WARNINGS: LIKE 2 BAD WORDS AND IMPLIED SMUT

My name is Rose, Rose Brown. I'm 24 years old. My parents tell me that I have brown hair and brown eyes. I have no idea what the color brown looks like, So I wouldn't really know. My world is black and white, so I wear black and white clothes so I don't end up looking like an idiot to those who have met their soulmate. I know that I'm an abnormal case. You're supposed to meet your soulmate by 20. Guess that makes me special, then.  You're supposed to start seeing flashes of color as you get closer to them apparently.

I walk into my anatomy lecture and sit down in my usual spot kind of towards the front. I'm a little early, so I take my time getting my stuff out. There's a new boy in class today. He looks about my age. He's kind of cute. He has shaggy hair that falls into his face and kind, light eyes. As far as I can tell he's tall. He's sitting down, though, so it's kind of hard to tell. He's sat down a few desks away and one row forward.

As I'm looking at him, he turns around and looks at me. My breath hitches in my throat as I see a flash of something that's not black, white, or grey. He must notice it too, because his eyes get wide, and he gets up and moves towards me.

"Hi. I-I'm Al-Alex." he stutters out, clearly nervous.

"I-I'm R-Rose." I stutter in reply, nervous to see if he really is my soulmate.

"Okay everyone, sit down and open your textbooks to page 324." Our anatomy professor says.

We both audibly sigh, and he moves back to his desk. The rest of the lecture is spent with us both catching glimpses of one another and smiling shyly.

At one point he lifts his notebook up that says,
"Can I see you after class? :)" I nod with a smile at that and he smiles as well. His smile is so cute. It's kind and warm, and it always reaches his eyes.

The end of class doesn't come quick enough, as I start seeing glimpses of things that aren't black and white more frequently.

When class finally ends he gets his stuff together quickly and comes over to my desk.

"You see them too, right?" he asks as he reaches me.

"The flashes of not black or white?" I ask to be certain of what he was talking about.

He nods and I nod in return. He reaches out and tucks a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
We both gasp as our worlds explode with color. His eyes are a bright vibrant color, and his surprised expression matches my own.

"I've waited so long to find you." I finally say quietly.

"I can say the same. I'm 24. How old are you?" He asks.

"I'm 24, too." I say.

"Well, as cute as this is, class is over. Continue this conversation somewhere else please." Our professor says.

"Yes, sir." we both say and walk out of the classroom.

"Do you maybe want to go get a coffee with me?" he asks shyly, looking at his feet.

"Alex, you're my soulmate. Of course I want to go get coffee with you. Just let me put my stuff in my pickup and I'll walk with you to the coffee shop down the road if you want." I say.

"Yeah, that sounds great! I'll walk with you to your pickup." he exclaims, his bright eyes wide with excitement.

"Alright. Come on, then. My pickup's this way." I tell him while walking towards my pickup.

The walk to my pickup can't be longer than a minute or two, and I throw all of my stuff in the backseat and lock it. As we start the walk to the coffee shop down the road, we kind of start getting to know each other.
