The Red To My Grey

Part one

 Peter Parker didn't expect much to happen that day.

Some boring classes, Flash being a dick, Ned fanboying about Peter's late-night activities as Spiderman ... He was tired anyway, so maybe he hoped that nothing much would happen.

Everything went all right – as all right as high school could be, that was -, but then it was lunch break, and his spidey senses were tingling. He probably should've paid more attention to it, but this was high school, which meant that danger was around every corner. It probably was just Flash about to call him 'Penis Parker' again.

That happened a lot.

Ned was rambling about the Star Wars movie he'd seen last night, when MJ appeared. Peter didn't really know how it had happened, but Michele had become one of his best friends in a short time, even though it seemed like she could say nothing but sarcastic remarks. He liked that about her, though, she wasn't afraid to say what she thought. She was the complete opposite of Ned, as she kept him with his feet on the ground. And he might have needed that sometimes.

"So, there's a new girl at school and I've said she could sit with us." Michele said it as if it was the most normal thing in the world, but both Peter and Ned knew better. It wasn't like her to casually invite new people over.

She just took a bite from her sandwich when she noticed the boys staring at her. "What? She seems cool."

A big smile appeared on Ned's face. "I trust your judgement, MJ." The girl threw him a weird look, to which Ned answered with an only bigger smile. Peter hadn't known it was even possible.

His spidey senses started tingling right when Michele looked up. "Oh, there she is!" A genuine smile appeared on her lips, something both boys weren't used to see on their friend. About just as much as seeing MJ waving to the person behind them.

When Peter turned around, the first thing he noticed were your eyes, that were anxiously looking around. The second thing was how your mouth curved into a small smile when you saw Michele, and how you trembled a little, nervous to be in this totally new environment.

It was only when he looked into your eyes again, that he noted something new. Your eyes didn't look grey, like Ned's or MJ's, but he saw a twinkle and ... a colour, only he didn't know which colour he was looking at yet. But he didn't mind, because it was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen in his life. His eyes grew wide with understanding once he noticed that not only you, but everything else was suddenly so much brighter than it was before.

"Dude! Stop staring!" Ned poked him with his elbow, his excitement making the nudge a little too hard. But Peter didn't care, because he didn't feel like he could focus on anything other than the girl in front of him. You were the most beautiful person he'd ever seen, and maybe that was just because you were the first person he'd seen in colour. Or maybe he was a little biased because you were his soulmate ...

His soulmate. You were his soulmate.

"Ned." Peter tried to tap his friend on the shoulder, but it was as if he couldn't get his eyes of you, so he ended up patting him on the head instead. He didn't care. "It's her, Ned. It's her!"

"What?"

"Dude." MJ interrupted Ned, who Peter was sure was looking at him with confusion written over his face. Peter didn't look, though, because his eyes were trained on the girl who was now standing in front of them, shy smile plastered on your pretty face.
