Water Lillies

Summary:

Water Lilies is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926).

Claude Monet, a lover of nature at heart, soon makes friends with Gandhi, who is nothing like him. They clash, yes, but soon a friendship blossoms, and maybe a bit more than that...

Chapter 1: Who is Claude Monet?

Chapter Text

Oscar-Claude "Clau" Monet, 17 y.o.

Birthday: November 14

Height: 5'11

Zodiac: Scorpio 

Monet is the president of the Botany Club (yes i made it up i think its nice also van gogh is in it) and his favourite type of plant is any aquatic plant. He often does watercolors, since getting water is easy and its easier to carry around compared to oil paints. 

He tends to paint the nature around the school, if he can find any, but he mostly paints the school garden and his own.

His foster moms (if jfk can have gay foster dads, monet can have lesbian moms) are kind women, one of them is even a painter herself. They often paint with their son.

He doesn't paint portraits often, but he is relatively popular since he is kind and people just... like him. Unlike his best friend, Vincent Van Gogh, who is often bullied and pulled to the shadows. Clau defends him all the time, and they hang out always.

His right eye has only 40% vision and he has Protan Color Blindness, in which all warmer tones look highly similar, hence why he often paint in blue hues. His glasses help him see colors, but he still enjoys painting with blue. It's his favorite color, after all. His asthma is also pretty bad; he can't run or do some basic exercise without needing his inhaler. (monet did go blind when he was older, and even after surgery he could only see blues and purples. also he died of lung cancer, hence the asthma thing)

He's AWFULLY hairy, and he's pretty self-conscious about it, so he often wears long sleeves. He wears a cerulean turtleneck sweater and a navy trench coat that he never buttons up because he likes the way the wind flows, making the coat flip-flap. His eyes are brown, but his right is blurry, and he has very soft, long, curly brown hair and quite a short beard. He also wears grey cargo pants and blue Vans (bi icon babeyyy).

An absolute fan of Hozier, his fave song is "In the Woods Somewhere". He's soft-spoken and barely raises his voice, and is so kind and calm.  

He believes that opposites attract. I'll leave it at that.

(hope yall enjoy this fic that might take weeks to finish but ill try my best ;v;)
