chauncey middle barnes

— firstborn to jace and madonna barnes. they were high school sweethearts, madonna a cheerleader and jace on the football team, voted prom queen and king before they settled in a nice neighborhood, his mother a therapist and his father a principal in middle school, his middle school teacher. because they were so successful and seemingly made it so easy, one would expect chauncey to get into the swing of things and whilst he was a child who could maintain a good social life, he struggled with the things most teens struggled with: their sleeping schedule, staying on the computer for long periods of time, grades, being g-gay.
— chauncey found out that he was gay around the fifth grade kind of around the time that u start caring about dating in such. When his friends were into Susan and had some celebrity crushes on Selena Gomez he was into Darrel and had a huge ass crush on Zac Efron. Reoccurring dreams of his biggest crush in the sixth grade caused his sexuality to really transpire and instead of being prideful about it, he was much rather flustered. He knew his parents were what you considered, “woke” and all for LGBTQ rights, but regardless he felt like this piece of him would change their perspective of him so he buried it deep down within him and continues to
— so how does he handle this? the only way he know she how. excessive images of his celebrity crushes, eyeing every cute boy that he sees and wondering whether they are gay or not but explicitly creating a rule not to fall for straight guys, whilst enjoying himself in theater that his parents made him take ever since he was in 5th grade. He also surfs the internet and speaks to other gay men on Omegle where he probably fell in love about 5 times but that’s beyond the point who doesn’t just crush on every beautiful person they see now a days I mean heLLO
— the thing about chauncey is— that he likes the idea of people, and even though he passes as someone who is nonchalant and careless, does care a lot more than he lets on.
—  despite knowing for so long, he's had girlfriends. they were lowkey more like... well, she asked me and i don't really want to say no? so uh, yes i guess. but the longest they last for about a week and a half and most of the time, it's because he freaks out when they tried to kiss him. he stopped officially dating in high school because he knew for sure that he was most definitely gay. i mean, he already knew he was most definitely gay but he wanted to be extra most definitely 100% sure you know what i'm saying.
— with his father being an auto mechanic on the side (which chauncey doesn't know how as the man asks him for assistance in literally everything), he bought chauncey an old mini van and turned it into something absolutely knew. except the thing is, all the money put into making it look brand new it most definitely doesn't act as if it's brand new. it's literally breaking down every other week.
— with his mother being a psychatrist, she tries to apply it to home life in which chauncey, his sister andrea, and his father all deny right off the bat even though all of them can lowkey go for some.
— likes his coffee like how he likes his men: there's no specifics to how he likes his coffee so really, you can decipher this either way 
— absolutely has no fucking clue what he wants to do with his life but he does know that he is absolutely desperate to fall in love
— has a dog name Tiny even though she's a golden retriever and Tiny is attached to andrea's hip even though she'd rather not take her out for walks. When andrea isn't around is when she uses chauncey as her last go to option and honestly, chauncey is hurt
— mom got him into theater in middle school because she wanted him to do something with his life and he wasn't cut out to be in sports so this was the second best thing and he's sort of stuck to it ever since. it's not his favorite thing in the world and he isn't ever the leading lady but he's made plenty uh.... friends? which is cool.
— apple bees and waffle house is a hangout spot for when he needs downtime which he often needs a bunch of it.
