Shades of Blue
My favorite is blue. It wasn't always blue. First it was pink, purple, and then nothing because my father told me to stop talking about such nonsense and lectured me on talking about myself too much. But my father wasn't here now, and I was in Dauntless, so now it was safe to say that my favorite color was a dark blue, sort of like Tobias' eyes. Okay, exactly like Tobias' eyes.
Of course I'd seen blue eyes before; my own eyes were a pale, grayish blue, along with the rest of my family. And most of Abnegation, I guess, save for the few lucky people who somehow landed with light green eyes. I'd seen Tobias' mother a few times, who had the same features as him, but the dark blue somehow looked sad and depressing on her always tense expression.
As for Tobias, it was hypnotizing to look at him. Sometimes I would stare at his eyes so much that he would blush or ask me what was wrong. Other times he would just let me look into eyes for as long as I wanted, but it was usually cut short by him laughing and asking what was so special about his eyes. "They're just like yours," he'd said one time, "Yours are blue and so are mine. I don't get what you find so interesting about them."
He had no idea. I wish I was a good artist, because then I could paint his face and carry it around with me, but I wasn't, and neither was anyone else that I knew of in Dauntless except for Tori, but her skills were limited for anything besides tattoos.
A few days ago, Tobias had jokingly put on a blindfold for the whole when he was around me, after I had told him that I lived to see his eyes. "That's what you get for making up a cheesy line," he'd said. Towards the end of the day, it actually became aggravating not being able to see them, and I ended up jumping on him; catching him by surprise, and ripping the cloth off of his face.
We both tumbled over and then I said, "That's what you get for, uh, keeping my favoritist thing away from me." I was standing on his chest.
"Now I'll have to get back at you for saying another cheesy line."
