Kurumi wanted to be normal. Well, as normal as any witch or wizard could be.
Kurumi thought that maybe she had miscommunicated herself with Kennedy - she was still terrible with sarcasm and all that. "I don't want to be seen as a freak..." she mumbled. Which would probably mean that the first things Kennedy was going to respond with was something along the lines of but your ability doesn't make you a freak or you should be celebrating the gift you were given...but it was hard to do so when most of your life you were told that standing out and not following the norm was a horrible thing.
Her mother still looked at her with labeling eyes as well.
"I've...always wanted to be normal. To not be something different from everyone else. Being...THIS...it...makes me different from wirzards like you...or Treyen, or Selena."
"Sorry," he apologized when he saw her flinch. Maybe his compliment was a bit over the top. Kennedy's eyes briefly looked up. He had curly hair, but didn't wish to have straight hair, but then that was because his mom has curly hair and...the man that is half responsible for creating him has straight hair. But, he knew what Kurumi meant by that. Merlin knows he's always wished to have things that he couldn't.
Before he came up with another question to ask, Kurumi said something that hit home. His head snapped up, locking eyes. He's said that same line for years. Ever since he found out about magic. How strange was the world? For almost six years all he wanted to be was normal and not the freak his muggle classmates used to call him. A freak that he believed himself to be.
He let out a soft chuckle that held no amusement in it.
"You don't now how familiar I am with that statement," he said. "
Back home I'm known as the 'freak'." He made air quotes at the word freak. He didn't know why he was telling her this. Maybe to comfort her? Or, because he'd never met anyone with the same fear as him?
