Eyes
When taking school pictures, the photographer always asks me, "Hey, kid, can you move your bangs for me. I want to see your pretty eyes." I roll my eyes in contempt and do as he says, just to get it over with. Right afterwards, my friends would ask me why I hide my eyes so much. They say they are very pretty. I reply with an, "I dunno" and get on with my life. 'Cause, honestly, I really don't know.
But I do think there is a reason why we hide our eyes. Why the best of us choose to cover them. And I figure it's simply that: We wish to hide. As operatives in this elite organization, we realize that any hint of emotion shows weakness. Weakness is unacceptable. And thus we hide the very window to weakness: our eyes.
It is why cold and frank Numbuh 1 wears his sunglasses in preparation for a mission. It is how Numbuh 2's goggles have become a mask of jokes in his humiliation. It is the purpose of Numbuh 4's long bangs which cover his eyes in a desperate plea for impression. It is the reason Numbuh 5's cap holds so much importance. It is Numbuh 86's choice to part her hair at the side when she yells at a subordinate's insolence. And it is the cause that Ex-Numbuh 274 wishes never to show his face behind his side-swept hair. These items hold the motion.
But Numbuh 3, she is special. She does not fear the emotions like we do. She thrives on the emotion that drives her off the edge of the cliff and flying into the sunset. She lives on the fear simply because she has faith and simply because she loves. She is confident in her capabilities and knows that her friends will always stand beside her, no regrets. She has been liberated.
Numbuh 3's assurance gives me hope that someday, I will be able to show my eyes too.
So what'd ya think? It's one of my first fics, so I would like some feedback as to how I can improve my writing. Flames will be used to burn houses.
