AN: Yes, it's Palette x Cray. I wrote this a while ago and was unsure if I should post it but I might as well. Enjoy. :)

Palette had a very limited experience with negative emotions and being the son of the guardian of positivity caused such emotions to be very damaging.

What experience Pallet had was minor instances of hurt and anger, he had never been exposed to rage or heartbreak.

At least,not until he finally built up the courage to confess his love for his best friend Goth, only to be rejected.

Goth had tried to be kind and let him down easy, but it kept weighing on Palette in the back of his mind. They tried to stay friends in the beginning but as time went on, they grew away from each other and lost contact.

This caused Palette to fall into a severe depression, and the negative emotions took it's toll. His body grew weaker and in the end he was bedridden because of his frail bones.

His parents and half-siblings' Paperjam and Gradient visited him often and tried to help him regain his positiv outlook on life. Their efforts proved unfruitful, in the end Palette remained depressed.

However, this changed when his brother Paperjam came to visit with his newborn son Cray. Because the moment PJ placed Cray in his brothers arms, Palette smiled for the first time in five years.

~~18 years later~~

"Hey dad?"

"What is it Cray?" Paperjam looked at his son, taking a pause from his intense discussion with his own dad, Ink.

"How do you know if you love someone romantically?"

The question made Paperjam to freeze for a few seconds before he relaxed again. This was not a question PJ had expected.

"Well, I quess the easiest way to explain it would be that you feel like being really close to that person and you can't live without them."

Paperjam really had no idea if what he said made sense or was helpfull but Cray nodded his head as if he just realized something important. Ink, on the other hand, looked amused.

"Do you love someone romantically Cray?" Ink asked curious.

Cray nodded. "I love uncle Palette."

PJ fainted on the spot and Ink started laughing.

"Like father like son huh?"
