Ryan Sitkowski- Soulmate Tumblr Prompt

Prompt: Soulmate AU where you can see every colour except for the colour of your soulmate's eyes until you meet them.

It was such a popular colour, grey had now become her favourite colour. It was the trees, it was hair and it was teddy bear fur. So many of the things she went to as a child when she would be physically locked in a landfill of a house. She even had to dye her hair to see anything besides the grey in it. But at least she could see the ocean and the sky, as well as the fresh, naive eyes of her younger cousins. Unlike whoever she ended up with. They could not say the same as she could.

It was at work when her favourite colour changed away from the grey finally. When she looked in the mirror and for the first time saw her roots growing in to the black dye, and the fresh freckles that seemed to magickally appear on her cheeks and face. The previously empty cosmetics shop now had one other person, a surprisingly familiar face. The only times she could see anything besides grey were looking at the pictures of her favourite guitarist. The only way she could see brown before, and it lasted only with the pictures. Once she looked away, the bookcase in her room would still be grey. She had to stop, double check he was for sure the only other person in the shop before she left her spot behind the counter to approach him. "Anything I can help you with?"

"Uh..." He seemed unprepared, almost startled to be approached. "Well, what do you recommend?"

"You use a lot of red and black makeup for your stage work don't you? I have some single pans of eyeshadows for those colours if you would be interested in them," the shorter woman informed him.

"You're familiar with my band?" He smiled to her a little bit for her comment about his stage work.

"My favourite actually," she admitted, a smile of her own forming in return to his. "I'm Grimly by the way.:

"Ryan, although you know that already. Hey, what's your eye colour called? I don't think I'm familiar with it," he now admitted.

"They're blue. What about yours?" Grimly told him.

"Brown." They both paused for a moment before he continued. "Hey, when do you get off? Maybe we could hang out since apparently I'm in your favourite band."

"My best friend and I own the store and the makeup brand. I just have to let her know that I'm leaving and I'll be free to go with you now," she told Ryan.
