Notes: This is set in my soulmate universe. One flavor of such, anyway.
Summary: Three people. Three different times to cross paths with one another. Three moments when their clocks stop.
Ryou didn't trust his two soulmate counters. If they'd led him to Yuusuke and Fubuki, it might have been different. They were his friends. He wouldn't have objected to spending his life romantically with either one of them. But the counters didn't so much as twitch when he crossed paths with either of them.
Neither gave a twitch until the night he dueled Edo Phoenix, and as his life points drained away to zero, he looked up in time to see the counter on his right arm run down to zero as well.
He didn't move. Edo looked from his own counter to Ryou's, then turned away, clearly as uncaring as Ryou himself.
He and Edo Phoenix: soulmates. Impossible.
But who would be their third?
Notes: I'm pretty sure you can tell, since I kind of told you already. But Ryou has no idea Saiou even exists, let alone could be theit third. And Edo... we get his reaction and a bit of information next drabble.
