Prompt: [Colour] Rose Gold
WC: 204
Newt stared over the edge of the boat as it slowly chugged eastward, away from New York - and Tina. The sun was setting, casting the whole world in a beautiful rose gold light, pairing perfectly with every colour of the world. He loved that colour, rose gold; it was soothing to him.
Tina was rose gold. Not literally of course, but if souls had colour, that would be hers. She was brave and bold, but in a gentle way. Almost everyone liked her, or at least got along with her quite well. Tina was calm, but full of life. It seemed almost strange to Newt that the colour he loved matched so perfectly the person he suspected he was beginning to love too.
But Newt was not rose gold. He was awful at talking to other people; people judged. That's what he liked about animals. Most animals didn't care if you blundered, or weren't comfortable looking them in the eyes. It wasn't like that with humans. Tina was more like animals in that sense. She didn't mind either.
There was no doubt about it, Tina was rose gold.
And if rose gold can match anything - then maybe she can even match Newt's mint green.
