Colors are hard for Anxiety. He can't see them properly or distinguish between hues of colors. The others would have never known if Anxiety had a say in it. He didn't want them to think him weirder than they already did. This was the reason he wore black all the time. Black was easy and he didn't have to bother color coordinating and accidently revealing his secret. 

His plan of never revealing that he's color blind was going really well, but nothing last forever, not even this. The others had recently that everyone needed a shared hobby, 'so they could bond'. 

They had decided on painting after watching what could only be described as way too many Bob Ross videos. Anxiety was panicked, painting meant colors and that would reveal him in a second flat.

"What am I gonna do? They're gonna find out? I'm screwed!" Anxiety thought as the dragged him out of his rooms and into the commons. Anxiety had tried everything he could to get out of this, saying he had plans, faking sick, and threating to fight all of them, but alas nothing worked so here he was holding a dripping paint brush and trying not to freak out.

"Come on Anxiety, don't be a party pooper and just paint something." Morality said before trying to explain to Logic how to paint.

"I have an idea. Morality can help Logic out while I help Anx!" Prince exclaimed before scooching really close to Anxiety. 

"I'm fine, I don't need your help, so just move back." Anxiety said a twinge of fear in his voice, that he hoped no one noticed.

"Then paint something if you don't need my help, even though I represent creativity," Prince said smugness very apparent in his voice. 

Anxiety gave up. He just let go. He was done hiding. "OK you got me Princey, I can't see freaking colors happy?" he said before walking away, trying not to cry. He hide in his room for a few minutes before he heard a knock on his door. He opened it and saw the others.

"Anxiety it's ok you don't need to be embarrassed by being color blind." a concerned Morality said.

"He's right color blindness is an inherited trait and not something you can control." Logic said like it was the most obvious thing in the world."

"Anx, kitten, please just come out. We won't judge you. We just want to talk." Prince said clearly worried and bit guilty. Anxiety slowly left his room and the moment he was completely out he was pulled into a hug.

"I have a great idea! Let's watch a Bob Ross video, I'm sure you all know the one!" Prince exclaimed in an attempt to make things better. 

"Of course, Anxiety you'll love this one!" Morality said in complete agreement and so they watch the Bob Ross video where he painted in only gray for the color blind.
