michael trevino & he&him/cis male ‷ watch out , mateo cortez has crash-landed into roswell !! they look thirty-five and celebrate their birthday on the thirteenth of april. they are from roswell, new mexico reside in tripp’s trailer park and are currently working as animal caretaker at puhlman’s ranch. one thing you should know about them is they fully believe hollywood is made up of clones. ‷ 

tw: caution! this intro contains mentions of drugs and cartel activity

mateo cortez was born into a family that always seemed to have a lot of money, but up until he was older, he never did know why exactly that was. lucky for him, or unlucky depending on how you viewed it, he became the spark of his dad’s eye. anything he wanted his dad  would make sure he had it.

the older mateo got the more he began to see the world around him for what it really was…just a pretty picture. his father was one of the main bosses for a  latin cartel; the man was in charge of both transporting drugs and weapons to and from mexico.

he grew up with beautiful things around him, sure, but he also saw a lot of the bad things this world had to offer. he saw what happened to anyone who crossed his father,  he saw how his mother, despite loving his father dearly, felt more trapped than happy in the marriage she was in. it all taught him a lot of things, but most of all, it taught him that no matter what he always had to be true to his heart in the end.

he doesn’t really date much and if he does it’s mainly because he is forced by his parents to give things a chance with said person for whatever reason. he always tells people to take his public relationships with a grain of salt but people never listen and always assume he’s just either scared of commitment or easily swayed from his partners. truth was, he didn’t have the heart to accidentally tangle someone up in his mess of a life. 

he’s only ever had one ex that he’s held dear to his heart, but his father hated them. as a result he wasn’t able to make the relationship last, but it’s one he looks back on fondly. (wc soon to be posted)

he’s fun spirited, sarcastic for days, and loves dark colors. however, despite his love for the paranormal and creepy, christmas is his favorite holiday and halloween comes close second.

despite the fact that his father does expect mateo to fill his shoes after he passes, mateo tries to stay as far away from that life as he possibly can. he’s currently been a animal caretaker at puhlman’s ranch for about two years now and he doesn’t see himself wanting to really leave the position. he loves caring for the animals, helping them deliver their babies, tending to them when they are sick, and all he wants is to continue doing that for the rest of his days. 

his sexuality is uncertain to him. he’s never really known that part of him. on one hand he understands his father wants him to eventually have his own kids and settle down so as to carry the family name on and on the other hand mateo himself isn’t too sure he’s looking to have the family his dad quiet pictured in mind. he’s had a couple of boyfriends on the down low here and there, secret hook ups, but for the most part he tries not to overthink things. who knows, maybe he will end up with the perfect wife and life one day after all.
