In a world where you can see someone's "true intentions" by the color of their eye

    Nico's POV

In all the years that Nico had known Will, his eyes had always changed from blue (happiness), pink (love), green (jealousy) and even sometimes red for anger. But they were almost always blue and pink. 

Everyone was born with gray eyes, but you usually couldn't see them. Those gray pupils were typically filled in with another color. A color to say how they were actually feeling, a color to show what their "intentions" are. 

Of course, that meant not everyone always saw the same color. Or maybe your eyes would have heterochromia for a while, maybe love and jealousy could be an example. Whether that meant one person saw green, and another saw pink, or if each one was one of each. 

Color intensity told you how strong that feeling was.

One thing that no one could ever understand was.. that sometimes the colors signified an emotion/intention into the future. That's how Hazel found out Frank was gonna propose. 

If you weren't feeling anything your eyes would most likely turn back to grey, but that was unlikely. Humans feel so many things, it'd be a wonder if they could stop.

The whole thing was pretty cool, it was hard for people to hide what they were feeling though. Orange was bragging/ smugness. Purple signified, in the simplest of terms, malice/evil/etc. Yellow was humor, etc.

"Nico!" turning around, I saw the love of my life. Will Solace. His blue and pink eyes sparkling, I bit back a gasp as I was engulfed into a hug. 

"How're you doing, Love?" cheeks reddening at the nickname, "I'm doing quite fine, thanks for asking" I laughed.

I grabbed his hands and placed them into my own, swinging it as we walked towards the cafe. 

"It's so weird not being in school anymore" Nico commented. 

"I know! But at least we got to finish together, thanks to you being such a smarty pants!" Will laughed, referencing to the fact Nico was two years younger than him and skipped two grades.

"Oh, shut up. I'm not that smart" I replied, smiling. 

"I love the way your eyes change color" eyes turning fully pink, "it makes you even more beautiful" 

Turning tomato red, I stammered out, while covering my face, "W-Will!"

Removing my hands from my face, he replaced them with his own onto my cheeks, "And you look so cute when you blush." he marveled. 

"Stoop" I whined. 

"Aw- is it a crime to compliment you, pumpkin?"

"Wiiiill"

"C'mon clementine, let's get to the cafe" I nodded, and grabbed hold of his hand, "Ahh, look at you! You're so cute, my wittle ray of sunshine." 

"Hey, Nico?" Will suddenly asked.

I looked up, "Y-Yeah?"

" Do you know any good bakeries around?...."

Scrunching my eyebrows in confusion I replied, "No? We're going to the cafe ar-"

"Cause I'd love a cutie pie like you" Nico's eyes were probably the darkest brown ever. Brown for embarrassment. 

"If I had a dollar for every time I thought about you-"

"W-Will! Please stop, I don't know how much of this my heart can handle" I whispered. 

Will grinned down at me, "Then I'd have a dollar, cause you never leave my mind."

Suddenly Will's smile faded, "Nico... you should really tie your shoe" pointing to the loose knot. 

I kneeled down to tie it when.. "Cause I don't want you falling for someone else!" 

Holding a groan back, I said, "Will.. " and hid my burning face into his shoulder.

(A few minutes later)

Finally reaching their destination Will looked at him and smiled. "Let's go Sunshine."

"Right back at ya" I grinned

Eyes gleaming pink, he winked and pulled him into the warm cafe. 

"'Ey Nico, Will! You're finally here. Wonderin' when you'd show up!" Matthew, the cafe owner shouted over the counter. "Hey, Matt" Will beamed, squeezing my hand. 

(I wonder if Nico's hand is sweaty by now. . ... )

I started walking towards the counter when Will pulled me towards the window table. "But- Will. We still need to order" I replied, thinking of the warm drink.

"I think Matt wants to bring it over to us" 

"Huh?" I looked at him in confusion. But he just responded with a wink.

As if waiting for that statement, Matt waltzed over and plopped down a (drink) and tiramisu. My eyes were immediately drawn to the Italian dessert, adorning it powdered chocolate and mascarpone cheese. 

Picking up one of those cute tiny dessert spoons. What were they called? 

"Hey Nico... we've been dating for over-" I'm pretty sure they're just called dessert spoons. 

"You mean more than anything-" Moving the spoon to the cake, I softly pressed onto the top, and almost squealed at how easily it went down. "---your smile...laughter...eyes-"

Holding/Lifting the spoon up into the air, I realized what a nice picture it was against Will's brown and pink eyes. Sadly, his phone was in the shop after being dropped off the apartment's balcony. 

"....love-" The event had been so bizarre to even explain in words that would make sense. 

Smiling to myself/himself, I brought the spoon to my mouth and placed the silky goodness into my mouth. 

". . .Nico? Are you listening?-" Will suddenly asked waving a hand in front of my face.

"Hmm?" I asked looking up and licking the cream off the spoon. 

Will's eyes suddenly became a dark brown, whilst his other eye's pinkness's intensity became deeper. 

Without warning, Will started laughing, "Ohgosh Neeks. Here I am proposing to you and you look like you're about to propose to your cake!"

Spoon falling from my finger and (thankfully) onto the table, I suddenly processed what Will had just said. "W-Wa-wh-What!" I stammered, cheeks becoming a burning, bright red. 

Taking a hold of my hands in the center of the table, both of his eyes glimmered a dark, gorgeous pink. "So. Nico di Angelo. Will you marry me? 

"Ah. I- I" eyes tearing up, I opened my mouth a few times before closing it. Looking around I say Matt mouthing, 'yes' to me. 

"Will. I- Yes!" Not even a second later Will was around the table and had pulled me into a hug. 

Alternative Ending (This was my original ending) 

Without warning, Will started laughing, "Ohgosh Neeks. Here I am proposing to you and you look like you're about to propose to your cake!"

Spoon falling from my finger and (thankfully) onto the table, I suddenly processed what Will had just said. "W-Wa-wh-What!" I stammered, cheeks becoming a burning, bright red.

Taking a hold of my hands in the center of the table, both of his eyes glimmered a dark, gorgeous pink. "So. Nico di Angelo. Will you marry me? 

Nico suddenly gasped and took a step back.

"Nico?"

"Will.. Y-Your eyes turned purple"
