Chapter 2: The First Conversation
Better Than It Was Before, chapter 1, chapter 3
Tags: Soulmate AU, Patton angst, coffee shop AU, fluff
Summary: The four soulmates sit down to discuss their relationship and boundaries.
Words: 2951
Pairings: LAMP
Notes: This chapter got so close to the Talking About Our Issues that it was meant to be and then I got an idea and it derailed into fluff. At this point I'm pretty sure this story is going to end up quite long because I'm not very good at sticking to a plan.
Warnings: this is all Patton's POV so slightly unreliable narrator I guess, some swearing, mention of someone being slightly drunk
Also apologies for any random British words in here. Some of it may be accidental, some of it is because I didn't want to use the American word. I hope it doesn't get annoying.

All afternoon, Patton served customers and watched his soulmates chat from across the cafe. The others had said they wanted to hang around so they could all be together properly for a while, and for the first time in his life Patton couldn't wait for the last customer to leave.
He tried very hard not to let the feeling of being left out return, as he watched them talk and laugh more and more freely while the hours ticked by, but it was nigh on impossible.
For years, Patton had a hold on his emotions, keeping them locked up and out of the way by focussing on other things. But one moment of letting his guard down and allowing hope to flood back had made that so much harder. Barely a few hours since he'd admitted to being their soulmates and he was already regretting it.
They were so happy together, was Patton capable of that anymore?
More Than Soulmates AU Idea Part 2
Patton was excited to one day meet his soulmate. They were going to be best buddies, eat cookies together, watch cartoons, have sleepovers, it was going to be amazing. Being born with a best friend out there somewhere was great!
Except maybe Patton had it wrong?
As he got older he started to notice that soulmates did more than that, they went on dates but that seemed fun and it was just like hanging out with your friends, they gave eachother gifts like flowers but thats cool too he wanted to give his friends presents, they held hands but he did that with his friends all the time, they... made out?
Kissing didn’t seem terrible, his mum kissed his head and that was nice and maybe a little peck on the lips would be ok but... kissing like... that... it seemed gross.
Would he have to do that when he met his soulmate? Gosh, he hoped not.
As he got older he learned about romance, something he had never really thought about but it explained his parents. But it just didn’t seem... as awesome as a spectacular friendship!
But he was starting to worry, what if when he met his soulmate, his soulmate wanted more than friendship?
Emile was excited to one day meet his soulmate. He wasn’t exactly sure why but he knew he was. He knew that soulmates were the most special and most important. He knew that when you met them you were meant to feel whole, whatever that meant. He knew that it was meant to be exciting so he was excited.
His parents were also excited when he first got his soulmark, they had a little celebratory party, it was great. The soulmark was great as well, it was a puppy! Emilie loved puppies! Did this mean his soulmate also loved puppies? He sure hoped so.
He never really thought much more about his soulmate or about soulmates in general. He just lived his life and knew that one day he would meet them and that it was going to be great, so there wasn’t much to think about and nothing to worry about.
Although this meant he was completely unprepared for meeting Patton.
It was the first day of highschool and Patton was shaking with excitement. He was going to meet new people and make new friends and maybe meet his soulmate, he ignored the part of him that was anxious about that, and he was going to be learning more things! It was great!
Then he met Emile. He squealed and hugged Emile, who hugged back, before they’d even introduced themselves. So they started dating.
Patton was so happy, Emile was everything he had hoped for and more, they watched cartoons, baked, cuddled, made puns, helped each other out when they were sad. They also held hands and went on dates. They were fun as well.
Emile was surprised when he met Patton and had asked his parents later what he was supposed to do now. So now they were dating. At first Emile wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing but it seemed like they were just friends with a fancy name and called hanging out going on a date, so everything seemed great.
And what people said were true, Patton was special and definitely became important to him as they dated over the years.
Then people started asking questions, usual ones such as when did you meet, what was your first date, how was your first kiss...
They’d never kissed. Other people found it weird. Emile didn’t think it was anyone’s business.
But Patton worried. Were they doing the soulmate thing right? Why hadn’t they kissed yet? Was it because of Patton? Did Emile want to kiss? Had he not because he was waiting for Patton to make the first move?
People were right, soulmates were supposed to kiss and they hadn’t. Patton was going to fix that even if he didn’t like it.
So, the next time they went on a date, Patton kissed Emile.
Emile was surprised, he hadn’t really thought of kissing Patton but he supposed it felt nice, so he kissed back.
Patton then parted his lips and Emile followed suit until they were making out.
Patton felt... gross. This didn’t feel right at all.
Emile felt... good. It was a pleasant experience... until he felt tears on his face.
He pulled back to see Patton crying.
Patton hadn’t meant to start crying. He tried to wipe them away but Emile just cupped his face and then pulled him into a hug, holding him just the way he liked. He sobbed harder.
It had felt so gross... was he broken? What was wrong with him, Emile had been enjoying himself and he’d gone and ruined it.
Emile didn’t know what was wrong. Was it the kiss or was it something else? He had no idea and he’d have to wait to ask.
When Patton had calmed down enough he pulled back and apologised and Emile was confused so Patton clarified that he’d ruined their first kiss. Emile disagreed and said it was great and Patton ruined nothing but, what’s wrong?
Patton trusted Emile with everything. They were so close but he was still hesitant. Would Emile leave him? No, not if continued to kiss him anyway. Honesty is the best policy.
So Patton told Emile about the feelings he felt around kissing.
Emile wasn’t surprised but he hadn’t known either. But he did know one thing, they weren’t going to kiss like that anymore.
Patton was surprised and then objected, Emile had liked the kiss.
Emile had but Patton was more important to him than kissing, Patton made him feel so much better by just being around than he’d felt with the kiss.
Patton blushed and shed more tears before saying he loved Emile.
Emiled loved him too.
Some time and research later they had words for themselves. Patton was aromantic and asexual. Emile was quiromantic and graysexual. And together they were in a queerplatonic relationship.

Virgil is in Patton’s room watching the moral side color and scroll through recipe ideas on Pinterest. He came in here to tell Patton something, but Virgil can't help the anxiety building in his chest and he is fighting the urge to run.
Patton glances over at Virgil who is sitting in his chair next to him, “So, kiddo, was there a reason you came to see me, or did you just want some time together?” he asks with a smile, coloring the cute dog in is coloring book.
Virgil plays with his hoodie strings, “I uh, I actually have something I want to tell you.” He admits, looking anywhere but at Patton.
Patton smiles gently, setting his stuff aside and giving Virgil his full attention, “What is it, Virgil?”
Virgil hesitates, opening his mouth to speak and promptly closing it again.
Patton frowns, “You know, you can tell me anything. I'm not going to judge.”
Virgil takes a deep breath screws his eyes shut and lets it out, “I love you!” he says, curling in on himself a bit.
Patton smiles wide, it’s the first time Virgil had said that to him, “Aww I love you too, Kiddo!”

Buy me a coffee!
“Patton, dear?” Logan’s voice yells from their downstairs living room, Patton can tell he’s slightly out of breath even from right up in the master bedroom.
“Yes, lovebug?” he shouts back, setting down another box beside the others slowly stacking up and taking over one corner of the bedroom.
“Where did you put the bedroom lamp?” Logan says, there’s some shuffling around until Logan’s voice comes back louder now, Patton assumes he’s at the bottom of the stairs, “I can’t find it.”
Patton glances around the bare bedroom, their bedframe is built finally, the mattress plopped on top of it still with no sheets, pillows, or duvet on it. The wooden flooring covered in boxes and various furniture meant for their bedroom.
Their bedroom. Patton still feels thrilled that he can call this room, this house, theirs. That they own together. A step in the life they’re building together.
More Than Soulmates AU Idea Part 1
Virgil is nervous about meeting his soulmate. There are so many expectations for soulmates. They’re supposed to find each other attractive at first sight, and date immediately and be in love. But what if that doesn’t happen. What if for one reason or another it doesn’t work out. There’s so much pressure and expectation around soulmates.
Roman has spent his whole life dreaming of a soulmate to sweep off their feet, to be the prince to their princess/prince/royal. He’s grown up watching and falling in love with other people falling in love. All his favourite movies are about falling in love with your soulmate. Roman expects to like his soulmate as soon as he sees them.
He does not however, expect Virgil, loner, emo and anxious.
But that’s ok, he can still sweep him off his feet. Just because they have a rough start doesn’t mean it won’t have a sweet ending.
Except it doesn’t work. They clash, Roman tries to do something romantic and Virgil is embarrassed. Virgil attempts to take Roman on a date but it’s not exactly what Roman wants. They both want different things and it doesn’t seem to be working out.
But they are soulmates, maybe if they just persevere they will grow into it.
They don’t.
It just keeps getting worse, they attempt compromise but it just leaves negative feelings pushed down. Feelings that suddenly push up in bursts of anger until they end up arguing everytime they see each other.
Eventually they can’t anymore and break it off. They failed at life, they failed at being soulmates, something so important in their society.
The people around them try to push them back together, they should love each other through thick and thin, they shouldn’t break up because of a rough patch.
Roman moves away, he can’t handle it anymore. He doesn’t understand why they’re soulmates, sure they have common ground but they want very different things from a relationship. Everything about society that he thought he knew he starts to question.
Virgil is left with a feeling of guilt and failure, his fears had come true and soulmates were a bunch of lies. He just didn’t get it.
The students spread rumors about Virgil pushing his soulmate away. The people around him ignore him unless it is to utter an insult. Soulmates are the most important thing in the world and Virgil had lost his.
Roman on the other hand gets a fresh start at a new school. He meets Patton, wonderful and bubbly Patton. They become best friends easily, they just seem to fit together. They both have the same energy level, they have similar interests and similar sense of humour. Every moment with Patton is fun.
Roman wishes shamefully that Patton were his soulmate which is wrong and something he should never think, he has a soulmate and he failed.
Then Roman meets Patton’s soulmate, Emile. Patton and Emile are in a QPR, there is no romance. Roman is confused yet intrigued at the same time he has some internal prejudice from the pressure of society for soulmates to be romantic. He has so many questions but luckily Patton and Emile are patient and understanding. They help Roman unlearn everything he thought about soulmates and himself.
And then he makes an important discovery.
He’s aromantic.
He wants to be wooed and to woo but he wants to do it in a non romantic sense. He feels more complete than he ever did when he was dating Virgil.
But he can’t help but rethink the situation, perhaps he and Virgil could’ve been friends?
Meanwhile, Virgil still doesn’t really know what to think of soulmates, all he knows is that he failed. But then he stumbles across a tumblr post about how society is stupid for teaching kids that soulmates are always and only romantic and about aromantic people and such. This leads him down a rabbit hole of searching up a bunch of stuff and he realises that he didn’t fail, society failed him, even though it’s hard to believe sometimes. He cries that night.
Later, he finds other people who were in failed soulmate relationships online. He meets Elliott, a wonderful enby who’d got stuck with a boyfriend who was a bit of an arse. It was so freeing for Virgil to be able to talk to someone who got it, who understood how it felt to want the relationship to work, to trying to force it to even though they just ended up being hurt. To feel the weight of societal pressure to conform.
They both also had anxiety and similar interests and their friendship was something that helped Virgil through the tough years of highschool.
The relationship Roman, Patton and Emile have grows. They are best friends, maybe even something a little different then friends and not in a bad way.
Patton and Emile both want Roman to join their relationship but they understand that perhaps he won’t feel the same but they sure as heck are going to tell him.
So they do and Roman is surprised, excited, worried and confused. They’re not soulmates is all Roman can think at first but when he thinks about being more intimate with them and having that platonic wooing and just Patton and Emile in general he lets himself forget that and focus on the excitement and happiness of having a new relationship with people he likes.
So off to university Roman goes with his new queerplatonic partners. They room together.
Roman feels happy in this queerplatonic relationship. He gets to woo and be wooed by these two who want to have the same things out of a relationship. To have cuddles, and binge watch cartoons and go on lovely platonic dates to a park or a cafe or anywhere really. And Roman feels good.
When he told his parents it hadn’t gone down well and they had blamed his brother as if he had anything to do woth the situation. Roman had left after that and not gone back. The three had faced stuff like that at school and probably would continue to face it forever.
But it was worth as long as they were together.
Roman is so happy and ready for anything.
Except for seeing Virgil in his creative writing class.
They both keep looking at each other throughout the class and looking away when the other looks and internally freaking out. They both avoid eachother.
Roman tells his partners and talks it out with them. He feels better about it afterwards and feels ready to talk to Virgil. To apologise, to attempt a friendship, to tell him that they needn’t be in a romantic relationship. He wants so bad for it to go well, to be friends, they’d had some good times together, and to introduce him to his partners. But he understands that maybe Virgil will not want a connection with Roman at all. The bad times had definitely outweighed the good.
Virgil on the otherhand just wants to hide in his bed forever. But his new friend and roommate Logan won’t let him.
The next time they have creative writing, Roman manages to catch Virgil and they go to a cafe for an awkward then not so awkward talk.
Roman apologises first and explains that he doesn’t want to be in a romantic relationship.
And Virgil is so relieved. He actually smiles. He apologises as well.
Their sucky relationship was a team effort after all.
And after that talking gets easier.
Roman explains how he met Patton and then Emile and how their relationship was different. And then about how he’d struggled to understand but because of Patton and Emile’s kindness they’d stuck at it. How’d he figured out he was aromantic and how they had gotten into a relationship and then he’d told his parents, then cut ties with them when they didn’t react well and here he was now.
Virgil doesn’t have as much to tell but tell he does.
He talks about how the school started hating him and how glad he is that he doesn’t go there anymore. He talks about how supportive his counsellor and his mum have been. He talks about stumbling across the tumblr post that changed his whole outlook on life. And how he found other people in failed soulmate relationships that made him feel better. He talks about his new online friend Elliott, that he met that way. He talks about his room mate Logan, who is actually quite pretty.
After they talk less about the serious stuff, starting with some teasing from Roman about Virgil’s little crush on Logan. They talk about courses and WIPs that their working on and new movies they’ve seen.
They just clicked together in a way they never had before.
