AN: Just as the summary says! I don't have a schedule on how often I'll update, but I'll try to do it often! Cheers!

Mitchell Hughes lived a fairly simple life. He woke up, ate breakfast, had fun with friends, and killed people every day for money. Simple enough.

After a particularly exhausting day playing Hunger Games, all he wanted to do was rest. So Mitch took a warm bath, changed into his pajamas, and fell asleep quickly.

By the next morning, he didn't expect to wake up in a tree.

He certainly didn't expect to smell like parmesan.

And he definitely didn't expect to have fur.

Mitch yawned and rolled out of bed, smacking his lips together as he stumbled to his door. "Sheesh, I should sleep more often–"

The figure in the mirror wasn't him. Dark, chocolate eyes stared back, fluffy fur sticking up everywhere. Axes were strung up on the wall and Mitch was wearing a black suit with a red tie.

"WHAT IN THE WORLD–"

Mitch racked his brain for an answer before he flipped and passed out. What could've caused this? There wasn't any magic nearby, no one had a grudge on him…

Oh.

The Soulmate Theory.

Mitch groaned and sat down hard, letting out a huge sigh. On a random occasion, the world would cause two soulmates to switch bodies and have them freak out before they found each other.

The boy got to his feet, glancing at the wall of axes. "Well, if I don't find my soulmate, I guess I'll just go play some games."

He grabbed a glowing blue axe and strapped it to his back, proceeding to walk out of the giant tree house and head off to the Battle Arena.

People didn't look at him strangely. Mitch was still really freaked out by not having his body back, so he set up a light jog and rushed to the Arena.

Someone slammed into him and knocked both of them to the ground. Mitch gasped and looked up, shocked to see the face of someone familiar.

"Adam?"

The Butter King looked terrified. "W-What? Who are you?! What's going on!?"

Mitch blinked before a huge smile spread across his face. (And well aware that his sharp teeth were showing.) "Ty, calm down. It's the Soulmate thing going on. Swapping bodies? Ring a bell?"

Adam–Ty, technically–let out a huge breath. "Oh. And I'm going to assume you're a friend of mine…not Seto, he already switched with Brice…so did Bashur and Bodil…you don't seem like Quentin or Ian…Mitch?"

"Hiya, Ty!"

Ty grinned. "This is kind of an off day for me. I had no clue who you were because I thought I saw you walking earlier; I called out trying to get your attention and you just jumped and ran away."

"That would be my soulmate." Mitch nodded. "Any idea?"

"Nope, but he's headed to the Arena." Ty nodded. "Have fun, and good luck!"

Mitch gave Ty a hug and rushed on over, frantically looking for a red and black checkered jacket. "C'mon, give me a clue here…" Mitch muttered, unsheathing the axe and staring at it.

Betty the Axe.

Property of Jerome Aceti.

A huge grin appeared on Mitch's face and he shouted, "JEROME! JEROME, C'MON BIGGUMS! WHERE YOU AT?"

The players around him gave Mitch weird glances, but he was determined to find Jerome.

There was a sound in the distance, like someone yelling…

Wait–

Could it be–?

"MITCH? MITCHELL HUGHES?"

"JEROME!" Mitch yelled, barreling his way through the crowd. A boy stared at him in shock, a red and black hoodie on top of his light gray t-shirt.

The golden dog tag gleamed brightly and Mitch's usual spiky brown hair was everywhere, and his light brown coffee eyes were wide.

The two couldn't look away. It was…weird, to say the least. It was like staring in a mirror but your soulmate was in your body and basically had a glimpse into your own life.

Suddenly, Jerome was moving towards Mitch and their bodies collided into a hug and Mitch found himself in tears. "Wow, I'm glad Ashley stiches my name on the tag of my hoodies. I'll have to thank her later." He giggled, burying his face into Jerome's shoulder.

"My friend Mat burns my name into my axes." Jerome laughed, grasping onto Mitch. "Wow, okay. It's really nice to meet you, Mitchell Hughes. It's great to know I've got a soulmate out there in the world and I'm literally holding you in my arms."

"It's nice to meet you too Jerome Aceti." Mitch mumbled, instead choosing to press a kiss to his cheek. "Never doing that again, it was like kissing myself in the mirror."

Jerome's laugh made Mitch smile. "Would you like to go on a date?"

"Nah, we can just jump to getting married tomorrow." Mitch rolled his eyes. "We technically are destined to be together, so of course."

The Bacca was quiet. "Wanna go chop people in the Hunger Games?"

"I think you're going to be the best soulmate ever." Mitch grinned, and they linked hands and walked off into their forever.
