Soulmates

The people who liked the first one-shot, thank you so much. I know it was really short. And I do have the next part so I can update that sometime. Until i do that, read this other AU one shot i wrote. And Ramadan Mubarak to all my lovely Muslim brothers and sisters.

In a world where the first words your soulmate says to you will be etched on your skin, Hinata was nervous to find her own soulmate.

Why?

Because of what the writing on her arm was.

Shit, he's dead.

The writing was neat and loopy. And certainly belonging to a male. But unfortunately, no one had ever said this to her yet. And who the hell was he?

And why was he dead? She hoped it was nothing serious. Because she didn't need a psychopath murderer soulmate. She'd rather die a cat-lady.

But soulmates were true. And almost all her friends had already found their soulmates. Sakura was the first one. She'd desperately been hoping that her soulmate would be Sasuke Uchiha, the one year older senior.

He was very handsome. But also very indifferent and rude to girls most of the time. He didn't talk much and Hinata had never interacted much with him.

But instead, Sakura's soulmate had been the literal ray of sunshine, Uzumaki Naruto, an exchange student from Europe. Was it a coincidence?

No. Fate.

He'd bumped into her on his first day. And the words he'd uttered was "Your hair's a pink mess."

Sakura had hit him rather hard for saying that along with a "You idiot! Watch it!". It had been a moment before both of them realized what the other had said.

Naruto showed her the writing on his stomach while she uncovered her shoulder. Sakura had been pretty disappointed about her soulmate at first.

But Naruto had been the sweetest, most understanding guy Hinata had ever seen. He'd persisted and Sakura had eventually come around.

Similarly, Tenten had found love with Hinata's own cousin. She'd visited Hinata's home for the first time and upon seeing Neji, the first words out of her mouth had been.

"Is that your sister?"

Neji had looked up sharply. Partially annoyed while partially intrigued. "No, are you her boyfriend?"

And BAM, those were their first words. They were soulmates.

Ino's story had been quite funny. She had been running late for class when she entered the class out of breath. She'd looked at a pale looking boy, quite handsome with his high cheekbones and dark eyes.

Instead of asking for the professor's permission to enter she's blurted out.

"Are you single?"

The boy had been quiet for a single beat before replying. "You really should work on your tact. But yes."

That had been that.

Now, all there was left was for Hinata to find her own soulmate. Right now, she stood by her locker, watching as a flock of girls surrounded Sasuke and Naruto, asking them out for the upcoming dance.

Sasuke looked really annoyed. It wasn't until Naruto helped him shoo them away that his eyes locked with her.

His gaze was really intense and annoyed and she blushed before turning away.

What the hell was wrong with her heart for beating so fast suddenly?

NONE of her friends were available. They were all out of town/working/on dates. She groaned. Tenten was home with Neji which made her really want to stay out. She did not want to hear them together.

So, she grabbed a ticket for the latest Sci-fi movie and headed inside the theater with a large bucket of buttered popcorn.

As the movie began, she turned to see someone sit down next to her. Uchiha Sasuke. He graced her with a mocking bow as the movie began and turned towards the screen.

There were plenty of empty seats. She wondered why he sat next to her. But she didn't wonder for long as the movie began at that instance.

It was intriguing and apparently it was the Sci-fi series Neji was always talking about. He'd come to see this movie 3 times since its release.

Judging by how captivated Sasuke looked, it really was an emotional movie for them since it was the last movie of the series.

Hinata had no clue what was going on half the time but the hero was hot so she kept watching, tiredly.

She was the only girl here who was alone here, she realized. Otherwise the theater was full of boy or the girls who had been dragged here for a date.

The movie was ending and the Hero's best friend was dying. Hinata felt sad for him even thought she didn't know his whole story.

The hero was crying as his best friend took his last breaths and the love interest hugged him quietly. They moved on, the establishment settled and they saved the world.

The end.

By the time the credits rolled in, almost all the boys were shocked/anguished/crying. Hinata heard a muffled sniffle from her side and turned towards Sasuke.

He was crying. Literally. He had tears! And he was trying his best to shut up. "Are you crying?" she asked.

His eyes widened as he wiped the tears hurriedly and sat up straight. He was about to say something before he nodded once.

"Shit, he died."

Her eyes widened too as he sighed and stood up. He started walking off, too distraught to discern what he'd just said.

Hinata stood by dumbly for a whole minute before she ran out of the theater after him. He was gone. Maybe he'd run off in embarrassment.

Her soulmate had literally walked off, without even realizing what she'd said to him or what he'd said.

She ground her teeth and walked off. Thinking it just had to be Sasuke, didn't it?

__________

Sasuke couldn't believe he had cried in front of the Hyuga! The only girl he actually liked. He'd blown it with her.

He'd seen her sitting alone at the theater and decided to finally make his move in his last year. Who knew when he'd find his soulmate, why not ask out the girl he actually sort of liked?

He just felt an undeniable attraction to her.

He'd hated it first, but now he thought maybe it wasn't a bad thing since she never tended to annoy him. But he'd been too captivated by the movie the whole time to even talk to her.

He hadn't known the movie would end like that, making him cry, or he'd have waited another day to make his move on her. She'd be laughing at him, he was sure. Her pretty laugh-

Ahem. Anyways, he cried in front of her and now she must think he was a cry-baby. But the movie was too emotional. Thinking about the movie, he felt sad and angry at the same time.

Dammit.

She'd seen him cry. As if it wasn't bad enough his soulmate would see him crying too when she would say her first words to him.

Wait a second.

What had she said?

Are you crying?

He immediately took off his shirt and looked at his collarbone. The same words were etched on his collarbone as if with a black sharpie, in a small neat cursive writing.

Hinata.

Hinata Hyuga was his soulmate.

Soulmate.

Author notes: So yeah. i really find the concept of the "first words your soulmate utters to you" fascinating. And i just thought, why not.

Let me know what you think and probably curse me for making the abrupt ending. But I'll write a bonus scene or a short second part. 

Check out my account and comment what you think. Until the next update.
