The five year old pursed his lips, "Dad?" He started, his eyes glistening as he spoke.

   His father looked over, "Yeah?"

  "What's a soulmate?"

   The question hit Pierce like a wooden stake to the heart, his eyes widening.

   What's a soulmate?

   What's a soulmate?

   What even is a soulmate?

   He gulped, thinking of a way to answer Julian, "Well. . ." Pierce paused, "A soulmate is someone who loves you unconditionally."

   The blonde smiled, "I love you so much. . ."

   "Believes in you no matter what." Pierce continued.

   "Don't be so glum!" Axel exclaimed, pacing near their bed slowly. He stopped, placing his hands on the bed, "It's not the end of the world." He smiled.

   That damn smile. . .

   "You'll get your chance again. Sometime. I know it."

   "Accepts you for every single flaw you have."

   Pierce groaned, "It's horrible!" He exclaimed, looking at himself in the mirror. He was staring at small dots on his nose, "There's so many of them!"

   "They're freckles. They're not bad!" Axel told him, "They're cute!"

   "Makes you bett-- No, makes you want to be better. For them."

   "I'll have to resign." Pierce told a man named Reid Miller, "I can't do this anymore. I can't keep doing this and sleep at night."

   "Someone that only wants you to be safe. Even if you do something unimaginably stupid."

   "Pierce. . ." Axel's voice wavered, his chest rising and descending shakily, "How could you. . ." His voice died off as he closed his lips, a gulp running down his throat.

   The blonde stepped back, Pierce turning around swiftly, "Axel, I--"

   "No, no, just come home safe later. . ." The tall man muttered, walking off.

   "Someone who knows you better than anyone else in the whole world."

   Axel's fingers ran through Pierce's hair, the shorter male's head on his chest. A shaky breath left the freckled man's mouth.

   "You're thinking about him again. . . Aren't you?" Axel questioned.

   Pierce nodded, "Yeah." He muttered.

   "Don't let that guy bother you." The blonde told him, "This won't be going on forever."

   "I-- You're right."

   "I know."

   "The one person you know you want to spend the rest of your life with."

   "Will you marry me?"

   Thump! Thump! Thump!

   "Yes!"

   "The last face you hope you'll ever see."
