A/N: Quick background to this one-shot - it's the typical you can't see colours until you've met your soul mate AU.
Number 26 - AU
Colours
The world was normal. The world was normal and then – one day - it wasn't.
A swirling mix of black and white and grey. The beautiful, if dull, sky. The birds chirping as they flew overhead. My nails, the colour 'Green With Envy' but grey to around seventy percent of the population (including myself).
A job interview that was too grey. Three other applicants in the waiting room whose records were white enough to be hired. My heart, which turned blacker with every failed attempt to lift myself out of poverty.
At the station, fiddling with my broken bag strap. The tube, stopping just in time.
I pushed my way through the crowd of people concentrated at the doors. I passed someone who was leaving the tube-
-I met eyes with theirs in the rush-
-and-
-they were brown.
They stood after me at the station-
-the doors shut-
-we watched each other silently through the windows
and we each faded into the distance.
A/N: Romance has been requested and I am currently trying to write some! (There will be some in a few chapters, mainly because there are a couple I have pre-written and adding on here whenever)
Do you guys prefer the earlier or later instalments?
Thanks for reading!
