When Roots Grow Too Far, You Just Have To Dig Deeper

Chapter One: When Love Commonly Blooms

There are many stories of how people have met their soulmates. How their roots are connected even when they haven't met yet. Those stories are very popular at weddings, just to stand there and tell the tale of how you discovered your partner's flowers in same place as your paper cuts or bruises. To keep the first flower that bound you both, since they last longer than a normal flower.

Soulmate Flowers are nice and pretty and unknown. Scientists have tried to study the breeds that emerge on a soulmate, the color, the health of the buds. Scientists have tried to predict the Soulmate Flowers, however they always fail. No one knows why Soulmate Flowers are the way they are, nor do they know where it came from. All anyone knows is that one day flowers started blooming on a person's body where their soulmate was hurt from most likely a cut or abrasion.

Some consider the flowers a sign of togetherness or of growing up. The flowers were always considered blessings or good things; things to be celebrated. So much so that Hallmark had already written so many soap operas, shows, and cards about the flora. Hallmark is still pumping out as many flower related puns that they can think of, after all there is 400,000 different breeds to work with creatively.

But when one boy woke up one morning with flowers, in a state of happy drowsiness he cut the blooms and kept them somewhere safe. He went on his day giddy with joy, he finally had proof that there was someone for him, someone to live out his days with. However, the joy ceased the next morning when he woke up with more flowers on his body. At first he was slightly concerned, until it evolved into fear when the flowers kept growing back everyday. He would cut the flowers, hide them away and pretend they didn't exist, but he hoped his soulmate just had a hobby in a fighting form. Hoped that this was normal, hoped that everything would be okay.
