Chapter 10: A New Life

Red awoke in his bed in his and Blue's apartment. His raunchy, crass posters and action figures and DVDs he'd usually have back in the day were not in his sight anymore, not that he remembered. He felt as if his soul took a new body.

"Where am I…? And…what happened…?" Red looked at himself in a mirror near him. He had strawberry ginger hair and teal eyes. The body he was in felt unrecognisable. "Who am I?"

Red had amnesia and couldn't remember anything up until this point. The smell of the room felt a little bit familiar, though. He soon sat up from his bed and saw the bedroom door was open.

"Hi…Edgar," Blue walked into the room, holding a glass of water. He sat down on a stool beside him. Red sat, infatuated by the man. Despite losing a huge portion of his memory, the feelings still remained inside.

"In case you need a little…" The taller man clicked his fingers. "-brain-boost, you are actually my best friend of 21 years, well, now boyfriend, per se, and you live with me in this flat." The levelheaded man smiled. Red smiled back. He liked that name.

"Wanna go stargazing later tonight?" Red offered.

"Yeah," Blue agreed, with a grin on his face.

It was later that night when the two looked up at the pale white dots filling the black background in the sky. Red gazed up at the scenery, pointing to each star excitedly, his inner child shining transparently. Blue smiled. This was the start of a new life.

Red never truly lost his sense of who he was after all.
