A/N: Pairing/Character - Edward. Prompt - colour.

Colour blind

The world at his feet explodes into colour, yet he's colour blind. His existence is a hasty sketch in shades of gray. But he's been drowning in stygian black for so long, that any contrast is welcome. He still misses the ruby-red of her lips, the chocolate-brown of her eyes, the alabaster of her skin, and the warm hue of her smile.

She painted his world and now she's gone, leaving him with a mangled canvas.

Despite himself he smiles when a warm hand rests in his neck like a promise, and his blood suddenly runs red in his veins.
