“No matter how much I wish my fucking handwriting were marked on your skin. I’m not the one.” Four words, and Henry heard the dull impact before he even understood the blow. Like missing a step on the stairs, like a door slamming shut right in front of him. Alex’s eyes didn’t meet his immediately. They darted away, restless, like a trapped bird in a house full of closed windows. But that “no” was there, etched into every line of his face, twisting something in Henry’s stomach. “You said it yourself… you said it doesn’t matter. That no one really knows where these marks come from or what they mean, right? I… I don’t give a damn if it never appears, Alex. I love you. Isn’t that enough?” For a fraction of a second — so brief it would’ve gone unnoticed if Henry weren’t watching so closely, if he weren’t literally holding Alex’s arms — Alex hesitated. It passed so quickly it wouldn’t leave a mark, except Henry saw it. Felt it. “But what happens in a year? Or two? When you wake up and realize you want something else? That you want the whole package?” --- In a future where soulmates are real, Alex and Henry are polar opposites. Until fate happens.
