Soulmates series- Romanogers

Muddled Colors and Wishes On Stars

He woke up in the twenty first century, not expecting to find a soulmate.

That didn’t stop him from yearning and soughting after one. The white picket fence deep in the suburbs and creaking wooden floor with crusted paint peeling off the wall - he wants them, all of them. Even if he knows it’s impossible for a man like him to own one.

He’s busy fighting his own demons of blood and fallen bodies. There’s no one who’ll want a damaged soul like him, he thinks.

........

Love is for children.

That’s what they told her, what they programmed her to think.

And she believed it. The world is cruel, men are selfish and she didn’t do childish. 

Love is weakness and she’s courage and strength, not fragile and frail. I'm made of marble. 

No one wants a shell with no pearl inside anyways, she thinks.

......

He first met her in the helicarrier when the threat of an alien invasion hang on top of their heads. Fiery red. A gun strapped in her thigh. Black leather jacket. That’s all he remembered about her.

The color of her eyes was a mystery.

He wondered what shade of green it was. 

After all, green is missing from his list of colors.

......

She told him she could use some boost and as she show her his shield in his red, white and a color she couldn’t quite placed, she wondered if his eyes hold the same shade of blue.

The muddled-looking color must be blue. 

She’s never seen a shade before.

......

Then there was The Winter Soldier.

She tried to set him up with different people. He didn’t really pay attention to any of them.

His mind was occupied with her and how he wished she was his soulmate.

But he knew that love is for children in her opinion when they're both adults.

.......

She underestimated him - how fast he would get attached to her.

As much as she tries to suppress her feelings, she knew it was lurking in the corners of her heart.

She also knew, however, that it was pointless. No matter how much she wished they could be together, she doesn’t deserve him.

She’s tainted in red and he’s shining in white.

There was never a way for them to be together.

After the fall of SHIELD, everything was a clean slate and they could’ve start over.

They didn't.

.

Life seems to be laughing at them.

Because the moment she needed to go, was the first time they truly touched. 

He sees the specks of emerald in her eyes and then slowly, his surrounding of trees are tinted green.

So, she really is the one. He thought. 

“Did you... see that?” Amazed, hesitating, but… happy, even when life is crashing down on him.
