Chapter Text
- Not super talkative
- Will text you constantly though
- 98% of the time afraid to touch you bc he doesn’t want to hurt you
- When he does speak it’s shockingly eloquent
- Highkey nervous to show you his scars, he’s glad the two of you met in winter so he has an excuse to always cover up
- By the next summer though you two are so in love he’s not even afraid to go to the beach with you
- He tells you at the beginning that he has a condition, and just underwent a highly experimental surgery, but doesn’t say more about it
- You don’t actually find out until some of the stitching comes undone in his shoulder and he can’t make it to the doctor and
- “please I’m sorry I know it’s gross and if you never want to see me again afterward I understand I just need help”
- You nod and quietly set to work, fixing up his shoulder as neatly as you could.
- “Doesn’t the needle hurt?” He shakes his head.
- When it’s all finished you tie it off, press a careful kiss to the new stitching, and rest your forehead on him with a sigh
- He reaches out to you tentatively, the light touch of his hand clearly an apology
- “It’s okay, you just scared me a little. I thought.. I thought I might lose you”
- His arms pull you tightly to him then, and you don’t want him to ever let go
- LITERALLY ALWAYS HUNGRY.
- He’s always very polite about it and will often bring over food to make up for it but if you have anything in there that you’re unsure if you’re gonna eat it’s going in his mouth ok. A lot of times he doesn’t even care if it tastes good he’s just so hungry.
Bonus headcanons from floral-and-fine (this was one in several asks and reblogs so that's why it looks weird.)
- Frankenstein Matt does all sorts of skin care things, like he has this long before bed routine. He just worries since technically his skin was dead. He gets really excited over new products and all his work and care has really paid off cause he has the softest skin.
- The most exfoliated and moisturized when will your fave ever.
- He’s also tried every scar cream on the market to minimal success, but you reassure him with kisses and cuddles that you don’t mind his scars one bit.
- Needing to look up everything, like how to show that you like someone. Like one day, he keeps just shooting his hand out towards you. The first time you shake it having no idea what he's trying to do. Next time, you chalk it up to him just being awkward with his movements. Poor Matt is getting frustrated because all he wants to do is hold your hand and from what he read all he has to do is offer it. However, during a walk you grab his, and he's so happy!
- He’s relearning how to be a person and he’s! So bad! at it!
- I also thought about like him figuring out how to kiss… And you find it a tad strange at first that he intently watches kissing couples, but he’s just trying to figure out how it’s done. Like how to tilt his head just right, but poor boy is kinda uncoordinated…
- He’d also be quite self conscious about were to put his hands when kissing you, poor lad would probably just have his arms straight by his sides at first.
