Yes I believe in platonic soulmates.
Enjoy!
They say that soulmates are always romantic and they have to be together. It was obviously wrong.
People could recognize themselves through soul marks which represented a soulmate in the world and faded away when the person died. Usually a person had one, or two. Rare were the people who didn't but it was possible, yet a person with more than two marks was so rare that it was almost a legend.
Yet Katsuki Yuuri was a young man with more than two soul marks.
His parents were very surprised when they saw 3 fresh marks on the infant's skin. A pink ribbon on the ankle, a brown lily flower on the back of the neck, and most surprisingly a blue and purple snowflake above the heart.
The Katsukis had noticed that a soul mark appeared on the back of Mari's neck, linking her directly to her little brother. She had vowed to protect him at all costs.
When Yuuri was one year old, Okukawa Minako moved to Hasetsu to open a dance studio, reuniting with her friend Hiroko. The former dancer was immediately drawn to the toddler, seeing him almost as her son. Yuuri had found his second soul mate.
Yuuri was three years old when a new mark appeared this time on his right wrist. It looked like a little green hamster. 20 years later, Yuuri met his third soul mate, Phichit Chulanont. Strangely, Yuuri hadn't felt much when he met Phichit. Well, he had felt great affection, but the same affection he had for Mari.
He still hadn't met the person with the purple and blue soul mark above his heart.
At eight years old, Yuuri felt a small burn on his right wrist. The Japanese saw a yellow feather appear. The young boy felt a tenderness and affection towards the person who bore the mark. Over the following years, Yuuri felt this mark pulsing several times as if the person was anxious and needed reassurance. The Japanese had grown in the habit of kissing the soul mark, soothing his soulmate.
Fifteen years later, Yuuri met Yuri Plisetsky for the first time. Although the meeting of the two Yuris went badly, the year after it was easy to see Yurio hugging the Japanese man, the latter calming him down, reassuring him after a hard day of training.
Yuuri was anxious when he saw Viktor Nikiforov. The latter had arrived without warning and he had seen his mark.
Yuuri was afraid.
Viktor Nikiforov was his soulmate.
He had seen the purple and blue snowflake on his chest.
Yuuri was feeling anxious and that he didn't deserve to be a Russian soul mate.
As if he knew how Yuuri was feeling, Viktor had hugged him. The two men had felt an indescribable emotion, as if they had found their other half. Yuuri had felt his anxiety subside; felt calmer and relaxed in the Russian's arms.
5 years later, Yuuri stood at the altar with Viktor, his other soulmates by his side.
Yuuri was the first to have 5 soulmates but also was the first who managed to gather all of his soulmates by his side.
