Author's note: I couldn't be bothered to write another chapter of Finding Daybreak or Without You right now (although I'll write more tonight) so I've started something new. With this, I'm going to write about each of the soulmate couples. One on each chapter, but I'm not using any names, and they're not going to be in order, some of this will be mushy and some of it might be a little tragedy – might. Haven't figured it out yet.

THERE ARE CLUES IN ALL OF THESE ABOUT WHO THEY ARE, ONCE THEY'RE ALL GUESSED, I'LL EXPLAIN THEM LOL.

Number 1/9. This one might seem obvious, but it isn't quite so :D still, it is pretty obvious.

Everything was different now that he had her, now that he could see the world for what it really was. As though he had been confined to such a small space for so long, and now he was really getting out into the real world once again. Everything he touched, everything he saw – no matter how many times he'd done so in the past – all had new meaning to him now. He wasn't living his sad life with no hope left for the future, overtaken by greed, he was experiencing new things. With her.

He wondered if she felt the joy that he did. Of course, she hadn't been waiting such as long a time as he had, for someone to love her. She'd had that small comfort always, he hadn't. he had doubted they could ever be, and now that they were sitting in one another's arms, it was magical, almost too much so. He half imagined that he would awake in his room, soaked in sweat, realising it was all a sweet dream. The kind he'd had for a long time, so long…since…

"Don't think that," she said now, raking a hand through his hair – not gently, more as though she too wanted to know he was real – he stared at her. How could she do that? Always know what he was thinking, even when he wasn't projecting and they weren't sharing blood? He held her closer and the answer cackled between them in sparks.

Soulmates.

It was a jolt to him every time he thought it. Leaning down, he kissed her, he only meant it to be a light fleeting kiss, he knew she still wasn't feeling well, but she grabbed him fiercely at the back of the neck and pulled his face down to meet hers, again and again.

He loved the way they fitted together perfectly, how strange it was that he'd never noticed it before, he loved the contrast between them, but most of all he just loved her: beautiful her, ferocious, strong, kind. She'd grown up.

Over by the house, a blonde girl hopped down the stairs to meet them, feeling bad about interrupting but doing so anything, "we're having a meeting, you too, come inside?" they kept kissing, "coming? Can either of you even hear me?"

Can you hear her? He asked his soulmate.

She shook her head softly, causing him to miss her mouth and kiss her chin. That was okay, anything was okay, as long as she was in her arms, hear who? She asked. The girl seemed to give up and go back to the house.

As far as both of them were concerned, tanks could burst through the mansion and they'd still be kissing. The apocalypse could come and go, the world be destroyed, and they'd still be sitting there, wrapped in each other's embrace. It didn't matter, they were not only soulmates, they were in love; he'd loved her forever, and finally, she'd realised it too – and that was worth more than anything. No one could break their bond, not after everything they'd had to go through to be together, and alive...

At the steps, the arm of a blonde haired guy stopped the girl, she looked over at him and smiled gently, "are they coming?" he asked.

"I think they have better things to do," she answered, touching his arm and dragging him back to the mansion. Over her shoulder, she looked at the couple. They made no signs of realising anyone yet existed. She made a mental note not to let anyone else come after the two.
