Curiosity {Joshler}

17. Aura - An emanation surrounding the body of a living creature.

"Do you have a favorite color?"

Josh nodded. "Pink, because it's the color of the sky back home. I also like happiness."

Tyler laughed. "Happiness isn't a color!"

"It is!" Tyler expected Josh to be joking, but the alien boy seemed serious as he sat up and frowned indignantly.

"What do you mean?"

Josh blinked. "You can't see it?"

"See what?"

"Auras. Seeing what colors somebody else is feeling."

Tyler shook his head. "You can see that?"

"Yeah. I thought you could, too."

Curious, Tyler sat up. "What color am I?"

Josh cocked his head to one side and squinted. It gave Tyler a weird feeling in his stomach, like butterflies. "Yellow. You're happy."

"What does it look like?"

"It's a soft glow...it doesn't dull or otherwise alter any of the colors you already have, but it's still there."

"What color are you?"

"I'm yellow, too." Josh smiled at him. "I'm happy."

Tyler smiled back.

A/N: AHHHHH ALL THE FLUFF

Also, this chapter made the song "Yellow" by Coldplay get stuck in my head -_-

That's probably the theme song for this book, actually
