Hey, I am back in action! This time, it's simultaneous update from both 'Colours' series. To those who read both ("Colour of Our Hairs" and "Colour of Our Heart"), you might find it a bit repetitive but we've tried our best not to make it too repetitive so that you will enjoy it!

For those who haven't read the counterpart of this story, Colours of Our Heart, you might want to check it out as well! It's equally interesting!

Reine

Gwen gives off this uneasy vibe since I told her about my relationship with Neil. I tried to explain to her that Neil isn't that bad after that, but I'm not sure whether she was listening at all.

As I suspected, Seishun Flash posted about me and Neil and it creates a lot of noises when I enter the class.

"Are you seriously dating Forrester?"

"Oh my God, has he ever hit you?"

"But he's actually quite cool."

I simply brush them off and walk to my table. That's when Felicity comes in and approaches me. "I heard the news," she says. "Congrats,"

"Thanks…"

She smiles. "At last you've got a boyfriend. I hope you guys will last long."

I smile at her comment. "Thanks."

Soon, Tina waltzes into the classroom and goes for my table, "Hey Kreiss!"

"Hello, Laughlin."

"Congrats for your scandalous relationship with Forrester!"

She says the word 'scandalous' so lightly as if it's a synonym of 'blooming'. Oh, well, maybe she has a different notion of scandalous as her close relationship with the Editorial Club teacher-in-charge, Mr Soseki Sengoku, can also be described as one.

"Thanks." I say.

"Actually, I want to tell you something," Tina says. "I heard this unsavoury things from the senior."

"About Neil?"

"No, about Allen Rosencrantz."

I frown. "Why don't you tell Gwen?"

"Because… I'm not sure whether I should."

"What is it?"

"The third year said Allen used to sleep around with girls. In school."

WHAT?!

Neil

When I enter my new classroom, I feel that people look at me differently. Some of the guys, who previously didn't even dare to stand near me, come up to me and say, "Are you really dating the younger Kreiss?"

"That's none of your business." I reply awkwardly. I'm still not used to say that we are… dating.

"He's blushing! It must be true!"

"Aw… dang it! Another cute girl is being taken!"

"You're one lucky guy!"

"The elder Kreiss is with Rosencrantz, right?" someone suddenly says, "Dang it! I wonder whether Fressier is taken as well!"

I have to applaud Reine's sister to successfully stop Rosencrantz from screwing girls after school. (I accidentally saw him with some girls in the middle of doing it several times).

I can hear Rod laughing as he jumps to my back. "Congrats again for gaining a member in your pride, and I have to say she is a fine lioness!" he says. "Now, you are no longer the Prideless Lion!"

"She isn't a lioness." I reply. "More like a turtle."

"She's going to kick you if she heard it." Rod says in a mock-threatening tone.

"She's on crutches."

"That doesn't mean she won't kick you!"

Well, that's true.

Rod suddenly grabs me, "Why don't we say hi to her?"

"Eh, what the hell?!"

However, when we are in the hallway, a brown-haired girl with blue collar stripes walking towards us. At a glance, she is so like Reine, although she is noticeably more slender.

She must be the elder Kreiss.

"That must be Gwen Kreiss," Rod remarks.

"Yeah."

She stops in front of us, "Forrester?"

"What's your business?"

"Stay away from my sister."

"That's none of your business." I tell her. "Go away."

"You—"

"Gwen? What are you doing here?" Rosencrantz comes out from his class. Oh, yeah I forget we're in front of his class. He suddenly turns at me and throws a menacing glare. "What are you doing to her?"

"How about you yourself?" I ask her, ignoring Rosencrantz. "Do you know what kind of guy your boyfriend really is?"

"Allen Rosencrantz!"

The four of us turn at the direction of the voice. It's Reine, without her crutches, her eyes flash in fury.

Great. This is going to be troublesome.

Reine

I try to walk to Allen, forgetting that my ankle is sprained and I don't bring my crutch upstairs since it's too troublesome. In the end, I hop towards them. Neil runs at my direction, "Stupid! Where are your crutches?!"

"Shut up, Neil!" I shrug him off and point at Allen, "I have a business with this guy!" I glare at him, who seems to be unfazed. "I heard… unpleasant things about you." I glance at Gwen, who surprisingly is not alarmed, or even confused. "Did you… really…"

"Who Allen is… is none of your business," Gwen interjects.

"It's not mine until he is dating you!" I raise my voice. "I don't want you to be his other prey!"

"I'm not his prey!" Gwen raises her voice as well. "At least he is better than a blond who keeps getting into fights with gangster!"

"What did you say?!"

"Reine, I'm sure Allen can explain this," Rod says. Oh, yeah, he is Allen's childhood friends.

"He better does." I growl.

"I have nothing to say." Allen replies calmly.

"You don't know what he's gone through." Gwen backs him up.

"So you know what Neil has gone through?!" I ask back. "Do you need me to force you? I don't have raisin boxes, but I still have my fist."

I push my clenched fist forward, directing it at Allen. When I almost get him, Gwen jumps between us.

No!

"Shit!"

I managed to reduce its power, but it still hits Gwen and she falls to the ground, her hands holding onto her left cheek that was hit.

By me.

I just hit my own twin.

Suddenly, my body is raised from the ground and I see Allen, his blue glare coldly piercing, stares up at me, his hand grabbing tightly onto my collar.

Neil

Everything happens so quickly. When I manage to register what's going on, that's when I see Rosencrantz takes her collar and raises her from the floor. I immediately grab his wrist and glares at him. He turns at me with an equally threatening glance. "I won't let anyone who harms my girlfriend gets away with it. And that includes her twin."

I press my fingers harder around his wrist, forcing him to let go of Reine, who falls on her knees to the ground, crying.

"And do you think I will let you get away with harming my girlfriend?" I ask him back.

Rosencrantz narrows his eyes as if preparing to take me on. I can see him clenching his fist, and that's when Rod puts his hands on each of our arms with enough pressure to tell me that he is ready to separate us by force. "Guys," he says, "don't you think your priorities should be your girlfriends?"

He has a point there. I let go of Rosencrantz and go to Reine, who is still sobbing. I take her into my arms without saying anything.

Reine

Neil brings me to the school's roof, where we sit next to the door and just feel the spring breeze on our skin. He tells me about Allen, about his previous… romance life.

"So… it's true?"

"Yes."

"And you know it?"

"Yes."

"Why didn't you tell me?!" I yell at him.

"Because, since he met your sister, he stopped doing it again."

I take a deep breath, calming myself down. "Do you think Gwen knows about this?"

"Maybe…"

"Then, why…" I murmur, tears start to fall down again. "Why can't she understand you?"

I put my head on my folded knee. Much to my surprise, Neil put his hand on the side of my head and leans it on his shoulder.

"You're such a crybaby…" he says in a mocking, yet soothing tone.

"Why, Neil…? Why is it so hard for them to see beyond your blond hair?"

"I don't know… and seriously, I don't care." He replies, "You've seen beyond it, and that's all I want."

Reine learned the truth about Allen, and her views on him are irreversibly changed. What is going to happen next? How will the conflict between the twins be resolved?

Stay tuned to find out!
