PINK HEARTS [ JACK x ZACH ]

nine

jack ran to the washrooms, completely ignoring the teacher on lunch duty yelling at him.

he got into the washrooms and just stared at himself in the mirror. his arms, the messaging, the hearts, were all going to zach's arm?

jack wasn't mad at all. it was that the whole class knew who his soulmate was and not just him, which made it feel weird.

he walked to the far end of the washroom and just stood there. the teasing would probably be endless and even worse that they have an exact person on who is his soulmate.

jack heard the door open lightly and pretended to be just getting out of a stall.

in walked zach fiddling with his fingers nervously. jack looked up and watched zach walk in hesitantly, "bad time...?"

jack shook his head and waved him in. zach felt almost twenty pounds being lifted off his shoulders.

zach walked up to jack and looked him in the eye, "i'm so, so sorry jack."

jack stared at him, "sorry for what? it's ovalette's fault, not yours."

"i knew we were soulmates before what just happened."

jack almost couldn't look him in the eye anymore, his stare was so delicate it made him feel soft, fragile as he could breakdown any moment with any touch or word, "how?"

"in science class, remember when our teacher called you up and made you show the whole class what you were drawing? i saw your arm and then looked down at mine... and it was the exact same drawing."

jack half-smiled, "that's so cool."

zach nodded, "i know right."

"so that's why you were choking, i thought you were just mental." jack said with a snort.

zach scoffed but flushed red, "jeez."

"i don't know any people who have met their soulmate this early in their life." jack told.

"we're one of a kind."
