Yellow

by koizumichii

Disclaimer: Kusanagi-sensei owns Zeno.

Warning: Contains a tiniest bit of spoiler.


In the group, he is the most distinguished. His thick messy hair—which bears the same color as the sun—is both dazzling and mesmerizing. It is tied in place by a bandanna having the color that is similar to the bright green leaves fresh from a rejuvenating shower of rain.

His set of clothes cannot be found anywhere, just like his own personality.

"People are mirrors. If you smile, a smile will be reflected."

He smiles a lot, perhaps as many as the number of days in a year in one day, that it makes others crack up a smile too.

"Bonk! *shoves Shin-Ah* So Seiryuu is sensitive to the cold, huh. You need to push up against others when you're cold! If you cry, you lose! PUSH!"

*shoves Ki-Ja*

"It's a challenge to get nice and warm! If you cry, you lose!"

He is silly, just like a child who never knew unhappiness but only laughs and plays.

"Yona and I couldn't fight, and Zeno held a shield in front of us to protect us. He did his best."

He is beyond kind, ready to sacrifice his candle of life for the people who are dear to him.

"I am the dragon that was born to be your shield, Miss. If Ouryuu…If the shield protects you, you will…never get hurt."

He protects, because he is capable and because he is the shield.

"The atmosphere surrounding you is different from other people. It's like a golden warm ray of sunshine."

And lastly, he is the Yellow because just like the heavenly sun, he warms others just by being there.


A/N: During our English class today, the activity was to write a descriptive paragraph about a person, place, or a thing. And well…my brain automatically decided that it would be Zeno. I decided to modify and add some things so here it is—transformed into a drabble.ヾ( ^▽^ )ノ

I posted this on tumblr, with pictures from the manga (featuring the italic lines above). Feel free to see it~ (=^-ω-^=)
