Newsies- Soulmate AU Thingy! (DISCONTINUED!)

Blush | Chapter One

[BLINK'S POV]
Oh, so I have to tell a story now? And what the heck is "Blush"?

Anyway, uh....
Hi! I'm Louis Baletti, but you can call me Kid Blink!

Most likely you people know who I am and don't need an explanation, so I'm gonna continue now.

I'm bored. There's nothing to do.
Then I find some green writing on my arm:
Hi! I'm Mush! :D

Oh, yeah. There's these people called "soulmates" whom all the people I've heard narrating so far have found. Knowing the nature of the author, I've just found mine.

Oh, well. Time to pretend I don't know I'm narrating.

How am I supposed to answer him? I don't think I have any washable markers...

I find a blue sharpie. That's good enough. I write below Mush's message:
Nice to meetcha, Mush. I'm Kid Blink.

I guess we're not gonna be on firt-name basis, since we both only know each other's nicknames.

Do you mind if I call you Blinky? Mush asks.

I guess I'll let him, since he is my soulmate and that would make him happy.

I write in blue, Sure, as long as you let me call you Mushy. It's only fair.

Am I really nicknaming his nickname? Well, then again, he's nicknaming my nickname, so I have no room to talk.

I don't know how I know, but this Mush guy is no doubt a cutie.

Yay :D! I love you, Blinky!

I chuckle to myself. Aww, he's so cute! I can't wait to meet him.

I love you too, Mushy, I reply.

Shit, my eyepatch is still drying from when I washed it... I got it dirty somehow the other day...
Right now, both of my eyes are visible. One is its normal green color, the other (which is normally covered by the above-mentioned eyepatch) has a completely silver contact to cover up the eye, which was messed up really bad when I was little.

So until my eyepatch is clean, everybody's gonna see both of my eyes.
My left eye's so messed up, the silver contact concealing it is completely silver with no white. That's why I wear my eyepatch.

I'm half-blind. But since my left eye's been messed up since childhood, I've gotten used to using my right eye to see everything.

Shoot, I'm getting off-topic, aren't I? I'm being a bad narrator today.
Sorry. Back to talking about Mush.

I constantly look at my arm. I haven't gotten a reply in a while. Maybe Mush is busy...

Just as I'm about to go do something else, a tiny green heart shows up on my finger.
I'm pretty sure he just put that because he couldn't think of what else to write.

Are you bored? I ask him.

Within a few seconds, Mush replies:
Yeah, a little. There's nothing fun to do.

Hey, do you have a phone? I ask Mush.

No, Mush's green handwriting answers.

How the hell is he over eighteen and not have a phone?
This is gonna be a bit of trouble... everybody else moved from writing on their arm to talking on the phone to physically meeting...

[MUSH'S POV]
Hi! I'm Mush!
I was bored earlier, so I wrote a tiny little green message on my arm. I almost forgot soulmates were a thing, so I was surprised when I got an answer.

"So you'se the one narratin' now?" a disembodied voice asks.

I jump a little.
Narrating? I'm in a book?
And who is this voice?

"Oops, sorry, Mushy," the voice apologizes.
"I didn't mean to frighten you."

Mushy?
But to the extent of my knowledge, only my soulmate calls me that...
Does that mean this voice is the voice of my soulmate?

"Yep," the voice answers.

"But how can I hear you?" I ask.

"It's... a long story. I can somehow hear the narrator person's thoughts. And when anything relating to me is being narrated about, I decide to be stupid and butt my head into their narration."

I am so confused...
So I'm a narrator?
Well, uh, I am currently having a little narrative in my head about what's happening to me right now...

"So, uh, about you not havin' a phone..." Blink's voice starts.
"How are we supposed to meet up if there's no way for you to get a hold of me? Do any of the people you live with have a phone?"

I live by myself, so no...

"Hmm... this is different. I'se heard about four different groups of soulmates gettin' together by talkin' on the phone and plannin' something. And I guess the person typin' this out right now-"

Wait, wait, wait!
There's a person typing our whole conversation out?

Yep! a female voice exclaims.

I'm about to faint. So many strange voices can hear me...

"End the chapter, author person!" Blink yells.
"Mush is not okay! Either end the chapter or give the POV back to me!"

But you two only get to narrate once a chapter. So Mush has to finish his narration. I have to get at least 1K words to post this on Wattpad.

"What's 'Wattpad'?" Blink asks.

Let me narrate, Blink and author person!

I... am scared...
Blink, can you tell the author person to have you come to my house to comfort me? You're my soulmate, so you probably know where my house is.

"You heard that, author person? I'se off to Mush's house!"

Welp, I have to write that now...
Blink somehow knows where Mush lives and gets in his car, driving to Mush's place. Mush sits in his living room, scared on the couch.

Okay, next chapter!

|A/N| Heya, friends! Yep, I'm (sorta) a character now! Because I made Blink explain his whole "I can hear the narrator" thing (carried over from my other book), I decided Blink should reference me typing this into Wattpad, ultimately making me a technically character but not quite.
Jeez, I turned this into such a weird chapter...

Anyway, bye friends!
