Idea: Soulmate AU where if you write words on your skin, they appear in the exact same place on your aoulmate's.
Anubis stared down at his forearm, skin clearly visible as his jacket rose up.
His skin was pale, but not so much that it looked sickly. Sometimes, it was painted with words, or symbols for that matter. He would take a brush, dip the tip in dark paint and trail in over his skin, leaving prominent lines on his flesh.
When he'd first learned that he had a soulmate, he was confused. Isis had explained and told him that if you wrote on your skin, it would be appear in the exact same place on your soulmate's skin.
At first, he drew on his skin everyday, hoping desperately that words written by another would appear afterwards. But it never happened. No matter how much he wrote, how hard he wrote, his soulmate was silent.
He'd felt heartbroken.
Isis told him that his soulmate probably hadn't been born yet.
That gave Anubis some hope, and he felt a bit relieved.
However, thousand years passed, and no words appeared.
Another thousand years. Nothing.
Another thousand, and another, and another. Nothing.
After five thousand years, his soulmate had not been born yet.
He'd stopped completely. No more scribbled words or symbols on his skin. No hoping. No nothing. Just living, but not really feeling alive.
He was still staring.
Reluctantly, he picked up a paintbrush and applied some black paint.
He slowly brought the tip to his skin and dragged it along the flesh, writing three words.
'Are you there?'
He waited for a few seconds, his eyebrows drawn together.
Nothing.
He couldn't say he was surprised, he wasn't hoping for anything.
He brought forth a piece of cloth, wet it and scrubbed the words off his arm, the cotton turning dark.
Anubis sighed. At moments like these, he felt like there was no one other than him in the world. He felt completely alone.
He rubbed a hand over his face and started pulling the sleeve of his jacket down.
He'd only moved it an inch or so when he stopped.
words had appeared on his skin.
Actual words.
In reality, it was just one.
'Yes.'
