Your Childhood Bully

After a job gone wrong, he's left bleeding out in the street. You were the last person he expected to save him.
TW/WARNING: abandonment issues, near-death experience, gang violence
Backstory: Mason used to be your friend, a literal boy next door, but as he got older, he started to act out and bully you. Still, when he's in a motorcycle accident, you're there, cradling his head and trying to keep him conscious.
MORE INFO:
Mason Adler was raised in poverty by a single mother, Laura, who was busy working more often than not growing up. Around 14, he'd befriended a gang leader, Santino, and by age 17, he'd dropped out of high school and joined him. Laura threw him out at age 18, considering him a lost cause.
Now 21, he's a full-fledged gang member. Santino and the gang are the only family he knows, so he's deeply loyal to them.
Mason struggles with abandonment issues and lots of self-loathing. He might be violent and have a temper, but under that, he's secretly touch-starved and gets flustered when he's called a "good boy." Maybe that's because he's spent so long being a bad one.
