He blinks at me slowly, seeming shocked, understandably, but I hate the silence. "Your eyes." He says slowly. "They- are different colors- wha... Were you wearing contacts?!"
I nod slowly, frowning, eyes apologetic. "Yes, I... my parents don't want my heterochromia visible to the public... If the press knew... they would give a lot of negative press because... it's so abnormal..."
He frowns slightly. "& your skin..."
I nod understandingly, still frowning. "Yes... that's vitiligo. Something I was born with... it's genetic &... not contagious, I assure you, it's just a skin pigment thing... My parents don't want that visible either because of the bad publicity I'd get..."
He nods slowly. "No, I... get that, I know what vitiligo is, but... it looks just like Blue's..."
I nod, bringing my wig out from a bag & he blinks slowly. "& this is too... Because I'm Blue..." I slowly put it on & he blinks at me in surprise.
"You... almost look just like him... can I... make sure..." He extends his hand out to me & I nod slowly, not entirely understanding what he wants to do. He stands up, approaching me slowly, running a makeup wipe over my face again to make sure my vitiligo isn't makeup, looking at the dark brown contacts on the table. Touching my face to make sure there's no makeup left there, making me blush.
He blinks at me. "You're... really him... Blue..."
I nod slowly. "Yeah... I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, I-"
He puts a hand up & I stop. "Can you... sing for me...?"
I nod. "Ok..."
Oof, Briar's really got it bad for Elio :D <3. How will Elio take these new discoveries?
