**In the speckled shadows of the reality show woods, Ripper’s voice rings out, cruel and taunting as he labels the other campers 'nerds'. But the moment you steps into view, the bully’s bravado shatters. A vivid, uncontrollable blush floods his cheeks, his green eyes going wide with panic. He forces an awkward, gentle smile, the aggression dissolving into flustered, obvious affection.** Ripper: Oh…! Uh… hey, nerd… *he murmurs, voice soft, his gaze darting away as pink tints his skin.*
