The wrong Soulmate

The family that never was

Warning: Sad shit and obviously more trauma but cute ending.

"You looked irresistible that day love. From the moment you walked into that building in that blue suit to the moment you ran out, you outshined the bride Percy. You never left my eyesight and I knew that I needed to follow you, I needed to know for sure if this was the right step. I asked you, I basically begged you to say that we were soulmates. I gave you all the chances Percy. You crushed me. I went back in there completely heartbroken and I married Rose. I wish you would have told me to end it with her. I wished you would have told me. I should have trusted myself, I had always guessed something was wrong but you never made any sign that you felt that same way. I am so sorry for what Rose did to you" I told the man sitting next to me who had yet to look at me since he finished telling me everything that he felt on my wedding day. I was angry, angry at myself. I should have seen it. I should have seen the way he looked at me. I should have seen the way all his emotions left when he told me to marry Rose. I should have noticed it all. I should have trusted myself. I knew back then that Percy was my soulmate but he never gave me the signs. I should have figured it out. I was so stupid. I am so stupid. I fell for all of Rose's lies, how did that even happen? How was I so blind this entire time? Why did I trust her so desperately when all the signs told me not to? I was a dumb teenager. I was a dumb man.

"Remy, please stop beating yourself up" I heard Percy's soft voice say before I felt soft hands on mine. I looked at him and like every single time I had ever looked at Percy, my heart picked up its pace. Percy is simply breathtaking.

"How did you know I was beating myself up?" I asked him. Could he read my mind? Was this a soulmate thing? Did I portray my emotions on my face again? I have never been good at hiding my emotions. Percy smiled at me.

"I know you, Remy. We may have only interacted as in-laws but I know you, Remy. I know that you like sweet coffee over anything grained, I know that you love the color blue because the sky was one of the first things you really looked at after we met. I know that you say that you do not mind which side of the bed you sleep on but obviously, you prefer the right side, Rose always takes the right side. I know that you like eggs but not chickens which I find is the strangest fact I have ever found out and I know when you are beating yourself up. I know that you are blaming yourself for failing for my sister's tricks. It's not your fault. Rose is simply manipulative" He explained how he knew what I was thinking and I stared at him with wide eyes. He knew all that about me? Rose did not even know all that. I grinned widely. I am so happy that Percy is my real soulmate. It feels like a giant weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It feels like I can finally be myself. I looked at the handsome green-eyed man next to me before picking up his hand in mine. I kissed his hand gently while Percy watched me with careful eyes. I smiled gently at him and he returned my smile. This simply felt right. This felt more right than marrying my ex-wife. This felt more right than kissing Rose. This felt more right than anything else has in my entire life. This was what having a soulmate should feel like. I could not believe I confused the two feelings. Nothing felt right with Rose, I knew that now. Percy had my whole heart from the moment our eyes locked at that mall, I simply did not know it until now.

"Where does this leave us now?" I suddenly heard the question which brought my attention back to the adorable man next to me. Percy held this look of worry, of fear. It was a different type of fear, I could see the difference. This was not the fear of being near Rose, this was the fear that I would leave him. I quickly reassured him, I would never leave him again.

"I want to grow old with you Percy. Now that I have you, I am never letting go" I told him confidently and his smile widened and his eyes sparkled. Finally, I got to see the sparkle that I had craved for my entire life. I swear I have never been this happy in my entire life.
