Chapter Text
You heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat off your forehead with the back of your arm. Your arms ached so much from bearing the weight of lifting them up.
You set down the paint brush that was in your hand on top of the oak counter beside you, and shuffled a few steps backward to get a full view of another finalized art piece of yours.
In front of you stood an acrylic painting of a girl and her mother sitting on a set of swings, surrounded by roses.
Painting for nearly 8 hours was a worthy accomplishment despite the repeated hassle of running out of a certain shade of the color you mixed, as well as the numerous attempts to recreate the exact shade before the acrylic paint dried out on the palette.

Of course, the whole thing was monochrome.
The same color of purple, consisting of various hues.
Your only weakness as an artist was not being able to implement more than one color in the same piece of artwork.

You just can't remember to forget him.
"I miss you, Armin." You mumbled under your breath.
