Monochromatic
"I didn't mean it" Yui bowed once again "I'm really sorry"
"Even if you purposely did it or didn't, it doesn't matter" the callous middle-aged man loudly bawled out "What you did is very atrocious, it caused us our school's pride"
"I'm really sorry"
Her colleagues from the club including some passerby eyed them scrutinizing the situation. Yui committed a grave mistake that has brought her in this critical situation. She accidentally used the yellow paint instead of the blue one which is supposed to be the theme for this year's exhibit. On account of this mistake they needed to redo her work. To be precise for two hours and forty-eight minutes they were delayed. They barely made it on time. If it weren't for the help, comprehension, cooperation and collaboration of the contender's team they wouldn't make it.
"I'm really, really, really sorry for the trouble I caus—"
"That's enough, you've apologized enough" the vampire timidily interrupted "Let's go home"
The disturbing breeze of gossips blew when Shu said let's go home. The whole Ryoutei Academy is assuming that they're dating and is jealous of her, but if only they could get a grasp of what's really happening they would be terrified. Those people are a bunch of backstabbers and nobodies from the background, they no nothing of how dreadful her life has been, and yet they continue on judging her. Ever since she started talking to those vampires people started to notice her, watch her every movement, talk about her as if she's a somebody. The uneasiness she feels and petrifying threats she receives are slowly eating her humanity away, because of these vampires her once peaceful life became a mess. She couldn't extrapolate why those people adulate them, they're forbidding sadists, if it weren't for their looks and their standings they're nothing. She's grateful for they took her in, but by how they treat her even feigning a smile for them she couldn't make.
In a haste Shu dragged her out of there. The ride back home was in uttered silence. She greatly appreciates Shu who patiently waited for her, even though she knows that she's being grateful for nothing (since he was only forced) she's still obliged to thank him. All she did was to trouble Shu and the people around her, and because of this she was labeled as shameless and vacuous. Maybe if she doesn't have those pitiable eyes she can be more useful and less pathetic. She ought to thank God for the gift of sight, but she greatly detests how imperfect his gift is.
"What happened?" Shu asked as he stepped out of the limo "I wish to know what foolishness you did"
Yui looked at him meekly "I used black instead of blue"
"As days pass by your stupidity increases" he sighed "Are you that dumb, you can't even discriminate the two hues"
Shu avoids talking, if he can he would give up speech for he thinks it's dispensable. However, when he's with this human talking became an inevitable necessity. The vampire is engrossed by Yui who's eccentric and optimistic. Presumably Yui has forgotten about their one-sided meeting a decade ago before the whole 'sacrificial bride' thing happened, but for the vampire it's something indelible.
"Achromatopsia"
"What?"
"A hereditary visual disorder, it literally means 'no color'" she answered "In my case I can only see black, white, and shades of gray"
'There's no doubt, it's her' a rush of memories played inside his head, he felt something nostalgic "Then, why are you in the art club?"
"Even if I can't see colors, I can still draw. I'm good at sketching" she asserted "Yesterday, without my clearance they registered me in the mural section. They suggested that I should try something new, and I failed to turn them down"
"Mn"
She chuckled "Now that you know my secret it wouldn't be strange if I ask what color you have, right?" she looked at her toes "I believe colors define people. So, what's your color?"
He hesitated "Grey"
"Why?"
The vampire fell silent. Not being able to see colors seems peculiar, living in black and white where rainbows do not exist sounds despondent. The vampire had to avert his eyes at the deep sherbet pink pools of her eyes for he's starting to drown, he looked at the rising sun instead. His expression softened. It seems like he doesn't intends to answer her puerile question, finally giving up, she turned around to proceed into the mansion when the vampire spoke.
"Can you tell what color that has?"
Yui looked at the direction where he has been staring at "Yellow" she assumed that he's talking about the sun.
"No, it's green"
"Wh—"
"How could you attempt to defy what I said where in fact you've never really seen it" he scoffed "Is it because that's what science says or because that's what people told you?"
"If Shu says it's green, then it's green" she tiptoed towards him "However, nobody can defy a fact, Shu. Anyone can say it's black, blue, green or violet even so they don't define the sun for those only define how people see it" she looked at him "That's why if Shu says he's grey, then he's grey, but I can't help to wonder why"
"You're strange"
A/N: Should I continue?
