History:

An Easy Childhood
February 27, 1863Remy is born a third and final child to a couple who had not expected that they would end up with child once more. They have a heir, they have a daughter, both are doing rather well with making their parents proud so there is not a lot they expect out of Remy though they do love him just the same.
1864Remys sister gets married.
1870Remy is seven years old when he performs his first signs of accidental magic by causing the walls of his nursery to change colour.
1871Remys older brother gets married.
1863-1873The first years of Remys life are spent being coddled and spoiled by his parents and taking various swimming lessons. He also plays with childhood friends and all in all, his life is one of ease and fun.
Beauxbatons Years
1874-1875, First YearRemy goes off to Beauxbatons alongside most of his childhood friends. He is cheerful and friendly, making many new friends.
1878-1879, Fifth YearRemy is not made a prefect but that is no skin off his nose. He passes his fifth year with impeccable grades if one ignores his D in Defense Against the Dark Arts. This is the same year when Remy begins feeling attractions towards other boys.
1879-1880, Sixth YearRemy has his first flirtation that is more on the intense side with an older boy named Jacques Michaud. Someone else seems to catch the older boys interest more fully though as it soon ends. Even so, Remy found it thrilling and thinks back on it fondly. Besides, Remys own heart belongs elsewhere though he did not yet know it at the time.
1880-1881, Seventh YearRemy cannot help it, he finds his gaze following a fellow student named Mateo a little too much, a little too often. They had known one another for a while, being yearmates, but Remy comes to realize his own feelings are more than platonic. He tells no one, not even Helene, one of his closest childhood friends.
Adult Life
1881Remys parents basically tell him he is free to do as he likes when it comes to a career so long as it is not something that will shame the family. Of course, Remy finds work as an artist.
1882-1892Remys adult life after Hogwarts does not have much of note. He works as an artist, spends time with his family and believes himself to have gotten over his boyhood love. If his heart quickens and beats faster whenever Mateo is around, he chooses to ignore that. He is bold in many things but not when it comes to confessing love to someone he is unsure would take it well, let alone reciprocate. His friend Helene marries, becomes a mother and becomes a widow in 1890.
1893It is 1893 and Remy decides to join a summer intensive for artists and creatives in Italy. Helene comes too. So does Mateo. Remy also meets a woman named Irene that he basically takes hostage as his friend. He can commiserate with her reasons for coming to Italy though does not share with her his own story of long time unrequited love that he assumed to be a distant thing of the past. There is fun to be had over the summer along with his own personal drama.

One night, in late August, he comes to a terrible realization. Things are not of a distant past. He is still irrevocably, inconceivably, intensely in love with Mateo. Mateo, who seemed to have no idea. Mateo, who all so willingly danced with the women of their group but probably never would with him. And this time the feelings aren't of a youthful, childish nature as they had been when he first developed his feelings. They are now visceral, intense and mature; which he does not feel at all equipped to deal with.
