warning: swearing, soulmate au, bugsy is the love interest as she should be
masterlist
a/n: bugsy x reader. thank the discord for this one, bugsy simps. happy april 1st even though bugsy being a real person shouldn’t be a joke. she should be real. she deserves to be real.
y/n is the gn reader and bugsy is only referred to as bugsy (confusing bc she's y/n in bts but it's fine it's fine)
soulmate au where what you write on your skin appears on your soulmates skin. i made my own rules so i hope they make sense but they aren’t super important so it’s probably fine if you don’t understand lol
bugsy handwriting in italic, y/n handwriting in bold
___
"Y/n?"
Your eyes were glued to your hand, wide and unbelieving as your friends spoke in your ears.
"Y/nnn?" George sang lightly. "Quackity, I think they might have left."
"They're still in the call," Quackity noted.
Did you draw that smiley face on your hand? Definitely not, it looked too neat compared to your lazy scrawl.
"Yeah, but maybe they left their desk or something. Anyway, chat, we'll get them to answer that when they come back but I'm 98% sure they said they've never talked to their soulmate. And yeah, Quackity and I haven't yet either."
"One time, I was so sure that I had something written on my arm but it turned out I fell asleep on my homework and it rubbed off on my arm," Quackity said with a laugh. "Probably a good thing or else their first words to me would have been about the flaws and successes of the American judicial system."
George laughed loudly and you wanted to speak, but you still couldn't look away from the small scribbles by your thumb. You let a small laugh out and the boys noted your return to the real world.
"Oh, they're back. Did you hear what happened, Y/n?" George asked.
"Uh, kinda. I was here, I just zoned out."
"A dono asked if any of us have talked to our soulmate before."
"Um..."
"Wait, have you?" Quackity asked.
"No... but I just found something I definitely never drew on myself," you said with a nervous laugh. You had always dreamed of the day you'd meet your soulmate and now that it was here, you didn't know what to do. "I guess the stomachache I felt earlier was the soul connection, not the flu."
"WHAT?" George yelled. "No way! What does it say?"
"I'm not talking about my soulmate marks on stream, George. It literally just happened."
"Okay, fair. We can move on. Do you have any magma blocks I can have?"
"Um, yeah, hold on," you said, clearly distracted as you kept staring at your thumb. "I'm trying to find a pen first."
"I can't believe Y/n would rather talk to their soulmate than us," Quackity teased dramatically. "That's so rude."
"Quackity, shut up!" You laughed but grabbed a pen and ripped off the cap, hesitating before copying their doodle smiley face in your own sloppy script, along with a small message, hello there.
New ink appeared almost immediately, sending butterflies to your stomach. "Okay, I'm gonna go," you decided after reading their greeting. "You understand."
"No, I don't!" Quackity joked. "We're your friends! They're a stranger!"
"You'll understand one day when you get to talk to your freaking SOULMATE."
"Wait, magma blocks!" George reminded and you quickly told him where they were in your base. "Thanks."
"You're welcome. Bye, sorry for leaving."
"It's all good, go get that dick or get that pussy or whatever," Quackity joked.
"QUACKITY!"
He laughed loudly in response and George joined him.
"Bye, guys. Bye, chat!" You disconnected soon after and ripped off your headphones as you grabbed the pen and sat on your bed.
You found the hi :) they had last written and wrote underneath it sloppily, I'm y/n, what's your name?
do you mind if i hold off on telling you that? i'd rather get to know you first :)
of course! sorry I'm very excited!
it's okay! they wrote back quickly. i'm just kinda shy :P
well you sound really sweet, you wrote on the outside of your forearm.
hehe thanks
pronoun checkk? i'm she/her
they/them, you wrote before adding, this is so cool, I can't believe we already have the connection, my parents didn't get connected until their 30s
i know!! she wrote underneath. i didn't expect to get a soulmate for another few years at least!
i've always been so confused about when your soul connects with someone else?
there are two parts, a) you have to have similar interests and b) you have to be two relationships away from each other. so you know someone who knows someone who knows me
and you and I have similar interests
im bad at explaining :/
so one of us finally made the connection by making a new friend i guess? or getting a new hobby?
You found her message about not explaining well and wrote a small reassuring note next to it, you explained perfectly, before writing your new message under the most recent.
i haven't met anyone recently, have you?
You waited for a response and smiled when you saw the word leg written next to your last sentence. You glanced at your legs to see her response above your knee. You guys were definitely running out of space quickly.
I've met a few people... if it's who i think it is, do you happen to like... minecraft?
oh gosh yes?? who do you know??
I’ve always wanted to ask someone this
y/n, are you friends with georgenotfound?
YES?
NO WAY. I WAS HALF JOKING
WAIT REALLY YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH HIM TOO?
I met Sap recently so since he's friends with him and you're friends with him, that’s why we got connected!!!
You laughed as you looked down at your arms and legs, which were getting crowded with pen scribbles. You and your soulmate had only talked for about ten minutes and were already a mess. Maybe you two should have planned out the space better.
wait... do you know who bugsy is?
YES! I love her so much, I haven't met her yet but I want to so bad
Your soulmate hadn't responded so you kept writing.
I keep trying to get people to introduce me but none of my friends have met her yet
Y/n... you just did
what
nice to meet you, y/n, im bugsy :)
I'M SO EMBARASSED NOW OH GOSH
don't be!!! I've seen a few streams with you in them and you sound so sweet
do you wanna talk on discord or something? I'm running out of space
You wrote your Discord number next to her last message and ran back to your computer, waiting for her friend request. What are the odds that your soulmate would happen to be the streamer you adored from day one? You needed to find out how to keep your cool so you didn't scare her away.
You let out a small scream as an incoming call came from her. "Oh no," you said to yourself before breathing deeply and hitting accept.
"Hi, Y/n!" she chirped happily and you swore you almost evaporated.
"H-hey," you stammered out, slapping your forehead after. "Sorry, I just... I've been dreaming about having a soulmate for so long, and now that it's you I just..."
"I'm nervous too," she admitted. "Your voice is so cute."
"Holy shit," you muttered and she giggled in response. You played with your hands in your lap and noticed ink spreading across the back of your right hand. She was drawing little hearts all over it, making your own heart beat faster. "It's been twenty minutes and I'm pretty sure you're already going to kill me."
Ho boy has it been a long time since I actually posted artwork here (anywhere besides discord, really). BUT, I said I would share this so here I am!
I drew my version of Bugsy from @strawberrymilkgeorge and her amazing Behind the Screen series. Seriously, I am always excited to read her next piece. I can't begin to tell you how much I love it!
