――――――――― HEADCANON #4.

Touch issues. Murphy doesn't like being touched and it stems from the traumatic experiences of his childhood. First, with being held back while his father was floated then when his mother was having a particularly 'bad' night after drinking too much. After her death, he was bullied and touched roughly until he started being snarly back and people stayed away from him. There is a fear now that correlates being touched with something devastating happening. It is nearly a mild form of haphephobia, which is a fear of touching and being touched.

Also, relating being touched with the pain and anxiety is a defence kind of mechanism to not think about and deal with the trauma he has faced, even more so now with what happened at the grounder camp for those three days. he just doesn't deal with any of it and a lot of what he faced on the ark is buried down deep and he just doesn't consciously remember it until someone gets too close and then he lashes out, feeling the panic he isn't fully aware of the root causes of.

This ties in with PSTD, which is posttraumatic stress disorder and something else murphy suffers with. It manifests in nightmares, anxiety and numbing to the events and such that caused the pstd in the first place. It developed after the grounder camp and has made him more volatile than he even was previously. It is another reason to keep people AWAY from touching him to ensure the flashbacks won't wash over him.

Bellamy loved his soul mate deeply. But it was hard being connected to Murphy like this. It seemed the other boy was always angry. And Bellamy had a hard time controlling both their tempers. Of course if he didn’t, they would likely both be in serious trouble. And Bellamy actually liked being in camp.

"So," he sighed as he found Murphy in their tent. "Who or what pissed you off this time?"

the whole c o n n e c t i o n thing wasn't at all romantic and if anything it only served to frustrate murphy more. he didn't like feeling much to begin with and NOW he had to deal with double the feelings. besides, bellamy was annoying with feeling EVERYTHING possible. how did one person have so many emotions.

gazing up, he gave a shrug of a shoulder. "kane is still giving me custodial work." seemed being bonded to bellamy didn't do much for his station in the group.

█ soulmates

YOU'RE NOT YOU WITHOUT YOUR OTHER HALF - FIND YOUR SOULMATE TODAY!

constantly, they were bombarded with propaganda about soulmates and about how finding the ONE was the most important thing possible. while most people bought into it, murphy did not. what use did he have for a soulmate?

( another person who would just l e a v e him ).

besides, he needed to keep solo to remain out of detection of the council and the guards who had discovered his mom. an underage orphan couldn't run around the ark solo but here he was doing that v e r y thing.

sneaking out from his hiding spot, murphy went to grab for a piece of bread when his wrist was grabbed. damn it. as their eyes met -

00:00:00 !!

the timer sounded overly loud in his ears, murphy's heartbeat pounding in his throat. his soulmate was a guard? what. or training guard, he looked pretty young.

others rushed over at the beeping sound, looking HAPPY. soulmates were revered and celebrated. but joyful looks weren't ones he was used to. weren't they going to lock him up? he was running around outside of the law but -

no, they were preparing the main room for the celebration, rambling about how his things would get moved along with bellamy's to new quarters. the 'claimed' sector.

bellamy. his soulmate was named bellamy.

he looked over at the guy who was STILL holding onto his wrist, right over the numbers.

"okay, grabby, i'm not going to steal anything else, you can let me go."

the guy gave him an odd look and then LAUGHED. he was not trying to be funny. he was trying to be -

he kind of had a nice laugh but NO. he refused to get sucked into this hysteria and oh my god there was food and BERRIES. he loved berries.

maybe having a soulmate wasn't all bad. the guy wasn't ugly either. that was a perk.

█ arranged marriage

the council decided it would be a good idea to pair off the delinquents with 'proper citizens' to try and integrate them back into society but it was all just a ploy to have more to send to the ground when the mission was ready.

they needed to see if earth was inhabitable, yes, but they also needed less people on the ark. no one but the council knew this OTHER objective, though.

announcement day came quickly, murphy snapping at anyone who got too close to him. this was the last thing he ever wanted but he didn't have much choice in the matter.

it was get paired up or die and he didn't really want to die yet.

when his name was called, he stumbled up to the stage, waiting for who the other name would be.

raven reyes - mechanic.

gross, she was going to be so ugly and - wow, okay, no. not ugly. not -

they were ushered off to a side room to 'get to know each other' and get their new housing assignment. "uh - so - tools, you must be good with your hands."

so smooth.
