Fight or Flight - Oc Animatic

Instructions

Back with another project from scratch user @RighteousCrucifer !! Welcome to my animatic! To start the animation press the space bar. [TWS] Brief mentions of death [Ocs] Cyrus (Guy holding his hand up) - He/Him Orin (Guy with other person) - He/Him Other person (Blank person) - Any/All, they don't matter for the story, until I make a direct character for it. [Story shortened] Childhood friends meet again and realize they are in love, but have no way to say it. [Further Context] Cyrus and Orin as children were best friends, inseparable from the very start, at least they thought. However, they drifted apart as they got into their teens and soon lost each other and their friendship for good. As Orin went on to make new friends in a new place, Cyrus ran into trouble and he did things he wasn't proud of. And yet, even separated, both thought of each other a lot, always wondering what the other was doing despite the gap between the two. Now grown-ups, they met again, but they are different, if for Orin only in small ways. But Cyrus is almost a different person, realizing his sexuality and trying to work over past experiences he's had with horrible relationships (Partnerships and friendships). When they meet once more, Cyrus realizes his feelings for him finally, finding out that when they were children he'd liked him, but thinking it's too late and that Orin would not like him back. What he never knew is that Orin had liked him the whole time and never knew how to say it, always hoping he would never have to bring it up. And yet, even now as an adult, Cyrus can't say it with his overwhelming doubt and fear of having one of his past relationships repeat itself. Though the two are struggling with their feelings and pasts, they want to help each other and lift themselves up. Will their almost-forgotten friendship blossom into a good thing for the two? I'd say that's up to the reader for now. [Ending. Discussions to be had?] Well, that's it! I hope you enjoyed reading and learning about my silly little characters. Feel free to ask questions in the comments! [Extra] I see you still reading!! Well, if you're not leaving yet, let's chat about my ocs! I've had Cyrus for around 4 years now, he's really old. His story isn't really solid just yet as I'm not too confident in writing it all out, but he's still really important to me! And I love Orin too, though he's a newer member of the story, only being here for 3 years. Either way, he's my handsome little guy!! I've never really made an animation for these guys, but they are still always in my head floating around! I'm proud of this one and I hope it was decently enjoyable!
