Couple: Robert Shwartzman and Mick Schumacher
Prompt: Soulmate AU
For @_beyond_the_stars❤
"This one is for the girls. Ты очень красивая." (Translation: You are very beautiful)
I sighed. It was nearly midnight and I couldn't sleep. So naturally I decided the best thing I could do was watch videos of Robert on YouTube. I just hadn't realised how much this video was going to hurt me. I was just under a minute in and already he had mentioned how beautiful he thought girls were. How was I ever going to tell him?
I pulled up my shirt and rolled my sweatpants down just enough, so my hipbone was revealed. I admired the mark that lay there, the FDA logo with the both the German and Russian flags in the background. I knew Robert had the matching one, he'd shown me himself when we were talking about soulmates. But I also knew that Robert didn't know I was his soulmate.
I had always been careful to keep my mark hidden - being Mick Schumacher, there were always hordes of people dying to be my soulmate. That sounds kinda cocky but it's the truth, I had seen some of the things people comment on my Instagram, it's one of the reasons why I don't manage it myself. Straight after Robert had first shown me his mark, he said "What am I supposed to do? Just walk around asking every German girl I know through the FDA if I can see their mark?". That hurt, I won't lie. Although I was glad I'd convinced him not to stick with that plan. Walking around asking to see girl's hips might not have gone so well for him.
Soulmate marks were always in the same place for both soulmates. Like Robert and I both had our mark on our left hips, another couple I know have their marks on their collarbones. And the marks are always a combination of both people which is why the German and Russian flags as well as the FDA logo, considering that was how we first met. Looking back on it, it seemed really obvious that my soulmate was Robert, I don't know why it took me so long to notice. Or why he hasn't still noticed for that matter.
A knock on the door drew me from my thoughts. I stood and fixed my clothes before swinging it open.
"Robert?" It's like I'd called him with my thoughts.
"Hey," He rubbed the back of his neck as I stood to the side and let him into my room. "I'm glad you're still awake."
"Make yourself at home. Couldn't sleep?"
"Nope. I've been trying for nearly 3 hours but then I remembered you were next door and I figured I'd see if you were up." He threw himself onto my bed.
"What's keeping you up then? Are you worried about something?" This was nearly always the case when Robert couldn't sleep. He always got far too deep in his head.
"What if I never find my soulmate, Mick?" Rob sighed.
"You will, I promise." I sat next to him and placed my hand on his hand.
"How do you know that?" He laughed. "I'm about to go back to my original plan of asking every German girl I meet to see her mark."
"Let's maybe not do that. But, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
"What if your soulmate isn't a girl?"
"What? You think my soulmate might be a guy?"
"Or non-binary but yeah, maybe." Robert's eyes widened and his breathing quickened as he sat up and looked at me. Oh no. Maybe I'd overstepped boundaries. Maybe he was really homophobic although I'd never really got that vibe from Rob. Maybe his parents were homophobic. That wouldn't be good. Either way I'd clearly messed up.
