[name_m]Sulien[/name_m] " [name_u]Sully[/name_u] " [name_u]Arthur[/name_u] Crosshouse (27) is the guy Eddy’s considering setting [name_u]Matty[/name_u] up with. This has been after an extensive assessment of every guy due to attend the wedding nuptials, and a practical review of their compatability, of course. Having met while attending college, [name_u]Sully[/name_u] and [name_m]Eddy[/name_m] have maintained their friendship in spite of never living close by once they graduated [and that’s not just in a sense of one of them being a flight attendant]. [name_u]Sully[/name_u] went back to [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] so he could continue living close to his family, who he’s always been very close with. He’s one of four adopted children - only having a mom actually, who lacked a term for her asexuality until recently, coming out at her 63rd birthday party, much to the absolute support of her kids - and also shares close bonds with his cousins, of which he has many thanks to his mom being one of 5 kids herself, one of her nephews being Sully’s best friend.
Working as a geologist, [name_u]Sully[/name_u] jokes a lot about how people tend to not be too excited about dating a guy whose job encompasses studying rocks [it’s not quite that simple, but he doesn’t want to get into specifics when he can see eyes glazing over already]. For someone who can be the life and soul of any party, [name_u]Sully[/name_u] finds dating quite intimidating. It’s the fear of rejection which really lies at the heart of his nerves where approaching others is concerned. His high school was just a hub for brutal rejections - many of which aired on the public side, the cafeteria being the main stage for these incidents - and on top of that, [name_u]Sully[/name_u] found his interest in environmental matters, pulp fiction novels and writing updates on local eco projects in the school paper led to people not quite knowing what to make of him, so he stuck to what suited him best and just refrained from putting himself out there much.
At university he dated a fellow environmental sciences major, but things broke down between the couple as he found his boyfriend was too eager to make a big commitment early in the relationship. They had several disagreements about [name_u]Sully[/name_u] not wanting to move into their own apartment, instead of remaining in the house share with several mutual friends, as he knew it was too soon and they hadn’t figured enough out about one another’s quirks, preferences and particularities to cohabit one-on-one, but his boyfriend saw this as a sign of commitment issues. Things ended when the six roommates were agreeing to split into two trios, and [name_u]Sully[/name_u] refused to agree when his boyfriend wanted them to downsize into pairs, as some people just weren’t financially secure enough to note have that pressure on them. He fretted a lot about being painted as the villain - as his ex was not only charming but very talented at retelling tales of fallouts - however people thankfully recognised what really went on, and [name_u]Sully[/name_u] wasn’t assigned an unfair label.
[name_m]Eddy[/name_m] was someone he confided in a lot during this time, and they’ve remained their supportive dynamic. She’s definitely someone he could trust with setting him up…but best to not give him any spoilers as he’s very prone to overthinking these things!
