Shades of Blue - Magda x Alan
Blue, Alan thinks, is his favourite color.
It’s not just because it’s the color of the sky, or the color of the ocean, or the color of the Guardsmen uniform which he wears so proudly everyday. It’s because of how vibrant it can be, and how dark it can be.
In all his life, Alan is pretty sure that he has never seen a color as wide or as diverse as all the shades of blue in the universe.
If the sky blue of the sky is for vastness, then the inky dark of the sea is for depth. If the bubbly blue of the fountain in the Amber Square is for peace and calm, then the navy blue of the Guardsmen uniform can be for justice.
But above all, there’s always been one shade of blue that is his favourite.
Magda Ellenstein’s eyes are also the shade of blue that confuse him the most. Sometimes, when she looks at him with those eyes of hers, they seem to pierce through him with a startling clarity. Other days, he sees them darken with anger as she faces off against noble ladies, only to brighten up again as she wins, and talks to one of her friends. And when she’s happy, her eyes seem to be shining, like the most precious crystals Alan has ever seen. (When she looks at him, his palms unconsciously start sweating and he starts blushing and stammering uncontrollably, because honestly, what do you do in front of the girl you lo-)
(….)
(…Maybe he should keep this knowledge a secret for a little while longer. Until he’s worthy enough to hold her hand, or be by her side, or cradle her face in his hands and tell her how her eyes are the prettiest shade of blue in the whole wide world.)***
