                           BIOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING…

growing up he was exposed to;

Matthew Cornelius Morris Junior was born into conditions that would leave him riddled with anxiety and fear that the people closest to him would eventually leave him. His parents were what he calls a match made in hell, his father who he was named after, went to prison for armed robbery when the twins were 3 leaving them in the care of their irresponsible unstable, drug addled mother. Luckily for the twins, she had just enough smarts to drop them off with real adults before gunning it away her children, unfortunately the damage was already done. the twins despite being under proper caregiving now were crying nonstop, but unlike normal kids who would probably have colic- the kids were going through withdrawal from meth. Matt “sobering” transition went a lot smoother then his younger brother’s, watching Eli have to go in and out of hospitals because of heart condition due to the meth- made Matt upset and helpless that he couldn’t do much for his bro. Other than that though, the twins lived a relatively normal life, playing sports, being able to do normal boy stuff.

It was in 8th grade when they were granted back into the care of their mother, Matt felt uneasy the whole time- kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop. His mother slowly gained back his trust though and he was back to being the good little boy, until one day they came home from school and saw their mother on the floor. Matt had to perform CPR as he instructed Eli to call 911. Doing all he could do for his mom before the ambulance got there, the boys ran out of the house and hid away at a friend’s house to avoid having to see their mother carted away. It was then that the relationship between mother and son would never be fixed.

Overall- Matt grew up pretty happy, outside of his parents being the most unreliable people on the planet, he had his aunt, his uncle, and his grandparents who adore him because they don’t know he’s demisexual.

all about the family & their relationships;

Eli is Matt’s twin brother, their relationship is pretty solid. Womb to Tomb for real for real. No one is a bigger supporter for them then themselves, from sports when they were young to their career choices now. They do fight and bicker like sibs do, but overall they know they would always have each other’s back and that’s love dude.

Eevee is Matt’s wife, a marriage that Matt feels like benefited him more than her and he does his best to make it up to her. Matt believes Eevee could do way better than him and is just waiting for the day she asks for annulment because she met the right person for her. He is immensely proud of her and her career, he thinks she is the most adorable human ever and supports the hell out of her. Despite being technically single- he would rather show up to her place with a bottle wine and a dvd from the 5 dollar bin to spend the evening with his wife. He has never confessed that he might have real feelings for her because he is scared and values their friendship.

Auntie Jessica - raised them and Matt sees them more as a mother and father than his actual mother. she took care of them and he wants to do the same for her one day, he tries to give her money but she always rejects it.

Grandma & Grandpa - homophobic pricks that matt has mixed feelings about. they treat him very kindly because they don’t know about his sexual orientation but matt likes the idea of inheriting all their crap and giving half to bi as hell bro. suck pop pop and meemaw
