First Words (Soulmate AU)

Your soulmate's first words to you are inked on your wrist.

"Uh... Jean?" The blonde boy looked up at his two-toned haired friend. "Are you sure that---?"

"Hush." Jean placed his index finger onto the shorter boy's pale lips, silencing him mid-sentence. Armin angled an eyebrow at him, but before he could react, Jean removed his finger from his lips. "We can't miss your opportunity."

On that autumn Saturday morning, Armin was planning on just sitting in his bedroom, having a hot cup of tea while reading or studying. He was even planning on finishing Ouran Highschool Host Club. But, his roommate had other plans.

Jean dragged the poor boy out of his comfy bedroom. Why? Because he wanted to help Armin find his soulmate. "Also, because I really want coffee right now." Jean said as he shoved his hands into his jean pockets. Armin took a deep breath, taking a whiff of the crisp autumn air. A chill breeze danced past the boys, a few dried up leaves fell from the tree branches above them.

Armin eyed the black cursive writing on his friend's wrist,"I'm so sorry!"  Those were Jean's soulmate's first words to him.

Jean told Armin the story of how he met his soulmate at a coffee shop. His soulmate accidentally bumped into Jean and spilled his coffee all over him. His name was Marco Bodt. Who knew that Jean would fall head over heels with the man who spilled scalding hot coffee all over his shirt. That was when Armin knew it was true love.  

"Here we are." Jean smirked up at the coffee shop. The boys were met with the warm, comforting smell of coffee and baked goods. "You go order, I'll find us a place to sit."

"Wait. Why do I have to order?" Armin asked as he tilted his head slightly.

Jean shrugged with a lazy grin, "What if the barista is your soulmate?" An unsure expression was plastered on Armin's face. "I'm just trying to help you!"

"Yeah, like a barista is totally going to say something like this to me." Armin snapped sarcastically, rolling up his sleeves to reveal the Try Me, Bitch! on his wrist.

Jean's amber eyes scanned his wrist. "You have a point." 

"Can you meet me at the bookstore outside?" Armin asked, slowly making his way over to the exit. Jean gave him a weird look and shifted his gaze over to the lineup of people who were waiting to get their coffee. He looked to be in thought for a minute. 

Without looking back at Armin, he huffed, "Fine, but don't blame me if you miss the opportunity to meet your soulmate." Jean carried onto the lineup before turning around to face Armin, "Uh, black tea, right?"

Armin nodded at him before turning to exit the coffee shop. Just as he turned around, he collided with another person and felt something hot splash onto him. He winced as he felt the hot liquid burn his skin, but his eyes grew wide when he saw a young man standing in front of him with coffee spilled onto his shirt.

"Try me, bitch!" The young man with brunette hair yelped as he collided with the shorter blonde. Armin was too shocked that he didn't even hear what the other man said.

"I-I'm so sorry!" He managed to sputter, "Let me get some napkins!" He hurried over to the napkin dispenser and, in a panic, he pulled out at least ten napkins. Armin ran back over to the brunette and was a bit bewildered when he noticed that he was staring at him with wide eyes.

It clicked in Armin's head. 'Is he the one?' He thought as he stared into the stranger's beautiful turquoise eyes. The stranger began to smile, his smile was absolutely stunning. He revealed his wrist to Armin, in black words it wrote I'm so sorry! Let me get some napkins!

Armin's ocean blue eyes grew, an uncontrollable smile grew onto his face. The brunette gave him a sheepish grin, "Hi, my name's Eren. I guess you're my soulmate?" Armin nodded and shook Eren's hand, feeling even happier than he ever had been before.

"My name is Armin. It's nice to finally meet you." As their hands met, the black writing on their wrists started to shift into a snow white. They finally found each other. From the moment they held hands, they knew that they were going to live a happy, peaceful life together. 

(And then Jean bursts in and ruins the moment.)
