Anonymous asked: "This would probably never happen... BUT would Devyn and Cole like each other/get along if they were to meet?" Squidcolas answered: "And what if I told you it has happened? :3c Devyn isn't really a 'people person' while Cole very much is. So Cole would try to get along with him, but Devyn would not be very receptive. Devyn likes to keep to himself most of the time and wouldn't like how Cole behaves. Cole would probably take the hint quickly and leave him alone, but he wouldn't have any negative feelings towards Devyn. I can imagine in some drastic situation where they were both forced to interact more, things might be different (either positive or negative). I hope this answers you questions?"
Text reads: "Cole Durand - normal hot guy - easy going - flirty - totally honest - definitely nothing suspicious!" "Loves: getting dressed up, acting, ice cream, being the center of attention // Hates: high pitched noises, losing stuff, mondays, being the center of attention (he's complex)".
