* background info : 

trigger warning(s) :  cancer, terminal illness, parental death, depression .

born in manhattan, nyc to a world renowned neurosurgeon and his equally famed artist of a wife, blue had great expectations to live up to from the moment he first opened his eyes to the world. 

his father was rarely home  ---  always busy performing life saving surgeries  ---  so it was usually just blue and his mother. he adored her, and she adored him right back. even with his father’s frequent absence, blue had a fulfilling childhood and grew up very loved. he never had anything missing in his life.

( tw cancer, terminal illness, death )  things changed when blue was fourteen and his mother was diagnosed with stage four ovarian cancer. it was basically a death sentence, and the whole family knew it. despite it all, his mother continued to persevere with gracious radiance and unrelenting happiness that blue admired very deeply. she passed away four short months after her diagnosis ( end tw ).

( tw death, depression ) needless to say, his mother’s passing was hard on the entire family. blue idolized her, and now she was gone. it hit him really, really hard. but the worst part was his father... overcome with grief, he turned into a hermit. he was finally home, but at what cost ?  the depression was all-consuming, and more often than not, blue was left to take care of himself and his father ( end tw ).

he had to grow up rather quickly in order to sustain himself and keep his dad going. blue was a very independent fifteen year old; he learned that he couldn’t really rely on anybody but himself, and he’s carried that with him ever since. eventually, his father would return to work, but he buried himself in it. obsessing over his job was the only thing that kept his father’s mind off of his late wife, so he dove in head first. blue hardly saw his father after that  ---  only short glimpses and quick calls to ask ( hopefully ) if he’d be home for dinner for once. ( he never was ).

life was pretty dull for blue after that. he remembers it mostly in fragments, but they almost always hurt, so he doesn’t try to search for anything more. he’d eventually move out at eighteen to attend yale and get his bachelor’s degree in biochemistry. deciding that he needed a fresh start on the west coast, blue would apply to numerous phd programs and settle on evergreen university in san francisco. he’s been here for about a year now working towards his doctorate in biochemistry, where his research involves finding a way to detect ovarian cancer earlier to increase chances of survival.
