My necklace is half of the sun, just curved inward, like the moon. Most people's necklace doesn't match their other half's, but I have a feeling mine will. When your necklace has a curve in it, like a puzzle piece, it doesn't glow when it touches its match, but it fits. I think mine will fit with my future wife. I'm not attracted to women, but my parents say that when I find my soulmate, I'll love her. I guess I have to believe them.

I'm so excited! Most people meet their soulmates during the year they turn 17. I turned 17 a few months ago, but what if my soulmate is a different age then me? What if he's a year year older or younger? How old would I be when we met? Either we are the same age, or I'm slightly older. That'd be fine. Soulmates are never more than 2 years apart. When I turned seventeen, my mom told me all about soulmates. They could be of any gender, ethnicity, religion, or sex. As soon as your necklaces touch, they start glowing, she explained, but mine is a special kind that fits into my soulmate's necklace like a jigsaw puzzle. It's like a sun, but one end slants like a waning gibbous moon. It's made of gold toward the sunnier edge, but fades to black where it would connect. I find it absolutely beautiful. Some people don't like their necklace. My friend Annabeth has a glow-necklace the shape of a trident, and her boyfriend, Percy's is shaped like an owl. Those two are so cute together.

I'm finally moving to college, away from my parents. Thank god. I can't wait to not have to deal with their homophobic crap, their weird obsession with pomegranates, or anything else they can throw at me. They say that if I was gay, they would disown me, so I decided to not come out until college. Now I'm an orphaned 17 year old ready to face the world! While my parents hate me, my sisters don't. One of them is aromantic, and was born unbothered by a necklace. The other has already met her soulmate, a kind young man named Frank. He's nice, I guess. Not my type.

I unlock and open the door to my dorm. I was sharing it with a guy named Will. He was already kneeling on his bed, putting up pictures of his friends and family, along with some framed inspirational quotes. He heard me open the door and turned. He had glittery blond hair and pale blue eyes. "Hey! You must be Nico! I'm your roommate, Will, and I'm happy to meet you! What are you studying here?" He said this all fairly fast. It took me a moment to process everything.
"Yep. I'm Nico. I'm studying literature. I'm going to be an author, you?"
"I'm planning on being a pediatrician. I love kids and I'm good at medical stuff, so I think I'll enjoy it."
"Great." I responded, dragging my roller suitcase behind me. I didn't bring much with me, only what was important. My clothes, my books, a few posters, and a few college essentials. I taped up the posters, shelved the books, and hung the shirts.
"Oh, cool. You like Alice Isn't Dead? So do I. I love how scary it is, but especially the LGBTQ+ representation. I love seeing other gay people in the media." Will smiled at me.
"Me too," I responded, "I love being represented."
"You're gay too?"
"I sure am." I doubt he'll have a problem with it. He said 'other gay people' so he's not one to judge. He's pretty cute. I wonder if he's my soulmate.

When Nico walked into our dorm, I was pretty sure we were destined to be together. If we aren't, I will climb on to the roof of the cafe and shout "FUCK FATE!" before kissing Nico. I have to figure out how to match our necklaces, to see if I have to do the 'fuck fate' thing or if we're soulmates. Both are good options. He obviously likes me. I saw the way he blushed when I smiled at him. Or maybe he's just shy and I'm reading into this. Only one way to find out. I'll have to see if the necklaces match.

It's been about a month when I finally work up the courage to walk up and ask him. I'm usually so smooth. I say what I'm thinking, but for some reason it's harder with Nico. I guess I'm worried about what he'll think.
"Hey, Nico?" I ask timidly. He looks to me with a confused expression on his face.
"Yeah? What's wrong? You seem...... off."
Okay. Okay. Deep breaths. "Could we see if our necklaces fit? If you don't want to, that's fine. I doubt you want to. Let's stay friends! Actually, haha, April fools! Damn it, it's October. Um, I'm so sorry. How abou—"
"How about you shut up," Okay then. This isn't going well. "And we can see if they fit." He keeps his necklace under his shirt, so I've never seen it before, but it's gorgeous. Even better, it fits into mine like a puzzle piece. He looks up at me, shocked. I hug him, like I did when we were friends, but it's different now. He pulls me into a kiss. I've never kissed anyone before Nico, so I'm not sure what to do, but he seems to enjoy it.

Oh my god! Will is my soulmate! I can't believe it! I can't wait to tell Hazel, she'll be so happy for me. Heck, I'm so happy for me. My soulmate is WILL SOLACE! The most beautiful boy in the world. All of this is on my mind when I fall asleep next to him. "I'm so happy we're soulmates. Now I don't have to yell at the universe." Will whispered. "What?" "Oh, um, I'll explain later."
