Frobin Week 2018 Day 6: Colorless @frobinfandays (sorry it’s so late!)
Soulmate AU: A person’s body is greyscale until they and their soulmate share skin-on-skin contact for the first time.
They had separate seats on the train, and even when he grabbed her to escape outside, he hugged the outside of her jacket, her black hair and his dark grey hair waving in the wind. Her bright eyes filled with colorless tears spilling down her cheeks as she cried out to her friends. Franky watched as Luffy wrapped his arms around all the Strawhats, and as his arm made contact with each one, his colors flared just a little brighter every time.
Franky had always wanted to meet his soulmate. The black-and-white look just didn’t do it for his flamboyance, though his bright clothing helped. And since he’d been touched and patted all over by friends and family, he knew he did have a soulmate, somewhere out there.
Oh, how close she was! For when she fainted on the bridge and he caught her, she happened to steady herself with a hand on his back, the remaining human part of him.
“Thank you,” she murmured as her eyes turned a rich shade of brown before his own, her skin a lighter shade and her hair still dark and shiny. He stared at her, and she stared back, eyes wide. “Oh . . .”
“Oh,” he said, dumbstruck. “What . . . what color’s my hair?”
“Blue,” she said. “Like the sky. What color are my eyes?”
“Beautiful.” He shook his head. “Brown.”
An explosion rocked their world again and they turned tail, running for safety, Robin’s black hair and Franky’s blue hair waving in the wind.
