Blue, the Emotion

If you asked someone their favorite color, chances are that someone would respond with "blue".
I was well acquainted with the reasons for this. For one, blue is an unsurprisingly calming color. Of course, there's the fact that it represents the vast ocean. Let's not forget it's the color of the freedom of the sky. A newborn human's eye color is also blue. There are probably many more reasons for loving the color itself, but no more seem to cross my mind.
…Probably because this is my case against the color, not for it.
I haven't always hated blue, no. When I fully understood that evil hid behind it, I started to hate it. It – and gold, but there was far more blue – was the shade of the military uniforms that I refused to wear (That was enough for any previous fancy I had for the color to pass). Blue was the color of the momentary flash of power during a transmutation. I suppose that means I could blame blue for what I have to do now.
I heard, rather than felt (I was too tired for feeling), myself clapping my hands together, beginning the unforgiving process.
Maybe it was the emotion that blue brought I hated; but that was an oxymoron, hating emotion.
All thoughts passed as I closed my eyes, letting fate do with me what it pleased. I had committed the taboo again, and I did not care what happened to me. I just hoped my brother would live on to have some peace in this world. I felt myself being pulled, and I saw blue for what I hoped wouldn't be the last time. Alas, it wasn't.

This is yet another story written in math class. If you didn't figure it out, it matches the end of the anime. I saw the ending again, I couldn't help but notice how blue it was…It is also told in Edward's POV, if you couldn't tell.
