Chapter 17.

vik
holding onto you.

"You fucking bitch!" Vik heared a shout downstairs that seemed to sound like someone new, not Simon, Josh, or JJ. A confused noise left him as he stood, tiredly shuffling down the stairs. He didn't get much sleep last night, not having your soulmate near takes a physical toll on your body and mind, it's strange. It seems after you meet your soulmate, you need them near or something crazy like that.

I don't get this whole soul mate thing.

Walking down the creaky steps, he was met with two new faces. A blue eyed, light haired male, and a dark skinned, tall one.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

"They kicked my ass at fifa! Can I kill them?" Simon glared at the two, huffing slightly.

"No, who are they? I want to know who they are before you murder them."

The shorter jumped up first, sticking his hand out and shaking it. "I'm Harry! You must be Vik?"

Vik nods, smiling at the slightly taller male, shaking his hand. "Vik's the name. Pleasure to meet you."

The other grinned, waving a bit. "I'm Tobi. Nice to meet you."

"He's my Tabicat."

"Tabicat? Are you two soulmates?"

The two blinked, glancing between eachother and Harry shook his head, they seemed to have a silent conversation.

"Uh, we don't have soulmates.."

Vik raised an eyebrow, he must of had a look of confusion because the two rose their hands to show no numbers, or hearts.

"That's so cool!" Vik grabbed their hands in each of his, examining them. He's never heard of being born without a soulmate.

"So you've never had number? Or a heart? Or even an idea of it?"

The two shook their heads in response, smiling at eachother before turning to Vik as he shot out questions like mad.

"What's it like?- Not having a soulmate?"

Harry cleared his throat, rocking on his heel. "It's lonely at times. But other wise okay."

"Do you think your soulmates died before you met them?"

"Most likely. That's what we tell most people."

Tobi answered the next one.

"Are you two together?"

"No, kinda- Not really- I meean, we are romantic with eachother, but we've never done anything besides cuddle with an occasional kiss tossed in, kinda of like a qpp."

"Q..QPP?"

"Queer Platonic Partner. Have you not been on tumblr lately?" Harry grinned at Vik, shaking his head slightly.

"Nope."

An awkward silence fell between them, and Vik shook his head at them but smiled. He glanced behind them, not seeing Simon or Josh. He sighed, shrugging and mumbling about how he had to go talk to Lachlan and work on his studies.

"Vik, wait." JJ called as he turned away, setting a hand on his shoulder. "Why don't you come play Fifa with us? You're so caught up in your work and Lachlan, I think you need to relax a bit."

"Jide, you know I don't play fifa."

"Then we can play some COD or something, you need to relax." 

Vik sighed and nodded, running his hand through his hair shakily. JJ was right, Vik was stressed. Quite stressed. "I feel sick JJ. I don't know what's up, but lately I.. I just don't want to get out of bed." 

"Do... Do you think it's depression?" JJ's face darkened as he said this, a slight frown on his features.

"No, I know what depression is like. This isn't it."

"Is it a soulmate thing?"

"Hopefully. That would be the easiest of my problems."

JJ smiled lightly at the smaller male, patting him on the back comfortingly, "Come on, let's go play some video games."

Vik nodded, glancing back towards his room one last time before sitting on the black leather couch and grabbing a controller.

The door slammed open about a half an hour later, chatting from people that seemed like Josh and Simon's voices. Vik looked towards the living room arch, and sure enough a familiar dirty blonde and scruffy dark haired one walked in. 

"Oh hey Vik." Si grinned at him waving at the other. 

Perplexed, Vik waved back and blinked. "Uh, hey Simon.. What's up?"

"Oh nothing." He grinned, "Just-"

"Lachlan!" Josh cut him off, and Simon glared in his direction. A tall blonde that Vik had the honor of calling his soulmate appeared behind them, beaming.

"L.... Lachlan?"

"Hey doll." He grinned, opening his arms and dropping his carry on.

Vik nearly burst into tears, jumping up from the couch and wrapping his arms and legs around the Australian. Lachlan left a series of light kisses on his lover's face, laughing happily. 

"The boys saw how down you were, and I'm on winter break, so I figured I would spend it here with you."

"Oh, my..!" Vik's head whipped around to thank the others, but they all replied with a chorus of "You're welcome."

"I missed you, Lachlan."

"I missed you too, Vikky."
