Thank you to xEvilChick for your review! I'm glad you liked the last chapter and thank you so much for pointing out the typos! I kinda suck massively hard at proofreading...
Enjoy!
050. Eyes
Green and Blue
She has strange eyes, strange, but beautiful. I loved the blue; the ocean blue one. It was like the ocean, on going, stretching out forever, calm and still and tranquil, but with a dark and stormy and harsh side to it - a side I loved and found more... Sexy than anything else. She was more faceted than they believed, I saw in her what they never saw. I saw more in the depth of one of her eyes, than anyone had ever bothered to see.
Her eyes reminded me of home. Of the blue lights of Zanarkand, the home I missed and wished for as much as I wished for my father again, now. Of the blue water of the blitzball sphere that was always kept up, always spinning. But it reminded me of the water of my new home. Of the pitch water I first arrived in, and the tropical, turquoise water of my home; of Besaid. Her blue eye... It was grounding, amidst the turmoil and never-ending cycle of sin and death and sin and death. It was calm, amidst the never-ending hatred and worry that the all too short calms had brought, the anger that had surrounded their world - Spira for hundreds of years, thousands even. And they were peaceful; peaceful when I needed the calm in my all too new, all too hectic life.
I loved the other eye in the exact same way - the green eyes, grassy green.
It wasn't bright enough like Rikku's to be such a line green, but it wasn't as dark and blue or teal to be emerald, like my mother's. But somewhere in between, somewhere in the beautiful region that her eyes possessed, just blue enough to match her other eye, and just green enough to contrast in a way that caught my eye, every time.
This eye, it was like my new home, entirely. There was nothing of my old home in it, Zanarkand did not have any green in it - no green lights, no green material, nothing. It was everything Zanarkand wasn't. But everything Spira was. It was all the greenery in the sapphire oceans, all the greenery against the Mi'hen Highway and al the other beaten dirt-track roads Spira had to offer. All the green of the Calm Lands and all the green that surrounded my home. It was like a pulling down to reality, in the dream I was in. It was like a balance to all the excitement and joy I'd found in this new world, reminding me of all the truth of the world.
Together, I couldn't have asked for more. She claimed that she hated her eyes - the contrast, the striking look of them, and how they added so much 'unnecessary' mystery to her face - her words, not mine. But I loved them. They were beautiful, and together they were everything I'd once had, and everything I had now. Everything I needed and wanted, were in her eyes, I loved the mystery and the contrast and the striking look. I loved the blue and the green.
I'm sorry! Just a really short one this week...
