It was a little unnatural to see Marcus' eyes a brilliant shade of gold, mostly because Seth was used to them being this bright shade of red – like how the sky was at sunset. He knew that they'd be visiting the Cullens for a while, so it was only natural for the two Volturi members who'd accompanied him to adopt their diet so as to not arouse suspicion.

Seth wasn't sure if he liked the new color of Marcus' eyes or the ones that he'd grown so fond of – the ones that he'd fallen in love with. The meaning behind them meant that the gold was a little more reassuring... but the red seemed much more suitable for him, and Seth wasn't sure why that was.

On Alec, it was easy, the gold fit him much better. He didn't see much of Alec though; he was usually busy.

But Marcus he saw a lot of, so he spent a lot more time thinking about it. Strangely enough, he sort of missed that bright crimson. He felt safe with those eyes on him – not that it had changed how he felt; that would be shallow of him to think – no matter what color they were, but... something about it just didn't seem right. Even though Marcus was definitely more comfortable with this diet.

He stilled loved the red more, and that should have scared him. But it didn't.

FIN.
