Black Hands. [tinxcan]

[1]

Before the chapter start, I want to thanks @/MILKYBOY on Twitter for helping with this fic ❤️

Everybody has a soulmate, everybody has this mark on their body, some have it on their faces, others on their hands, even chest, regardless of the place, everybody has a black mark, a black hand.
This mark represents the place soulmates touch for the first time, the place that initiate love.
Everybody has it, so why Can never saw one on his skin ?
He never knew someone without a mark except his own father, even some of his friends had found the person they are born to find.
Ae had this mark on his shoulder, Pete, his soulmate had his on his arm, the first time they touched each other's skin, it's when Ae fell on Pete on a fateful day.
Tharn and Type were a bit different, because they first time the love rised, Tharn punched Type.
Type have the mark on his hand, while Tharn had his on his face. All thing considered, he's glad it turned into a birth mark.

It took time for Can to accept he didn't have a soulmates, he wasn't much of a lovable person anyway.         

The football practice was usually the place where he could escape these though, but today it seems to be the only thing running in his mind.                   

-I'm f*cking hungry!
-Ai Can, watch your mouth !

The football practice ended and the team was heading back to the locker room. Can who was hungry and tired was complaining about wanting, as usual.

-Ai Can, Pete and I are going to eat at the international college faculty, his friend will join us, you can join us too, my treat.
--Ae, my hero you are !

In the locker room while the boys were preparing to take a shower, everybody's mark were showing as they get undressed. As Can's eyes scanned the room, he got a glimpse at each of them.
Ae's one was still on his shoulder, but it turned into a purplish birth mark, a purplish mark. The same was noted for Type. A purplish point on their bodies that held memories. They had found their soulmates.
The people they are meant to be with.
Techno had a soul mark too, although it wasn't a hand mark like most. It was a kiss, placed  on the neck.
Champ had made a bet with Type that Techno would meet his soulmate when he will be drunk, his soulmates is gonna be Techno's sex friend for a night.
Can looked at Techno's mark bittery.
He was curious at how the dumb person that is Techno could have a soulmate, but not himself.

Techno saw the strange look on his friend face.

-I still haven't found my soulmate either. Just this mark. Technic told me he thought about Kengkla but I don't really believe it. Kengkla and I are barely even friends!

Can didn't reply to this, his attention was now focused on Champ whose soulmark was on his back.
It seemed like every one in the world had their mark but himself.
Can sighed before changing into his usual white button up and sitting on the locker room bench to wait for Ae.

Can had already accepted that he doesn't have a soulmate. He knew he was going to live his life as a lonely soul, but he couldn't help but feeling sad about it.
Can just knew he's gonna be alone, forever.

-Ai Can, let's go.
Ae took Can out of his mind and they both left the locker room.
But Can wasn't in a good mood, and Ae could feel the dismal aura around his usually loudy friend. Can hadn't said anything after they left the locker room, not even to complain about how hungry he was. After a long silence, Can finally spoke.

-Ae...When did you find out Pete was your soulmate ?
--Still thinking about that ? Well I don't know how it will feel for you but when I met Pete, I felt like we were made for each other.
When I'm with him, everything just feel complete. You'll understand it when you'll feel it.
-Did he have the mark ?
--I'm pretty sure he did...You still don't have yours ?
-No... I don't know if I will ever get one.
-Don't let this bother you. Pete says Tin doesn't have his mark either although he doesn't seems to care about it.

Tin.
Can felt something when he heard his name.
Can swore up and down that he hated Tin, but there was something about Tin that was different from everyone else.
Something strong he can't describe.

Can was lost in his mind when the smell of delicious food brought him back to reality.
The IC faculty was very different from the Sport Ccience faculty, it was full of wealthy students so the food was more expensive, and much better.

Pete was waving his hand for them to see him, Tin was sitting next to him. Tin looked at the pair with little emotion, he didn't seems happy to be there at all.
Nothing strange there.

Ae and Can sat in front of Pete and Tin, the two lovers were already in their own world.

-Pete, ren't you tired? You always bring them here.
-Ai Tin, stop...
Tin wanted to let everyone know he wasn't happy that the two "Thai programs" decided to join them today.
Can raised an eyebrow.
Ae stood up.
--I'm going to buy food.
As expected, Pete stoop up as well and followed Ae to get food.

-Pete have such low taste.. His boyfriend is a low class man, short, ugly... Even is friends are...
Tin's word began to trail off as he looked at Can.
-I shouldn't say.
-Shut up!
--Just saying the truth. You Thai program are..disgusting.

Can had already been in a bad mood, and Tin wasn't helping at all. Can stood angrily, aiming to punch the rich man in front of him.
As he raised his fit, Ae rushed into the situation and grabbed Can's arm.
-Why did you stop me? He was talking shit about us!
Ae didn't say anything and gave a plate to Can.
-Eat, you'll feel better.
During the entire meal, Tin and Can didn't speak at all. Tin was mad at Pete for hanging out with dirty Thai Programs, while Can  didn't dare open his mouth, nothing good would come out of it.

-I'm going first. See you tomorrow.
Can left and headed home to find his sister, Lemon, watching some series with their mom.

His mother had her soul mark on her wrist, although she got married, she had never found her missing part, the person who held the mark that matches her seemed to be too far gone. Despite not marrying the one who shared the soul mark, she was able to find love in Lemon and Can's father who didn't have a soul mark on his own.
They knew they weren't soulmates, but their love was just as real.
Lemon had her soul mark too, her thumbs was stained black. Her soulmate was far away, but internet will bring them together.

Can joined his family in watching TV, but his mind was focused on something else completely. That something or someone was none other than.. Tin.
Can diverted his thoughts quickly as abandoned the idea of watching TV and went to his room. There he found himself doing thing he never did, studying.
The whole night, he had his nose in his book and music in his ear, he hadn't realized just how tired he was until he had already fallen alseep at his desk.

-Ai Can!!
Lemon's high pitched rang out next to him, waking him up. Startled from the yelling, Can looked at his sister confused.

-Mom told me to wake you up. She's worried about how you didn't know eat with us yesterday and want you to eat breakfast before leaving.
With that, Lemon left the room allowing Can to process the event that just occurred.

With tired and blurry eyes, Can went to take a shower.
He washed his body and hair and making his way out of the shower to change into his uniform.
He took a look at himself in the mirror and took a cream that he had admittedly taken from his sister's skin care routine, after taking a but to put on his face, Can used his black hands to massage the cream over the entirety of his face.

Wait.
His hands were black.
Can had a black mark.
Can has a soulmate.
