It's been nearly two months since Ian and I split. It's been two months since Rixon started teaching me colors, my fainting spells are rarely a problem. They had gotten a bit better over time, though it still happened on rare occasions when I did too much at once, but we've learned how much I can take at a time.

Surprisingly no one other than my brother knows about me and Rixon being soulmates. It's helped on more than one occasion and learning colors was easier when the others were around and Rixon couldn't help me as directly. Dominic was always there to step up and help, just like he was today. It was a dance practice day and the boys were all dressed up in funny costumes. My brother was by my side, and I had just shared a secret glance at my soulmate.

"So, Alix is wearing yellow." Dom explained. "It's pale though, so it would be on the pastel spectrum of colors."

"Kinda like that yellow sundress I have?" I asked, cocking my head to the side. My words were only loud enough for my brother to hear, but that's all we needed.

"Yeah." He told me with a soft smile. "And Will is in blue. You should already know the color blue, right?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "It's the color of the sky and one of my favorite colors."

Dom grinned wider before pointing toward my soulmate and then Ian. "Can you name those two colors?"

"Aren't they both green?" I asked softly. "One is neon, I think. Is that the right word? Rix hasn't shown me many neon colors yet."

"You're right, it's neon." He nodded. "And what of the other green?"

"Dark green or as Joong likes to say, forest green." I smiled to myself, Rixon always loved telling me about the color green. And if I was being honest, I loved hearing him talk about the color. It made me fall for him so much more.

"Right, again." Dominic laughed. "Now, Stiles is in another neon color and it's pink. And Kai and Parker are both in purple."

"And you're the same red as one of your concert outfits, right?" I asked, earning another smile in response.

"Yes, I am."

I beamed up at my older twin before sneaking another look at Rixon who was already looking at me. He raised his pinky finger at me, wiggling it and making me smile. It was our little sign to one another, almost like an 'I love you' even though the two of us hadn't even progressed our relationship past the friends stage. We hadn't even said the actual words 'I love you' to one another but we both knew we didn't have to. In most cases, our simple pinky gesture was enough. And so I wiggled my pinky back at him before looking back at my brother.

"How much longer until you guys start your practice?" I wondered.

"Probably any minute now, it looks like everyone is done setting up." He told me and as if on cue, my soulmate was bringing the boys together. I was out of their way, moving to the beat as the camera at the front of the room filmed their stupidity. They'd be sure to share the video with their fans later.

I smiled while sitting down and relaxing. They had just started a 'normal' dance for wonderland but then one of the boys started acting stupid and one thing lead to another. They were yelling out their lines with the song or making faces at one another or the camera. The dance went well but by the time song number two came around, they were bumping into each other like on purpose. It was like they were drunk but I knew better, they were just acting like the fools you've come to love.
