Soulmate (Completed) 18+

**Boun's POV**

I can see how nervous he is about meeting his friends and I wish there was something I could do to help him. 

He was a mess as he was getting ready and there was non of his clothes at my place so I had to go through everything in my closet and try to find something for him that fit. 

Thankfully I kept some of my old clothes from a few years ago since hes only a tiny bit smaller than I am and that seemed to calm him down a tiny bit.

He was still a nervous wreck when he got in my car and I was driving to the address he had given me. I could see him twisting his ring on his finger while looking out the window the entire ride there. 

Now we were sitting in a booth 10 minutes early waiting for his friends to show up and he was staring at the menu like it held a deep secret that he wanted to know.

Boun: I had one arm around his waist as he casually leans on my side so it didn't look obvious but I was still close to him. "Are you okay?"

Prem: He looks up from the menu with big eyes before nodding slowly. "I'm okay, just trying to figure out what I should say to them since I ignored their calls for such a long time and I refused to see them when they left."

Boun: "If they're really your friends than they will understand why you did that and won't give you a hard time."

Prem: "Your right, I met Earth at the library when he was researching for his cooking and than I met Santa through Gulf who use to do his hair since he's a model. They were always close to me and helping me when I needed it. I'm sure your right I just feel bad..."

Boun: Letting out a small sigh I look around us to see that no one was looking this way before pressing my lips to his temple. When his eyes went wide I just gave him a small smile before rubbing my nose against his cheek to calm him down. "They seem kind Prem, don't worry it's okay..."

Prem: I watched as a smile creeped onto his face as he looks back down at the menu. "I'm glad I brought you with me... It almost feels strange not having you by my side anymore..."

I knew that he was saying these things because he was still a nervous wreck who needs emotional support but I couldn't help but feel happy that he doesn't feel uncomfortable in my presence anymore. 

He doesn't run from me and he doesn't flinch from my touches anymore either. I don't know about anyone else but that feels like the best accomplishment I could ever make. 

Baby steps are key...

Boun: "So what are you thinking about eating?"

Prem: He continues to look at the menu for a minute before pointing at something. "This one sounds good." Than he point at something else on the side of the menu. "But this one looks good."

Boun: I quickly looked at the ingredients before nodding. "I like the sound of both of those, would you want to order both and than split them?"

Prem: I really wanted to laugh when I see his eyes grow wide. "Really?"

Boun: "Sure why not?"

Prem: "Thank you!!"

We were both laughing when I feel someone staring at us, I look over to my right to see a small petite looking guy and a slightly taller one behind him who were holding hands just standing at the edge of the table staring at us. 

Stranger: "Are we interrupting?"

Prem: I looked at Prem who was smiling sheepishly at them. "Hi guys." He points at me. "This is Boun..." Than he point at the petite guy in the front and than the other one behind him. "Boun that is Earth and Santa."
