ELI / HAWK
every touch from your soulmate leaves a mark on your body
dude. this one has enamored me sm and i think it fits eli so well, because it proves no matter how much you love or hate each other, you'll always be soulmates
every slap, hit, kick, punch, whatever, leaves a mark in blue on you and f/c on him
every light touch, pull in, and kiss leaves marks that won't leave you for hours
you try so hard to hide them sometimes, but you wish you wouldve known that it wouldve been better to not do so all along
sometimes the colors change. you take notice of it when it happens rather fast
when eli turns to hawk, the color goes from blue to red. when he goes rogue on demetri, the red grows darker. when he joins miyagi-do, it turns green, then later purple before turning back to blue before the sekai tekai
its like a journey of growth and watching him find himself its rlly cool
first you start as f/c, then move to orange when you join cobra kai / miyagi do, then to yellow when tory leaves cobra kai, red during the sekai tekai, then finally blue when your story arcs conclude
DEMETRI
DEVON
if you and your soulmate possess the same item, it glows
and we're talking niche items, not like pencils or something, like rubix cubes, plushies, books
its not a glow in the dark obnoxious glow, its a faint, soft glow of light, almost like a firefly's glow in strengthness but it's a soft white color
in the case of rubix cubes or any very colorful items, the individual colors will glow like theres a light inside
so when you start hanging out at each others houses, you start noticing some items have a mysterious glow to them, items you both recognize you own for yourselves
demetri, being a dork, puts it together really quickly and basically shuts off because he's flustered and surprised
like he doesnt spend all day wondering who his soulmate is or staring at potential matches in school to see if he shares anything w them
this is a huge surprise and hes rather relieved its you, someone he knows and likes instead of a stranger
songs stuck in your soulmates head can be heard in yours
MIGUEL
she honestly really likes your music taste, to the point any song that gets stuck on your head is instantly put onto her spotify somewhere
she also rlly shares a music taste w you if you like multiple genres of music and are kinda everywhere, she also likes hearing some new genres from time to time
like she wouldnt find a lot of your music on her own but she enjoys it
she gives you a lot of folk / classical music and some like classic rock almost
like kacey musgraves, buck owens, fleetwood mac / stevie nicks, fish in a birdcage, etc
like imagine watching her fight and just hearing "never break the chain" repeat over and over in your head cause she's locked in but the chain is stuck in her head 😭😭
she complains about your silly ass too cause why tf you got some kpop / metal / not popular music stuck in your head mid karate tournament bro
you get a picture of your soulmate and they get one if you each year on the opposites birthday
ROBBY
you literally spend each birthday awaiting a new photo of him, watching him grow up with you
the letter it arrives in has no return address, theres no name or date on the photo, and any hints to a location (names of places, street signs, etc) are blurred
but after a while you were able to deduce your soulmate didnt live in california, so you sorta just kept the photos in a photo binder in hopes youd stumble across him one day
and somehow you do, not as soon as you thought tho
he just shows up in town, and you rush home after school to try and make sure this is the same kid cause if not, they look VERY alike
but it is him, you show him after a few months and badabing badaboom
you cant harm your soulmate
like physically, mentally, verbally, emotionally, etc
you just cannot. you'll miss any slap, punch, or kick you throw at them, words will miscontrue / you literally cannot try to harm your soulmate emotionally / mentally or conjure the thought to
now imagine figuring this out at the all valley. you're on the mat across from each other and you literally cant hurt each other
no one can land blows, you look like dumbasses
some of the most skilled fighters between cobra kai and miyagi do / eagle fang cant fight each other. wtf
eventually you come to your senses and realize holy shit youre soulmates
which explains why youre always on the same side during fights or if youre not, youre never fighting each other
but the second youre set in front of each other, you cant fight
its honestly really embarrassing and frustrating cause like karate is your main hobby and now you'll never be able to prove yourself better than robby wtf
