Author's note: These one-shots are done for the LiveJournal community 52flavours. Since the fandom lacks fanfiction to this wonderful series, I decided to try my hand at them. I was going to do Eclipse x Rein, but why not focus it on the infamous love square? There will be 52 chapters of course, and all couples will be one-sided. (I may intend on putting Eclipse x Rein, though.)
There also will be spoilers for those who haven't followed the series to where I am at now, so read at your own risk!

Theme #8
- The blind leading the blind
Someone with perfect vision could lead the blind under the vast azure skies, but it wasn't necessarily the one who eyes who would lead. Sometimes blind people led one other across the distant peaks of the world.
In this case, Fine led Bright into a world that he had never seen before. By trying to view things through Fine's eyes, Bright felt that he could understand her better. The way she'd relate everything to a slice of brownie cheesecake and the way she'd compare the fluffy snow to the smooth texture of a white cake seemed all so new to Bright. Maybe Fine wasn't the best philosopher in the world, but her statements normally made sense, in a famished kind of way.
The more Bright thought about Fine, the more he felt that she had captured his heart and was making him chase her through a long labyrinth. He somehow was drawn to her like a magnet, her unique nature usually on his mind. Bright felt as if Fine was uncovering his eyes to view the world in a different perspective with her different opinions. He soon understood that he was blindly in love with her.
Unfortunately he failed to realize that Fine was blind as well — blind to the feeling of love, that is; his love especially. For some reason, whenever Bright caught Fine's glance, she'd look away, and when he advanced towards her, she'd push Rein before him, smiling apologetically. Whenever he'd talk to her, Fine would ramble on about pastry, and then find an excuse to leave.
Bright didn't understand any of her antics, but he assumed that it was probably just another attribute of hers. Whatever it was, Fine was just like a puzzle, and her unpredictable motions always astounded Bright. Such a dissimilar personality made Bright admire her even more.
But still, why was she avoiding him?
