My Soulmate...?

Chapter Three

Dinner wasn't as bad as Zakaria thought it would be. There was talk about everyone's day, and some getting to know each other. They sat in front of the tv for a bit after dinner and then Zakaria took his leave. Once home, Zakaria immediately lays down in bed and falls asleep. The next morning, after his shower, Zakaria gets ahold of Josh and asks if Zion likes ice cream - he does - and if he could take Zion out for ice cream. And that's how Zakaria ended up awkwardly sitting at a table in an ice cream shop. "So, do you know about the whole soulmate thing?" Zakaria asks and Zion turns violet eyes to him and says nothing for a moment. "Isn't it someone you're supposed to spend your life with?" Zion asks. With a soft smile, Zakaria nods. "It's the person you're meant to be with. The person you share your everything with. The person you constantly want to be near, just so you can share the same space as them. And sometimes, people get more than one soulmate because they just have so much love to give. It's magical, and terrifying, and the best thing anyone can experience, even at a young age." Zakaria says with a wistful look on his face, as if he were reliving the past. Zion looks confused for a moment before going back to his ice cream. "You'll understand one day, Zion." Zakaria says, Zion's name melting on his tongue as if it were butter. Zion looks at him hesitantly before asking, "Did you have a soulmate before?" Zakaria looks at the younger male before smiling and nodding. "I did, yeah. Her name was Aveline(a-veh-lean). Maybe I'll tell you about her sometime." he says softly. Zion nods and smiles.  "You almost done with your ice cream?" Zakaria asks, gaining a nod from the boy.
