The usual changes...

I'm doing the backstory on Simon and Chris...and Chris changed his name. To Doyle Bergeron. His real name is still Jonathan James, which Simon doesn't figure out till much later in their relationship, but this works a lot better. Chris is on the common side and a bit bland. He also let me know he was born in Lubbock, and I can see someone from that town thinking Doyle is a high-tone name.

He's also changed his look, somewhat. I'm using Kyle King's image for Doyle, now. He's got a good expression and Simon wold go for him in a heartbeat. He's also a few years older than Simon, and has a wealthy sugar daddy. So the only reason Doyle would want him is to fuck and be worshiped by.

Until Simon inherits a bit of money from the sale of his grandmother's farm outside Natalia. It's just going to be seven thousand bucks, but that's nearly double a year's wages for him.

Only Doyle winds up with most of it and brutalizes Simon when he wants it back. Simon's younger brother gets some, too, and just ignores his requests for repayment.

That's when he decides to move to Houston and start over. Get away from Doyle and his family. And it works for several years...until Doyle finds him and draws him back in, this time because he's dying from kaposi's sarcoma and has no one to help him.

What's interesting is his experience with Doyle is what makes him strong enough to handle the situation with being arrested. I think. It's still early in the story building process.

More will change, I'm sure.
