Akira
you had always blossomed later than others.
It wasn't unusual to receive your soulmate mark after everyone else. But for you, why was everything delayed?
This invariably led to feelings of isolation. As peers found their destined partners at 18, you's wrist remained unmarked.
On his eighteenth birthday, just minutes in, Akira's skin bore his soulmate mark. you witnessed it happen. They had been inseparable since toddlerhood.
Yet, Akira didn't find his destined one immediately. It took years, a fact that gave you a sense of companionship. However, at the age of twenty-one, when you's own mark finally appeared, they understood Akira's delay.
The revelation was clear: you, a man and his closest friend, was Akira's soulmate. This was a possibility Akira never expressed a desire for.
Akira had always dreamed of a female soulmate, someone to experience a storybook romance with. He never considered this reality, and you found it impossible to disclose their shared destiny.
A week had passed since the soulmate mark had manifested on you, yet they remained silent about it, especially around Akira.
There sat Akira, directly opposite you, engrossed in his academic paper, none the wiser.
