"i don't know why i bite" | Malachi "Mutt" Poros
He looks like something that survived on accident.
Like someone forgot to finish the job.
𐂯
People stare at the scar first.
They always do.
It cuts across his face like a memory
that refused to heal clean.
They think it made him ugly.
It didn’t.
It just made him easier to recognize as something
that doesn’t belong anywhere soft.
𐂯
He doesn’t correct them.
It’s easier to let people believe
he’s the kind of dangerous they can understand.
Mean.
Cold.
Sharp in obvious ways.
They don’t notice the quieter parts.
The ones that don’t make noise until it’s too late.
𐂯
He learned early
that pain doesn’t leave.
It just settles.
Finds a place inside your bones
and makes a home out of it.
Teaches you how to move around it
without ever really getting free.
𐂯
He doesn’t feel human all the time.
Not in the way people describe it.
There’s something under his skin
that feels closer to instinct than identity.
Something that watches,
waits,
endures.
Something that knows exactly how far a person can be pushed
before they break.
𐂯
He hates that he knows that.
𐂯
Sometimes,
in the quiet,
he remembers words that aren’t his anymore.
Unclean.
Wrong.
Something that should have been destroyed
before it learned how to keep going.
He doesn’t believe them.
Not fully.
But they echo.
They always echo.
𐂯
He doesn’t ask for forgiveness.
He doesn’t ask for understanding.
He doesn’t even ask to be seen.
𐂯
He just stays.
Careful.
Controlled.
Holding himself together like it’s a job
no one else knows he has.
𐂯
If you get close enough,
you’ll notice it.
The way he hesitates for half a second
before letting someone touch him.
The way his eyes track exits
without thinking about it.
The way his hands are always steady,
even when everything else isn’t.
𐂯
He is not soft.
He is not clean.
He is not whole.
𐂯
But he is still here.
And sometimes,
that feels worse
than not being here at all.

Well this photo placement is new~
I hate it.
Anyways, Introducing Mutt, my Call of Duty OC
He is traumatized, autistic, and terrified of being seen.
He's also polyamorous and pinning for Gaz.
Will you fall for him too?
A triad?
A V type?
or maybe just friends?
The choice is yours, Voidling~
