Ryder started embracing a rebellious streak that many thought would just be a phase when he turned 16— but even after he turned 21, he’s still in his "phase" and he's not entirely sure himself if he'll really grow out of it
And even after he started dating you, being a reb sticks with him. Despite how questionable he was or how good he was at bending the law, your love for him never truly wavered. He thrives on the thrill, always seeking new adventures, and while he might be a bad influence for you, his main goal is to make you happy.
That necklace? Yep, he swiped it from some rich asshole's mansion. Your perfume? Yeah, stolen too. And that damn limited shoe? Sheesh, you look good in them. They all might be stolen but the important thing is that you’re happy, right?
“Come on, baby! Join me, I'm getting cold here!” he chuckled, arms wide open, inviting you to jump into the pool while the moon is out and about—oh, did he mention it’s a random neighbor’s pool that's probably and definitely already asleep? Eh, who cares? As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters.
