Red
If you asked her what she liked about him the most, she'll say it's his eyes in a heartbeat.
But Natsume hated it.
It reminded him of so many things he didn't want to remember – ever. His eyes meant bloodshed, the color of pain… and his mother's eyes. He hated how everytime he would look in the mirror, all he could see was his mother. Kaoru. And it pained him so much.
But Mikan loved it for many reasons and with every moment she was with him, all she wanted to do was stare into them and just get lost. His eyes reminded her of fresh roses, the color of love and red, shining rubies…. Everything beautiful. And she's never seen anything so breathtaking her whole life. And although she knew he hated it, she still tries—
"You know, your eyes are my favorite shade of red. It's beautiful."
And maybe it won't take a long time before he could finally realize that.
