Prompt: Rem x Misa, 'twilight eyes'

Misa's eyes had springtime in them.
They were vibrant, the rich colour of growing wood and fertile earth, full of promise for things to come. They were eyes that didn't know about ashes or ruin yet, eyes that believed that the universe would conform itself to their wishes because faith was enough to change the world.
Dawn eyes. Young eyes.
Rem had twilight eyes.
Day had already passed for her. Springtime had come and burst into painful flower, and had withered already into the farscape of bones and grey death that had become her home.
It hurt to remember springtime and morning, but even so it was irresistable, like an alluring bittersweet drug.
So, Rem met Misa's eyes as often as possible, and forced herself not to look away.
This was her self-flagellation for allowing summer and afternoon to pass unhindered.
Sometimes, she thought Misa might even understand.
