Prompt: Soulmate au where you have a timer on your wrist that counts down to when you’ll meet your soulmate.
You were waling back to your friend, Cindy, with a box of car pats she had ordered. It was a plain day, the same as always. It was sweltering out and you were working at the garage. Yet something felt…different. Not off, just different.
“Cindy, am I forgetting something about today?” you asked as you set the box down on the ground.
“Well I’ll say! Look at yer wrist!” she exclaimed. You looked at it and froze. There was less than an hour left on your soulmate timer. You, honestly, had stopped checking it since it had been changing around on you. The fluxing times had stressed you out so you had just given up on it for the time being. Seeing it lower than it ever had been made your heart skip.
“Oh wow,” you muttered. You were transfixed on it now. There was a part of you waiting for it to change. Another part of you knew if it did you might break. And the last part of you was screaming because you weren’t ready.
“I’ll keep a look out for sure!” Cindy was beaming.
“I’m not ready for this!” you said, grabbing onto her arms.
“Well get ready! Do whatever ya need to!” she said. You took a deep breath to sturdy yourself.
“It’s probably just going to change on me again. I’ll just keep working,” you said, shaking your head.
“If that’s how ya wanna be,” Cindy said. You nodded and set back to work, sorting through the new parts you had just carried in. As you worked you couldn’t help but glance at your wrist every little bit. So far the timer hadn’t changed. And when it hit the five minutes left, you came to the realization that this was really happening. That’s when you heard the sound of out of breath playful arguing. You walked out of the garage to see three guys pushing a beautiful car as a forth one steered it. The sight of them hit you like a brick. One of them had to be the one you were waiting for. Your timer was so close now.
They got the car up close and stopped. You circled around the car, taking in the sight and looking at each guy. There was one with glasses in the driver’s seat, a really tall one, and a blonde with a camera around his neck. Then your eyes settled on the last one. He was the shortest, you assumed, of the group but easily, in your opinion, the most handsome.
“Damn it’s hot here,” he said, running a hand through his spiky black hair.
“Take off your jacket then,” commented the tall one. He looked over at you and chuckled, “hey Noct, how’s your timer doing now?”
“Huh, it’s just seconds away,” he replied, as he did looked in your direction. And in that moment you knew that your wrist had nothing but zeros on it. “Hi,” he said, staring.
“Hello,” you said. He walked closer and held out his wrist, revealing the ended timer.
“Um, yours too?” he asked. You held up your own wrist.
“Mine too,” you said. Behind him the blond threw his arms into the air.
“Woo! Go Noctis!” he yelled.
“Noctis, that’s a nice name. I’m Y/N,” you said, smiling at him.
“Call me Noct. It’s great to finally meet you, y/n,” he said, a shy smile forming.
“Likewise,” you said. You could feel everything falling into place and you knew that this was going to be worth all the waiting.
