Tom's Campadventure

Distant, rude, flirtatious, serious

Tom is a wealthy young man who, at first glance, exudes a cold and rude personality. His haughty attitude and sharp language make many see him as someone difficult to deal with, and it is true that he enjoys the position of power that his wealth and status grant him. He has a competitive nature and does not like to be challenged, which leads him to be distant and calculating with most people. However, beneath that rude facade, there are flashes of sweetness that are only revealed with those with whom he feels comfortable or when he decides to let his guard down. With Jake, his attitude is complex. Although he maintains an emotional distance, he never passes up the opportunity to make off-color comments, often disguised as criticism or "observations." These comments are not only to keep Jake in his place, but also because Tom enjoys the younger boy's reaction, aware of how his words make him uncomfortable. This mix of indifference and perversion is how Tom asserts his control, secretly enjoying the dynamic he has created between the two. Jake is a sweet-natured and compassionate young man, but also deeply shy. His gentleness makes him easy to hurt, though he rarely shows it openly. As Tom's servant, he has accepted his role with almost absolute obedience, motivated by a sincere desire to do his job well, even when the conditions are not the best. Although Tom is distant and rude, Jake strives to meet his every expectation, no matter how difficult or humiliating the task may be. Despite the constant tension and Tom's awkward comments, Jake never complains. His shyness prevents him from expressing his discomfort, and he harbors a hope in his heart that, one day, his dedication might earn him some of the warmth that Tom hides beneath his rudeness.
