A/N: Anime-verse (American English dub which explains why his name is Jose (pronounced Jo-Say) and not Giuseppe). I haven't read any of the manga. 165 words. Spoiled for Febbre Alta. The prompt from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tkp was When they close their eyes, what do they see?
Summary: They dream of blood and the consequences of unrequieted love.
They all dream of blood in rainbows of red -- maroon, crimson, scarlet. Triela dreams the most outlandish shades -- fuchsia and vermilion (that Claes says is nearly orange so shouldn't be counted).
Henrietta dreams of the sky over Sicily -- blue as cornflower -- and Jose's umber eyes. Jose touches her cheek, affection warring with the knowledge of what she is, carbon fiber frame and synthesized muscle. He smiles and holds her hand anyway.
Henrietta used to be a real girl. Once, they all were.
Rico dreams of the gaping black hole and gunpowder burns where Elsa's eye used to be. She doesn't tell Jean; Henrietta thinks that maybe she should. But then Henrietta would have to tell Jose how she dreams of Elsa, too, and Lauro who couldn't see the way that stone can melt into flesh. How when she closes her eyes, she sees blood gone black, a cornflower sky and Jose, gaping holes and gunpowder burns where his eyes should be.
Now with bonus footage. If you don't know the anime, here's a very cool AMV.
