Words

Nico looked at his arm and laughed. His words never failed to cheer him up. 'Oh, fuck. I bet that's him. Quick, think something cool. Oh, shit. That didn't count, did it? Oh no. I blew it. He'd better not be my soulmate.'

Everyone was born with words on their wrist. The words were the first thing your soulmate will think when they see you. As soon as Nico could read, he knew two curse words. His parents made him cover his words with bracelets and long sleeves when he was at school, so the other kids wouldn't also learn the words. Now that Nico was an adult, he didn't have to cover his words.

His were definitely not the worst words. He knew someone who had 'please have my babies' on their wrist. His sister, Hazel, had 'how does she not know how to use a cell phone? I need to go help her.' Her boyfriend, Frank, had 'I hope he's not judging me for not being able to use this cell phone.'

On his friend Reyna's arm was, in all caps, 'BITCH USE YOUR BLINKER OR I SWEAR I WILL HIT YOU SO HARD YOUR EYES WILL POP OUT OF YOUR ASS! Oooh she's pretty, she can live.'

Nico wasn't too desperate to meet his soulmate. He had a pretty full life. He had friends and hobbies. But sometimes he did get lonely. He had to admit that having a boyfriend would be nice. Someone to drink coffee with and to stay up until three am with. Someone to binge tv shows with and someone to cry with when bad things happened. Someone to love.

"Nico. You are coming and that is final." Hazel said, glaring at her brother.
"I don't want to third wheel on your date with your boyfriend." Nico groaned.
"Maybe you'll meet someone. Maybe you'll even meet your soulmate!"
"I seriously doubt my soulmate would be at a cat cafe. What kind of nerd goes to a cat cafe?"
"You are going. Come on. I'll buy you a coffee." Hazel said. Nico considered this. "Fine."

Nico drank his coffee angrily. He had three cats climbing on him. On on his head, one at his feet, and one on his lap.
"They seem to like you." The cat cafe lady giggled. Nico glared at her.
"Which one are you taking home?" She asked.
"None of them. I came for the coffee."
"It sure would be a shame if you left without taking a little angel."
"Go away." Nico said. The lady rolled her eyes and walked away.

Nico was about to leave. He was going to go to the car and wait for Hazel and Frank to be done with the cats. He started walking to the door when he bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry," He mumbled. Then he looked up. Fanfiction blue eyes, Nico thought.

"Um," The man said uncomfortably. "Sorry. I'm Will."
"Nico."
"Ooooooooohhhhhh, Nico's got a boyfriend!" Hazel squealed from behind her brother.
"I just met him!" Nico said angrily. "He's not my boyfriend!"
"Would you like to be? I've been told I have fanfiction blue eyes. But I'm also a disaster, so you win some you lose some."
"It's funny, I actually thought that when I first bumped into you."
"Soulmates!" Hazel's body was trembling with excitement. She handed Will a paper booklet.
"What is this?" He asked.
"A guide to dating Nico, plus some tests to make sure you're good enough for him."
"Hazel...." Nico groaned.
"I need to make sure he's right for you."
"Ignore her." Nico said. "What brings you to the cat cafe?"
"I need to buy more cat treats for my cat, Edmund. She gets mad if I run out of treats, and the ones from here are her favorite."
"Yeeeee! I love cats!" Hazel said, trying to force the pamphlet into Will's hand.
"Um... thanks?" Will said to Hazel, before turning to Nico. "Do you want to go out some time?"
Nico smiled. "I'd like that."
