On every kids 10th birthday , a band will wrap itself on their right index finger . If the pair has already met , the color will change depending on the persons favorite color or eye color . If they haven't met , the band will stay gray.

On some cases the child could get double bands , the second one signifying their platonic soulmate . There are a handful of cases , and Tweek seems to be one of them .

There are two groups , the Visionaries and Colorless  . Visionaries get glimpses of the future and some features of their soulmate , but not enough to be able to pin point who, great. The colorless , as it sounds are people who cannot see color , except for the one matching their band, making them live in gray and the one vibrant color on their finger taunting them. The world, was in simpler terms, an asshole

Ever since Tweek was small, the word 'love' was pushed into his face, whether it be by his parents, his classmates, or just by the world in general . Talking about it made him anxious, which then turned into a fear that followed him everywhere.

Due to how introverted the blonde was and how nervous , he never really cared for such a thing, not that he could, as keeping a conversation when he was younger was difficult and keeping friendships were harder. His parents neglecting him at such a young age didn't help either .

But the universe hated him . You see, in this world there are things called soulmates . Cliché , right? Sounds like something you'd find in some sappy teen romance novel .

Tweek didn't necessarily like the idea of soulmates but he didn't despise them. He's actually met his ! Err his platonic one that is. Butters Leopold Stotch was his best friend and also his platonic soulmate . The two have been together since Tweek moved into South Park and was often accompanied by another blonde boy, Kenneth McCormick .

The trio were inseparable until halfway through middle school when Kenny hung out with his other friends ( Stan's gang ) more as the years progressed . They didn't really mind as Kenny didn't treat them differently than before, but the two still missed the parka wearing boy and the time they spent together . Dwelling in the past was never good , so they let him be .

They're now in their junior year of high school . It hasn't been as bad as what people usually say , but as always life isn't always sunshine and rainbows .

Butters and Tweek , well liked by most , yet bullied often . It never got physical thankfully , They knew when to keep their mouths shut . It would usually consist of papers being thrown at them , or comments being said , stuff like that .

Tweek was bullied the most , due to his constant twitching and anxiousness , he seemed like the perfect target . He tried ignoring what they said , yet the words still hurt him deep down .

Besides the bullying , Tweek was a pretty decent student scoring usually A's and B's . After school Tweek would head to his parents coffee shop and begin his shift . He'd usually be in the back cleaning or up at the counter serving customers the best he could .

The coffee shop wasn't very busy whenever it was his time to work and he was grateful for that , though the talk of soulmates filled the air annoyed him a bit . Tweek loved a lot of things , and was usually pretty hard to piss off , but love.. love was just. awful to him .

The vulnerability, the touchyness , the possibility of losing them , rejection . That's just scratching the surface . Tweek already had enough problems and love was sure as hell not going to one of them.... right ?

Well soulmates aren't unavoidable which was just his luck . Hes heard that once you meet them , they're suddenly always nearby . They just don't leave you alone and the thought of that made Tweek uncomfortable . Some random stranger you're forced to love, following you around everywhere ?! No thank you .

A new day has started for the Tweak residence and the frantic boy hurriedly made his way down the stairs and grabbed his thermal. He heads out the door, waving goodbye at his parents in the process . He meets Butters by the bus stop , who was playing around with the straps of his backpack .

" Hey Butters ! " Tweek greeted with a slight smile . Butters looked up at the blonde and returned the gesture . The two stood there , waiting for the bus to appear . It was usually late, but they didn't mind as they could continue to hang out and talk about whatever was on their mind . Out of the corner of Butter's eye he saw a tall , raven haired boy walking towards the bus stop .

The boy had a blue chullo hat with a yellow puffball at the top . Yellow strings hanging from the tips and dark blue drawings wrapped around the hat . He had a blank expression on his face, icy gray eyes, piercings on his lower lip, and an eyebrow slit. He looked like someone that shouldn't be messed with.

Tweek hadn't noticed yet , as his back was turned, until Butters kept glancing behind him . He turned his head slightly to see the ravenette standing a couple feet besides them . Butters grabbed a hold of Tweeks sleeve and slightly pulled him away from the blue boy.

That seemed to catch the blue boy's attention, as he glanced up from the ground . His eyes locking with Tweeks . Tweek was nervous as hell , fidgeting with his buttons as he continued to stare back at him .

Thankfully the bus  arrived and the two boys ran into the vehicle , the blue boy not so far behind them . The boys went to the back of the bus , sitting down with a relieved sigh. They were in the clear for now .

" WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ?! " Tweek whisper yelled at butters . " Oh jeez , that guys out for me now , what am I gonna do ?! "

Overthinking was a.. talent of Tweeks , I guess . A simple bird could fly over and he'd think it's the end of the world. Butters didn't seem to mind , because it just made Tweek .. Tweek !

" Calm down fella ! Everythin is going to be okay ! He just seemed tired that's all ! " Butters reassured , patting Tweeks head .

Tweek rested his head on Butters shoulder , which helped him calm down a bit . Butters was like a walking teddy bear , which comforted the boy . " Yeah I guess you're right . " he sighed " I don't think i've seen him before though , what if - "

Butters clamped his hand against Tweeks mouth " Tweek . He's not gonna hurt you , he's just a lil scary lookin ! But if he tries anythin Professor Chaos will sure teach him a lesson ! " Butters reassured , placing his hands against his hips and puffed out his chest to look " threatening "

Tweek smiled at the gesture and calmed down, knowing full well Butters wouldn't hurt a fly ( unless ACTUALLY provoked ) . He stared out the window as Butters began to talk to Kenny, who was sitting right across from them.

"I just hope he doesn't cause me any trouble... "
