Colour Me Blue - Eret

Listen, I have never written Eret except the headcanons I used to do. I’ll do some more headcanons soon. Also for this piece I’m only going to use they/them for Eret but in the future I’ll mix it up more.

Inspiration is Colour Me Blue by Akane (listen to it, it’s very good /nf)

Genre: I needed fluff after some of the angst I’ve written (whoops totally don’t have angst ready for posting tomorrow or day after)

Warnings: none I think. If I miss anything, don’t be shy and let me know!

Characters: Eret, Y/N

“You know you’re wonderful, right?” Eret looked over to their partner, Y/N, smiling from ear to ear. The two were sat outside together, watching some clouds.

“Yes.” Y/N laughed softly, before continuing. “You tell me every day. Lately I’ve believed it. The longer you go telling me, the more I’ve actually believed you. Crazy how that works.”

Eret’s smile only seemed to grow. “Like hypnotism,” they joked, “although, jokes aside, I’m really glad. You deserve to feel good about yourself. You deserve to be happy, Y/N.”

“So do you.” Y/N looked to Eret, tilting their head and drawing their knees to their chest. “You deserve it just as much as I.”

“I am happy.”

The two smiled fondly at each other, then laid down to look up at the sky, which was slowly bleeding oranges and reds. The end of the day was slowly approaching.

“You know,” Eret spoke, breaking the sweet silence, “we spent so long dancing around the fact that we liked each other.”

Y/N thought for a long time, the silence stretching on but in no uncomfortable sort of way. That was true, the two had liked each other for so long, yet it was only recently that they realised it.

“Yeah. You’re right.” The two shared a quiet laugh, before the silence took over again. The clouds took on a pinkish colour as the day’s end crept through the sky, reaching as far as it could go, before finally the darkness swallowed the warm colours, which gave way to night. Stars poked through the darkness. Still, the two watched the sky.

Y/N rolled onto their side to look at Eret, who still stared up at the sky. What luck Y/N had to be able to be this way with them. To bond like this.

As they lay there, all Y/N could think was, We should do this more often.

“I’ll make more time for this kind of stuff.” Eret looked over.
