"i'm a prisoner to my addiction.
i'm addicted to a life,
that's so empty and so cold."

malachi salvador, a seventeen year old boy addicted to all the wrong things. he's quiet, timid, an awfully good listener and silent reader. he enjoys reading people, specifically. he likes to read the small crinkles under a person's eyes, the wrinkles around their furrowed eyebrows, and the curves on their lips. he likes to look into a person's eyes, and completely break them down, piece by piece, touching and memorizing each broken shard of their existence. then, skillfully puts them back together like a puzzle. gender means nothing to him, personality means much more. he doesn't fall in love easily, and has horrendous commitment issues. but if he cares for you, he would show you in his own special way.
