Bubble's P.O.V

The tall, blonde haired, boy ran so fast I couldn't see what we were passing. He had kept me pressed against his, very muscular, chest as he ran. Then he sat me down gently onto a bed, which is where I am now.

"Um. . ." I look up at him. "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I'm only 17. . .I'm not really old enough to get married."

He raises an eyebrow. "I'm 18. . and I was to understand that some humans get married as young as 14."

I smile nervously. "Yes, but you see, I'm not pregnant. . . And I hardly know you. . .And I couldn't possibly marry someone unless I was in love with him. . .And-" But he cuts me off before I can voice any other complaints.

"You will though." He says, getting onto his knees and grabbing my hands, looking into my eyes. "You will fall in love with me. That's the thing about getting your soul mate, you are perfect for me Bubbles. We were MADE for each other. Can I tell you a story?"

I nod, wondering what kind of story he could possibly be telling me, something to do with the demons, or soul mates, maybe?

He climbs onto the bed and leans up against the headboard, pulling my head onto his chest, then reaching down slowly to lift the blanket over our legs. It's a bit of an awkward position, but he smells REALLY good, so I'll let it slip for now.

"Okay." He starts, looking down at me and smiling. "All creatures originally had four arms, four legs, and a single head made of two faces. There were three genders: man, woman and the "Androgynous". Each with two sets of genitalia, with the Androgynous having both male and female genitalia. The Males were called children of the sun, the women were children of the earth, and the Androgynous were children of the moon because it was born of the sun and earth. It is said that all of the creatures had great strength at the time and threatened to conquer the gods. The gods were then faced with the prospect of destroying the humans with lightning as they had done with the Titans but then they would lose the tributes given to the gods by humans. Zeus developed a creative solution by splitting humans in half as punishment for creature's pride and doubling the number of creatures who would give tribute to the gods. These split creatures were in utter misery to the point where they would not eat and would perish, so Apollo had sewn them up and reconstituted their bodies with the navel being the only remnant harkening back to their original form. Each creature would then only have one set of genitalia and would forever long for his/her other half; the other half of his/her soul. It is said that when the two find each other, there is an unspoken understanding of one another, that they feel unified and would lay with each other in unity and would know no greater joy than that. But because the number of creatures had doubled, the earth had run out of room for the creatures to live upon, so Zeus opened a hole in the earth, splitting some of the creatures into it. The called the creatures above the ground humans, that's you, and the ones underground were Demontiers, later shortened by humans to demons. Some of the humans and demontiers grew old and died in misery, because they had no way of finding their other half, so the gods created the divine book, with the names of each human or demontier's soul-mate. The book was fought over, because both the humans and demontiers wanted it, we eventually won and it soon became a birth right that at the age of 18 your name is found in the divine book and you are given your soul mate. You, Bubbles, are mine. I will never let anything hurt you, I will watch and love you forever. You are my other half, we are a part of each other. Please, just give me a chance. I promise you, it won't be as bad as you think. You'll become a princess, my princess, and eventually my queen." He stops and kisses the top of my head. "Good night now, we have a big day tomorrow. I'm going to show you around the palace."

I close my eyes, a light smile on my lips. "Good night. . .Wait!" I say, turning to him. "You never told me your name."

He smiles and runs his fingers gently through my hair. "My name is Boomer. Boomer Damien Jojo."

I smile and turn back around, closing my eyes. He has a beautiful name. And that story was so pretty. . .I've never felt so wanted before, it's nice. . . I'm usually on the giving side of the relationship, and I can tell that he meant everything he said. I still won't marry him unless, or until, I fall in love with him. Though it may be easier than I had thought at first.

I probably shouldn't tell Buttercup or Blossom, but I'm kind of looking forward to having Boomer show me around. It might be fun.

(A-N) I spent so much time on this, and I really liked writing it because I needed to take my mind off of my day. I went out with my grandma and her sisters and it was horrible and I went to the bathroom and cried for no reason and I vomited and I just really like because it lets me have a creative outlet and I'm going to go now goodbye
