A/N: Welcome back to another exciting episode of Kap's fuckin gayshiet. This week we have a suggestion from Some Random Dude! They wanted to see a soulmate Au: specifically one where in which your world is in black an white until your soulmate touches you. I thought this really fit the kind of character arc Sucy has naturally in the show, what with Akko (and Lotte but to a slightly lesser extent) pulling her up from the depths of some pretty deep darkness and teaching her what real healthy relationships are like.

Not sure how I did on this, so please let me know!

DarkyLonewolf: Haha I'm glad you liked it friend! Two parter might work! I think I would want to upload both parts back to back, so that would require a little bit of time to think about how the whole thing would be structured. Good suggestion friend! Thanks!

Horseshoefijzer: You're doing fine friend! My review section is literally for anything you want to say: reactions, suggestions, whatever! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Shigiya: Married fluff makes me bleed sugar. I would do it literally every time if my brain wasn't so shit at making it feel different while essentially being just the same chapter over and over again. Thanks friend!

GeminiAlchemist: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some Random Dude: Its mainly self deprecation and the promise of an insane amount of self placed weight being lifted off my shoulders. My deadlines are self placed for no real reason other than if they weren't there my upload schedule would have hiatuses months long. I wouldn't want to subject you guys to that, I know how shit it is to get to the end of an updating fic and having to wai for a new chapter. Writing the story early would make everything easier on me, but I'm really really shit at using time effectively so it would boil down to the same last second grind anyway. Thanks for the words of encouragement my friend, they really mean a lot to me!

TheHybridGryph: I'm so glad you enjoyed my dude! Fluffy fics with coffee in the morning are the best aren't they?

I hope you all have a pleasant morning! Or night... or afternoon...

Ever since she was a child, Sucy Manbavaran's world was gray and lifeless. Colour was a foreign concept to her, only visible as faint glimpses in the night as she dreamt; the sun would seem a little brighter and the grass would look a little healthier, but In the next second it was gone, leaving her in the dark.

She remembered hearing adults talk about colour- they would comment on the beautiful yellows of their friend's tulips or the blue of the sky -but never understood what they meant until years later, in the home of the first person to ever show her love.

"The world we are born into is a miserable gray place..." The elderly alchemist explained, taking a swig from her steaming mug. "But one day, you will find that missing colour- another soul that completes you, and you will never want for beauty again."

And so Sucy eagerly waited for her colours- her other half.

She waited... and waited... and waited, growing ever more jaded and hopeless with each rise and fall of the cold white sun.

Just as she was about to give up completely- about to give in to the soul crushing weight and emptiness, something incredible happened.

It was an afternoon in spring, and Sucy was slowly making her way across her college campus grounds towards the library, trying her best to ignore the happy smiles and laughter all around her; most had found their light by now, and were simply enjoying life.

It wasn't fair.

She kept her head down, looking at her feet as she walked down the sidewalk, carefully stepping over cracks in the cement where green blades of grass poked through.

'Wait... green?'

Sucy blinked rapidly, looking up in disbelief as the blacks and whites and grays slowly filled with an alien warmth: life and beauty where there once was nothing. Though they were dull and washed out, it was still the brightest her world had ever been: she was almost overwhelmed.

"E-Excuse me?"

There was a hesitant tap on her shoulder, and then almost became a definite as Sucy turned her head.

Colours- all of them -suddenly exploded into existence, causing Sucy to recoil; it was like looking at the sun.

"Ah! I'm sorry- did I scare you?" Vision clearing, the chem student came face to face with the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life bar none.

Soft chocolate brown hair and deep red eyes, a nervous smile creasing light pink lips; the girl in front of her seemed to radiate colour, infecting the world around them with warmth and light.

"N-No- I-" Her mouth hung open, flapping uselessly as she tried to say anything coherent, her eyes boring deep into the girl's skin.

The brunette flushed, nervously averting her eyes, and dear lord it was adorable- she was adorable.

"H-Hello." Sucy murmured, finally getting her mouth to cooperate. "Did you want to ask me something?" She had long since realized she was staring, but in her awe, the love-struck chemist couldn't look away if she wanted to.

For the record, she didn't want to look away- never would she ever want to take her eyes off of such an incredible sight.

"Yes I- I was looking for the library." The brunette explained, fidgeting with the edge of one of the many papers stacked in her arms. "I'm new here if that wasn't obvious and... you just happened to be there when I looked up from my map."

Sucy didn't believe in any divine entity, but she silently praised who or whatever brought this literal bundle of sunshine into her gray world. Of all the billions of people on this hopeless little planet, what were the odds that the one individual among them that could complete her would just so happen to go to the same college as her?

"I can help you!" The chemist cringed inwardly at how desperate she sounded. "I mean- I'm on my way to the library right now, if- if you wanted to come with me?" Her throat felt dry and it was hard to swallow. She didn't want to screw this up; utterly terrified that if this beautiful little lady disappeared, she would be dragged back into that cold and lonely darkness.

Thankfully the brunette seemed relieved, letting out a heavy breath. "Would you do that for me?" She asked with a growing smile of gratitude. "Thank you so much! I'm Akko!"

'No... thank you.' Sucy thought, basking in the glow of the angel's bright beaming smile and mouthing her name slowly. 'Ah.. ko'

"Oh- uh-" She stuttered, realizing she was supposed to offer her own name as well. "Sucy! I'm uh... my name." Brilliant.

Akko simply giggled, a sound that summoned a flock of butterflies inside of the chem student's stomach, so many new feelings she had never experienced before, revealing themselves within a matter of minutes.

"Just follow me."

Side by side, the two girls walked down the stairs and across the lawn where a large brick building towered in the distance.

"That's a library?!" The brunette cried incredulously, running a few feet ahead before spinning on her feet to meet her new friend's equally stunned gaze. "The city really is bigger and better!"

Akko was sparkling: the green grass and blue skies contrasting beautifully against her almost mystical ruby eyes; the sunlight making them shimmer like the most priceless of gemstones.

Ever since she was a child, Sucy Manbavaran's world was gray and lifeless. Throughout the years she heard stories of love; read countless books on the topic, as if to experience by way of paper and ink what she herself would never experience.

But here, standing in the centre of mid-afternoon traffic as people laughed and yelled around her, Sucy saw colour- she felt love.

"...one day, you will find that missing colour- another soul that completes you, and you will never want for beauty again."

And she never did.

A/N: Good gay shiet. Was kinda hard to write at some points? Hopefully it wasn't shit.

BY THE WAY Rose in winter is slowly chugging along... I've been almost done the next chapter for like three days now.

WRITERS BLOOOOCK *shakes fist at sky*
