Chapter Text
Piper wondered if her soulmate was tall.
Sure, she dated all kinds of people, and she wouldn’t say that she had a particular type, but she really hoped that her soulmate was taller than her. Maybe dark eyes would be nice, but people who were tall just made Piper feel so safe.
She looked at her arms, covered in things she’d drawn, little goodnight messages, all in her own handwriting. It had almost been a year since her 17th birthday - the day she started communicating with her soulmate through ink, but they hadn’t replied.
Glancing around the small bedroom, her eyes stopped at one of her best friends, Leo. He was sitting on a chair and scribbling on his calf furiously. His soulmate replied just an hour after Leo sent his first message. After some talking they came to the conclusion that they were both asexual, but they haven’t stopped talking since.
Jason was next to him, flicking through the pages of one of Piper’s weird magazines absentmindedly. His arms were completely blank, and he couldn’t write on them - which only meant that his soulmate passed away. Piper knew that if she was in Jason’s position, she would’ve lost her cool days ago.
“Having problems with your mystery person?” Leo asked, rolling his sleeves back up. Piper sighed an nodded, rolling over on her back.
“She just…doesn’t respond.” She pouted, thrusting her hand towards her friends.
Jason pushed his glasses higher onto his face and inspected her arm. “Piper…” He sighed. “Why are you drawing dicks on your arm?”
Piper shrugged. Leo laughed. “I ran out of things to say I guess, I’m just writing down what comes to mind.”
Jason sighed and sat back, Piper continued drawing on her hand, now she was drawing flowers, hoping that her soulmate would appreciate this more than penises. Leo was mumbling to himself, Piper wasn’t really paying attention, until one particular question caught her ear.
“What’s up with Reyna, Jase?”
Jason looked a little embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head. “I uh…we actually broke up before I came here.” He admitted, and in almost a minute, both Leo and Piper were tackling their best friend to the ground.
“Tell us. Everything.” Piper muttered. Although she hadn’t met his girlfriend yet (They’d been dating for maybe two weeks) Piper wanted to do whatever she could to make him feel better, and taking from the way Leo was clinging onto him, he had the same thought in mind.
Jason rolled his eyes, but he didn’t make an attempt to push them off. “Well, she found out that her soulmate could contact her like…a week ago, I think?” He raised an eyebrow. “And since then she said that she wanted to break up with me since I obviously wasn’t the soulmate.” He sighed, looking just a little disappointed.
“That’t not very nice…” Leo muttered. “But I understand where she’s coming from.”
Piper nodded in agreement, then she realised something. “Hey even I could contact my soulmate only a week ago, isn’t that cool?”
Jason gave her a weak smile. “Very cool, Pipes.”
