HELLOOOOOO! :D I am back with a brand new story!
Sorry it took me so long to publish this one, but I gave it a lot of thought on what I should write next. So here's my new fanfic!
Hope you enjoy it! I own nothing but the plot and any OC I may create.
He was not used to it. Waking up after one of those dreams. Dreams of endless blue and deep black. Dreams of shy smiles and crimson red cheeks. He was not used to waking up after such a pleasant dream and then feel the cold side of his bed. The empty space that was left in his heart as soon as he opened his eyes.
The truth is that no one ever told him it would be like that. When the two letters appeared on his wrist at the age of 16 he already knew what it meant. People talked about it all the time. In high school as soon as someone got their mark it was broadcasted everywhere. Everyone knew who had a mark and who didn't, everyone talked about those who got the mark and those who didn't. It wasn't common not to get a mark, but it was not impossible.
Soulmates….the word sounded so strong, so definite, and so scary. Magnus had been thrilled to find the two small, but significant, letters tattooed on his wrist when he turned 16 years old. He had a soulmate. Someone who was meant for him. Someone who would love him and accept him no matter what. That thrill soon started to turn into panic and a little bit of hesitation as the years went by.
Soulmates did not mean eternal love. His parents had the soul mark and yet they ended up destroying each other. He knew of people who didn't care about their soul mark, who went to bars and slept with whoever was willing. People who met their soulmate and they ended up hating each other. Magnus was not an easy person. He had too many demons chasing him, he had too much baggage on his back. His past was not the best and he struggled to keep it all behind him. So to think that someone could accept him with all his faults? How could someone love him completely after knowing everything about him?
"Magnus Bane!" came Catarina's voice from outside his room "If you are not ready in the next 5 seconds I will personally drag you out!"
"Coming!" Magnus called back, checking his make-up one last time in the mirror before walking out of the room.
"You took forever!" Catarina sighed when she finally noticed Magnus walking out of his room.
"It wasn't that long, Cat dear" Magnus rolled his eyes, taking his wallet from the coffee table on the living room.
"It actually was" Ragnor Fell commented from where he was lying down on the sofa.
"Are we all ready?" Magnus rolled his eyes, ignoring his best friend.
"We are" Catarina nodded.
"Brilliant! let's go!"
Magnus grinned at his two friends and walked out of the apartment he shared with Ragnor. Ragnor followed him. Taking Catarina's hand in his own, the couple followed after their best friend.
Magnus Bane. Fashion student and part-time worked at a salon near campus. He designed clothes as a hobby and styled the hair of people as a profession. Being on his last year of college, he was looking forward to extend his horizon by working professionally as a fashion designer, but for now being a stylist was enough.
He shared an apartment with his best friend, Ragnor Fell, who was a photographer. He was getting an art degree in college, but he was more interested in photography. Ragnor and Magnus had been friends since kindergarden, growing up together they were as close as friends.
Ragnor's girlfriend, Catarina Loss, had joined their little group back in Sophomore year in high school. When she moved into town with her family she met Ragnor, and the two of them found out they were actually soulmates. It took a year for them to actually start dating, and they had been together ever since. Catarina was a clever girl. Brilliant in science and math. She kept both boys grounded and was the voice of reason in their little group. Catarina had wormed her way inside both of their lives. Magnus cared deeply for her, seeing her almost as a sister. Catarina was studying to be a medic and she was doing her practice in a local hospital.
So their little group was odd, but it was alright for them. They were comfortable with each other. They joked and laughed and cried and argued with each other. They only had each other, and somehow that was enough.
"Where exactly are we going?" Ragnor asked
"Ice-cream parlor on 6th street" Magnus asked.
"How specific" Catarina grinned "Anyone special over there?"
"I hope" Magnus sighed as a taxi pulled over and the three of them climbed inside.
Catarina was sitting between the two men. Magnus gave the driver the address and off they went towards their destiny.
"Who will be there?" Ragnor frowned.
"I don't know" Magnus shook his head "I had this dream….I have to be there at exactly 2:15"
"Magnus?" Catarina asked softly "What's going on?"
"Just….trust me"
They dropped the subject and started talking about other trivial things. Ragnor had a photoshoot coming soon. Some students had asked him to help them for a project they had. Magnus agreed to help him with styling the hair and doing their make-up.
The taxi pulled over and the three of them climbed off. Magnus paid the cabbie and together they made their way down the street towards the ice-cream parlor. Magnus was kinda nervous as they reached their destination. Looking down at his watch he saw the time read 2:15pm. Magnus looked up just in time to bump shoulders with someone else who was walking out of the shop.
"Sorry" The man grunted, but didn't look up.
Magnus paid him no mind. Neither did he noticed the two other people who followed that man. He was too focused on just getting inside the shop and find him.
However, as soon as they walked inside the shop, it was completely empty. Just the girl behind the counter greeted them cheerfully. Magnus looked around the place, his eyes searching every corner. Maybe he had missed him. Maybe he was here and Magnus had not noticed him. However the small shop was empty.
"You okay Mags?" Ragnor asked from the counter as he ordered his ice-cream and Catarina's.
"Yeah….fine" Magnus said, distracted.
He didn't understand. He had seen it. His dream had been very specific. At exactly 2:15pm at this shop. He was unable to see who the other man was, but he knew it would be his soulmate. It was just a feeling he got. He just knew it. However, it seemed he had been wrong. The shop was empty and now it was 2:17pm and no sight of anyone else showing.
With a sigh, Magnus made his way towards the counter and ordered his own ice-cream. The trio took one of the small tables in the shop and enjoyed their ice-cream. Magnus kept looking out the window and towards the front door. Maybe he was just late. Maybe he would come in later.
"Magnus?" Catarina asked, breaking Magnus from his thoughts.
"Yeah?" Magnus asked
"Are you alright?" She asked a bit worried.
"I…guess" Magnus sighed "I just thought he would be here"
"Who? Your soulmate?" Ragnor asked
"I saw it in my dreams" Magnus said "It was this exact place at the exact time…I thought he would be here"
Catarina and Ragnor shared a look. They both knew how desperate Magnus was of finding his soulmate. He had been searching for so long. He longed to find that someone, and both of them could see how every day the hope dimmed from his eyes.
"You'll find him" Catarina smiled sweetly "Whenever the time comes"
"I suppose" Magnus shrugged and then stood up, placing a grin on his face "Oh well…who wants to go shopping?"
So...what do you think? I've been reading a lot of soulmate AUs lately and thought I would give it a try hehe! Lemme know what you think of it with your reviews! Also, favorite and follow!
Now...many of you asked me for a sequel for Wingless Angel. Which I have thought about, honestly. But I remember that when I finished Prestigious some of you asked for a sequel of that one. So I opened a poll in my profile. Please go vote for the story you would like to see a sequel and I will try to work on it at the same time I am working on this one.
I am also working on my own sequel to The Jinx Life, which will not be connected to any stories made by PhantomxK. However, I doubt I will be publishing that one for a long time now...still thinking about the plot and making it up, so yeah haha! Dont want to overwhelm myself.
So please! Go vote to my profile and tell me what you think of my new story!
Cheers!
