my mom before she died. I watched her get worse and worse until the end." He sighed, brushing a tear away. "It's been almost a year."
"C'mon - don't let me be alone in this, man." Vladimir said, chuckling lightly. "Unless I'm wrong and you're all Mr. Casanova now. 'Cause I ain't heard of you dating anyone." he arched his brow, giving his friend a pressing look. "Let's see how drunk my dad gets you first." he joked. His family used any excuse to celebrate and bring out their best brandy. It was funny how his relationship with his parents changed over the years - from sneaking drinks behind their backs in his youth to now sharing glasses over a meal. "I imagine. It must be weird after all these years." he said. Knowing the history with Theo's family, he imagined it would be a little awkward to suddenly play family.
"Don't worry, I won't, but I will bother you with questions about your life like your parents, so don't think you're gonna get away that easily." Of course, he expected lots of questions about his own life. "I did go on a couple of dates with someone in Wilmington, but I'm not dating anyone now." He did not want to get teased about his feelings. "Well, your dad isn't a piece of shit like mine." Okay, that might have been a little harsh. Theo was glad his father was trying, even if it felt like it was far too late and he was concerned about the relationship his mom had with Easton's mother. "Beyond bizarre. He's trying too hard."
"Depends on who I'm with. If they hate spiders and are scared of them I'll kill it, but if I'm on my own, it goes outside. No point in killing something that's just trying to live it's life."
"Ha—" Bradley answers, tilting the bottle of water to point at him. Bradley didn't do public meltdowns, she ran, hid away for months at a time, vanished as if she'd never existed to begin with. Even the best internet sleuths couldn't catch a sighting of her.
( Bradley really had mastered the art of incognito when she wanted it, and yet — was as relevant as ever when she resurfaced. )
Theo didn't remember the last time he had a meltdown. Maybe some people would say that him moving back here was part of a breakdown, but he also didn't want to live with the constant reminders of his mom. That wasn't the worst thing he thought. "Well, that's boring. Who am I going to tell?" He had friends of course, still he doubted they wanted to hear about a stranger's random way of melting down.

"It doesn't seem like he's doing a good job at making up for any of it, or an effort," Easton points out, "seems pretty preoccupied, you know?" With his mom, of course, but he doesn't feel the need to say it. "We should probably just both go. I doubt they'd even notice." Does he mean together? Not really. But wherever the wind takes them.
"Yeah, well," Theo shrugged like it answered the question. In truth, sometimes he thought his father was one of those people who only cared when it benefitted himself. "He's probably doing his best." He was probably doing his worst honestly. Theo didn't have much good to say about his dad. "Yeah, probably not. Do you want to grab a drink or something?"
"Sea salt and Honeycomb sounds delicious, I've never tried that." Sterling noted that she needed to. "I think so, yeah. Although, I've never had a cup of tea with my ice cream before. I guess its good?"
"You should. It's really good." Theo didn't really want to stand around talking about ice cream flavors all day. "I think that might be a uniquely me thing. Or well my mom did that too. All my friends back home thought it was a bit weird."
Even though she hadn't seen him in years, Mireya felt like she knew Theo. So she knew how he was right now...wasn't normal. He seemed nervous, off-kilter. He was rambling and disjointed. He was off. He wasn't okay. And it immediately sent alarm bells ringing in her head, immediately made her lose focus on anything other than him.
"Don't apologize." She told him gently, "And you're not bothering." She quickly added, even motioning around for good measure to show that it was the middle of the day and there were only a handful of patrons in the tea shop at that moment. Mireya needed to fight the urge then to reach out and grab his hand, to move closer, to step into his space, so much so that she wrung her hands for a moment. She bit her lip too, looking around to where her coworker was before she let out a breath. "Give me a second. Don't move. Don't leave. Please." Mireya leveled him with a look too, equal parts warning and pleading before she darted off to the other end of the counter and quickly spoke with her coworker. Seconds later she was pulling off her apron and chucking it beneath the counter before she rounded to his side, again resisting grabbing his hand and instead motioning towards the door. "I'm all yours to entertain now. Come on"
Moving to Aurora Bay had been so strange, even though he'd spent all his summers here and the first ten years of his life here, Theo was a different person. He wished he could go back to that summer when he'd met Reya. When everything had been good. And maybe he came back here when he could have gone anywhere because he hoped that he'd see her during the summer. Or that feeling would come back of everything being okay.
Still showing up at her job because he was sad over seeing a photograph of a good memory. He leaned up against the counter, still feeling like he'd bothered her. Showing up at her job might have been a mistake. Theo didn't want to get her into trouble for having friends at work. Friends? If they were that. "Okay," he nodded. Theo waited a minute for her to do whatever she was going to do and then he watched as she took her apron off. He really didn't want her to get into trouble.
"I don't know that I'm really going to be all that entertaining, but I'll try." Theo opened the door for her. "I hope you don't get in trouble for leaving. Really. I'd be okay."
"Ah, the more you know hm?" She answers, new found information that would definitely leave her mind the second she left the store.
( She can't remember the last time she did her own shopping, never mind organised a pantry. Probably sometime before her divorce, when she made more of an effort to fit into Santiagos life. A balance between her life and his, though differences proved to be too big. )
"Not like Mariah though, I don't have a meltdown if—" her head shakes, figuring her probably wasn't going to get her reference. "You know what, never mind."
He knew most people probably didn't care to talk about candy like this, but it was easier to talk about than other subjects. "I guess." He shrugged. Theo was still trying to get used to this town again, even though he'd moved so long ago.
"So what kind of meltdown are you planning on having?" Theo asked. He learned a long time ago not to have meltdowns over little stuff. "If it isn't Mariah level."
"Gross," he mutters, annoyed that Theo would even say such a thing. "Why?" Easton wonders, "it's not like he's spending time with you." Honestly, it's the same with his own mother and quite frankly, it's not really fair to either of them. "What do you mean? Like you have nowhere better to be? No friends? Crashing on your daddy's couch?"
It was more complicated than he wanted to admit and even if he did Easton was not the person that he wanted to talk about it with. "Yeah, well that was my entire life growing up. I was the collateral damage in the divorce when I was eight. Mom made up for it eventually, but dad... he didn't." He shrugged. Not that he thought Easton would care about it. "I have friends. They're just all busy. And no I'm not staying here. I have my own apartment. Dad's all I have left. Well other than my grandparents, but they're all in Germany."

Theo: I don't actually know. I've been staring at my wall for a few hours now.
Theo: Thinking about taking a walk to the beach. Maybe that'll clear my head.

How does your muse behave when they are with their crush / love?
"I hang on to every word they say. For the most part I'd say I don't act all that much different, but I try to make sure that I pay attention to what they want in a partner. I've only ever been in a couple relationships, so maybe I'll act differently now."
