We sat on the balcony of my—our apartment, I was reading, Achilles was just sipping coffee just enjoying the view.

"Patroclus! Look it's a butterfly!" He pointed.

"Watch this, Achilles." I set my book down next to Achilles and put my finger out, for the butterfly to hand on. The butterfly landed on my finger and stayed their for a little.

   "Woah! I wanna try!" He set his finger out, but when he did the butterfly was startled, and flew away.

Achilles frowned "why did it run away!"

I laughed "First, it didn't run it flew—" he rolled his eyes "Second, you startled the butterfly!"

"Whatever" he pouted.
"Achilles! Don't pout!" He looked away from me, crossing his arms.

   "I'm sorry I'm better with butterflies?"

"Apology accepted!" He smiled,

   I rolled my eyes at his silliness.

"Patroclus!" I heard, from afar.

Achilles looked at me, confused.

     I turned around and saw Briseis, waving at me. "Hello!" I smiled, being friendly with my neighbor.

   "who's that!" Achilles "whispered" but im sure Briseis could hear.

     "Who's your guest?" She asked.

    "Oh this is Achilles!"

   "Oh so I'm a guest?" Achilles scoffed, crossing his arms. We all have flaws, Achilles is that sometimes he has the brain capacity of a 6 year old.

       "I never said you were a guest!"

    "This is our house!" He declared.

    I laughed "Who pays the bills-"

     "hello?" Briseis called out. Her brown curly hair blowing in the wind.

     "Oh sorry! We were having a debate!"

   "No we're getting along just fine!" Achilles pouted, I shrugged.

    "Achilles just go inside your house while I talk to Briseis!" He crossed his arms "Fine. But Im not happy abt it!"

      I just chuckled.

      I was talking to Briseis about books, when Achilles called me, like on my cell phone. Does he not know he just talk to me?

     "Achilles im right here!" I laughed, opening the sliding door.

    "Well I was calling your name but your attention was on Miss. Patroclus Bestie." I laughed,

     "Your jealous of Briseis?" I whispered.

     "NO!" He denied, dramatic walking away, slamming the patio door behind him.

     I sighed, "I'm sorry Briseis, I'll catch up with you later!"

      She waved from the balcony, "Talk later!"

     I ran after Achilles. "ACHILLES!" I saw him laying on the bed frowning, so I sat next to him.

     "Achilles..are you alright?" He layed his head in my lap and just frowned. "Is she like your bestie...not me?" "So this is what this is about!" I laughed

     "She's just my friend Achilles! Your way more than that to me." I looked at his face, unsure whatever I should say this or not.

You only live once, I decided, "—your my soulmate." He laughed, wait- did I just see what I think I did?

    Both his eyes slowly faded to the green of his one eye, indicating that...his soulmate is found.

     "I was thinking that too!" He giggled "

     Well our eyes are back..." I said in astonishment, his eyes are so gorgeous.

    "They are?" He asked, both of us turning to laughter,

     "Why are we like this!" I complained

    "I have no idea!" He smiled.

    "So like what do Soulmates do?" He asked, soulmates, the word repeated in my head, it felt just right, like it was the perfect way I could describe whatever we and Achilles are.

"We can...go on a date!" I suggested, that familiar blush creeping into my cheeks.

     "I want to but...you really do?" He looked up at me as if he couldn't believe it. "

     Of course!" I smiled, "It will be fun and romantic!" I cheered, feeling giddy and exited.

     He jumped up and did a little happy dance, which I found adorable.

     "And plus... I would love to see you in a suit!" I winked.

     He blushed and smirked before he started rummaging through his suitcase.

     "Get ready achilles, this is gonna be the best date you ever went on!"

    "Uh this is my first date, like ever.." 

    "Mine to..." I admitted, feeling a 100 pounds lighter getting that off my chest.

   "Then it will be our first and best date of our lives!" I walked up to him and gave him a swift kiss on the lips, then headed to get ready, for my a date with my soulmate.
