(So I'm making another soulmate au one shot. Everyone is born with a tattoo on their wrist of the first thing their soulmate ever says to them. Also, fun twist. This will be Nathaniel's point of view)

Nathaniel's POV~

I was sitting in my desk looking out the window. There are plenty of couple's in the class. All with tattoos of their first words. I sigh thinking about how I'm an oddity.

The teacher is in the middle of a lecture about how soulmates work. Tattoo and words. Everyone is born with one. A tattoo on their wrist of their soul mate's first words to them. When your soulmate talks to you for the first time, it stings, like they're setting light to the fire. We've heard this since we were little. Some kids even found theirs in preschool.

I start to zone out because it doesn't pertain to me.

My wrist is blank.

I keep a sweat band over my wrists so no one can see. I barely have any friends as it is. If anyone were to find out, who knows what would happen.

The bell rings for lunch to start and I pick up my things. Walking down to the door I see Marinette wave at me and I nod back. I'm self-conscious of showing my wrists even though they're covered. That's why I never wave.

I rush home to do my school work and maybe some drawing. It's a calming pass time that keeps me from worrying about the future.

"Nathan?" My mom called as I closed the front door.

"Yea." I sigh. "I'm home. Sadly." I mumbled the last part.

It's not like I hate going home, just my mom worries too much since I don't have a soulmate. I love her and all, but it's a little suffocating.

"Well, I'm making your favorite for dinner! What would you like to drink?" She pokes her head around the kitchen to see me go up the stairs.

"I'm fine with whatever. I'm going to do my home work." I sulked upstairs to start my work. At least, that was my plan.

My phone dinged with the notification sound. I had made a friend online a while ago, since I'm not really allowed out so I "don't get my hopes up".

I checked my phone and smiled down at the message from (y/n).

(I am now starting to write in phone texting so it's just his contact name for you)

I was actually smiling. She was the only person who I could actually talk to, and now she's coming to my school! I can actually meet her!

I put my phone to the side as I start my homework. The sooner I get it done, the sooner I can sleep. Then in the morning I'll meet my best friend in person!

My mom called me down to dinner, and ran back to room after. I fell asleep and the morning couldn't have come soon enough.

I've seen a picture of (y/n) a few times from social media profile pictures. Her (h/c) hair fell perfectly around her face. Her smile could lighten my mood so much.

I rushed to put my clothes on, I almost forgot my sweat bands. I laughed to myself as I put them on. I really was too eager to meet her. I sling my bag over my shoulder and I felt my phone ding with a notification and lunged for it.

I put my phone in my pocket and run to the school. As soon as I get there, I see a small crowd of people and I hear Chloe's yelling. Typical morning stuff. But what's different is everyone I know is in the crowd and no one is even responding to Chloe. I run up to see what's happening.

"-ould anyone even want you here? You can't even speak to stand up for yourself. It's pathetic."

"Chloe, that's enough. Leave her be."

I see Marinette standing in front of someone, that's when I notice the (h/c) hair, and I almost shouted her name. Instead I stand in front of Chloe too.

"Oh look, poor tomato artist is trying to protect maritrash."

"No. I'm standing up for (y/n). She didn't do anything to you, so leave her alone."

"Aww. Does the stupid tomato have a thing for the stupid mute?"

My eyes widen and I turn to look at (y/n), she was hiding her face behind her hair. She didn't look too good surrounded by all these people.

"Well too bad, it's not like she can be your soul mate. She can't say anything!" With that Chloe huffed and walked away, the crowd dispersing and walking away.

Marinette gives me a sympathetic smile and walks away. Once we're alone, I hug (y/n) tight.

"You're okay right? She didn't hurt you or anything?" In my arms I felt her suddenly cringe and I heard a sharp intake of breath.

"Are you okay?" She nods and lifts up her wrist. Written there were the words "you're okay right".

I stared at her in shock, then she looked at my wrists and frowns. She grabbed her phone and started typing.

"I bet you've already found one though. It's just coincidence. I can't say anything to you." She held up her phone and looked away, it almost hurt me seeing her that way.

"Hey, you'll be the first person I've showed this to." She looked back and I removed my sweat bands, to show my blank wrists. "So, you dont need to say a thing" she looked up at me and smiled so wide I felt my heart skip a beat.

She jumped and hugged me almost knocking us down. This was the happiest I've ever been for a while.

(I started this one a while ago, but in light of the newest episode I had to finish it. Lol, I remember from the first interaction of Marc and Nath my first though was "omg please be gay" and then turns out he is and I'm happy with these turn of events.)
