Kurt and had gotten to know each other by coincidence. He had been in a cafeteria you worked in and you hit the chat, asking if he liked that sandwich because you had designed it - and for some reason you two had just clicked from just those few exchange of words. Soon you had found yourself sitting at the Xavier manor on his birthday, and got a bunch of new friends beside Kurt. But friendships between a human and a visible mutant weren't largely appreciated.

The first mistake was putting a picture of you and Kurt on Instagram. But you didn't think much of it, it was just a fling of a thought. You were one of Kurt's best friends, so when Jean had snapped a picture of Kurt giving you a piggy back ride and you both laughing, you didn't waste a moment. It was a beautiful picture, full of joy and mirrored the friendship between you two perfectly.

It didn't take much time before some humans found that picture, they told you that picture sickens them and that if you like mutants, why don't you find someone who looks decent. They called Kurt a monster. Some tried to defend you, but they were quickly silenced as more people flooded in, berating you and Kurt for being friends.

Your second mistake was not seeing the comments on time. Scott saw them first and had threatened to go teach those people a lesson, and you came to the scene as Jean held Scott back and tried to get him sit down, Jubilee was sitting beside Kurt and rubbed his back as he had covered his face with his hands and Peter was frowning as he browsed his phone, looking through the comments your picture had. Your heart felt like it dropped to your knees as you finally realized what was the scene about, and you frantically took out your phone and hid the picture from your feed before you sat beside Kurt and immediately wrapped your arms around him.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that... my picture could make people react like that. I should have known." you whispered in his ear and tightened your arms around him.

"I'm a monster." he muttered and your heart broke upon hearing it. "I shouldn't... I-"

"Hush." you stopped him before he even started and pressed your forehead against his temple. "Everything is okay now, I'm here, I'm here."

You sat there in silence and you took his hand in your own, just being there, helping Kurt to ease out his thoughts and realizing that those people didn't know you - they didn't know how kind and tolerant you were, taking everyone as they are, not caring how they look. You knew that the real beauty came from inside, and people who immediately judged by the cover were ugly themselves.

After a while, you felt Kurt's tail circling around you, finally accepting the comfort in you. You were one of the only people who cared for Kurt because of how he was, not caring how he looked. And soon Peter told you a few jokes, getting a few laughs out from both of you - and you republished the picture, editing a note saying that you're proud that you're able to see deeper than just the outside, and feel sorry for people who lack that ability - and hate weakened as you republished the picture. They didn't get to you after all, and that's the worst that could happen to a troll.

After that incident, Kurt finally realized that you weren't listening to anyone else than yourself with matters like that, that you genuinely cared about him and were ready to go through fire for your friends if needed. You cared about your friends, and they cared about you - and Kurt was incredibly lucky to have you as his friend.
