Before he met Tamaki, Kyouya had always thought of blue as a cold color. It reminded him of glacier fed lakes beneath deceptively cold, brilliant winter skies. But that all changed the first time Kyouya looked, really looked, into Tamaki's eyes and let himself see the warmth and kindness there. It lurked, almost hidden under the silly boy who who annoyed Kyouya to his very core.

Suddenly blue was the color of soft petaled flowers and warm seas. A constant reminder of places, things, and people who warmed him from the inside out.
