thoudostsmileA story that I mostly enjoy showing through animation(see WIP above) but also am actively writing, is Arborescence/Tree yaoi. It is centered on two characters: Rene, and Cain. Some kind of horror-elements included
They are the same age since they are twins, though Cain has A LOT more health issues than Rene, and they look rather different from each other..Rene would be the main guy shown in the animatic. They were both raised in a cult, though only Rene had left it to go study in the city. He didn't really realize they were in a cult and wouldn't for a while, family was just lax about letting him out of their reach, so long they still had psychological power over him - which they do. With Cain it's kind of more strict. So when Rene decided to leave, it weighed on the both of them really hard.
Ok and then what happened???
About two or three years after leaving, he was still keeping contact with Cain via text, and one day he got a real worrying message from him, the kind that would imply he was in grave danger. So he ran home to see if he was alright, only for Cain to be missing. Family says one thing, Cains best friend says another ("he argued with your dad and then said he would go to some concert"), then he finds out Cain is gay through snooping into his brothers phone - all that together resulted in Rene figuring that the guy really did sneak out, so he spent that day just waiting for Cain to get home and worrying like crazy. He worried that their parents could have kicked him out if they, too, found out about his sexuality. He's in general meant to come off as really neurotic, so a lot of his valid fear bleeds into over the top paranoia, which then leads to Rene denying himself the ability to consider his worries as valid enough. So that's a thing.
Anyway. That same night, an argument with his mother causes him to take a mental health TM walk to calm his nerves, though, and as he got deeper in the forest, he was getting calls from mom, begging him to come back home and alluding to some danger. Rene scoffed at that but then, he suddenly realized that something was following him.... DASH!!!!!!! cut to black, cliffhanger, etc.
I'll probably write in more once I've actually published what happens next :P
