Short as fuck but it's an update.

Alex was smiling as he glanced over at Eliza. His smile immediately turned into a frown when he noticed that his girlfriend was, well, frozen in place. His eyes widened and he felt like he could barely breathe. "Wha.... what the..."

"Fuck," Alexander heard a breathless voice mumble behind him. He turned around slowly, taking deep breathes and trying not to burst into angry tears.

"John?" Alexander's eyes widened and he scrambled up, glancing from John to Eliza and back again. John slid down the wall and hid his head in his hands. Alexander began pacing the room, mumbling barely coherent things. "No. No, no, no. This can't be right. Somethings wrong. There's been a mistake or something—"

"Soulmates aren't mistakes, Alex," John interrupted. Alexander continued on as if he hadn't heard him.

"You... you cant be my soulmate!" Alex cried. "No offense," he added, as if that would make the statement any less offensive. "But... Eliza has to be my soulmate! I mean she's the love of my life I can't just—" Unbeknownst to Alexander, John had stood up and was know grabbing onto Alex's shoulders.

"Calm down. I'm pretty fucking shocked too, if you didn't notice." Now that it was mentioned, Alex could notice. John was shaking slightly, and his eyes were unsteady and foggy. He looked like he was struggling to breathe. A flicker of worry shot into Alexander's chest.

"Hey... are you okay?"

"Yeah," John let go of Alexander's shoulders, shoving him slightly in the process, "I'm just fine! I'm fucking awesome! My best friend is my soulmate, isn't that just fucking great?" John was definitely shaking now, and Alexander wondered if he was the one who needed to 'calm down.'

"Uhh...."

"Sorry," John breathed, "sorry."

"No.... problem?" John breathed out a sarcastic laugh.

"This fucking sucks." He wandered over and sat down on the couch, and Alexander followed behind him apprehensively.

"Yeah.... I guess." Alexander took a seat next to the man and sighed. "So. Let's uh... get to know each other."

"What?"

"Well... even though we are like... best friends, we don't know much about who we were. Like... backgrounds and shit."

"Oh."

"So.... what do you wanna know?" John looked over at Alexander.

"Anything."
