Blue and red.  She’d never fallen in love before.  

Shouldn’t they be opposites?  Opposites attract.

Blue.  She had been so cold and distant, and it hadn’t even fazed him.  It had hurt – her heart, inside – when he touched her.  But somehow this was different than the other hurts.

Red.  The twinkle in his eyes was so warm and inviting.  He wasn’t going to hurt her.  They were all like that at first.  But somehow he was different than the other boys.

Opposites attract.  Would this be different than the other times?

She’d never fallen in love before.

Red and blue.

Oh, how I love this drabble.

Introducing Amber, another Starlit.  Her "color" I guess you could say, is blue.  And somehow, Amber has fallen in love with my partner.  He's a ginger.  So you can see where the red and blue theme came from.

And I really love how the drabble has such structure.  The first four lines and the last four lines nearly mirror each other, and the red/blue sections are nearly parallel.  So much fun to write.
