"White Light is a Mixture of Colors"

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could see a spectrum of colors from just looking at something white?

...

Pairing: Yullen/Arekan – It really depends on how you see it.

Rating: K+ (May change in later chapters)

Word count: ~ 500

Hello, I'm Yuna and this is my first ever fanfic! I present you with a drabble of Kanda and Allen in their child years. This will be a multi-chaptered fic, each chapter consisting of one drabble or several short drabbles. We will be following the two darling boys as they grow up, so no romance for the time being but look forward to some in much later chapters!

Well, enjoy ~

By the way, this is AU


Kanda sat still on a swing in a park. He stared expressionlessly at the pale, white-haired boy who crouched beside an old tree. The boy didn't move. He didn't stir when a gust of icy wind pierced his body. Nor did he move when speckles of snow hit his rosy cheeks, melted and formed a tiny river that meandered down his cheeks. The boy would have been thought dead if not for the small but observable chest movements caused by his light and irregular breathing and the glittering mist that left his mouth with each exhalation.

"Oi!" Kanda called to the small boy.

Silence; nothing could be heard except for the faint creaking of the swing as it gently swayed to and fro and the occasional flickering of a worn-out streetlamp.

Kanda called to the boy again but once again, he was given no reply. The boy didn't even look up at Kanda.

Kanda got off the swing and stormed towards the boy. Once in front of him, Kanda took hold of his collar and lifted the boy up till he could see his face. He could lift him up without much difficulty at all though Kanda wasn't particularly strong and he was only 8 years old. The boy was probably around the same age as Kanda but he was puny and a bit too thin compared to the rest of the boys at school in his grade. It seemed like the boy hadn't eaten for days. With a closer look at his face, Kanda noticed an unusual scar that trailed down and marred the left side of his face.

"Hey, answer me, will you?!" Cobalt eyes glared at huge silvery-grey ones. The white-haired boy's eyes glistened in the moonlight; they were really quite beautiful and majestic. The eyes were opened wide – too wide – and the boy looked like he was in complete shock, but they were empty. The emptiness resembled that of someone who had just died.

The rivers on the boy's cheeks grew larger. Wait, was he crying?

Shocked, Kanda let go of the boy and he fell to the frozen ground with a thump. The boy didn't cry of pain or anything, but just remained there slumped on the ground, slightly shivering. More and more tears fell from his eyes. What's with this kid?

The boy would surely die of the cold and Kanda definitely didn't want to see a dead body in the park that he would often go to for some peace and quiet.

It was late. Kanda would have to go home soon. He didn't want Tiedoll, his grandfather – though he prefers to call him "old man" – following him around everywhere and breathing on his neck asking why his precious Yuu has come home so late and if he had hurt himself anywhere or gotten into any trouble.

"Boys shouldn't cry," Kanda scoffed. He waited for a reply, perhaps a "You're so mean!" like the kids at school say to him when he tells them he doesn't want to play with them or when he insults someone.

But nope, there was no reply.

Sighing, Kanda took off the scarf that was wrapped tightly around his neck. He wound the navy blue scarf around the small boy's exposed neck. Then, he turned around and walked away.


I hope you enjoyed this drabble! More drabbles will be written as a continuation of this one but the events in the next one would probably occur several months or even perhaps a year or so afterwards.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or feelings (and especially because this is my first fanfic!) so leave a review, please?

Yuna.

P.S. I have no idea when I'll update this =3=
