Feliciano sturdied his swimshirt, which was fixed over his slender form and hung a few inches past the waistband of his swim trunks. Most people thought he was just conscious about his body, but it was really to cover the two marks on his shoulder stretching to his chest. It was embarrassing, although not as embarrassing as his older brother lovino's mark, which was a black handprint on his cheek, meaning his first physical contact with his soulmate would be a slap. Fortunately for Lovino he had already met his soulmate a long time ago, and his mark had turned first many colors, then red as the color of an actual slap mark, then a normal tan skin color.
Feliciano, on the other hand, feared his mark. Although it wasn't much to poke fun at, Feli, being the self-counsious kid he was, was afraid it'd mean he'd be raped or something when he first met his soulmate. Sighing, he grabbed his float ring (that looks like a pizza of course) and jogged out into the heat of summer.
He skipped over to the towel where Lovino and his boyfriend, Antonio, where sitting and chatting. When he approached Lovino turned and glared at Feliciano "What the hell took so long?" Feli shrugged and grabbed his brother's arm "if you're so impatient, let's go already!" He pulled him up and dragged the cursing Italian to the shore. Antonio could be heard chuckling before following
They had a great time at the beach. As the sun was getting close to touching the sea, Feliciano noticed Lovino and Antonio were having a more private and personal conversation, so quietly Feliciano slipped away. Running down the beach to let steam out, he barely noticed that he was approaching a patch of shattered glass until a shard pierced his delicate foot.
With a yelp of pain, Feliciano tried to avoid stepping on that foot again but quickly found himself hurtling towards the glass-ridden earth. Closing his eyes, he prepared for glass to cut him.
Suddenly hands wrapped around his chest, gripping his shirt and pulling him back up, away from the glass and shards and into the man's chest. In an instant he felt himself being picked up with a squeak, and being set back down on the ground away from the glass.
"Are vou alright?" A low strong voice asked him. Feli looked up with teary eyes and met eyes with a tall, muscular blonde man with electric blue eyes "yes, I think so..." Feli stuttered. "You should have veen watching vhere you were going. Lotz ov people leave broken glazz here..." "th-thank you for catching me..." Feliciano thanked. The man smiled. "Zhe name's Ludvig. Without the accent, if you know what i mean." Ludwig looked away embarrassed, which made Feli grin without even knowing "my name'sa Feliciano! Feliciano Vargas!" The two struck up a conversation about leaving their brothers along for a little while... (~OwO~) soon they reached the topic of their soulmates.
"Vell, my mark is..." Ludwig looked down at his arms and his eyes widened. Feliciano peeked over. The larger man's forearms and palms were a bright complex of many colors, more colors than imaginable. Ludwig's breath quickened. "Vhen did..." he slowly turned and looked at Feliciano, who was beginning to understand the situation as well. Quickly Feliciano stood and tore off his shirt.
Where there had been two black markings there was now a palette of splashes of color where Ludwig had caught his fall. Looking into Ludwig's blue eyes, Feliciano suddenly understood what just happened. He sat back down and hugged Ludwig.
