your every color // Phan AU

Slightly inspired by the Train song 'Your Every Color'.

AU where when you are born, you can see every colour except for the colour of your soulmates eyes. They are the same way, but once you meet for the first time and look into their eyes you can finally see this new colour you have only heard about in stories.

Meet Phil Lester. A seventeen year old boy in his last year of high school (idk much about British school systems so this will have to do) who's hopelessly given up on finding his soulmate. The reason? He can already see every colour. He's always been able to see everything, or so he thought, and that's why he's lived the last few years believing there's no one out there who could ever love him. That he already has everything he's going to get, so why would he deserve someone else? He spends his days with his friends, some who have found their soulmates, and some who are endlessly looking. But not Phil. He gave up too long ago to have any hope left.

Now meet Dan Howell. New in town and and just looking for a way to escape the torment that has followed him for years across the country. Sadly, he too has given up finding his soulmate. A long, long time ago. He used to be mocked by kids when he was younger as the kid who 'couldn't see any colours'. They would say he was doomed to a life alone because who could ever love someone who has nothing? Sadly, his life full of nothing but darkness perfectly matched what he felt inside. There was light everywhere in the world around him except in himself.

That is until Phil goes to the park to take some pictures and sees a boy shaking on the outer railing of a bridge, dressed in all white with light brown hair that mirrored his own, he saved that boy and his world changed forever.
