Sorry that it took me so long, anon. It's kind of corny, but... oh well. Matsuka still remembered the way lakes looked different if you were far away. The further away you were, the bluer water appeared. It was only when you got up close that you would realize that water doesnt actually have a color. It merely reflects the sky.
Keiths eyes were like that. Though at a distance, they were grey instead of blue. It was only when Matsuka bent over his desk and dared to glance sideways that Keiths eyes were suddenly filled with color.
What are you looking at? Keith said suddenly, and Matsuka jerked back, nearly knocking over the cup of coffee he had just placed on the desk.
Nothing! he replied unconvincingly.
Keiths eyes narrowed. I hope I dont have to warn you about touching me, he said, his voice flat like steel. There was the soft sound of him loosening his gun in its holder.
Matsuka backed away. It wasnt so much that he was afraid of getting shot with the stunner again. It wasnt even that he was afraid of dying should he get shot with something worse. It was that he wanted to see the colors in those eyes again.
And he wondered vaguely what the grey in Keiths eyes was a reflection of.
