Color

Soulmate AU (you see black and white till you meet your soulmate)

I was at home in my bed reminiscing memories of my past where I could see colour. I remembered how beautiful colors looked when there was a rainbow or when the sun set. The day my soulmate died it happened in a blink of an eye, one second I could see color and the next everything faded to black and white. I was in a park and when that happened I collapsed to my knees and cried my eyes out. I later found out my soulmate died in a fatal car crash. I think that day my heart died too. These days I have been trying to survive, yes I missed my soulmate but it has been 3 years. I've been trying to move but it was hard, I kept questioning myself 'how much time will this take to heal? Will it ever heal?' My friends have told me that they have heard some people who get new soulmates after their soulmate dies but I didn't want to get my hopes up of finding my possible other half. I was scared, I didn't know how much more pain my heart could take. Today I decided to visit that park again, sure there were painful memories there but there were many good ones too. I missed seeing all the different pretty flowers there and even though they now looked dull I had a feeling in my heart telling me to go there today. I dragged myself out of bed and got ready. When I got to the park I went to sit on a bench that had the view of all the pretty flowers. I would let out small smiles whenever dogs would walk past with their owners because even though everything was in black and white I could still see how happy they were. I put my earphones in and closed my eyes picturing the scenery I could once see. A tear ran down my face as I smiled a sad smile as my mind drifted to when I would come to this park with my soulmate. When I opened my eyes again I wiped away the tear and looked at the flowers. I spotted a red rose and smiled but then realised 'Wait. Did I just see red?' 'How?!' Shocked I got up abruptly walked towards the rose. But as I got closer the color started to fade. I even tried rubbing my eyes but when I opened them the rose was grey once again. 'Am I going crazy?'😓
Each and Everyday I started to come to the park and every day I would see more and more flowers fill with color. Everytime I thought I was going crazy but when I told my friends about it they would tell me maybe my soulmate keeps passing by but you never notice. So today I tried my best not to get distracted by my need to see the colors when the flowers brightened with color. As soon as I saw a flower colored I ripped my gaze from it and looked around me. I stood up and looked around and I felt like I was playing of a game of hot or cold. When I was closer I saw more color so much I almost got distracted at the blue sky. Blue..oh how I miss the sky being blue. My mind drifted for a second then I snapped out of it as it began to fade to grey again. I panicked looking around running everywhere trying to chase the colors. I must have looked crazy but I was scared I missed color so much. I was starting to tear up. As my surroundings turned back to black and white I fell to my knees and cried. I went home that day feeling hopeless. The next morning I woke up and decided ok one last time. I need to find my soulmate so I put on the most colourful outfit I could find in my closet I could find. I then walked out to the park with determination in my eyes. I went to sit at the same bench again but instead of staring at the flowers trying to spot which one brightens up I looked at every person who walked by. Today it happened a lot later the usual. I was almost losing hope thinking I was too late. But then I saw the grass and sky light up with their beautiful green and blue. I looked around slightly frantic wanting to find my soulmate badly. It's been a lonely 3 years. I then felt a tap on my shoulder as I was walking around trying to chase the colors that would lead me to my soulmate. "Sorry but I'm trying to find my soulmate and I really don't want to lose that person." Trying to brush off the person asking for help, usually I would love to help but I was on a mission today. "Well that's good cause so am I." My eyes widen as I turn around. When our eyes meet the world burst in color and it was like magic. Tears of joy are soon in both our eyes. Looking around then back at each other. My smile finally reached my eyes just like it did 3 years ago. She then pulls me into a hug and hugs me so tight I hug her as tightly back. It's been so long since I've felt safe in a hug. So long since my heart felt so alive. When we pull away from the hug she immediately pulls me in for a kiss on the lips and I melt into it. When we pull away I look up at her in awe finally getting to look at every inch of her face and memorise it. "Oh yea I'm Y/N by the way☺️." She chuckles also realising we skipped the intros and says "I'm Marthe."
