Soulmate AU where anything you write on your skin shows up on your soulmate's skin in the same place.

Race $15

"What the fuck does that mean?" Katherine watched the writing as it appeared on the back of Crutchie's hand.

Crutchie stared at it cluelessly "I have no idea" His soulmate was interesting to say the least. They were clearly very forgetful, dates and times were always being written. Some of the things made less sense, sometimes there were things that seemed like ideas (Once it was just the words "Horse dressed as coffee cup") maybe they were an artist. Crutchie's favorite was when they started drawing or painting, he loved to watch the lines appear, or the colors spread across his arm.

"What does Race mean?" Kath asked

"Isn't that what someone in your math class is called?" On the first day of school Katherine got back from math and announced she hated her class. Apparently most of the kids goofed off the whole time, there was just a huge group of friends that caused trouble and went to the school (They called themselves the Newsies, a nickname no one knew the origin of). The leader was Jack Kelly, a very cute boy who Crutchie kinda had a huge crush on.

"Oh yeah" Kath agreed "Maybe soulmate owes him money?" She suggested "You could ask"

"Uh, no." Crutchie hated talking to people he didn't know, it felt awkward and made him nervous. And it would be difficult to get Race alone, he was always surrounded by friends. If Crutchie talked to him he would also have to talk to whoever Race was with, and knowing his luck Race would be with Jack. Katherine dropped the subject and waved at Sarah Jacobs across the table. She came and sat down across from Crutchie.

"You have paint on your face again" Sarah said as a greeting. Crutchie's hand moved to his cheek and Kath laughed.

"I can't wash it off, it's my soulmate" Crutchie explained, he had tried to wash off the paint that was always appearing on his face or arms but he couldn't.

"I have an idea" Kath dug through her bag and pulled out a pen. She took Crutchie's arm and started writing on it "Wash. Your. Face. Dumbass" She read off what she was writing.

"Kath that's mean" Sarah argued "We both know Crutchie would never swear at his soulmate"

Their conversation dissolved into a pointless argument and Crutchie just watched his arm. Sarah and Katherine argued a lot, but ever since they realized they were soulmates the arguments started to end in making out, which always lead to Crutchie awkwardly sitting next to them. He watched as his soulmate started writing something:

Oops : )

Sarah stopped arguing with Kath to look at Crutchie with a badly disguised smile "You have more paint on your face" She pointed at the general area of his face. Sarah and Kath both dissolved into laughter and Crutchie rolled his eyes. He glanced in the window, there was already a small smudge of blue paint on his cheek but it looked like his soulmate had purposely wiped yellow paint across his nose and cheeks. The warning bell rang and they exchanged looks before shooting to their feet.

"Are you going to go to class with paint on your face?" Kath asked. She wiped at the paint a little, but it made no difference.

"I don't have much of a choice" Crutchie reminded her. Going to class with paint on his face wasn't ideal, but the paint wasn't coming off until soulmate washed their face.

Jack sighed and threw down his cards when it became apparent he was going to lose. You would think knew not to bet money against Race after three years of losing money. "I'm done"
