(So I read this online somewhere, imagine a world where you stop ageing at 18, and don't start again until you live with your soulmate)

Mark and Jack had been best friends since they were kids. The two were almost always together, and if something happened to one, the other always knew before anyone else. Somewhere along the line, their friendship had grown, and there was suddenly something between them, something that could only be described as a longing. An unspoken want to hold the other, to be with him. Sometimes it was so thick between them, people wondered how the two didn't realise. This never changed, but Jack met someone. Mark didn't, and though he was happy for his friend, watching them together hurt him. He wanted to be that girl, he wanted to be the person Jack loved. Time passed, and Jack's 18th finally rolled around. A drunk night out, and an ugly break up later, he was 18 and single again. The two boys decided to get an apartment together, since they were friends, and having someone to split rent with seemed like a good plan. Life went on for the two, until they realised something. Two years had passed, and Jack had definitely aged. Mark would have been ecstatic, and he was...

Until he realised he hadn't aged a day.

Mark was Jack's soulmate, but Jack wasn't Mark's. It was an extremely rare occurrence, but it had happened before. Mark said he'd stay with Jack anyway, promising there was no one who could possibly be better for him than Jack was. Another 2 years pass, and pax rolls around again. The two go, and Mark meets another boy. The three hit it off, and when they find out he was looking for a place to live, since he was moving over to LA, they invited him to live with them. It was fun at first, Danny was a fun flatmate, but then Jack realised something. Since Danny had arrived, he'd been ageing, and so was Mark. Danny was the perfect match for Mark he realised, and when the other two noticed they were ageing together, they moved out. It's been years since they did, and although Jack is happy for them, it hurts. He doesn't hate Danny, he knows he should, but he doesn't. Danny didn't ask to be the one who took Mark away, and he's always been a friend. It was his idea that Jack should be their adopted daughters godfather. Sometimes, when jack sees them as a family, he wonders why he's still here. Mark doesn't need him anymore, there's nothing stopping him from leaving now.

He wonders sometimes, how can this idea of nothing, look so appealing
