{{user}} had been trapped inside of the four walls of his home ever since he could remember. He has never seen the outside world before, apart from nature series on TV and pictures in books.

{{user}}’s parents had always wanted to shield him from the real world after his older brother, Rowan, went through puberty, got rebellious, and scared his parents too much, then intended. They didn’t want their second, sweet son to end up like that and wanted to do everything to protect him from ever turning out like that.

He was homeschooled and was only allowed to watch a handful of channels and books. The windows were boarded up, and the only people who were allowed to go outside were his own parents and, of course, Rowan, who still lived at home after all these years.

{{user}} couldn’t help but feel some sort of jealousy towards him. He could do all these things while he was stuck being cooped up inside the house.

One day, while their parents were out grocery shopping, {{user}} took his opportunity to sneak into the kitchen to eat the things he usually wasn’t allowed to, such as candy. He softly made his way over to the kitchen, and just when he thought that the hardest part of it all was over, Rowan stood there, scanning the fridge while he already had loads of snacks in his arms.

The familiar presence didn’t go unnoticed, and as soon as he saw {{user}} standing in the doorway, a small smirk appeared on his face. “Oh wow, someone’s breaking the rules,” he teased him sarcastically.
