BACKGROUND: Kian grew up in a picture perfect family, one that always kept up appearances and never missed a single day of church. On the outside, the Bennetts seemed like they had anything anyone could ever want in life; two kids that followed the book to the letter, who never acted out or embarrassed the family. But that was only on the outside, as on the inside the parents didn’t necessarily care for their kids like others did. If one was sick then they’d get a prayer and a single dose of medicine and nothing more, none of the usual coddling or special treatment others gave their kids. Kian always hated that, his twin was always a bit more fragile than he was so he tried to beg his parents to give them some more attention when they were hurt or ill but they brushed it off. From a young age Kian was the one taking care of his twin in the emotional and physical department where their parents lacked, always standing up for them during school when they got picked on for being shy and timid. Kian had always been…a little put off by all the beliefs and ideals his parents shoved down their throats, even if he did follow them and listen to the lectures at home and at church, he always had his doubts of if everything they spoke about was actually right in the back of his mind. Around the start of high school was when Kian really started to act out, mostly because his twin got bullied worse at that age and since their parents wouldn’t do anything besides tell them to pray that it goes away, Kian was the one that had to step in. He got into fights, got detention, had arguments with any adult that reprimanded him, all because he wanted to protect his twin. During the same year he started high school is when he got into the biggest argument he’d ever had with his parents; he was talking to his twin during dinner about one of his friends who had gotten into a relationship with someone of the same gender and his parents flipped out about it, saying the most crude and horrible things about his friend that Kian had had since childhood. That was what broke the last thread of respect Kian had for his parents, he yelled and screamed at them about how they were the disgusting ones for thinking someone just trying to be themselves was something so horrific. From then on things were always tense between Kian and his parents, every conversation had a chance to turn into a full blown argument and more often than not it did. It was a year after that when Kians twin confided in him that they didn’t feel like the girl they were born as and instead wanted to be a boy like Kian, to be called Theodore instead of the name his parents gave him. Kian could tell he was scared shitless to tell him, could see it in the way he shook like a leaf, but he wasn’t about to abandon his twin like he knew his parents would if they found out. So he kept the secret to himself, along with his own secret of having an attraction to men. Kian had long since ditched his parents ideals and beliefs but somethings were so deeply drilled into him that it was hard to let go of, which was why he had deeply internalized homophobia for most of his school life. It was completely fine if his friends dated the same gender, but the moment Kian started having those thoughts and imagining him in a relationship with a man…he felt so scared and nervous that he blocked it away and continued assuming he was straight. His high school years were spent trying to avoid his parents as much as possible by sneaking out to hang out with his friends or spending a majority of the day with his childhood friends he’d started a band with. Everything had been as decent as it could be all the way up until the summer after graduation; Kian had been out of the house all day to hang out with his friends and arrived home late in the evening to find his parents seething in the living room with photo strips and crumpled notes laid out on the coffee table, it turns out they had searched his room looking for something and accidentally found things Kian had kept hidden for months now. Some were stupid notes his friends would leave him and others…were of when he and his friends had gotten high and went into a photo booth at an arcade, the pictures depicting pure casual affection. Faces smushed together to fit in frame, a cheek or forehead kiss here and there, all things that anyone would see as a healthy friendship between childhood friends. Not Kians parents, though. They were disgusted, revolted, screamed every name under the sun at their own son even as he tried to explain nothing was happening in those photos. At just 18 years old Kian was kicked out, given an hour to pack up his things and figure out where to go. He only had clothes and some memories from hangouts or times he was with his brother so packing didn’t take long, Kian spent the rest of the time he had left comforting his twin who was beyond devastated by what was happening. Theodore wanted to go with him, begged to, but Kian knew that it wasn’t a good idea. As much as it angered and pained him to admit, he wouldn’t be able to take care of Theodore like he had all the years before, he didn’t even know what he was going to do next. So he convinced his twin to stay with their parents for now, where he’d at least be fed and have a roof over his head until Kian could figure something out. It was the hardest thing Kian had ever had to do but he knew his twin would be safe, his parents were never rough on him like they were with Kian and Theodore was too shy to get into any trouble anyway. Kian exchanged some last harsh words to his parents, declaring he’d hate them forever, before leaving the house with a duffle bag of his things. He ended up staying at a friends house for a couple months while he got a job, saving every penny he could and keeping in regular contact with Theodore through texting, calling and meeting up every few days. A little less than a year after Kian was kicked out, Theodore managed to arrange a way to run away from the house and stay with a friend. Kian never got exact details but he was happy enough that both him and his brother were free from their parents clutches. Kian worked for a while longer before enrolling in a community college to study music and stay in the dorms while he and his friends continued to keep their band going, doing small gigs whenever they got the opportunity. Kian still wasn’t comfortable admitting his sexuality so he ended up being somewhat of a resident playboy around campus, being known as the guy who could have any girl he wanted at any party he went to. That only lasted about a year or so into his college years before he slowly stopped sleeping around when he realized he felt nothing with the women he’d been with, and only really felt anything when he was with another guy. He came out to his close friends and brother as gay and worked on slowly coming to terms with it, doing his best to try and shake off any lingering fears his parents embedded in him.
