Kirona/ SoMa Soulmate AU

Untitled Part 1

A/N: Hey so the format of this will be kinda weird. This is literally just responses from a pretty long winded roleplay that's going on between a friend and I. So don't read this like an actual fanfic! Read it as if you're reading straight out of someone's roleplays. Because, well, you basically are. 

----------------------------------

Kid sat quietly leaned back against the arm rest of the couch facing his partner. Patty was off somewhere only by his request in order to have this talk alone with Liz. For nearly two years now he had believed that Liz was his match. He was just too afraid to tell her or thought that maybe Liz was too shy to tell /him/. When you meet your soulmate, you're supposed to be able to see the color of their eyes. Yet, Kid had all of them. He could see every color. Nothing was weird or black and white like everyone else saw. So that meant Liz absolutely had to be his match considering he was always with her.
But before he could even ask about being her soulmate, Liz had already taken over informing him that she had great news to share with him and eagerly sat the both of them down.

-

The butterfly's bubbled in her stomach as she giddily described to her best friend the person she had finally met. The one you're told as a child that would change your world forever, your soulmate. Liz shifts in her seat as she describes in details how she met her beloved in a park while going on a very unmotivated jog with Patty at the park. "It happened in an instant. Me and this guy locked eyes and BOOM. I could suddenly see what I'm assuming was purple all around me," she looks down at the ground, smiling to herself, "ya know, it's funny how something you've never seen your whole life can quickly become your favorite thing to look at." She looks up at Kid, giving him a big grin. Kid, being her best friend in the world besides Patty, she had to tell him the news, thinking he'd be just as ecstatic as her. Oddly enough, he just sat there. Staring off into space as if he had his mind else where. Her smile fades. She scrunched her brows in annoyance, "Uhhhh, Kid? Were you even listening???" She pouts.

-

Kid drummed his fingers against his pant leg softly and idly almost as if just to give himself something to do as he listened to Liz brag on and on about this man she had met. It was heartbreaking; to think that this person you thought would be around for you whole life suddenly left you for someone else. And even worse. She never chose him to begin with.
So why was it that he could see everything? Every color that was described to him was there. Everyone's eyes were a distinct color. Green, blue, purple, red, brown. They all meant nothing to him because he could always seem them.
He snapped out of his thoughts turning his attention to Liz who seemed a little more than annoyed with how he didn't seem to be paying attention. "Yes, you're in love.. Congratulations." His words came out harsh and forced but he cleared his throat to show he meant them in no such way. "Did you.. Happen to exchange numbers then?" He asked quietly truly wondering about who exactly it was that was taking his so-called 'soulmate' from him.

-

Liz narrowed her eyes as the sharpe words came from his mouth. Why does it bother him so much even if she did get his number? She bites her tongue, choosing to ignore the first snarky comment, "We didn't at first," she turns away from Kid, facing forward on the couch, "He ran with us for a minute, we introduced ourselves, and then offered to grab Patty and I a bite to eat," she crossed her arms and huffed, "then we exchanged numbers." She closed her eyes, waiting for a response. All she got was a faint grunt out of him and then silence. She sat there for a minute, the annoyance growing into irritation. With a big sigh she unfolds her arms and turns, plopping herself dramatically on the couch as she waves her hands "Kid?? What is WRONG with you?? Jeez, I thought that you would be happy for me? Is it because you don't trust the guy?" The realization that this might just be him being protective of her calms her a bit. She tries to lighten the mood "....he's symmetrical..." she smiles, hoping to get at least the tiniest of chuckles from him, but his solemn expression doesn't seem like it's gonna budge. He's truly bothered by something.

-

He continued to listen quietly only becoming more and more frustration with the mention of this man that she would be texting and calling non stop. He knew Liz. She was always on her phone only looking up to fix her appearance. Sure, it was annoying at times but he didn't mind all that much because that was who she was. But the fact that her time on her phone would now be occupied by her match just straight up pissed him off.
It did cross his mind that he may just be protective but no matter how hard he wanted to deny it, the real problem was jealousy.
"He's symmetrical.." He repeated softly back at her feeling as if he was just being mocked out of pity by this point. He sighed heavily looking down at his lap refusing to meet eyes with her any longer. "Somehow that doesn't seem to make anything better. I just need to go on a walk."

-

Liz was totally at a loss. She really wasn't sure what she said to cause this reaction. If there was one thing she did know, it was that she was hurt. She scoffs as he slowly gets up without hesitation. Her heart slightly breaking at the thought that this could be it for their friendship. She and Kid had been friends for as long as she could remember. Maybe thought of someone else occupying her time scared her? Their trio of him, her and Patty becoming just her and this other man, her soulmate? Growing up on the streets, she's learned to cope with things like this by turning it into anger and apathy. She doesn't have time for sadness, or people who don't have time for her. She's used to people walking out of her life, "Fine! Go on your 'walk'! If this is how it's going to be, then I'll make sure not to bother you with my life stories again!"

-

As he got up, he couldn't be bothered by the words she yelled at him. He couldn't really afford to or else he would just stop himself and try to reason with her and he couldn't do that unless he spilled why he was actually upset; and by this point, he wasn't sure he wanted to. He couldn't risk losing Liz even more than he just did simply by being butt hurt about her own happiness. He truly did wish the best for them but couldn't quite wrap his mind around /how/ she could be happy with someone she just met. Who was he to stop her though?
He just stayed silent walking past her to the door, shoving his hands into his pockets as he stepped outside.

-

Liz fought back tears and just sat. The bell on the door chimed as it opened. She sat and waited for him to turn and around and come back. At least to apologize and she would've forgave him. But that opportunity never came. He kept on walking, and she just sat there. Her mind was screaming for him not to leave. She didn't want to loose one of the two people she held dear to her. She heard that second chime as the door went to close. Those tears seemed to have a mind of their own as they streamed down her face. She looked up at the door to find that there was no Kid returning to her side. She got up and ran, knowing how ridiculous she looked while sobbing and running, but she didn't care. She opened the door and peeked out, checking both sides. But he was gone. She yells in frustration and throws the door back open, slamming it shut. She pulls out her phone and calls Patty to see when she would be arriving home.
