Chapter Text
This world is not like yours. In this world, each person is born with an emotion that they embody. Seraphina, aka Serena, Bliss is joy. Serena has eyes as blue as the sky and long, golden hair the color of the sun. She is always exuding happiness and laughs as though she has no worries. On the other hand, there is Damien Shadowstrong, depression. Damien stands as a skyscraper with hair the color of endless space stark against his pale complexion and piercing silver eyes. They first saw each other on the playground at the age of 5, Damien sat away from all the others, as Excitement bounced around Contentment, and Anger slammed the ball at Annoyance, he saw her. Joy skipping past all the others humming in her own little world. Damien felt jealous, jealous that she got to roam around with her blond hair and blue eyes with no care in the world. As Serena skipped around her eyes fell upon a boy who sat and watched with his curtain of black hair that failed to hide his silver eyes. She grew curious of this embodiment of depression, how could one not just look at the world with a smile? As the two grew older, they continued to observe each other from afar, never interacting, just watching. After many years of watching and observing each other, they finally met. Damien and Serena were assigned to write a paper on how each emotion affects their society. They met each day to work on their assignment. In the beginning, they barely talked to each other but as time went on they began to get to know each other more and more. After the paper was finished, neither wanted to go back to the way it was before. They began to spend more time together becoming each other's favorite person. As the school year came to an end and summer began, Serena had to leave. Since getting to know each other they had spent almost every waking moment together, many had joked that they were more than just friends but they knew what they were. Damien felt lost during that time unsure of what to do. He fell silent and grew more and more isolated worrying all those around him. No one knew what had caused this change. However, when Serena returned all became clear. Damien began to talk more and be more present, and the only thing that changed was Serena. Depression was changed by Joy. Even in a world where each person gets one emotion, they changed each other. He was still Depression. She was still Joy. Polar opposites but maybe better together.
