Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ The Sanction Of Color ❯ Chapter One ( Chapter 1 )

~Chapter One~ Seven Years later...

Trowa poked the sleeping boy again. Judging from the look of him, he was the same age as the rest of them...if a little small. When the boy finally opened his eyes Trowa let out a sharp whistle to call his friends to his find.

Joben was the first to arrive. Within seconds of the whistle he'd appeared out of the shadows.

"You find a stray, Silence?"

"Seems like it, Suzuki [1]."

"Hm. I'll go get Shinigami, and see what he says."

Trowa nodded and watched Joben melt back into the shadows he had come from, not an easy task with bright red hair, before turning back to the boy he had found. He hadn't moved an inch from his original position or uttered a word.

Trowa watched him with an intense curiosity he didn't let show. The boy was one of the best looking he'd ever seen on L2. And more than that, he wasn't wearing colors, which was a rarity in these parts. If you didn't have colors you didn't last long. He would have pondered the problem longer, if not for Duo showing up accompanied by the rest of the group, hidden in the shadows of the dim alley.

"Did he give you any problems, Silence?"

"No."

"Good, let me have a closer look."

Walking over to where the boy was sitting propped against the side of the building, Duo's eyes widened slightly. Wow, he thought a little dazedly, this boy was good looking, Thick chocolate brown hair, even if it was a little messy, accented by the largest prussian blue eyes he'd ever seen. And he wasn't claimed, which was a bit of a mystery. Didn't he know that, here, colors kept you alive? Well there's no time like the present to find out.

[1] Not Suzaku from Fushigi Yuugi, I only picked it because it means Phoenix in Japanese I I didn't know how to say Phoenix in Spanish...the fact that they both have red hair is entirely coincidental.
