They say everyone has a soulmate; a better half. People say that when you know, you know. Which would be true given that when people are born, they are born with marks that indentify their soulmates. And then it is up to the individual to find their soulmate on their walk of life.
Usually it happen in the late teen years and early adult years, but sometimes it happened later in life. But when it did, you would know. You would know when you found your soulmate by two indicators.
One, their mark would match yours perfectly. Down to every mark and line, they would be identical. And two, there would be a binding of sorts. It was like a chain that connected one soul to another, hopefully never to be broken.
Now if this were true, and it was, then you had tried to do everything right. You tried to be patient and wait for your soulmate, but you were never great at being patient. You looked and waited all throughout high school, being hopeful you found your one. And when it didn't happen in high school, you were hopeful for college.
But when it didn't happen in your first semester, and you really were terribly at waiting, you started to get discouraged. You cursed at the universe, more than once, for making you wait when you had the patience of a 3 year old. You wanted your soulmate and you wanted them yesterday.
It didn't help that a lot of women in your dorm, your roommate included, had met their soulmate. They'd already been with them for months and you had barely felt a twitch.
"It's irritating and unfair. It's stupid, really. I mean, I've been patient. Sort of. Well not really. But how long can I be expected to wait?" You paced in front of your assigned library desk. One of your college classmates, Bilbo, sat at his own desk, his head in a book. He turned his eyes towards you once and then turned away.
"It doesn't happen when you want it to. And besides you're hardly 24. You have loads of time to find yours. I haven't found mine either, you know." You looked st the curly haired, brown eyed man and sighed.
"It's too bad you're not my soulmate. We'd make such a good pair don't you think?" You sat in front of him and bat your eyelashes. Bilbo looked up at you, disdainfully.
"If only you had no breasts, were taller and had a dick, then yes, we'd be perfect." Of course, Bilbo wasn't interested in women.
"Don't you grow impatient? Don't you just want to meet your soulmate and be done with it?" You heard a sigh from his mouth and then the sound of a book closing.
"Yes I would love to meet my soulmate, but it takes time. And you need to be patient. It will..." You cut him off.
"...happen when it happens. Yes I know. But I'm impatient! You know what it's like to be having sex and not be completely satisfied because you know that the one person that can really please you, isntnin your life yet?" It was a stupid question. Of course Bilbo knew.
"I'd rather take bad sex though, over no sex." Bilbo rolled his eyes in your direction and then stood and took his books.
"New semester, new teachers. Maybe one of our teachers will be our soulmate." You frowned and then it your lip.
"That'd be kind of hot, don't you think? I mean having a teacher and them taking you on their desk?" You bit your lip as your mind wandered to a kinky place.
"Any sex with your soulmate would be good, whoever they are. It's supposed to be mindbkowing." You didn't miss the way Bilbo's cheeks flushed as he talked about being intimate.
He was a shy little guy that usually kept to himself and tried to stay out of trouble. He wanted to keep his nose clean and finish his education. He was studying to get his bachelor of education, as he had mentioned many times to you, he wanted to teach children.
"Well I could use some mind blowing sex." You stopped walking as you reached the doors of library. You would be heading back to your dorm and Bilbo would be heading to his new chemistry class.
"I heard the teacher is sexy. Got dimples and a real nice, accent. Plus he's an easy going guy. Likes to joke around." Bilbo rolled his eyes and shifted his textbooks in his arms.
"Everyone's a comedian." You didn't understand why he was taking chemistry in the first place. You didn't think he needed it to complete his bachelor's degree, and as far as you knew, he wasn't planning on teaching chemistry.
"I'll see you at our usually spot." Bilbo waved his hand as a goodbye to you, and you parted ways.
You walked across the path towards the dorms, fully intending to go back to your room, when a man caught your eye. You stood rigid in place as you barely caught his movement across the quad.
He was walking towards the languages building, a briefcase in one hand and a coffee in the other. He was talking to a younger man who was walking beside him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The man in question, the one that caught your eyes, made your stomach clench. He was the sexiest man you had ever seen in your life.
"Oh my god..." His dark, black hair stood out against his slightly tanned skin and his blue eyes were bright and focused. He had a strong jaw and powerful arms and hands that you desperately wanted to be touching you.
"Excuse me." You were focused on the man, now turned to face you, but attention still on the blonde before him.
"Excuse me." You blinked and licked your lips. Everything about this man called to you. Everything about him made you want him.
"Move your ass, princess!" You snapped out of your gaze and looked over your shoulder.
"Jesus, sorry. Could've went around." The dark haired man rolled his eyes and brushed past you, headed straight for the sexy stranger. You sighed and forced yourself to turn away.
"Not my soulmate. Though I really wish." You drug your feet as you walked off the quad and towards your building, still focused on the sexy stranger.
"God I wish."
Thought I'd give this a try. Write a few chapters and see how it goes. I might switch the pairing from Bilbo/Bofur to Bilbo/Dwalin but I'm not sure yet. Hope you like it and review!
