Warnings: none
When she had first looked in his eyes, all she saw was black. A black empty void that showed no emotion, no life. He was an enigma. A hollow shell. An alien.
That changed the day he had first spoken to her. He looked at her with all the intensity she had expected. But there was more. There was a certain gentleness she didn't expect. A hesitancy that shouldn't have been there.
It shocked her. It confused her. It captivated her.
His eyes were no longer an emotionless black. They were a deep purple. Almost indigo. As dark as the night sky, but sparkling like stardust.
He had emotions. She was just blind. Like she had always been. But when she looked into his eyes, she could suddenly see the truth.
He loved her so much.
