Luke ran his hand anxiously through his hair as he sat on his porch, staring up at the grey sky. It was so strange to him - the rest of his world was in brilliant colour, and yet, blue seemed to be the thing that was missing. The hosepipe was a dull grey, the water from the sprinklers on the yard had no colour, and the sky was just bland, boring, and yet, Luke longed to see the picture completed. His parents had met in their teenage years, and here he was, at twenty two, wondering when it would be his turn. Standing to his feet, Luke decided that going for a walk would help him shake off the anxiety he was feeling. Stepping down the garden path, Luke touched the gate, grey as well, and hoped that maybe today could be the day.
Aiden sat inside the coffee shop; typing away at her laptop. When things were too busy at home, Aiden liked to come here to finish some reports that she'd promised her boss. She'd worked in a boring office for so long, and even without knowing the colour green, she knew that place was bland. Sipping her coffee, almost the same colour as her eyes, Aiden sighed, sitting back in her chair, tired and fed up. She was twenty now, and surely, Aiden should of known her soulmate by now. Everyone else she knew, apart from her best friend, had met theirs and their rainbow had been filled in, but Aiden's still remained blank.
