A/N: Hello everyone, and welcome to my attempt at a soulmate/human au fic. I honestly saw one and started thinking about it and now I want to write a couple that are pretty short. Like maybe a couple chapters or something each, like ten or less. So I apologize if they seem ooc or if this seems bad. (I'd hope not.) I'm not quite sure how I feel personally about soulmate fics, but the concept seems cool. This is certainly one of those fics for those with a sweet tooth, but don't worry, I'm going to have another fic starting soon that will be for those who like the dark side. (I mean come on, there's cookies over there!) :3 ~Hetaliancupcake
Awestruck
Gilbert rolled out of bed early on a Saturday morning. Other than his concert later tonight, he didn't really have any plans today, and it seemed his brother Ludwig planned on sleeping in some more. Gilbert got up and moseyed over to the bathroom as quiet as possible. He took a shower and got dressed, freshening up to start his day. He looked at himself in the mirror closely, running his hands over his pale skin. Most people were weirded out by the fact he was albino, but luckily some people could get past it. His abnormal red eyes glowed in the dimly lit bathroom. Those were pretty startling too. He decided he would go to his usual little coffee shop and let the day wisk him away. He left a note for ludwig on the kitchen counter as he left saying he'd be back by suppertime. He got into his car and he was off, thoughts of delicious maple coffee flooding his mind.
When he arrived at the building for his usual cafe it was bustling with so many people. Too many people. Don't get it wrong, he loved that the cafe had been getting good attention lately, but he missed those times of empty quiet morning coffee. He got back in his car and sighed. He really wanted his nice quiet morning coffee today. Last week's gig had tired him out. He set his GPS for a cafe not too far from there, and headed there for his coffee. Walking in he was greeted with a cute and friendly cashier. The blonde man, apparently named Matthew, looked up at him and gave a big smile. Gilbert was shocked at how calm he was about his looks, and not to mention the fact he even lit up when he saw him. The man spoke in a low and soft voice.
"Hello, sir! I haven't seen you in here before, how may I help you today?" Gilbert liked his smile. It made him feel all warm and fuzzy. A pleasant feeling he felt less and less often anymore. Gilbert's eyes glazed over the menu and then came back down to Matthew. Particularly, his hand. Gilbert was curious what his tattoo was of, which was hidden underneath his long sleeved, white, button down shirt. It was probably inappropriate being what they meant, but that didn't stop him from being curious. The majority of the time he barely bothered to look at his own, which was probably moronic on his part. He liked it though. His was of a prussian flag, two black stripes and one white one in the middle, (which was cool since he was prussian... or at least thought he was.) And a crisp red maple leaf on it, next to the black eagle of the prussian flag. It looked really awesome the way it was shaded and everything.
"Umm, do you have awesome maple coffee? If so, can I have that with double sugar and cream." Gilbert requested, hoping it would meet the same standards as his usual cafe's quality. The blonde's eyes widened and his smile grew as well.
"Of course. It's so funny, that's how I take my coffee too! Let me just ring that up for you... okay, your total is 5.00$, and can I have your name to write on the cup?" Gilbert told Matthew his name and watched him scribble it in marker onto the to-go cup. His sleeve fell down his arm but not enough to give Gilbert a glimpse of his tattoo. He handed him the cash and watched as he made his coffee. Matthew made a cute determined face as he made the coffee. Gilbert wouldn't normally describe a guy as cute, especially someone who was just making coffee for him, but Matthew just was. He couldn't really point it out even to himself. Matthew eventually made his way back over to the counter and handed Gilbert his drink. "Enjoy! Have a good day Gilbert, I hope to see you back here!" Matthew said with a huge smile as he waved goodbye. Now he would probably just go walk around the park, and window shop for a couple hours. He needed to give his brother a present for his upcoming birthday. Best to get something while he still had the money for it. The entire time his thoughts drifted to Matthew.
It was really strange, but he just couldnt stop it. There was something about him. An feeling of intuition that could be positive or negative about him. He couldn't tell. It didnt make it any easier to shop, that was for sure. He eventually settled on a nice set of fancy alcohol glasses for his brothers bar set. He realized it was getting closer to dark, and he should head home to hide the gift and get ready for his concert. He would probably forget all about Matthew after a while, after all he just had served him coffee.
