Part two will go deeper into the tattoo soulmate stuff. Enjoy! 😍

I was holding Jughead's hand as we walked into the diner. Veronica and the other boy sit in another booth, giving the both of us privacy. We sat in a booth and I noticed a small tattoo on his wrist.
"What's that say?" I ask, wanting to know more about this young man I have fallen for.
"It says, stay gold. Funny story, I woke up on my 18th birthday and it was just there. I thought nothing of it at first, but then decided to investigate after my roommate denied profusely if he did it. I went to the library and looked at many, many books about tattoos. Then I came upon a book on romantic myths and legends that had exactly what I was looking for in the library." He explains.
"What's the story behind it?" I ask, wondering if the same thing that happened to him has happened to me.
"There was a story about a town that when you woke up on your 18th birthday, the first or most important thing your soulmate tells you is tattooed somewhere on your body. "
I look at him in disbelief and then look down at my ankle. Written in cursive writing upon my light skin, Not all that glitters is gold, and I realize that that is the first thing Jughead said to me while we were in the library. I stare straight into his eyes and he sends me a confused look.
"Jug. This morning while I walked out of the library I said Stay gold. The first thing you said to me was All that glitters is not gold. My ankle has that tattooed on the side. Look." I slip my shoe off and show him my foot.
He looks at me with gleaming eyes.
And almost simultaneously be both say:
"We're soulmates."
I grab our bag of waffles and bee-line out of the diner. I rush home to my dorm pulling Jughead along with me.
"Jughead. Do you realize that no matter what happens to us we will end up together on way or another? We could break up in two days and then never speak again for six years, which I do not want to happen, but then we would find our way back to each other." I realize out loud. He grabs my face and pushes it against his. I would have so much regret in my life if it weren't for this moment.
"Screw it" he says. He starts taking off my jacket and I grab his. I tangle my fingers in his soft Raven hair as he kisses me, our tongues meeting and pulling away. I feel the tension like a rope around my neck, so I pull away for a few seconds, but he declines and grabs my cheeks and kisses me once more. One day and I already love him.
(I do not write smut no no no. This is only a very very passionate kiss/make out for a one shot. It might seem rushed, but that's because there are already two parts sorry.)
We pull ourselves together again and put on our clothes. We sit in the common room eating waffles and sharing stories. I am ready to have the best college experience ever.
