You sat by the candle and waited for it. The soulmate timer, counting down the seconds until you met the person that fate had ordained you to. It would appear at midnight, on your 20th birthday.

11:57

I hope he's attractive, you thought.

11:58

I hope he's kind.

11:59

... do I actually want a soulmate?

12:00

Fuck, too late now.

The metal rose through your skin out of seemingly nowhere, causing you to cry out at the pain it inspired. It displayed the numbers:

10 days, 9 hours, 8 minutes.

Well, shit. That was soon.

- - -

You checked the inside of your wrist.

00 days 00 hours 5 minutes.

You tapped your feet nervously, and ended up going inside a Starbucks for a drink.

"[favourite drink], please," you told the woman at the counter, who smiled and served up your drink remarkably quickly.

You turned to walk out with an antsy anxiety, but didn't expect someone to be ten centimetres behind you. You bumped into them and your drink spilled all over your white shirt, much to your embarrassment and their panic.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry ma'am," the man said. Just then your numbers clocked in at 0, with a tiny beep.

"It's fine." you said distractedly, still staring down at your wrist. "You're my soulmate."

"I- What?" he checked his wrist and his face went pale. "So I am. I'm so sorry I did this to you on our first meeting."

You flushed as you looked up, taking in vaguely familiar features of blond hair and blue eyes. "I-It's fine, don't worry about it."

"I'm Steve," your soulmate said, and it finally registered who he was.

"Holy shit, you're Captain America," you gaped at him. "I'm ... I'm Y/N, pleased to meet you."

"Y/N," he shook your hand. "Please allow me to take you out to repay that mistake."

You giggled, holding onto him and intertwining your fingers. "I'd be glad."
