i really need a name for him but he was forced to get wise fast when his parents split up and he felt pressure to be a good support system for his family so he has moments of being wiser than his age. it would be so cute if they had a friendship they could lean on each other for.
realistically, he hasn't been allowed in many clubs for too long so maybe they met on the night of his 21st birthday or some other milestone like when he got his BA? they have been dancing and friends ever since?
