they're the same age! he's always been a little more well behaved so maybe it makes sense that they didn't get too close. he's always been on the nerdy side though he loves things like dungeons and dragons and growing up was probably seen as not very cool because he liked to wear capes to school and dress like a jedi. he's chilled out on that once he hit college though that's not to say he's still not into the nerd stuff. once he started socializing more outside of a few very close childhood friends he developed a love for the outdoors (camping, biking, hiking) so he considers his hobbies to be a little more well rounded now! though he still gets all of his marvel tickets in advance and has a lot of passionate opinions about star wars, doctor who, harry potter, etc.
