WHEN I LOOK IN THE MIRROR
KURT
Kurt had gotten out of the shower and had FINALLY finished drying himself, because of all the fur it always took longer than it normally would someone else.
He was finishing drying off his face and was smoothing the fur down, it was either that or have it all fuzzy looking, and if bad hair from bead head was bad think how a face covered in fur could be like.
He stared for a second into those yellow eyes of his.
He hated how he looked, he was even a little ashamed of it.
Everyone looked so normal, yet whenever he looked into any mirror it always would remind him that he would never be normal, that people would always see the 'freak' first and not the person.
He remembered when he was little and his parents first explained why he was so different from the others, why the other children always ran away frightened of him. He had cried himself to sleep that night.
Sometimes he still did.
He didn't blame them they were just scared. There were times when he would prayed to God to make him normal, and had dreamed of it so much that it hurt.
Then he got sent to Xavier's and got the watch that allowed him to looked normal for the first time in his life. That was one of the happiest days in his life, for the first time he went out side without any fear and enjoyed every minute of it.
He remembered how at night he thanked God for answering his prayers he remembered he fell asleep that night with tears of joy instead of sadness.
But it was all an illusion, fake. This was the real him and that would never change, he thought as he looked back into the mirror.
He remembered how Kitty had treated him, how she was so scared of him. He had a crush on her at the time, he had gotten over it and now she was her best friend and wouldn't change that for the world.
But it still hurt.
Then there was Amanda. The thought of her made him smile.
She saw though all the blue fur, the yellow eyes, the fangs and the tail and saw the real him inside.
She cared for him not because of his looks (although she had stated that she found him cuter out of the hologram) but for his soul.
He was so happy to have a girl like her in his life, he never thought he would find someone who would care for her like she did. And he felt the same, she was so caring and kind, and beautiful.
He was at his happiest when she was around.
His life my never be normal, HE may never be normal, but maybe normal is overrated.
Being here at the Institute was the greatest thing that had happened to him, and he was so glad to be here.
