Is it wrong? That's the question I woke up asking myself this morning. Is it wrong to rebel against your family and friends even though it's for the greater good? That happened to me. What was this hannis crime that I had committed that would cause my uncle, my best friends, and even my own brother to turn away from me? The answer: I fell in love.
Is it wrong of me to love an enemy? One who does evil by day and lurks in the shadows to hide his face from the world at night. One who knows pain inside and out unlike my allies. One who has suffered for failing to kill because of self-consciousness? My friends would think so.
Is it wrong of me to want him? To want him to be with me every night like he always is, lying next to me; loving me like no one else can? Is it wrong of me to accept his desire to have me and only me? Is it wrong of me to enjoy how he loves me unconditionally and hopes one day he'll propose marriage to me?
Is it wrong of me to protect him? To protect him from an abusive owner, who's also my uncle, who beats him mercilessly for failure? To let him hold me at night and let him feel safe and know that no one will ever hurt him while he's with me?
Is it wrong of me to see past his outer shell and see who he really is? To see that he's hurting on the inside and only wants someone to love and accept him for who he is. Is it wrong of me to be the only one who doesn't see him as a monster? Who only sees someone who's suffered physical and emotional abuse and needs someone to comfort him?
Is it wrong of me to let him touch me lovingly as we lie together in bed every night? To feel him gently run his fingers over my body, feeling and knowing me as our lips move with each other's? Is it wrong of me to tell him that I love him? To let him know that he can trust and love me always. He repeats the same words to me in a tone of quiet lovingness as he kisses me.
Is it wrong of me to go against my friends and brother and be with him? To know that they despise him, but still find the audacity to have this unfightable love for him?
Is it wrong? Is it wrong of me to be in love with this Dark Turtle? This clone of DNA taken from one of my best friends and genetically altered into something greater than the original? To be the only one who even dares to show him any form of love whatsoever? To be the only one who isn't scared but feels protected around him?
Is it wrong?
Is it wrong of me to be in love with Dark Leonardo?
