Eyes
A Drabble By SailorLight22
Allen believed that the eyes were the windows of the
soul,
and the faces of his comrades constantly affirmed the truth
of that belief.
Lavi's eyes were green, like those fields of
clover which Allen had
romped through as a child, fresh and
invigorating to the soul that sought relief.
Miranda's eyes
were the color of newly-plowed earth, a place
made welcoming with
the possibility of new life, the revelation of a purpose.
Linali's
eyes, they held the shade of plums, or the pride of royalty,
unwavering and bittersweet in their simple nostalgia.
Crowley's
eyes were often the golden hue of sunlight on wheat,
but darkened
with lingering shadows like the mark of bloodstains
on discarded
memories never laid to rest.
And Kanda..?
Allen had
always believed his eyes to be black, empty and voidial,
gimlet
and sharp as knives in their darkness.
But when Kanda turned to match his gaze at twilight, Allen saw that they had never been so.
Instead, they were that deep-blue shade of the midnight sky,
velveted and bright
through the glimmer of long-ago stars, burnt
to ashes before their secret light
had ever reached the eyes of
one meant to see.
