Tattoo Soulmates (Part One)

(Did I mention I have a new obsession for soulmate Aus? Also thanks for making me feel welcome, Diakko Discord server! You know who you are ;))

(Diana POV)

Patience.

My tattoo.

Everyone is born with one on their right wrists. It's said your soul mate is the only other person with the same word. When you turn 18, you can begin your search for them.

This year I'm finally old enough to begin my quest to find mine.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay by yourself? We could go with you, ya know!" Hanna says as I finish packing my last suitcase.

"Yeah! I'm sure with the three of us looking, we'll fond them a lot safer and quicker, too!" Barbra pipes up from next to her.

I sigh, glancing my three suitcases over once more before I move to pull on my black knee boots.

"I've told you both before. You know I have to find her myself. That's how it works." I say as I sling my jacket on as well.

"Yeah but Barb helped me find Amanda and nothing went wrong!" Hanna says.

"Hanna, you found her because that man slammed into her after trying to steal your purse," I say, "What of I'm not that lucky?"

She simply shrugs, turning away to most likely text her girlfriend.

Barbra looks at me with a worried glance, biting her lip.

"Be careful, Okay? Call us of you need something, and we'll fly the world to come get you." she says, placing a hand on my shoulder as I open the door ready to step into the unknown.

"Thanks, Barb. But I think I'll be okay." I say with a smile, opening the door to find a pair of deep red eyes staring back at me.

F*ck, she's cute.

(Akko POV)

Patience.

That's what I knew I needed to have when it came to finding her.

I sigh as I look out the window of my plane as it was getting ready to land.

I was here in England with my friend Amanda to visit her new girlfriend.

Er, well, her soul mate. They had both recently turned 18, so they met about two years ago.

I had just turned 18 a few months ago, and I'm not gonna lie I'm a little nervous to meet mine.

I had been thinking about how badly I could mess things up when I met them the entire ride and those thoughts didn't cease once the plane landed and we were off.

Once we arrived by cab to Hanna' s house, I walked up and knocked on the door as Amanda grabbed our bags from the trunk.

The door is opened by the hottest girl I've ever seen in my life, who looks like she might catch flies with her jaw hanging slack like it was and her bugging eyes.

F*ck, she's cute. I giggle.

"Amanda!" Hanna calls, rushing past me and the girl to jump into her girlfriend's waiting arms.

"Hey, babe!" Amanda calls, hugging her, "This is my friend, Akko. The one I told you about? Yeah, apparently her gut's been telling her that her soulmate was here, so I thought I'd let her tag along. Hope that's okay?" she says sheepishly.

"Of course! Welcome, Akko! Make yourself at home." A third girl with raven hair calls from inside, grabbing my wrist and tugging me inside.

"So, Akko where ya from?" Hanna inquires, following her friend with Amanda and the other girl at her sides.

"Japan." I answer simply as they open a door to my room.

"Japan?" The hot blond asks loudly.

I nod as her two roommates giggle at her outburst.

"Diana over here keeps yapping about how 'her soulmate just has to live in Japan'!" Hanna says, mocking her friend who began to blush.

"Really? Huh, small world, I guess." I say with a chuckle, reaching my arm up to scratch my neck.

Diana squints, looking at my arm.

"What... What does your tattoo say?" Diana asks slowly.

"Annoyance." Amanda and Hanna say in unison with a laugh.

"Not you, her." The other girl- Barb, I think I heard Hanna call her- says with a huff.

"Oh. It says 'patience'. I don't really get it, but I guess that you're not supposed to understand them, ya know?" I laugh nervously as the cute blond continues to stare at me.

"Did you just say... Patience?!" Diana squeaks, her face going red.

I nod slowly, looking to Hanna as if to ask 'What's up with her?'

Hanna shrugs as Diana takes an unsteady step towards me, grabbing my wrist.

She pulls it towards her, inspecting it as my face goes red at our close proximity.

"Akko." she says quietly, her eyes never leaving my arm.

"Do you know what this means..?" she asks after a moment's hesitation.

"What... What means?" I ask, unsure of what she was referring to.

She brought down her right wrist, my eyes widening in realization-

(Okay so don't hate me but to make sure this thing wasn't like a million words long I kinda just chopped it in half sorry lol)
