------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Black and white were the colours that everyone saw. People were only able to see the bright, welcoming shades that adorned the earth when the universe had decided who their soulmate would be. Some people thought the idea was ridiculous, that nobody ever actually saw colour. some dedicated their lives to finding their soulmate and finally seeing the world in all its glory. Free de la Hoya was one that dwelled within the sad, closed-minded walls of the ones who didn't believe that soulmates were real.

You on the other hand, you believed with everything in you that you would one day get to see the world in colour. You hoped beyond anything that the sky would be that brilliant blue your parents always described it as. Perhaps the grass truly was green, and the flowers a beautiful array of different colours and shades. You wanted to see it all for yourself. It was beginning to get quite dull, living in nothing but black and white.

You were one of Free's best friends, though he'd never name you as such. you were still "weirdo," but you just so happened to be his favourite weirdo. That didn't mean he was exactly nice to you, per se. But of course, that never stopped you from knocking on his door at 12 am to complain about your inability to sleep.

The first time it happened, he was annoyed. But then you slowly wore him down as you did it more and more. tonight though, he didn't look or sound annoyed in the slightest when he opened the door. He stepped aside and welcomed you in. The lights and textbooks hinted to you that he was not, in fact, asleep.

You went and sat on his bed as he went back to  to finish whatever it was that he was doing. Neither of you said a word to the other, you just sat in a comfortable silence. You had laid back on his bed to play on your phone when you heard a groan from beside you.

"Dammit, I can't figure this out."

You looked at him and frowned, getting up to go look over his shoulder at the work he was doing. Free was smart, but out of the two of you, academics was your thing. You grinned excitedly as you told him you could help. You leaned into his back slightly to point at the part he was having issues with in an effort to explain to him how it was done.

The close proximity was making his heart beat faster. He felt nervous, but he didn't understand why. he focused strictly on his goal to remain the number one blader, not on feelings or girls. Or both. the order varying, depending on the feeling— and the girl.

Your warm breath tickled his neck. He leaned back ever so slightly, As if to somehow get closer to you. He tried to focus on your explanation, but the overwhelming urge to just relish in your soft, loving touch was too much of a distraction.

"You get it now?" you asked him, standing up straight.

"W-wha—? um, yeah. thanks." he inhaled sharply and quickly started working again, though he hadn't heard a word you'd said.

"Free? are you feeling okay?"

And that's when it happened. His first name fell from your lips, and there was a flash. He saw the blue ink on his paper, and the beige colour of his walls, and the soft h/c of your hair. He looked at you, words not knowing how to make their way to his tongue as he stared into your e/c eyes. The look on your face told him that the same thing had just happened to you as well.

"You're my soulmate," you whispered softly to him, stumbling backwards onto the bed. He never believed in this soulmate bullshit, but here he was. Your eyes watered, partly because your dream had come true and then partly because your best friend, Free de la Hoya, was your soulmate.

"Yeah." his response was quiet and breathy.

"Are— are you okay with that?"

"... Yeah."

Your faces were bright red and the once comfortable silence had become awkward and tense. Both of your hearts were beating so fast, you couldn't tell if it was yours or his that you heard.

"Let me kiss you." though his words sounded more demanding than asking, you knew that it was his way of making sure you were okay with it.

You nodded, playing with your hands as you waited for his lips to meet yours. Your face flushed when you felt one hand grip your thigh as the other held the back of your neck, holding you in place as Free's lips met yours. You reacted immediately, moving your lips against his gently. electricity coursed through your veins as the two of you kissed. His teeth bit down on your bottom lip, causing you to gasp softly.

He pulled away from you and smirked.

"Did you like that or something?"

Your hands shot to your face to cover the growing blush, making Free chuckle.

"Free, could I sleep in here with you tonight?"

Now it was his turn to blush, though he definitely played it off better than you did.

"Yeah, sure."

You grinned at him and turned off his lights before crawling into his bed.

"I haven't finished my work, y/n,"

"Hush, love. come rest."

He stood there for a moment longer before getting into bed next to you, wrapping his arms firmly around your waist and pulling you closer to him.

"I'm glad you're my soulmate." he muttered to you quietly, his voice barely audible.

"What was that? I don't think i quite heard you. You may need to repeat that."

"shut it, weirdo. go to sleep."

You giggled as you cuddled into him, completely content with the decision you made to come see him tonight. Truth be told, you couldn't imagine anyone else being your soulmate.
