A/N: This is something that's been sitting on my computer for almost a year, but I got stuck while editing and then not looking at (but never entirely forgetting) after a month. Even worse, according to the original document, the original idea is from early 2011. So yeah I finally went: just try to edit it, then publish it before I destroy this thing.
Eyes
If there was one thing Richter had learned over the years of knowing Aster, it was that Aster liked messing with people. He often claimed it was "for science", and while it often was the case, there were many times where it wasn't, and Aster usually wouldn't even pretend once exposed.
So it came to no surprise when Richter walked into the lab one morning to hear a group of fellow researchers arguing over Aster's eye color.
"I'm telling you his eyes are green!"
"And I'm telling you that his eyes are brown!"
"No way! I could swear that they're steel blue!"
Recently Aster had gotten hold of some sample products of a fairly new invention, colored contacts, and was having a field day with them, changing them almost every day. When asked the reason he was going through the trouble of swapping out multiple pairs instead of just settling on one set he liked, Aster just smiled his usual bright cheeky smile.
"You know, in a way it's kind of your fault. You keep refusing to even try the normal contacts, and so my interest lingered on them long enough for me to learn about the new colored ones!~"
As perplexing as Aster's behavior was it was only a minor thing compared to some of the other things he could be getting into.
And Richter wasn't about to try the contacts anytime soon.
He gently pushed up his glasses at these thoughts. While he had argued that the contacts were still too new of a product to trust in his eyes, that wasn't the truth of it. He knew he was just being a stubborn and sentimental fool.
His glasses were Aster's first gift to him after all.
Richter thought about these things for a while before Aster himself finally joined the group.
"Hello everyone! What's all the commotion about?"
One eye was yellow and the other purple.
