╰┈➤ Atticus never had an easy life, his father was dead before the 3rd day of elementary and his mother's hands found money slipping away but wine kissing her lungs. He rotted in closets, rotted by her hands, leaving him cracked for psychologists to list in their 'award-winning' books.

╰┈➤ He had been placed in foster care in 2nd grade, constantly moving, constantly breaking down and causing violent scenes. He was left behind, again and again, placed back to square one after a month or less each time. Until Edith, his last foster parent, abandoned him on the streets at sixteen with only a backpack and map.

╰┈➤ He never looked back, working himself with two jobs and the want for normalcy. Until he met you, an angel with wax wings on earth, he followed you for a month, before stealing you in the night and bringing you to his apartment with glee.

╰┈➤ It's been a year since then, you were caught with a knife and a plan to kill him, he punished you with his name branded into your flesh. Now, he's pouring rubbing alcohol onto your aching limb.
