Colors are pure. Delicate. But beautiful, even the odd ones. It is a feeling. Like a flower blooming but faster. Like everything is so much clearer than a simple black and white. You see everything. But that's only when you meet someone. Your soulmate. But it's not by touch to see color, even the sight glare, the world around them is blooming. And so is their soulmate.
When Onodera Ritsu experienced it, the feeling. It was so exciting and new. Like feeling the sun warm his soft cheeks. But he never thought that his soulmate would be a upperclassmen. He didn't care though, he already loved him. Oh how his hazel, caramel-like eyes were so... Beautiful. He never saw such pure color. Heck, he never even saw color but black and white.
He just couldn't stop staring at him, looking up to stare his hazel eyes. They were going across a row of books, till their eyes met. Onodera blushed and look down at the book that the upperclassmen gave him when Onodera was trying to reach from the tallest shelf.
Can he see the color around him like me...? He thought. Onodera knew that when meeting upon your soulmate they too should see color. He wonder if the upperclassmen can see his eyes... Onodera never saw how his eye color were like, though his parents told him. Because they are soulmates so they can see color around them.
But Onodera was always confused with people who are born unrequited. He understood the meaning of it. Someone who is born that they are forever to be trick within the eyes that they believed they met their soulmate. But that so called soulmate can't see color when they "finally" meet. Once they are over with that "soulmate" the world around them go back to black and white. But they will find a new soulmate, and so color will bloom back. Or so they thought. It is a curse that some people live through. It's like a loop, that just starts over painfully again and again. And it's heartbreaking. Because he knows his childhood friend An-chan was born with it. Because she believed that he was her soulmate. But Onodera saw no color when she confessed of it. She always saw color when she first met him. An-chan was deeply heartbroken. But she never gave up on him. Even if the slightest small colors started to disappear.
Onodera is confused with himself. Was he born with unrequited? Can his to-believed soulmate see color too? No... His... Senpai must see color too... Onodera walked away from him and walked into another row of bookshelves. He finally picked up his head and... Woah. It's so bright... The room filled with so many colors. Seeing the curtains move from the wind blowing outside from the windows. Outside he saw a clear blue sky that were so delicate. The books, so many books yet so many different colors. Onodera couldn't help but smile. He finally met his soulmate... But he's too afraid to talk to him because he's scared to find out that he can't see color after their first encounter.
So... Onodera will just read the books that his Senpai have read. Of course he was embarrassed when he started to do that because he was "stalking him". But he's not, he's just... Concerned. That's right... Just concerned of what his Senpai reads. Saga Masamune... He was filled with so many emotions when he found out his name from the library cards. When he realized of his actions, he changed his surname to hide his identity.
And so this continued on for the next three years. Onodera never told anyone that he finally sees color and he never talked to the upperclassmen. He only would glare from a distance. Onodera knows where he sits, what time he leaves the library, what books he would read. He was too scared to think that he can't see color. Because no matter how hard he tries, Onodera can see his Senpai's caramel eyes when he closed his. Maybe he really was born with unrequited. His eyes are tricking him. But Onodera won't give up on his Senpai.
