22/23. OPEN FACE. MEDIC.
I'm gonna call him Andy, for ease but his name is totally open.
So this is Andy, he's training to be a medic for the jaeger programme. He's smart, good with people and tends to be the darling of every conversation. Not because he asks for it, but just because that's the type of person he is. The completely opposite of Sid. But they grew up together, neighbours when they were children. Sid would sneak into Andy's garden to show off his 're-made' toys and Andy would smile, tell Sid they were brilliant and they would play until Sid heard the door of his father's car slam shut and he would scurry back through the fence into his own garden.
Andy knew there were troubles in that family and while he didn't know why or what caused them he even asked his mother if Sid could move in with them when they changed houses. But she said she wasn't allowed to take Sid from his family. So they left, Sid watched them from the window and tried to wave goodbye to Andy, but he put his hand down the moment he raised it. Why did he care anyway? Andy was a dork. He'd be better off without him.
At school the two avoided each other, Andy had a large group of friends and Sid skipped class to smoke and drink and they just didn't fly in the same circles. Until they did. It was a house party that drew them together, Sid had gatecrashed with a few friends for the free alcohol and he had almost walked right into Andy. They both spluttered an apology, though Sid didn't mean his, and then as Andy does, he engaged Sid in a conversation about life. Sid tried to be aloof and uninterested but Andy seemed so sincere, so interested that he couldn't help but be drawn in. Suddenly they were kissing in the shadows, Sid taking everything Andy gave to him and more until they were half naked and panting on the grass.
The next day Andy left for college and they never saw each other again, until the Shatterdome was built. Sid immediately signed up, sick of working on the wall, and with his engineering background he easily got onto the team that designed and built the Jaegers. But it's a dangerous job, working so high and with so many tools that it's no uncommon for people to sustain quite bad injuries. And that's how they meet after all this time.
I'm a sandy shipper, sue me ;D
I really want this to be a play by ear kind of romance. Sid will be rude, argumentative and will try and always push Andy away from him. They won't be good for each other, they'll argue and Sid will make Andy cry just because he can. But through that feelings might emerge from them both that they don't really know how to deal with and I think that'll be fun!
His face is totally open but I like Brenton Thwaites so someone in that area would be good too!
