Everyone has a soul mark linking them to their other half; their soul mate. Some are happy with the reveal, others have to reconsider their options and their relationships. On the morning of Adrien's sixteenth birthday he wakes up expecting to see a soul mark linking him to Kagami, she was certain it would appear, she was certain they were made for each other. However, fate had other plans. Adrien woke with no soul mark meaning his soulmate was yet to turn sixteen, the youngest of the pairing always being the catalyst to the soul mark appearing. As always Adrien doesn't want to disappoint, so as Kagami gains excitement about her own soul mark, he fails to inform her that his own skin is still unmarked. Even Plagg can't convince Adrien his plan is not a good idea, leaving his soul mate alone and, as she believes, unloved. So what happens when he's paired with his soul mate on his final Lycée assignment? Or when there's a fatal shooting at the local mall, and one of his close friends becomes injured? Will identities be hero identities be revealed? But more importantly how will Adrien get out of the mess he created by not telling the truth? ** Soul Mark AU ** Inspired by One Tree Hill Episode - With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept Characters all owned by Thomas Astruc and Zagtoons.
