all the colors on street signs

this went on for months. mikey would swear he would see color, and give pete a weird look. and pete would return the look. it was not until mikey kissed him for the first time, that mikey saw flashes of color. mikey jumped back and pete giggled. “did you see that too?” pete asked. mikey nodded, his eyes widening behind his black and white glasses. he pushed them back up his nose. pete pulled them off entirely, and pulled mikey to his chest. “i wanna see it again.” he smiled.
