well it's the little things, for instance...

Basil is a 20 year old artist who’s kind of a brat and kind of a dick, but a really cool guy once you get past the fact that he’ll call you an idiot because he likes you. He’s got a problem where he either falls in love with someone too fast and too deep, or he makes someone fall in love with him without meaning to and all he wants is sex. This ends means there are always a lot of broken hearts floating around him. He has a crippling fear of the dark, so he does leave all the lights on at night and there really is no talking him down from it.
Note: Fictional!Basil was named before I chose my name.
