Gray (Camren one-shot)

Gray

"Mila out of all of the colors why the hell is gray your favorite?"

"Okay well the color gray in my mind represents lots of things like softness and quiet. But it also has an edge. Like when it rains and the gray clouds cover the sky, it represents sadness, but elephants are gray and they are beautiful. It represents death in the matter of being dark, but also life when you give a newborn a gray and blue blanket. It shows age with hair and speaks volumes in art. Gray is so underappreciated and I think that's sad because it's such an elegant color and it has so many dimensions to it. And I think that's beautiful."

"Wow Camz."

Lauren and Dinah looked at Camila in awe as she told them about her love for the bland color.

Camila turned away as her cheeks flushed with a brilliant crimson.

"Okay Lauren what's your favorite color?" Dinah asked, disregarding the fact that her best friend was literally the color of a spicy chili pepper.

"Black." She said flatly.

Dinah wasn't surprised by her answer so she just shook her head and looked at her, expecting the green-eyed girl to ask her the same question.

After about 3 minutes of her awkwardly staring she got annoyed.

"Okay cool. So my favorite color is purple because I look hella good in it and it's pretty" Dinah said in a huff then stood up and left the room leaving the two girls sitting alone.

"Camzi?"

"Yeah?"

Camila was not expecting the conversation to take the twist it was about to take.

"Have you ever realized that we are all basically numbers? Like humans are all numbers. We are classified by our social security number, birthday, license plate number, hell even our school id number. I don't know I just find it weird. You know?"

Camila was taken off guard so she just laughed.

"Yeah Laur it's weird." Camila was feeling every ounce of awkward, she was practically shitting rainbows of awkwardness and couldn't hide it.

"Haha so aliens huh? Do you think they are real?" Camila mentality slapped herself. Aliens? Really? What the fuck was wrong with her?

"Umm yeah definitely. I mean we can't be the only ones in this universe." Lauren was starting to feel uncomfortable and hoped that Dinah would come back and save her.

"Actually Camila I need to talk to you about something. The other night when we went out to the movies, when you slipped your hand in mine, I just wanted to know is maybe... I don't know maybe I'm overthinking this. Maybe I'm just making assumptions. I don't want to be delusional and think I still have a chance with you. I know I blew it when we were together. I just, I miss-" she was cut off by Camila's lips feverishly attaching to hers.

Camila and Lauren both kissed each other with passion, hunger, and love. So much love. Their relationship in the past was undoubtedly toxic. Their was lying, cheating, and miscommunication. They were messy and in the end just gave up on each other. But what never left was the love they had between them. The love is what got them through even the darkest times and what has brought both of them back into the light. Even though they took a break, in the long run its what they needed.

Their relationship was like an abstract painting full of vibrant and neutral colors. They had blue for the sadness they endured during the break up. Dark gray occurred when the longing for each other was too much and forced a tsunami wave of tears to flood their eyes. But loving each other was red. It was red in the sense of finality. That they knew in their hearts that they were soul mates. They were written in the stars. And even when the strongest of forces tried to tear them apart somehow they were always brought back together.

The kiss they shared was one for the books. It was the start of a new beginnings but also a continuation of what was already there.

In that moment they felt like nothing could ever bring them down.
