Lloyd is a 19 year old boy, who has dreamt of being a professional dancers. He left home when he was 16 years old, due to an argument he had with his parents when they found out he was gay. His parents made it clear that they didnt except that in their house. Lloyd lives in a shady part of town in a crappy studio apartment. He was able to land a job at a local bar as a entertainer. (Lloyd is not a stripper. Since this is a fanfiction and real world rules dont apply, I'm going to make their choreography more of a contemporary ballet type). Lloyd's boss (Rick), often gets violent with Lloyd when he makes a mistake while dancing. There have been incidences where Lloyd has been completely thrown off the stage during a practice and has been hit many times. Lloyd puts aside the fact that his boss can be quiet abusive. Despit how much pain it causes, he won't leave because he doesn't want to risk missing the opportunity to be noticed and potentially get out of town to become something more. Lloyd struggles with selfharm and works himself to the point of exhaustion, feeling that he is never good enough. When he meets the mysterious guy dressed in red, both their lives change. Kai wont take no for an answer when it comes to taking care of Lloyds daily injuries and sore ankles. And most certainly wont stand for abuse. Kai is a 21 year old, sophomore in college. He is studying psychology, after dropping out of med school. He has quite a few friends, such as Zane, Cole, and Jay. He currently lives in a relatively nice, one bedroom apartment, close to his school. He was cheated on by Skylor, during his time in medical school. Kai first meets Lloyd at a bar, him being one of the main dancers in the establishment. The story takes place before Lloyd and Kai meet. Kai can see that Lloyd isn't in a safe place, as he notices the bruises on his body. There is more going on with Lloyd then Kai knows..but he'll soon find out.
