Color. It's something our brain makes up. It doesn't really exist. So how come everyone made a big fuss about meeting and touching their soulmate so they could see in color? After all, what's so bad about black and white? Aren't they colors too? That's what Nico thought anyway. When he was younger he had tried to imagine a new color but had never been able to. His sister had died seeing the world in black in white. Nico didn't see the point of color. That is, until he touches his soulmate and sees what he's been missing out on... Edited January 2024.

Nico di Angelo is a Guardian--a near-human species that has gone nearly extinct and is hardly known outside of minority religious circles. In the nearby village, he's known instead as the Monster due to the king's relentless hunting teams sent to find and kill the strange entity. Will Solace is having a particularly bad day, which is why he's desperate enough for companionship that he's spent the last few agonizing hours talking to the person who's been stalking him. But despite Will's desire for a friend, the truth about his stalker makes him rethink everything. Nico and Will meet, accuse each other of trying to kill each other, and slowly learn to lean on each other. The only problem with their deepening relationship: Guardians and humans have a sacred pact to prevent war between species--and rule number one is that there shall be no romance between Guardians and humans. Together, they embark on a perilous journey, battling against the odds to defy fate and carve out a future where acceptance and understanding can flourish amidst the shadows of intolerance. - Currently under edits. - I KNOW IM SUPPOSED TO BE UPDATING MY OTHER STORIES BUT I LIKE THIS ONE.

Nico is deaf. He uses sign language, and can read lips. He scraped up enough money to go to college, but it's not the best college. There's homophobic Octavian and his gang...and the absolutely terrible teachers. Also, Nico doesn't have a roommate to stick up for him. He never minded though, because not having anyone was better than having another probably homophobe to deal with. - Will moved from America with his deaf sister and mom. His new college just happens to be Nico's....

"Two whole months of free laundry in exchange for two weeks of being my fake boyfriend. Deal?" Keith hesitated for a moment. Was this really worth it? Hardly.
