Color me happy (Stickvin)

(art by me) 

All his life, Henry had seen nothing but black, white and gray.

Supposedly, when he meets his soulmate face to face, and they look each other directly in the eyes for the first time, he'd see color, and so would his soulmate.

But, after 26 years of living life like it's a silent film, meeting so many people, and seeing so many of their eyes, yet never seeing any color...

He was starting to think that was bullcrap, and that he was just colorblind.

But then one day, all that changed.

The day that he was kidnapped by the U.S. government to help them take down a criminal organization known as the toppats.

Funny... if Henry had gone broke again, he was actually considering joining the toppats, but honestly it was better to side with the government since at least he was pardoned for his crimes, meaning the cops weren't out for his head anymore.

And the mission itself was actually really exciting.

He'd worked together with one of the government's veteran helicopter pilots, Charles Calvin, to get the evidence they needed to take down the toppats, and honestly, it was the most fun Henry had since he stole the Tunisian diamond.

However, he'd never actually seen Charles, just heard his voice through his earpiece and on the helicopter.
But he took a liking to the young helicopter pilot, and he wanted to get to know him better.

He was the first friend Henry had had in a long time...

After the general had dismissed Henry after giving him his pardon, he walked around the base, looking for Charles.

Eventually, he finds him.

Not far from the base, there was a very pretty cliffside, overlooking a breathtaking view of the sea. It was a perfect place to watch the sunset, and Charles was standing at the cliff edge, doing just that.

The sun was just now dipping into the ocean, making the water sparkle like millions of gemstones.

Henry smiled. "Hmm..."

It was beautiful, but he wished he could see how it looked in color...

He walks up behind Charles. "Hey."

Charles turns to him. "Oh hi!" he said with a smile.

Henry smiled back, going to stand next to him.

Looking at the pilot, Henry could tell his hair looked really soft, and his smile was charming. His headset framed his face really well.

He was really cute...
'No Henry, now's not the time for gay thoughts!' he thinks to himself with a faint blush..

Charles was also wearing sunglasses for some reason, so Henry couldn't see his eyes.

"What's up?" Charles asked.

Henry scratches his neck. "W-well, i know technically we met earlier, but..." he giggles nervously. "I want a proper introduction."

He offers a hand. "Hi! My name's Henry."

Charles giggled. "Nice to meet ya, I'm Charles!" he says, shaking it.

Henry smiled. "Nice to meet you too!"

He lets go, then steps a little closer. "So, you're a helicopter pilot, huh?"

Charles nods. "Yup. been flying for about 6 years now."

"Wow." Henry says. "Do you like doing it?"

Charles smiles. "Oh yeah! I love flying in the chopper."
