EASE ( soulmate au )

1

"What's a soulmate?" Yuuri asked his mother.

"Well it's someone that you're destined to be with, someday you'll meet them and you two will be forever in love, and happy together." She explained.

"Than why do we always feel, well- why do you always feel something touching you when nothing really is?" He tried asking, he's always felt ghostly touches on his arms and legs.

"That's your soulmate."

"Huh?"

"Say, when your soulmate trips and hurts their leg, you'll feel that pain. Whenever they are rubbing their arms, you may feel the rubbing sensation too."

"Woah, that's weird."

She laughed her 7 year old son, and patted his head.

"Mama! I felt it!" Viktor exclaimed, as he slid over on his skates.

"Huh? Felt what?" She asked her child.

"I felt my soulmate get touched again! On the head, it was so soft and nice! Ruffle my hair, so my soulmate knows!" He exclaimed leaning over the barrier.

"Viktor I'm sure they know you feel everything they feel, its vice versa." She tried saying, but he just urged her furthermore.

She sighed and did, his silver locks soothing through her fingers.

"Thanks. And still! I don't want them to think I'm dead or something." He laughed, as he slowly made his way into the center of the ice. Feeling his hair sway, which each movement.

"Viktor...are you not being taught in school about soulmates?" His mother asked, seeing her son skate with grace.

"No? The teachers say that it's our parents job to explain that to us."

His mother tisked, and shook her head and called her son over. "You know the basics of your soulmate, right? Whenever you're touched they feel the sensation, whenever they're in pain so are you, if either of you get sick so will the other, depending on how sick though."

Through out it all Viktor was nodding his head, as he wanted and needed to learn everything there is about a soulmate so he could find his.

"So..you know that whenever your soulmate passes away...you do too..." She said lowly, wondering if her son knew that. The answer was obvious that he hadn't known that.

He thought it was tragic.

He witnessed a year later that it was true.

A girl in his class had died, because her soulmate, a boy in another class got into an accident.

That's when everyone realized the truth, that his mother had told him.

"My feet hurt, and so do my arms." Yuuri had told the nurse, as she examined the boys body.

He was in class playing with Yuuko, when he felt pain on his body. Than his friend pointed out that there were bruises, and he got scared.

The teacher was alerted and he went to the nurse, she couldn't do much. Yuuri wasn't the one who was hurting himself, it was his soulmate.

As the nurse tried to explain that it was then, yuuri begins to cry.

"W-why would they do this?" His tears start falling. "It hurts so much-" he sniffles, and lets his crying over come him.

"Shhh, it's okay....they may not mean to hurt you. The bruises seem to be on your legs and arms, so they may be in a sport!"

He looked up at the nurse as she got a tissue, and started drying his tears.
