summary: Iga is colourblind until he sees Nana au
warnings: swear
Grey skies, grey landscapes, and grey faces is all that Igarashi sees. He longs to see colour; the red flowers, the blue clouds, and green grass.
He often gets complimented for his eyes. Someone says "wow! your eyes change colour!" but he feels like it's wasted on him. He can't even look in the mirror and look at his own eyes. Disappointing.
Now he sat in a cafe, peacefully drinking his black coffee in silence. He drearily watched the people stroll by, talking and laughing, and longed to have someone.
"E-excuse me?" a loud voice stuttered behind him.
"Yeah?" Iga asked and turned around to face the person. It was like an explosion. The second the two's eyes met, the world suddenly shifted and thousands of vibrant shades seemed to appear out of thin air. Iga fell back onto the ground, covering his eyes with his hand.
"WHAT!" the person yelled nervously, grabbing Iga's wrists. "Don't die beautiful stranger!"
"Ah! No... I'm fine...!" Iga assured, his eyes closed.
"Are you blind?" the person asked pensively. Well damn.
"No?" Iga said in a questioning tone.
"Then why are your eyes closed─and why are you still on the ground!?"
The tall boy sighed and tried to open his eyes, squinting from the bright sun. Everything looked different. He couldn't process the vibrance of the world. What the hell is happening to me? His head hurt horribly and the world was spinning dramatically like a broken carousel, he couldn't focus on anything.
Iga began breathing heavily, looking up at the sky in fear. His headache was worsening by the second.
"Hey!" the loud voice cried, rubbing his hand on Iga's chest. The volume of the person's voice caused a sharp pain in his head.
"Ah!" Iga groaned and felt the world spin around, until there was nothing but the darkness of his eyelids.
┅ ┅ ┅ ┅ ┅
Igarashi felt his eyes begin to slowly drift open, and winced at the brightness of the ceiling.
"O-oh! Hello there!" a familar voice spoke. Oh right. That one person...
He turned his face to gaze at the figure and let out a panicked yell.
"I'M THAT UGLY?!" the person screeched.
"No-!" Iga almost shouted. A boy sat there, with light messy hair that hung in his bright, wide eyes. He wore a large hoodie that hung loosely on his lean body, and was eating what looked like some kind of candy. He was far from ugly.
Iga had yelled because his surroundings... were different. Everything had changed significantly, he looked down at his hands; even his own hands.
"Why am I like this...!?" Iga asked urgently, a jolt of panic ran through his body. "What's going on?!"
"Ah-! Uhm! Calm down! Uhm─you passed out! That's it! The doctors said nothing about your health!" he blurted nervously, a flustered expression on his face. His face... is so... vivid! And lively!
"You're so pretty!" Iga burst out.
The light-haired boy's face darkened and he put his hands over his mouth. "W-w-what?"
"Oh─! My vision...!"
Doctors suddenly began swarming into the room, checking the monitors beside Iga's bed and examining some files. A man with a clipboard walked up to the two boys.
"Hello Igarashi. How are you feeling? Your fiance told us you passed out?"
"What? Fiance─"
"Fiance!" the light-haired boy beside him exclaimed with enthusiasm, awkwardly wrapping his arm around Iga's shoulder.
"What the fu─"
"Now tell me, Igarashi." The doctor gazed sincerely into his eyes. "Do you know what caused your faint?"
"I don't understand─why am I in the hospital? I just fainted! People faint all the ti─"
"Did that answer my question? No! It didn't!" the doctor interrupted cheerfully.
"Uh... okay then. I'm seeing things differently now, everything is just so overwhelming to look at─"
"Well Igarashi, your file does say colour-blindness. Do you think you have regained your ability to see colour?"
It all seemed to click into place. Everything was so vivid and invigorating now... colour!
"Y-yes!" Iga shouted, eyes sparkling.
"Hmmm... do you know how you regained colour?"
"Well, I was drinking my coffee, and then..." Iga turned around and pointed to the boy. "He touched my shoulder, so I turned around, and the second we made eye contact, my surroundings were different, my vision was different, and everything was... different!"
The doctor removed his glasses and stared straight into Iga's eyes. "Well, Igarashi, it seems like your so-called fiance might just be your soulmate!"
"HUH?!"
┅ ┅ ┅ ┅ ┅
"This is purple!" Nanashima exclaimed, picking up a violet flower and gently stroking the petals before giving it to Igarashi.
Iga stared at it for a second, his mind absorbing the shade before grinning smugly and sticking it into Nana's hair.
Nanashima had introduced himself after the doctors had left, and sheepishly apologized about lying that they were engaged. The two became closer after the visit at the hospital, and now spent time together often, doing stupid things and casually flirting with one another. Nana wanted to show Iga all the colours in the world, and Iga wanted to see Nana's face light up as Iga learned everything.
"Okay!" Nana yelled, making a weird expression and staring into Iga's eyes. "What colour... is this!" he cried as he pointed to his pupil.
"That's green, Nana," Iga smiled, rolling his eyes.
"Yay!" Nana cried, pumping his fist into the air.
"What colour are mine?" Iga questioned.
"Hmmm... I don't know!" Nana declared, gazing intently into Iga's eyes. "They change! Like a kaleidoscope!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! They're so pretty, and nice! I like them a lot!" Nana chriped. Iga felt a sudden urge to embrace him, so he did.
Iga hugged him, wrapping his strong arms around Nana's shoulders and holding him close. Thank you~ he whispered into Nana's hair and kissed his head softly. Without him, Iga would have never discovered the wonders of colour and vibrance, and never feel as happy as he did now.
a few weeks later ┅ ┅ ┅ ┅ ┅
The two boys sat in Nana's apartment. They were cuddling on the couch while watching some strange film.
"Is the world better with colour?" Nana asked as Iga ran his fingers through the blonde's hair.
"The world's better with you," Iga replied, smiling.
"You're such a dork," Nana accused, a small grin on his face.
"Ah! What's this? Did I make Nanashima smile?" Iga asked playfully and brought his face close to Nana's.
"S-stop!" Nana laughed and weakly hit the boy's arm.
"Say, Nana, why did you even talk to me, that day we met? And called me your fiance?" Iga questioned.
"I talked to you... because you were really hot," Nana's voice lowered at the last part, and he buried his blushing face into his elbow.
Iga laughed. "Oh really?"
"Yeah..." Nana squeaked, Iga's face grew serious. "I saw you, and I was thinking like─damn, if only I could just kiss─"
He was interrupted by Iga kissing him. Nana's emerald eyes widened and then shut; he placed his hands on Iga's neck and kissed him deeper, until he could taste the mint on his breath.
Iga kissed him like he's never kissed anyone before, laying Nana down on the sofa so he was on top. Nana moaned a bit, his heart racing with passion and desire. He had never felt so intimate with someone before, and this was only one kiss. After several minutes of making out, the couple finally pulled away shyly. Iga gazed into Nana's eyes lovingly while Nana giggled and covered his blushing face with his hands.
"You're so-!" Nana sighed happily and giggled some more. He gets so cute when he's flustered. Iga thought to himself.
Iga chuckled and gently kissed Nana's nose before wrapping his arms around his waist, the two laying comfortably on the couch. Sooner or later, the two fell asleep, tangled together.
