some boys, such as this one, are moon boys; boys made of moonlight, star kisses and all the hidden cosmos. their souls are magic, their hearts larger than the darkness of the sky above, their eyes shine with a light that was meant to last in darkness, their hands ready to write sonnets about their romantic trances, their mouths ready to kiss all the bad away, their bodies shaking with the need to be a light to the world, their bones are far older than we can fathom, made of moon dust and a deep anxious thrum shoots through them. these boys aren't meant to be burned, they aren't meant to be hurt. they are sensitive and shy, but, with the help of a sun boy or girl, they can outshine that giant star in the sky. these boys were made for listening and playing music, made for crying over commercials, made for being kind even when no one else is, they were made to love; to love the world, to love one person for the rest of their days, to love strangers on the street that might just need a friendly smile or helping hand. these boys, especially ones with chocolate curls, deep green eyes, and white dimpled smiles, are the moon, and though they are only allowed to come out at night it is truly a shame - for they were meant to always be seen.
meet rory edward oakley, a boy full of stars.
― rory edward oakley was born in cheshire, england, though more specifically a small ceremonial town known as holmes chapel. halfway into his year 9, his family had to move to yorkshire, england, to a town called doncaster, due to his step-father's job. he was born to annalise charlotte oakley and ellis david kingston on the fourteenth of february, valentine's day. he has one sibling, a sister who is four years his senior named genevieve emma oakley (or gemma, as rory used to try and copy his mother when his sister was in trouble but he couldn't pronounce genevieve well so he put her first and middle name together, this her being dubbed gemma). his birth parents never married, and his dad left his mom when rory was two months old and they haven't heard from him since; which is why rory has his mother's maiden name as his last name. rory's mum ended up finding the true love of her life in thomas abernathy; they have been together seven years and though they've yet to actually get married, they've been engaged for three years.
― he usually just goes by his first name, rory, although those close to him will sometimes refer to him as "roe". one of his friends started calling him "bambi" because he's so clumsy and because of his doe eyes, but now people usually use it in a derogatory sense (though, some still use it out of fondness for the lad). he also is sometimes referred to as "curly". rory also thinks it's pretty cool that his initials are "r, e, o" because it's like r.e.o speedwagon (and yes, he tried to get his family to nickname him speedwagon; what a dork!).
― rory refuses to put a label on his sexuality, because to him it doesn't matter if he falls in love with a boy or if he falls in love with a girl; he just wants to be loved and to be able to love someone in return. love is love is love, and he loves it. (just so everyone knows, he will be falling in love with a boy; awww precious babes).
― soft little bean; rory is quite literally the sweetest boy alive - he is well-mannered and polite, maybe even overly so. and though kindness is a virtue, it can also be his weakness. his softness is abused and extorted, people take advantage of the nice kid who just wants friends. honestly, it's horrible how mean people can be towards him, all because he doesn't fight back. he's a pacifist towards himself, but he'd do almost anything to stand up for his friends - even jumping out of his comfort zone.
― want to hear a good joke? then don't ask this dork. rory absolutely loves to tell jokes, but they are super cringey; you'd have to really love him to find his jokes funny - like his mom doesn't even try to encourage them. to elaborate, let's talk about this one joke he made up:
"why did the baboon ask the giraffe why the long face?"
"because it thought it's neck was its face"
see what i mean? terrible joke. but hey, at least it got his cute dimples to show right?
― again, rory is such a dork. like at home, when he is absolutely free to be himself, he has a field day! he is constantly singing and dancing and running around hugging his parents and sister. honestly he is such a nuisance at home, but they all love him. he likes to bake for his family. he is also in his comfort zone and is able to be goofy when he is in his drama class and club at school; he can be as silly and dramatic as possible. it's great honestly, if only he was always confident in himself - surely he would take over the world!
― he is such an indie kid; he loves music, lives and breathes it honestly, and he is always writing songs, or playing his keyboard or guitar or ukulele, or just bopping to music. he loves all sorts of music and he loves finding new artists and bands to appreciate. key to his heart? show him your favorite song or artist and just let him know how much it means to you, or just introduce him to a band he's never heard of!
― his hobbies include; telling corny jokes (to him, they are amaizeing), theatre, singing and songwriting, making up goofy dance moves, juggling (he's actually really good), baking, going for random walks in nature, reading and helping others.
―
tw / bullying rory has been bullied since his early days in school, but he isn't sure why. people have just always thought him to be weird, he was that quiet kid always listening to music or reading or writing, he was always nice and such a suck up to the teachers (not really, he's just polite) and people just didn't like him. it's a shame really, he's honestly the best. anyways, he was and is constantly bullied and because of this his self-confidence is at an all time low. really, the bullying took its peak when the kids witnessed him have a panic attack. he was diagnosed with anxiety and is on meds to keep it regulated, though sometimes he will still have the attacks (though usually it's due to the stress of being picked on more so than anything). his meds are also used to help fight his depression; sometimes he just gets really sad and just wants to stay home and sleep and ignore the world. can anyone blame him though? it's tough not having friends and being picked on for just being yourself.
