darling one, just live

“I don’t want to marry someone who isn’t my soulmate,” she says in that simple way she always does that makes a topic seem casual, like something one might bring up without hesitation, rather than a thing that is never mentioned in polite society.  She doesn’t stop there, she wouldn’t be his queen if she did.  “You and your lady wife did not share a soulmark?”

“No, we did not, but we tried our best to make it work.”  If he wants to convince her of his attachment to his late wife, he is failing, but he knows the point is a dead one.

“What is your soulmark?”

He’s afraid of what he might do if he were to find out they are soulmates. He’s afraid of what he might do if he were to find out they are not. He doesn’t know which outcome frightens him more.

time isn’t always enough, but maybe time is the only thing they need | a soulmate au (x)
