Pen and Ink week day 2: Colour

An outsider's pov.


He walked out onto the terrace and spotted the two of them laying on a lounger next to the pool. They were tucked onto the same one, barely able to fit but making it work.

He was sleeping with his head resting on her stomach, and she had one arm wrapped around him whilst the other held up a book to read.

He smiled at the sight of them, glad that they had both found someone that they could be so comfortable with. He remembered his brother from not too long ago. The one who shined so bright, but always had a glint of sadness in his eyes.

That was not the same brother who he saw now. She had brought something to him that no one else could. She brought a colour to his life that he never seen before and made his light shine a little brighter.

He did the same for her, and they all knew that even when neither wanted to admit it. It was obvious in the way that she would always turn towards him even when there were others around, or how he always stood closer to her than anyone else in the room.

They may not have looked like a conventional couple, and lord knew that the rest of them had teased them about it at the start, but now that he was watching them, he couldn't think of two people better suited for each other.

He wanted to stick around and watch them for a few more moments, but he didn't want to intrude any longer. So, he turned and headed back inside, leaving the two of them alone once more.
