{ tsukishima kei x reader | drabble } 

---

When she speaks, it's similar to Tadashi. Warm oranges and pinks swirl around her, and through his eyes that sting with tears, he can hear her voice clearly. Words of love flow from her lips, and a single hand is pressed to his chest. It's soft, and through the shadowy black, he can feel a soft, warm, yellow where her hand lingers.

He can't breathe. It's a fact that dawns on him; and it feels more and more like suffocation, and the warm yellow leaving his chest soon becomes a dark shadow once more, and her words fade out again. Coughs and wheezes escape his chapped lips, as he struggles to breathe, his knees pulled close to his chest; lanky arms surrounding. He's alone, he's alone, and he can't do a damn thing about it.

A soft orange floats in from amidst the darkness, and she's speaking. She's speaking again, and it's the most beautiful thing he has heard, and his lungs seem to function slowly, and tears stream down his cheeks. He's not sure if it's out of relief, or if it's because of something else, but at least he can breathe.

He can't really see too well; even as the black fog clears from his vision and mind, leaving nothing but the soft pink. It's all fuzzy, but he can breathe once more, and she's there, soothing as always, and something slips from his lips. It's a chuckle. Coated with tears, and he coughs in between, but it's there. He apologizes, and the colour around her seems to fade as he talks, so he shuts up. 

A smile graces her lips, and she laughs. The colours she emits seems to swirl like fresh cotton candy, and seep into his being; letting relief flood through him, as she pulls him close for a hug. 

And everything is just a little bit better.

"omg mina !!! !stop writing drabbles !!! ! !  ! ! " me, to myself, probably. im always a slut for purple prose, tbh.

update: 9/2/2016 the title has been changed to chromesthesia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromest… ) due to me being educated by one of my readers. in no way was this supposed to romanticize it, if only a fic of the reader comforting kei, but i do apologize if it comes off that way. 

again, please tell me if you'd like me to take this down, and i'll be more than happy to.

(i told jen i was gonna write angst )
