~Narrator POV~
In this world everything you see is black, grey, and white; literally and figuratively. The only way that you can see the world in color is when you meet your soulmate. Although you are taught the names of the colors in school, you never see their true hue until the first time you touch each other. Then the world explodes into beautifully vibrant colors. It is quite amazing, it is like seeing spring for the first time after winters frost, or watching the flowers bloom in a field, or the sun coming out from behind the clouds and brilliantly illuminating the landscape. The most exciting part of this is that you have no idea who this person is, you just have to keep searching until you find them, granted some people don't believe in this and go on to marry other people throughout their lives, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.
~Your POV~
I was scared but excited as I walked into the SBPD prescient. It was my first day on the job, I was a rookie right out of training and was assigned to Detective Carlton Lassiter. I was told that he was a hard ass but I didn't mind, I saw his picture and he seemed like he was mean at first but I knew I would wear him down eventually. I walked up the steps slowly and looked at the beautiful architecture of the building, all the sudden two men ran up the steps past me, one who I guess was named "Gus" was dressed nicely and yelling at the one apparently named "Shawn" who was carrying a... pineapple? I shook my head and continued into the building. I walked up to the small office right inside the door and smiled at the lady who was doing some paperwork.
"Hi, my name is (Y/n) (Y/l/n), it's my first day!" I hand her my I.D. Card and she hands it back and smiles to me. "Welcome then, who do you happen to be looking for?"
"I'm looking for Chief Vick and Detective Carlton Lassiter."
"Well Chief Vick's office is around the corner on the left, and I'm guessing you'll meet Detective Lassiter in there with her."
"Thank you very much Ma'am." I smiled brightly and walked to the office as instructed, I opened the door and I saw the two men who had jogged past me on my way in arguing with who I guessed was Chief Vick, Detective Lassiter was leaning against the glass wall to the side looking very irritated. I stood in the door way for a second waiting to be told I was allowed in. Chief Vick looked up at me and said,
"Shawn be quiet for a moment. You must be the new trainee."
"Yes Ma'am I am."
"Come in then, don't just wait out in the hall."
She held out her hand to shake and I did so, she smiled at me.
"Ooo who's the cutie?" Shawn asked looking me up and down. "How would you like me to deduce your life story sweetheart?"
"Umm, no thank you, and you know I'm a guy right?"
"Leave him alone Shawn!" Chief Vick interject. The one known as Shawn went quiet. Quickly she introduced "Shawn" and "Gus" as I had correctly assumed. I shook their hands then Chief Vick motioned to the Detective now standing up a little straighter then before.
"This is Detective Carlton Lassiter, he will be your new training officer and partner." I nod and he doesn't offer his hand to shake so I just stand up straight and smile at him, he returns my smile with a scowl.
"Follow me." Is all he says, he walks out of the small room and I can hear the bickering continue in the background as I continue to follow Lassiter to his desk. He picks up his badge, pulls out and checks the gun he has in his holster under his coat. Then walks outside to the Ford, Crown Victoria sitting in the parking lot.
"Ground rules of the car, one, no eating in the car, two, no slamming the door, three, do not, and I repeat, do not scratch a single piece of this car or I will personally kill you."
I nod and can't say anything because to be honest I am absolutely terrified of this guy. I slowly and carefully get into the car and close the door gently, next I put on the seatbelt. I then put my hands on my lap and try not to move. Lassiter starts up the car and pulls out of the parking lot. Fifteen minutes later we are headed to a check out a call of a body found in a field next to the Rose Flower Marina. All of the sudden a kid runs in front of the car and Lassiter slams in his breaks, I grab his arm, and almost in slow motion the world appears in brilliant colors, the car becomes a deep blue, my suit becomes a vivid grey, and Lassiter's becomes black, the kids hat is green and his shirt red. I look over at Lassiter and his eyes are a beautiful ocean blue, he is staring back at me then all of the sudden, a car horn sounds and pulls me out of my thoughts, I pull my hand off of his arm and he pulls the car over to the side of the road.
"Did, did, you just see what I just saw?"
I look over at him again.
"Colors, do you mean the colors?" He nods slowly then reaches out and his hand hovers next to my face.
"May I? May I touch your cheek?"
I nod and he runs his hand over my cheek and to my chin, then he traces my left cheek bone with his finger, he goes over my nose and ends at the tip of my right cheek bone. Suddenly he pulls his hand back but I keep staring into his eyes, it's almost as if he's holding me in a trance.
"Your eyes, they, they are so beautiful. The blue, it's amazing."
He smiles a little then shakes his head. "We should probably talk about this outside of work."
I turn and look forward. "Yeah I agree."
We drove to the location that we received over the police radio. When we get on scene we found out that the body was in fact that of a dead animal, not a human. I think the animal was a rabbit, it also appeared to be shot because one of its ribs was jagged and short. I believe it had been left there by the hunter, or possibly not found by the hunter or their dog, if they had one. I then went and took a "statement" from the elderly gentleman as Lassiter looked over the crime scene again then headed for the car. I followed and told the man to have a good day.
Neither of us said anything on the way back to the station. When we arrived I hurried inside to find Juliet sitting at her desk. I knew her from the Academy, I was a year younger then her but somehow we still became good friends.
"Juliet!"
"Hey (Y/n)! So glad to see you got out here finally."
"Okay so let's save the pleasantries for a moment because you are the only person I know here and I have an emergency!" I whisper yell.
"Umm, okay what is it?"
"I have to tell you outside." She nods and follows me outside. I turn to her and grab her shoulders.
"The colors, I can see the colors."
"Wait as in soulmate colors?"
I nod.
"Oh my gosh, that's amazing! What color is my hair?"
"Blonde, but not the point, it's about who my soulmate is."
"Well who is it?"
"It's Lassiter; I grabbed his arm when he almost hit a kid, the the colors just appeared."
"Oh, that's amazing though!"
"Yeah it is amazing but I don't know what to do. We have to talk about this don't we? Maybe over coffee? What do you think?"
"Yeah, coffee is a good idea, but take him to a small coffee shop, make sure it's relatively quiet. Don't surround him with people though, he doesn't like that." I nod then hug her tightly.
"You're such a life saver! You always know what to do; it's amazing."
She laughs a little, "Thanks, now go get your man!"
I walk back into the police precinct and head over to Lassiter's desk. He looks up at me, probably still getting used to seeing all the colors, so am I to be, completely honest.
"Hello Lassiter."
"Hello (Y/n)."
"I feel like we should talk about what happened earlier."
"Yeah me too, but not here, please."
I nod, he was right, work was not the place. "Agreed, how about we go to this small coffee shop I know, how does after work sound?"
"Sounds good."
Three hours later we are sitting in a coffee shop facing each other. We are both extremely nervous and can barely make small talk. I got tired of this and got up. I order two coffees to go then handed him one and walk outside and across the street to the sidewalk by the sand. He followed looking confused.
"What's wrong? Why did you get up and leave so suddenly?"
I look up at him and still can't believe how beautiful the color of his eyes, and skin are.
"I needed fresh air and I figured you did too. So the question still remains, do you think we should date?"
"Well the last time I dated my partner she got transferred. But I'm willing to take that risk for my soul mate, but only if your okay with it."
I watch the sidewalk as I walk along then look over at the ocean.
"Yes, I think I'm willing to take that risk."
I look over at him again then grab his hand and start walking along the sand. It was difficult until we got closer to the waters edge then I stopped and sat down, nice suit and all. Lassiter hesitated then followed my motivations, he awkwardly put his arm around my shoulders. I smiled and leaned my head on his shoulder.
"I have a feeling that this relationship is going to work out." I whisper.
"Me too." He says relaxing and even cracking a smile.
