This one's for 30 Kisses at Livejournal challenge. Some themes are weird and hard to write for... but this one popped out pretty easily
Title: The Colour of Love
Theme: #15. perfect blue
Genre: General
Wordcount: 100
Summary: "For her, love wasn't red."
------
Red was the colour of love.
Or so she was told. For red was the colour of passion, of desire, of lust.
But red was also the colour of blood, blood shed on the battlefield as lives were cut short. A colour she was all too familiar with.
She didn't want to associate love with death. For her, love wasn't red.
When she asked for his opinion, he simply tilted her face toward his, smiling softly.
"What colour do you think it is?"
As she looked into the perfect blue of his eyes, she saw it, the colour of love.
Yes, a drabble, at 100 words exactly! theme #19 is "red", and I suppose I could combine the 2 themes, but I wanna draw a picture for theme #19
