The Colors of Love

Chapter 4

John smiled and took his arm as they walked down the street. "So Alex. Where is your family from?'

Alex thought for a moment. "Unimportant." He said which confused John a bit.

John looked at him. "Well I'm from South Carolina."

Alex nodded and looked at him. "I've never been there. Maybe you could take me one day."

John smiled "So Alex where do you work? " He asked basically skipping at this point.

Alex walked with him trying to keep up his pace. "Well I'm in college right now. I got a full scholarship to Princeton."

John looked at him. "That's amazing! You must be a proper genius!" He said in awe.

Alex blushed and looked away. "Well I guess...I'm not a genius though." He chucked.

John smiled "Anyone that gets a full scholarship to Princeton is definitely a genius."

Alex blushed bright as they arrived at the coffee shop. They were about to walk in when John got a call. It was Lafayette calling him into work.

He sighed. "Hey Alex I'm really sorry but I have to go to work."

Alex smiled. "It's alright...but only if you take me out tomorrow."

John chuckled and nodded. "It's a promise." He said before kissing Alex on the cheek and running down the street.

Alex stood there shocked for a few moments before he felt an awfully familiar feeling in his eyes. They had changed into a new color. One that they had never been before. "This can't be good" he sighed.

~Time Skip to a few weeks later~

John and Alex had been dating for a while and without thinking Alex had invited John to sleep over.

Alex had his glasses on the entire night much to John's disappointment.

That was until Alex took a shower. He thought John was in the living room so he walked into his room and found John sitting on his bed.

John looked at him as Alex froze. "Woah!" John said looking into Alex's eyes which were now a vibrant purple.

Alex began panicking for his glasses before John grabbed his wrists. "Calm down." He said smiling warmly.

Alex looked into John's eyes and smiled back. His eyes then turned a pale pink causing John to gasp. "They change color?"

Alex blushed and looked away. "Yeah.....they...um change with my mood and feelings." He said sitting down.

John sat with him and grabbed his hand. "Well what do the different colors mean?"

Alex pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to John. The paper had Alex's terrible handwriting on it. The paper said...

Yellow-happy
Blue-sad
Red-angry
Purple-fear
Green-disgust
Orange-jealousy
White-depression
Black-loathing
Silver-nervous

John studied the list and nodded before he noticed something. "What about pink?

Alex looked up. "Huh?"

John looked into Alex's eyes. "Your eyes are pink. What dose pink mean?"

Alex shrugged and looked down. "I-I don't know. They had never been pink before I met you."
