"So, tell me your favorite color,"
I wanted him to keep talking, guess what, didn't have anything else to say to I asked this cheesy thing.
"And how does it describe you?" Added, as I realised he would shut up after saying one word.
"The color your eyes hold in them, green. Deep, dark unfathomable green" My breathe hitched in my throat. My eyes were already on him, but widened to the size of saucers as he stated this.
Gulped the saliva, I pushed away the thoughts compelling me to become conscious about not blinking too much or not opening my eyes upto a little too large size.
'Sue me, I overthink.'
After a moment, When I felt like I'm able to speak. I did.
"H-how...does it describe you?" My voice didn't help me, I felt like I didn't even say a thing.
'Really? This is what you could do? It isn't even audible. Fuck your 'I'm able to speak'' Cursed myself internally.
Inhaling, he brushed his hair once with his slender fingers, he smiled.
"It tells my choice, doesn't it? Out of reddish brown sunsets, bright blue skies, dark blue oceans, I chose none of them. No honey brown eyes, lightest shade of hazel, I chose green. I chose woods."
"Woods?"
"Woods, far away from the city, the lights, the audience. Woods constituting nothing but wild. Just like the thoughts that fly around in your head, all wild and no pacific. Just like the creatures inside your soul, that make you mysterious,"
Goosebumps formed on my skin as he continued speaking.
"And I, I'm the boy lost in woods. I got no place to go, the lights scare me to death. The peace suffocates me. So I chose the woods, that has sounds echoing around, that has creatures that would eat me up alive. But I'm here to befriend them. I've my home in the woods,"
The color must've drained from my face. He smirked.
"What do you think? You're hiding it all good? I know you, I know who are you"
Good writing, I love the story.
