The Prince's Mate

🌪️ 19}

As a child Seika always made up scenarios of his meeting with his soulmate, everyday without fail he would have a scenario and he would babble about it to his mothers first thing in the morning. Unfortunately all of them were happy and positive ways of meeting, he never thought he would have a negative reaction but he did. When he saw the way the male reacted when their eyes met he knew there was something or someone who made him react like that. Even with that he never thought he would get rejected. A small part of his mind believes he wasn't but the biggest part keep drowning that small part of hope. He felt like falling in an endless hole when he heard his soulmate's words. He couldn't see much, everything became blurry and he felt like being underwater, everything sounded muffled. "I would be grateful if you stay away from me for a while" he could still hear it, the pain in his chest still felt like someone was squeezing his heart.

Seika couldn't remember much of what he did after his soulmate left, he did remember just sitting somewhere looking at the wall like he expected something to appear from it. He did remember hearing footsteps, the sound dull, then he heard it for the first time. His name, the voice wasn't familiar but he told himself that it was because he didn't hear it much but he loved the sound of it, he loved the way the voice called his name. He thought he was dreaming yet he felt hands on his skin, the foreign feeling of cold hands yet it felt so familiar, maybe he had dream of those hands one too many times ? He drowned in the feeling, he felt at home pressed against his soulmate's chest and surrounded by his scent. The scent of a rose after a morning shower, the same rose bathing in the sunlight, it was warm, so warm he felt like waking up for the first time in forever.

When Seika woke up, his orange eyes looked around hoping to find his soulmate next to him but what he found was his mothers, both of them looked sick, afraid of loosing their son and who he assumed was a doctor, he couldn't hear what he was telling them. Disappointed he closed his eyes again, he wanted his soulmate, he is grateful that his mothers are here but he needed to see his soulmate. He vaguely registered that the doctor left when he heard his mother Magnolia sigh, sit back and took a hold of his hand, she slowly rubbed her thumb on his hand in small circles, something she often did to wake him up when he was a child. Seika thought he fooled them since his eyes were closed but Xenia was having none of it, she pinched his cheek making him yelp, startling Magnolia. Xenia didn't hesitate to laugh at her wife's reaction, a soft smile painted on her usual stern face but it soon showed her relief.

The three of them sat there, Seika explaining what he remembered and Xenia telling him what the doctor said. Turned out that if his soulmate didn't find him he wouldn't be alive, he cried and demanded for his soulmate but Magnolia calmly explained that they had to take him home because he never left Seika's side. "Poor boy was there all the time, he never said anything nor did he do anything at all. If we didn't send him home the poor boy would have collapsed before you even thought of waking up."

Xenia told her wife to go home and bring the boy and the Genkishi siblings, after all they deserved to know their friend woke up. Xenia then turned to her son and glared. "How long were you going to hide your soulmate from us ?" he heard the playful note in his mother's voice and chuckled nervously. "I was going to tell you. One day, maybe ?" he only got his mother to pinch his arm and smile at him. She looked so proud, Xenia was proud but she knew there was something he wasn't telling her, she didn't press on the subject and waited for her wife to come back.

When Magnolia arrived she let Yamiko and Ikaku in first and asked her wife to come out. They left the three friends together around ten minutes together before calling the siblings out. Seika was left alone for a few seconds before the door opened again, there stood (M/n), his (e/c) eyes full with tears. None of them said anything, they stayed silent for a while before Seika opened his arms waiting for his soulmate to hug him. It took a little longer for (M/n) to finally move but he did hug Seika, tears slowly falling down when he pulled away and looked straight into Seika's eyes. Maybe it was because the moment felt right or maybe it was because (M/n) was relieved his soulmate was okay he didn't know which it was but he soon felt lips against his own.
