Void Bois with Scars

Warnings: Implied trauma, physical harm, implied self harm

An idea I had for a bit, I tried to make it as vague as possible so you could insert what kind of scars they'd be. I'm not sure if I succeeded much on that, but hope I did.

Btw, know that you are stronger than you realize. Even if its something small and stupid that keeps you going, if its just for one more day. You're incredible for it, and people (friends, family, even your pets) in your life are proud of you. Keep going, even if its just "one more day".

Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath never really questioned, much less wondered about why you hid parts of your body.

Did it seem impractical or stupid to wear clothing during the hottest summers in this world? Absolutely and he'd point it out.

It's not exactly gentle when he points it out, he's not intending to be rude or cruel about it. He legit doesn't understand why you're deliberately inconveniencing yourself- or worse harming yourself just to hide your body.

It's not like you're wearing armor or something needed for your survival, and if you are he'd point out how what you're wearing on top of it is not helping.

You'd end up telling him because he was this close to shredding the clothes you used to hide your body, he wasn't going to keep letting you do this to yourself.

He wasn't happy, not at you for your scars or hiding that from him.

He was furious at whatever put you in this situation. Someone who pushed you to this point, whatever circumstance that lead to you getting these scars. He hated it.

You were his solace in this world, whenever the harsh sun started to hurt or his hunger became too unbearable, you brought a calmness into his life that remind him of home. Which is ironic.

Whatever harmed you deserved to be devoured at best. Even if it was yourself, whoever made that an option to you deserved to be eaten.

Your distress for him to not lash out and insistence that it was fine is what made Cho'Gath relent on his rampage. But he promised you that he was not going to let you continue on this path of yours.

You're the only thing that stands between him and devouring the world, and he was going to return the favor by being the only thing that stands between you and death.

Because if Death was edible, he'd do it in a heartbeat for you to keep you in his life.

Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix would notice particular mannerisms that most people don't do normally with you. Specifically he would know you're hiding something from him.

He wouldn't bring it up, because if you're making an effort to hide it you'd most likely avoid telling him or lie about it.

He'd try and find the truth on his own, which is basically stalking you until he sees what you're hiding from him.

When it turns out to just be scars he's confused.

For him, scars are something to be proud of- especially as a hunter. It shows you've survived the worse and prevailed.

Kha'Zix doesn't exactly have much grace in approaching the topic, so he'd just walk up and confront you about why you hid the scars from him.

Naturally you'd wonder how the hell he found out, before remembering the damn mantis can go invisible and has the capabilities of being an unhinged stalker if he wanted to be.

It's still upsetting none the less he went out of his way to find out what you were hiding from him, since the scars remind you of dark periods in your life.

When you two do talk it out, and you explain that the scars aren't...exactly something to be proud of. He both understands and doesn't understand.

Seeing just talking about it upsets you, he relents on the questioning for now and just focuses on making the scars change from something negative to positive.

You still survived something awful, regardless of origin.

Kha'Zix would spend more time with you afterwards, giving you his company and attention to ensure you know he cares and wants to make sure you're safe.

He isn't the best at comforting, and he knows it. But he wants to improve it for you.

Vel'Koz

Vel'Koz also takes notes on your unique behaviors and mannerisms in hiding parts of your body.

He however would outright ask on these behaviors. But when he points out lies or faults in your answers, and you tell him you're just not ready to tell him the truth he will relent.

He will wait for however long it takes for you to be comfortable enough to confide in him.

He will actually provide alternatives to your choice of coverings depending on season/weather, because wearing turtlenecks in summer is not ideal.

Honestly he started to piece together what you were hiding from him after a point, from certain keywords in conversations, similarities in behavior to those who have physical and mental harm, common places where you've covered your body.

He still chose to wait until you came up to him and personally tell him that you were hiding your scars.

How you're ashamed of them, what they represent, wish you could get rid of them, wish you never went through that trauma.

Vel'Koz is a very analytical and logical Voidborn, his whole existence is nothing more than to observe and learn the world he's cross into. Emotions are not wired into his birth.

But this brought an unfamiliar feeling in him, something akin to being physically hurt yet wasn't actually harmed.

His comforting was...awkward. But it surprisingly worked. It was basically him going over definitions and studies over trauma, and following it up that your survival, perseverance and continued existence is a testament to your strength.

Vel'Koz will do whatever he can to help ensure you don't slip up and fall back into negative habits, or break your streak of being clean.
