This is uh based on the new anime series that was announced today yeah i'm pretty pumped for it!

Also if this truly is the first fic for that verse I'm sorry I took something so beautiful and made it angst,,

Green Jacket

Gramps always forgot Green's name. Daisy said it was just a quirk of old age and please stop throwing tantrums at our loving grandpa who took us in after that, but it was pretty easy for her to say that when she didn't have to watch Gramps always fumbling for a second over her name but never pausing over her kinda best friend's.

Red was infuriatingly not better than Green. His hair wasn't as cool as Green's and his clothes were stupid. He wore so much red it was like he needed the constant reminder of his name — and he was dumb enough to need it.

Maybe that was it.

Maybe Gramps saw the colour and he was reminded of Red's name.

Green didn't need reminding of his name, but Gramps did, and he needed to remember Green's name cos Green was gonna be Champion soon.

So Green, against his better fashion judgements, bought a green jacket. It was the most tasteful and appropriate one. Daisy said it was cool to his face and adorable behind his back. Red didn't say anything, but he did smirk, the bastard.

They didn't matter, though.

Green wore it to the lab on the day the new aides arrived so Gramps would have to introduce him. He stood by Gramps' side, anticipating the moment when he'd finally remember, because there was no way he'd have a casual slip when Green was wearing his name, that was just…

"Ah, yes, this is my grandson, erm…"

Green didn't know why he'd expected better. It was stupid. The whole thing was stupid. Gramps was stupid.

"Green," he hissed.

"Oh, like your jacket, huh," the aide realised. He chuckled. "Clever."

The aide never forgot Green's name. Maybe others wouldn't either. Everybody would remember Green except his own grandpa.

Maybe after he proved himself by becoming Champion…
