Ah, ChaseJack, my Xiaolin Showdown OTP. This is alot angstier than some of the others, but I've had this idea for ages and wanted to write it, and it finally worked out. It's based on a picture of mine on DeviantART- www. deviantart .com/deviation/ 35180522/ without the spaces.

Nothing to Hide
Jack Spicer knew what it was like to be alienated. His albino-white skin made him a prime target for wide-eyed stares, pointed fingers, and quiet muttering. As a child, before he began to dye his hair, it had been the same bland and listless white color as his skin, and he'd soon gotten sick of the looks of pity he received from adults and the rude stares from the other children. As soon as he was able, he had changed his hair color and ringed his red eyes with blacklines and designs. At least, this way, people alienated him because they thought he wanted to be. But it still hurt.
This was one of the reasons that he was so desperate for the company of his idol, Chase Young. The other man may have looked at him with annoyance or contempt many a time, but there was never utter exclusion or, god forbid, pity.
Little did he know that the reason for this was that Chase Young also knew what it felt like to be alienated. He knew how it felt to be laughed at by the other children, because of the femininity that he had long since grown out of. He had been stared at every time he tried to mingle among normal people because of the odd color of his eyes and shape of his ears. And though he relished in the horrified looks of those who had witnessed the terror of his true form, that fear divided everyone from him; the life of evil domination was a lonely one. His potion served the same purpose as Jack's makeup- to hide what made him different.
But Chase and Jack knew that there was no alienation among the alienated, and when they were with each other, there was nothing to hide.
