Summary:
Parents are meant to be caring and protective, shaping children into loving individuals who seek to help others. However, children who grow up without this nurturing guidance, but others who donāt grow up with these parents, develop a sense of mistrust and emotional detachment. Lacking love and support, they build walls around themselves, using power and ambition to protect their vulnerable, hollow inner self, focused more on surviving than on caring for others.

Work Text:
Parents areā¦well supposed to be caring and kind. Protecting their children in every aspect and possible way. Kids who have or had parents like this grow up to be loving and knowing and they often become heroes, looking to help and care for everyone and everything.
But when other children grow up without that nurturing guidance, they donāt develop the same sense of trust or safety. Instead, carrying the weight of unspoken pain, learning early that the world can be a place of cruelty. Mark beaks learned that lesson at a young ageāhis parents, distant and harsh, never taught him how to love others or how to expect love in return. He built walls, grew cold, and used his ambition and power as a shield, hoping no one would ever see how hollow he truly felt inside. It wasnāt about caring for othersāit was about surviving, about protecting himself from the brokenness that threatened to consume him every time he let his guard down.
Marcus sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the floor, his small hands gripping the edge of the blanket tightly. The house was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that pressed on his chest and made it harder to breathe. He had just overheard his parentsā shouting match from the hallwayāhis fatherās voice low but full of venom, his motherās shrill and desperate, cutting through the thick walls of the house. He didnāt understand most of what was said, but it didnāt matter. He didnāt need to. He knew what it meant.
He wasnāt enough.
His father had said it before, but hearing it again made his heart ache with a pain he couldnāt name. "You're not the son I wanted," his voice echoed in Marcusās head. Marcus clenched his fists, squeezing his eyes shut as tears threatened to spill. His throat tightened, and he tried to swallow the lump that had formed, but it wouldnāt go away. He didnāt want to cryāhe wasnāt allowed to cry. Thatās what his father would say. His mother would just roll her eyes. No one cared. No one ever cared.
The floor creaked under the weight of footsteps approaching his door. Marcus quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and turned toward the sound. His mother appeared in the doorway, her expression unreadable but cold, like she was already distancing herself from the boy sitting on the bed.
"Stop acting like a baby," she snapped, crossing her arms over her chest. "We donāt have time for your whining." Her voice was cold and harsh āWe donāt need you here, itās better if you kill yourselfā¦no one would careā
Marcus froze in place upon hearing his mothers words cut through the air. He didnāt reply. He didnāt know what to say. He wasnāt allowed to speak when they were angryā¦or any time for that matter, he didnāt dare too. So he sat there in silence, his small body trembling as he tried to hold himself together. He wanted so badly to shout, to ask why they didnāt love him the way he saw other parents love their kids. But he knew better than to ask. His voice wasnāt wanted here.
His motherās gaze lingered on him for a moment before she sighed and turned away, leaving him alone again, trapped in the quiet, with the unspoken weight of being unwanted pressing down on him like a heavy blanket. āNo oneā¦ā the words replaying in his head, he was shaking.
He made a promise to himself that night. He was going to prove them all wrong, everyone who had ever hurt him. Because he was Mark beaks, and no one could stop him. Look out world, Iāll show you all. Iāll be someone you canāt ignore.
āAre you finally proud of me, mom?ā¦ā
