First time Liam Lunettes saw color was the time he’d always remember. Him and Sharon were out playing in the Rainsworth garden. The garden was a stunning place, with beautiful flowers of all kinds. Or so many people said…
Liam didn’t understand why everyone made a fuss about roses, violets and other flowers. They were dull and colorless. Nothing to fuss over.
The boy shook his head, and reached out flicking a rose. The shady gray color as dull as always.
"Catch me , Liam-san!!" Little Sharon raced ahead squealing. The boy followed at a slower pace, as he went to call for her.
A scream sent him rushing forward, terrified at what had happened. Had a chain - Master always talked about, gotten her!?
He turned the corner freezing at the site. A man, lay passed out in front of Sharon.
Taking a deep breath, he took the remaining steps to the hurt man. “Shar-“
The man let out a gasp, eyes flying opening. You see. This point in time would be what Liam would remembers years from now.
Red. The mans eyes were a beautiful red so bright it made him want to cry. Colors swirled around him coming to life but he focused on that one person…
Xerxes Break. His red eyed albino.
Years went by, and Liam’s life stayed colorful and bright, just like the candy rappers that littered his room and desk.
His soulmate just had to be a candy addict but he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Xerx, was remarkable. The way he laughed, making the colors around him brighter. More vivid.
The way his eyes sparkled with mischief, when teasing some unfortunate soul or Liam. Especially Liam.
Xerx made everything better. And worse at the same time.
They shared there first kiss when Liam turned eighteen. There first real kiss. Butterflies in Liam’s chest made him feel dizzy.
Oh how he wanted this to go on forever. Everyone he loved safe. But it never turns out that way does it?
Liam caught his lover in his arms as the world threatened to go dark as he passed out. It frightened the brown eyed man how fragile his love was…
No matter how much of an act the hatter had put up.
Ever time he used his powers the world’s colors went duller. With ever cough Liam feared the end for his mate.
He couldn’t lose him. Not yet. Not ever. They were to grow old together. Xerxes Break…old just wasn’t a easy thought to wrap around but he still wanted that dream.
Needed it in this dark time. He’d seen what happened to soul mates who lost each other.
But Xerxes wasn’t the first to die.
"Don’t you see this man is dead?"
No he couldn’t see. Not anything. Color or no color - he was blind to it all. “Liam…say something.”
'Don't throw your life away'
Silence ringed in his ears. It was to much to lose a soul mate so young.
"Lily!" A voice screamed. A voice he knew to well.
Color, just for a second flashed across his vision. So beautiful, it almost brought tears to his eyes. But he’s Break. He never cried.
"Whats with that face Xerx?"
It been months since they seen each other. Or it felt that way as Liam gazed down at his lover.
Break squirmed ever so slightly in his sleep, eyes twitching.
He must have been dreaming, reaching , calling.
He gripped his loves hand making a wish for a happy ending. One for them all as images of that wonderful day were everyone was laughing and alive flashed threw his mind.
Anyone but Xerx. Liam rushed forward along Sharon grabbing onto the man - whos cheeks were wet with tears.
Liam’s vision slowly darkened, as Xerxes Break gave him one last sad smile before him and the colors were gone.
Wheres the happy ending…The smiles, and laughter.
Soul mates need each other to survive. They bring color to each others life’s. Little kisses here and there. Pointless arguments. Just sitting by each other in company.
Tickle fights, long hours by a warm fire, and soft “I love you’s”.
To lose someone like that sends you into madness.
Elliot Nightray died leaving his own soulmate to be lost. Leo never would be the same again.
Oz Vesalius world went blank and white as his mate shot him. But there are always happy endings. Oz did reunited with Gil, together again as mates should be.
Liam believed it was all a joke. It had to be…
Where was Liam’s happy ending? Where was his Xerxes…his color to his life…
"Liam…what you doing?" Liam’s head shot up to met a red eye.
"You should be in bed resting Xerxes. Your not full recovered from…" He trailed off. He still had nightmares from when he almost lost his Xerx.
"Im still here Liam. I’ll always be here…" The hatter stepped around to sit on his friends desk.
"I was so close to losing y-" a warm lip was on his. Soothing away the pain, worry, and fear. He leaned into the kiss.
When his eyes opened they met red…
A beautiful red that was there to stay.
