Dark
Kurt had always enjoyed the darkness. It had brought him a sense of comfort all his life to know there would always be shadows nearby to hide in. A hidden place away from the prying eyes of those who would run at his appearance. He'd been made and adapted to the night and its ways since birth with his dark coloring and cat like eyes. Where others were blind he saw as clear as day. Where others shivered at the night's cold he was wrapped in warming fur. He was defying a very basic human instinct. Dark represented things dangerous and shrouded. Humans sought out the light for the safeness it represented. Even if the safeness was only in their minds. It seemed wrong to be comforted by the thing they feared. It wasn't natural. It wasn't human. But the dark was his place and he'd always acknowledged that. Light left no place for concealment, no place to seek protection. It was better to hide, better to stay in his place, hidden by a trick of the light then to risk exposure. At least he thought that before he met Todd.
Todd had looked at him with only honesty in his eyes and said to him the way he was born was beautiful. The way he was born was the way he was supposed to be. Kurt was just so used to hiding. Not just his appearance, but his personality as well. A part of him was always afraid to get too close. Afraid to be more then the flirting prankster. Yet it was different with Todd. There was no point in secrets or hiding. Todd saw right through him without even trying. It was almost like another power of his. It was Todd that had pulled him into a pool of light beneath a lamp post and told him not to be ashamed. Not to hide in front of him. Todd loved what he saw and the dark only made it harder to see what Kurt was like naturally. To see the face he loved. The dark was the place where Kurt's abilities shined, but to his boyfriend the time spend in the dark had only made Kurt fear the light. They would hide in the shadows and darkness for now, but both liked to think that one day they would step out of the darkness and not have to hide.
I feel a little iffy about this one, any thoughts?
