[name_m]Denali[/name_m] [name_f]Maria[/name_f] Brugués (22, they/them) is the former roommate of [name_m]Sam[/name_m], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], who Lexas’ heard so much about, leading to her own musings and speculation. If you asked Denalis’ parents and younger sister if they’re surprised by the way things ended in the old roommate situation, they’d respond with a hard no. Since middle school, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] has consistently had a boyfriend, and they were fascinated by romance even before then. They grew up loving tales of grand gestures and soulmates, which of course has charm and great meaning, but unfortunately led to them putting such ideals on a pedestal that became more overbearing as they grew up.
[name_f][/name_f]When [name_m]Denali[/name_m] met their boyfriend it wasn’t a love at first sight situation, which furthered the shock for [name_m]Sam[/name_m], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] and [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] really, as there wasn’t a warning sign things would get so intense. He and [name_m]Denali[/name_m] were both servers at a university venue, where they bonded, however he didn’t show any signs of being attracted towards nonbinary people, so [name_m]Denali[/name_m] assumed nothing would come of their crush. Until a fateful work outing for ice-skating when they walked home together, and revealed his feelings. This proved to be the beginning of the end for things as [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their roommates knew life to be.
[name_f][/name_f]In truth, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] misses [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] a great deal. It’s a repeat of how they’ve really longed for their other close friends who were left behind when a new soulmate came on the scene, but maybe maturity is starting to kick in, as the world of mostly associating with their boyfriends’ friends [not that he has many, but generally he hasn’t been as attached as [name_m]Denali[/name_m] and their roomies were to one another] has become one less and less appealing to [name_m]Denali[/name_m] over time. They still love their boyfriend dearly and do feel it was right moving in with him, but for once, [name_m]Denali[/name_m] is genuinely wondering if focusing so wholeheartedly on a romance isn’t going to make either of them happy in the long term.
