Declaimer: don't own em. Never did.

Yellow

Yellow was a cheerful color. It hid a multitude of sins. Yellow was the color of sunshine, cheery happy sunshine.

Yellow was the color of Pete's life.

Yellow was the color that hid the dark corners of the soul. Yellow also hid secrets. Just like Pete.

Pete hid Clark's secret, even from Chloe.

Chloe, his best friend. His best friend he was secretly in love with.

Chloe, who had bleed all over her yellow skirt in the Torch's office.

Chloe, who has been carrying Clark's alien baby.

Pete gritted his teeth as he watched Clark watch Chloe. He should confront him, make him own up to the pain he'd caused.

But like the bright sunflowers he'd left for Chloe, yellow prevailed.

Pete left the medical center and all he felt was yellow.
