(something you should know before reading: these two live in a soulmate AU. Half of the population has heretochromania soulmates, meaning they have two different colored eyes: one is their own color, one is their soulmate's eye color. They other half of the population have doodle soulmates, where whatever they write or draw on their skin appears on their soulmate's skin in the same spot. But there is an extremely rare kind of soulmate, where they cannot see colors. When they touch their soulmate, they can see color. Alex and Marius are those kinds of soulmates)

Alex hummed, smiling up at Marius. They had never been too close with the two's different personalities, but he was realizing how funny Marius was. 'You're acting like a love sick girl!' His mind screamed at him, but he pushed it away. It was funny, the way Marius and Alex both had red, white, and blue stripes on their cheeks but neither could really see the colors. Neither knew what the colors looked like. They'd never seen them before.

Their heads whipped to the side as Gwen called to Alex from the stage. She was initiating the firework show to the campers, and she obviously needed help. Alex gave Marius an apologetic glance, scampering away. Daniel sauntered up to Marius, making him flinch. Daniel was creepy to almost everyone. Except for David. Speaking of David, he never usually stays away from his soulmate. Marius glanced up to see David sitting on the side of the stage, fiddling with a lighter.

Alex hopped up onto the stage... Well, more like crawled up onto it by placing his chest on the wooden stage and jumped up to have the momentum to swivel the rest of his body onto the stage. "Why doesn't this have stairs..." He grumbled, face flushing as he heard the teenage camper's laughs. "Shut up, Ariel." He yelled, pointing out the giggling camper. Her face turned as red as her hair, not that Alex could see anything but a grey hue, creating a new ripple of laughter.

"ALRIGHT CAMPERS." Everyone closed their mouths at that. "Okay, everyone go to the soccer field. We are going to set off fireworks up here. The last one will be a large rainbow like thing. I dunno. Anyway, go! With some pep and speed, my little pains!" Alex yelled, watching as campers scampers away. Haha, you can't spell scamper without camper. He watched Logan pick up his little soulmate, putting him on his shoulders. Alex laughed. "Alright, Gwen. Marius is scared of fire, so he's not lighting any and I'm gonna sit with him so it's all you and David."

Gwen opened her mouth to protest, but Alex has already hopped off the stage. Gwen grumbled behind him, and David yelled, "Get him, kiddo!" Alex blushed, growling a bit. He sat next to Marius, who had managed to get Daniel away from him without having to sip his grape kool-aid.

"Yo." Alex said as he sat down on the grass next to the tall boy, running a hand through his hair. Marius gave him a smile, and Alex let out a tiny scream as the first firework went off with a loud boom, not knowing they had started. Marius laughed, shaking his head. Alex glared at him, turning to face the stage again. Marius glanced at him, staring for a minute. He couldn't get over this counselor beside him.

Alex had pretty black hair that he pulled into a black ponytail with a little falling into his face. His eyes were grey to Marius, but he assumed his eyes were that "blue" color. He was almost paper white, with sick grey eye bags from too many sleepless nights. He had a septum piercing, silver and shining in the moonlight. He was gross to most people, too goth and weird, but Marius thought he was gorgeous.

Marius looked away quickly, his face warming. They watched throughout the firework show, waiting for the finale. Alex glanced at Marius, then at his hand. A little touch couldn't hurt. He should have been trying to find his soulmate. He scooted his thin hand across the grass a few inches and placed his little hand on top of Marius's. As the final firework rocketed into the sky, their worlds burst into colors. Greens, blues, reds, purples, and yellows.

Marius gasped as he saw the rainbow firework shoot into the sky. He felt the small hand on his, and he looked over to see Alex. He was still beautiful, especially as his face was lit up in awe and his eyes reflected the fireworks. He turned to Marius, eyes filling with tears. "It's you." Was all he could manage before bursting into tears. Marius tackled him, watching his expression as he fell from his seated position onto his back. His blue eyes - blue - were wide and filled with tears.

Marius wiped a few away before kissing all over his face. "It's you." He kissed his nose. "It's you." He kissed one cheek. "It's you." He kissed the other cheek. "It's you." He kissed his forehead. "It's you!" He kissed him on the lips, cupping the pale boy's cheeks with his hands. Alex sobbed into the kiss, kissing back with a passion. They had found each other. The rested their foreheads together, eyes closed for a moment before both of them began to laugh.

They had found each other in someone they never expected.
