            When Lance was little, Father told him about the power in eyes. Eyes were windows to the soul, Father had said, and that to find one’s soul mate, you had to find someone whose windows matched yours. He had spent the first few weeks staring every pokémon he came across in the eyes, until Father had laughed before correcting him that the one would be special, like him, Pokémon and yet not.

            So after Lance grew up, and didn’t need to live with Father anymore, he went searching. He saw people with eyes of every color, from the rainbow to shades of gray. It made a lot of people uncomfortable, when he stared them straight in the eyes, but finally, finally he found the one whose windows would reflect only him.

            And Red, when she looked into Lance’s eyes, saw only herself, and felt honored, so she agreed, until Lance became the only person she ever loved.

            The ring and certificate only made it more official.

            And when they kissed, it was hard to tell where one ended and the other began, they were that close.

            Now, their eyes both shine with love for each other, and they are happy.
