This is an A.U. where everyone has the age of that their soulmate will be when they meet. The tattoo is something they're born with, and the ages vary with everyone. Meeting them is determined by gut feeling, and there is no other information about the person. I take no credit for the original idea, just the story I write.
I stared at the simple number in the mirror. A beautiful 27 inscribed in a sprawling script across my right shoulderblade. I took a deep breath. This tattoo, that I had had since birth, told the age that my soulmate would be when we met. I ran my hand through my hair, which I had gotten cut yesterday. Sighing, I grabbed my favorite t-shirt, which was white with the words 'proud owner of a pitbull' on the front, and a pair of jeans. Once I was dressed, I stood up. Following an impulse, I called into work.
Today was the day. I could tell that today, I, a 28 year old male named Troye, would meet my soulmate. I smiled to myself and walked out of my house. Leaving my car in the garage, I walked about 3 blocks to the coffee shop down the road from my house. Ordering my usual frappe, I sat at a table in the corner and pulled out my phone. Reading a fanfic, I waited. I heard the bell chime that signaled someone entering the shop, and I looked up. In walked a man with a 28 tattooed on the back of his left hand. I gasped quietly and made eye contact with him.
He looked away with a small smile on his face. He ordered a coffee with plain creamer. Picking it up and paying, he walked over to my table. He gave me a look that said, 'is this seat taken?'. I shook my head and he smiled. Sitting down he showed me the number tattooed on his hand. I smiled.
"I'm 28. How old are you?" He muttered a small, almost undetectable, 27. I grinned. I couldn't show him right now, but I told him about the 27 tattooed across my shoulderblade. So this was him. My soulmate, that I had heard about since I could remember. I grabbed his hand, and we both stood up. A couple gave us knowing looks as we walked out of the coffee shop hand in hand. I knew today was going to be the day.
