And the rain keeps falling
Zoro sat in the airport, watching the rainy night out the window idly. His flight wasn't supposed to leave for a good while, and Zoro was bored. Watching planes in the lot wasn't very interesting, and Zoro's phone was dead. He began to stare at his own reflection, mismatched eyes staring back at him. The one on the right, a piercing silver, belonged to him. The one on the left, a warm brown, belonged to his soulmate.
The story was that if you met your soulmate's eyes and both each recognized them to be yours, you would both gain your own eye back. A few of Zoro's friends had found their soul mates already, but Zoro had yet to meet his own.
Zoro's attention was drawn from the window as a flight nearby finished up boarding the final passengers. It was only the stragglers left, who had to hurry lest they be left behind. Zoro looked around at the people boarding the flight, before meeting the eyes of another man. He looked to be not much younger than Zoro, wearing a red vest and straw hat. He had black hair and a scar under his left eye. And that's when Zoro noticed his eyes: the right a warm brown and the left a piercing silver.
They were the same. The same eyes Zoro himself possessed.
The other man gasped, and then Zoro was looking at two big, warm, brown eyes. He knew it, too. He recognized his own eyes in Zoro's gaze. Zoro stood up. He had to know who this person was. That was his soulmate.
"Hey!" Zoro yelled, beginning to walk over to the man.
Can you hear me calling?
He looked like he was going to reply when another man, not much older than Zoro, grabbed his arm and said something to him that Zoro couldn't hear.
"Hey, wait!" Zoro yelled again. He began to walk faster as the man, his soulmate, was pulled by the other person onto the plane. Zoro tried to follow, shoving a few people out of the way.
"Wait a minute!" Zoro yelled. Another man wearing the airport security uniform stepped in front of him, effectively stopping him in his tracks and blocking Zoro's view of his soulmate.
"Do you have a ticket?" he asked.
"No, but I nee-" Zoro started.
"Then please step out of the way."
"But-" Zoro started again, trying to look over the guard's shoulder, but the guard didn't care.
"You will either move or be removed, sir." he said. Zoro was about to protest when another guard ran over.
"Is he giving you any trouble?" she asked.
"He was just leaving." The first guard replied, looking Zoro in the eyes.
Zoro wasn't about to leave just yet, but the attendant announced the flight doors were closing and the plane would depart. Zoro stared at the doors.
He'd missed his chance.
With every minute now, the memories of you are fading.
Zoro had been sitting on his plane home for an hour now, staring out the window. He could barely see anything outside, though. It was dark, and Zoro had been placed next to the wing. All Zoro could really see was his own reflection.
Two silver eyes stared back at him.
Zoro tried to recall the face of the soulmate he'd only seen for a few seconds. There had been a scar under one of his eyes, but which one? He'd had a… yellow shirt on? Or was it a red one? Or was it his hat that had been yellow? Zoro had been so entrapped in the man's eyes he had barely looked at the rest of him. He regretted it now. How was Zoro supposed to find him if he couldn't recognize him?
….How was Zoro supposed to find him at all?
The face was fading, but it was one face Zoro would never want to lose.
It leaves me with a question…
Zoro had so much he wanted to know. He hadn't been able to find out where the man's flight had been heading, and even then there was no way for Zoro to know wether he lived there or not. Zoro had no idea how he was supposed to find him again, either. He knew next to nothing about the man, other than that he had brown eyes. Zoro wanted to know what he was like. Zoro wanted to know what he did for fun, what his smile looked like, what his ideals were, and just who exactly his soulmate was.
But Zoro mainly just had one question.
Where are you now?
There will be more to come! I hope you enjoyed! And remember: reviews are radical, and follows and favorites are fabulous!
