Hamilton a soulmate au

Chapter 2

John Laurens' POV

I stared up at the ceiling, this bed was actually pretty comfortable. I turned my head slightly to see Alex, who was furiously tapping away at his phone. Then I pulled down my sleeve to see my wrist.
0

I've always been confused why its said 0, but I do know a few people I've known since birth. Alex, Peggy and Eliza. I didn't know Angelica until later on since she used to always ignore her sisters.

"Hey John?"

I turned back to Alex.

"Hmm?"

"You seem lost in thought, what's up?"

"Just... Thinking about soul mates..."

Alex smiled.

"Maybe just talk to them,"

"How?"

"Just write on your arm or something then wash it off before you go out,"

"What if they dont respond?"

"John, its up to you, but you might learn a bit about this soulmate of yours,"

I considered it then got out a marker and started writing on my arm.

John
Johns soulmate
Hey
Oh hey, how are you?
Good, you?
I'm good. Guessing you got bored?
Well not really. I just wanted to get to know you, since I have an... interesting number....
Yeah... mines 0
Same
Well... what sort of things would you like to know?
What's your favourite colour?
I don't know. I like the shade that's supposed to be yellow. That's probably a cool colour
Yeah. It's kinda difficult to pick a favourite colour when you can't actually see them, I think mine would be blue? Then again when I see it I could just think ew.
Favourite animal?
Chickens
Turtles
Sorry.. I got to go, my sisters being a little bit of a bitch
Oh ok, see ya

I put down the pen and I saw Alex smiling at me.

"So, how'd it go?"

"It went well I guess.."

"Any idea who it might be?"

I paused for a moment.

"Eliza or Peggy... I've known them both since I was 0 and they both have a sister who's a little bit of a bitch..."

Alex's face lit up.

"If it's Peggy I will jump up and down screaming," he had a big grin spread across his face.

"Yeah yeah... what about your soulmate?"

"I haven't met them yet," He looked at his own wrist.

"When will you?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sometime in the next 365 days..." he showed me his wrist that read '17'

I had almost forgotten his 17th birthday was tomorrow... and I hadn't even got him a card or present.

"So you could meet them tomorrow?"

"Maybe," he shrugged obviously not caring much on the matter.

"Anyways I'm gonna go out for a bit, get some fresh air. See ya Alex,"

"See ya baby boy,"

"Love ya baby girl,"

I got up and walked out the door, out the dorm, and started to head to the shop. Me and Alex always acted like a couple, we never discussed anything and there was nothing more than best friends between us and yet we just acted like it. Neither of us questioned it. The rest of our friends didn't either. It was just natural. I reached the shop and picked something out for Alex.

Alex's POV

I sighed as John left the room. He had got me thinking about soulmates when I never really cared. I didn't care if I never met my soulmate, I didn't care if I never got to see colour. I just wanted to live my life the way I want it.

Despite my thoughts on this I got out a marker and began to write on my arm.

Hamilton
Hamilton's soulmate
Hey...
Oh hey, love
How are you?
I'm good. You?
Yeah I'm fine
Cool, what made you decide to come talk to me?
My dorm mate started me thinking about it, and my birthdays tomorrow so I'll be 17, and likely so will you?
Yeah. I'm already 17
Cool, when was your birthday?
Today
Oh happy birthday
Thanks
Do you ever think that you wouldn't care if you never met me or never saw colour?
Well. I don't really care if I don't see colour. I just want to meet you. You seem like a nice person
Thanks. But you don't know me that well
Well.. what's your favourite animal?
Lions
Cool. Mines probably bear cubs or mockingbirds
Nice, do you have a mockingbird?
Yeah. But he's round my new place in Virginia
What's he called
Dick. Don't judge me
I'm not gonna judge
Cool. I got to go now sorry love, I need to make lunch for me and my dorm mate
Ok see ya..
See ya love

I put the marker down and pulled down my sleeve as John walked in.

"Talking to your soulmate?"

"Maybe..."

"Thought you didn't care?"

"Well... they're nice..."

John sat down next to me on my bed.

"What'd you learn about them?" He smiled.

"Well.. he likes bear cubs and mocking birds.. and he has a mockingbird called dick-" John started to laugh.

"Sorry, continue,"

"Well.. that's all I know about him,"

"Ok, wanna have some lunch?"

"No thanks.. I'm not hungry,"

"Ok lemme rephrase that, let's go get lunch," he pulled me up by the arm and dragged me out the room.
