okay I misread something but I actually really like it now. Kylo as a fruit bat. Like he's a fruit bat human hybrid or something but he looks really scary so he's become something of a local legend.

Hux is a biologist with a side hobby into cryptozoology and hears about this
weird mothman type thing that comes into people's backyards at night and leaves things a mess. He decides to go out and find it.

When Hux actually stumbles upon Kylo he realizes that in the dark and stuff Kylo looks scary but all Kylo really wants to do is eat papayas and vibe.
Sometimes a family can be a British biologist living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere West Virgina with his pet cat and his monster boyfriend who can inhale 8+ mangos in less than an hour and likes the moon
kylo can pass for human if he folds his wings back and wears a very baggy hoodie. people just assume he's unreasonably tall and goth. his hands and feet are clawed but again, goth. his teeth are actually really sharp. hux knew it was helpful for actual bats to have sharp
teeth but he couldn't figure out how it could be useful to kylo.

then he saw kylo carrying watermelons in each arm and an entire cantaloupe in his mouth.

the amount kylo eats is ridiculous but hux did the math and kylo, for his weight, is really only consuming a fourth
of his body weight daily. hux knows certain bats can eat twice their body weight daily. the mere thought of kylo eating 400 pounds of fruit per day makes hux’s wallet hurt.

kylo eats other stuff too but he eats majority sweet things. when hux starts introducing him to other
stuff kylo takes a particular liking to starburst and hawaiian punch. kylo eats some protein as well but it's very little. he can't eat grains without getting sick. they just say kylo is gluten free.

the more hux spends with kylo the more hux picks up on stuff. kylo has
exceptionally good eyesight but he doesn't do the whole echolocation thing. when hux asked about it kylo just gave him a weird look.

"...apples don't move and also I have opposable thumbs."

hux supposes that's as good of an answer as anything else. kylo teaches hux how to
use clicks to navigate in the dark and it's actually doable.

kylo also has an almost terrifyingly long tongue. it completely throws hux off before they realize that it is extremely useful for...activities.

speaking of activities hux never thought he'd be glad bat dicks aren't
ridiculously different from human dicks. kylo is at least normal in that area, though he is longer than average.

kylo also really likes oral. hux is a biologist, not a bat expert. so he assumes it's specific to kylo. hux does a little googling and figures out that apparently
this is also another weird bat thing.

kylo doesn't hibernate during the winter but he gets really sluggish and spends a lot of time sleeping. another thing hux has noticed that he honestly thinks it's super adorable is that kylo usually gains weight in the late fall.
he gets chubby and soft and is very huggable. he hardly eats at all during the winter and by march he's usually lost it again.

that's probably the least human thing about him that hux has noticed. beyond that pretty much everything else can be more or less explained away.
they were in the grocery store once and these teenagers were whispering to eat other and freaking out over kylo’s teeth. hux was terrified about the possibility of something happening to kylo but they just pestered kylo about where he got them because they assumed he had
them custom made and wore them for the aesthetic. people assuming kylo is goth has saved their ass more than once.

kylo is very awkward around people so hux has to teach him social dos and don'ts. most of the time kylo gets too nervous and just stands behind hux silently
with his hood up, staring at whoever hux is talking to. people are aware of who they are cause they're both distinctive and it's a small town.

'the ginger brit and his shy goth boyfriend.'

kylo’s wings are very warm and he can hang upside down. kylo explains that flying
is actually kind of a problem because he's so big he can't maneuver through dense forest areas but if he gets above the canopy the air is usually too thin for kylo to keep going for a long time. also people freak the fuck out when he does.

he's very active. kylo goes on runs
often and once hux asks about how much he ran today expecting a normal number like 4 miles.

"oh, 15 miles today. I took it easy."

sometimes kylo’s quirks aren't that great. kylo has a really good sense of smell but it means he's really sensitive to scents. hux can't
use overly scented stuff because it gives kylo an awful headache.

hux knew kylo had good eyesight but his brain hadn't processed that kylo’s eyes would look different. one of the first times they spent the night together hux got up in the middle of the night
to use the bathroom. came back to the bedroom half asleep only to see a giant, looming, clawed, mass with two bright white eyes just *staring* at him.

hux doesn't remember anything after that besides waking up on the floor with kylo fretting over him and apologizing endlessly.
apparently he had given hux enough of a scare that hux had fainted.

it takes hux a bit to get used to it. kylo is pretty good about verbally letting hux know he's there when it's dark so hux doesn't have a heartattack but sometimes he forgets and scares the shit out of hux.
