(Reader's P.O.V.)

For as long as I can remember I've been called a monster. Anybody who looks at me says as such. My skin was always covered in strange (F/C) colored blemishes and the whites of my eyes are an ugly (S/C) color. Not that I personally minded the colors, that's just how everybody else saw them. Then one day I met the person who would later become my mom. See I lived in an orphanage, a terrible orphanage. She was there as a volunteer, although that was just the cover story. Truth was she was actually a government agent. She was actually there for a mission and she ended up walking away with me in tow. She calls me her most precious treasure in her collection and treats me like a princess. I should mention she has a roommate. Yes, a roommate. And he can be a real grump at times, especially when he hasn't had coffee beans. "Hon, you all good? You've been staring into space for a good while." "I'm fine, Mama, just thinking about the past..." The white bat, whom I refer to as 'Mama', gives me a smile and nods in understanding. "Rouge, where the hell did you put the dark roast?" My mama's grumpy roommate grumbles in annoyance and slams shut a cabinet he was searching through. "Should be in the same cabinet as the tea." He grumbles again and lo and behold there are his coffee beans. He pours some into a bowl like it's cereal. "What's your plans for today, (Y/N)? Need me to drive you somewhere?" "I'm good, I'm actually meeting up with Sonic today. I think I've finally worked up the courage to tell him how I feel." "He breaks your heart and I'm breaking his legs..." He shovels a bunch of coffee beans with a spoon, a deadpan expression on his face. I hurry up and eat my own breakfast of (F/F) and some (F/D) to wash it down. Afterward, I work really hard to tame the (H/C) eldrich being attached to my head. I didn't know having (H/L) hair would be so difficult... Maybe it's my curse's fault... I look into the mirror. A human covered in strange blemishes and (E/C) eyes with the (S/C) sclera stares back at me. "I can do this..." I close my eyes and work up my courage in front of the mirror before leaving the room and making my way to the front door. "Have a good day princess!" I hear my mama shout as I exit the apartment. I head down to where I'm supposed to meet up with Sonic. I'm a bit of a bundle of nerves... Anxiety creeping up as I hear passersby whisper in hushed tones about my physical appearance. I make it to the park without much incident though I feel myself beginning to unravel... "Yo, (Y/N), you made it. Have any trouble on the way here?" "Besides the staring and the whispers, not really..." I find myself absently scratching at the blemishes on my arm. "So, what did you wanna talk about? You said you had something important to tell me." I take a deep breath and hope my courage doesn't leave me at such a crucial moment. "You see the truth is I-" "Wait. Umm... I think I know where this is going and I like you but not like that... I'm sorry."
