A Second Guanlin Soulmate Au
Anon requested another Guanlin Soulmate au with pieces of Barista au mixed in, (I have no idea how there is still more soulmate keys left to write about) so yanno, here we go.
• Your soulmate sign was odd, different to many of the other signs,
• A possession, a necklace,
• I mean, the first worry is forgetting it right?
• Nah this thing is like a magnet - magic or something- if you lose it, it’ll appear around your neck again within the next minute,
• ( Y'all know Percy Jackson and his sword/pen? Like that voodoo),
• It’s quite a rare Soulmate sign, but you’re pleased with what you’ve got,
• Who needs quotes or music or tattoos when you have a literal thing to hold to signify your soulmate,
• The pendant that’s hangs on the inky black string is metal and cold and delicate,
• A light blue and silver moon littered with patterns and careful designs make your little sign one of the prettiest things you own,
• All swirls and linking patterns and quite beauty,
• A lot of people ask where you got it from,
• You just smile and say your soulmate made it for you,
• hA who could hand craft something so beautiful?
• Being the moon, it’s always cold, occasionally becoming slightly warmer on its own,
• Because it’s such a rare sign you don’t know it actually warms up when you get nearer to your soulmate,
• So you wonder around in your life peacefully, occasionally skimming people’s necks or chests to see if they also have a moon,
• But you’re in no rush, always quite relaxed and cheerful,
• So you’re in university Despite the threat of crushing student loans,
• But because you’re a student you’re actually broke,
• (but so is everyone else so at least you’re not totally alone),
• So you decide you’re going to have to find yourself a job,
• I mean you knew you where going to get one Anyway but you have a huge essay due and a hell of a lot of work from your course,
• Looks like you’re going to have to say goodbye to your social life rip,
• So you go scouting at all the cafes to see what they’re like and if they’re hiring,
• You had a job at a cafe in your old home so you’re pretty sure you could score one at uni as well,
• So you set off on a mission™
• You Jump around businesses because there’s many busy places,
• But you’re walking down this road and your necklace is warming up and you’re slightly surprised but used to its ‘random’ temperature changes,
• But then you spot it, seemingly glowing and calling your name, a cute cafe on the corner,
• But that could be because by now you’re Hella tired from walking around with a lot of course work to try to complete while scoping places out,
• You slide Through the door and glance around the cozy place and you swear you just walked into a fic (Whoops) because this place is too picture Perfect,
• The place is casual and bright and smells sweet with odd tables and chairs with soft music,
• The place looks to be half full of students meeting up or studying, the atmosphere relaxed,
• There must be a con - everything has a con,
• Like the very cute barista must be an idiot because if he isn’t you might cry and beg them to let you work for them,
• But oh shit how you’re wrong,
• You slide up to the counter to order a smoothie,
• (because although you’re apparently an adult now coffee hadn’t miraculously become something you crave),
• The barista spins round with a smile and as your eyes meet his beautiful ones you come to realise,
• Your necklace is near enough burning your damn chest and glowing,
• It’s hot as hell but it doesn’t actually hurt it just sorta tingles,
• Inner you is screaming that this is weird as hell you have burning metal on your chest why doesn’t it hurt,
• But it may look weird if you did that,
• So outter you is just like 'huh, you feeling this as well?’
• It’s actually funny because you can see the Batista’s own inner turmoil as well,
• So you take this moment of mutual panic to check your supposed soulmate out,
• That’ll be handy for when something’s on the top shelf,
• Or spotting him in a crowd,
• A face so delicately pretty and striking that you’re starting to question if Photoshop irl is a thing,
• Your eyes trail down to his chest, where a pendant sits on an oily black string, just like yours,
• Although there’s no moon, but A small and simple sun hangs from his neck, careful oranges and yellows and whites blend together seamlessly and in an eye-catching way, one that draws attention with an easy aura,
• Not an identical moon, but something that matches perfectly - You can’t have a moon without the sun,
• You want to take it into your hands and examine it yourself,
• Except 1) that may be a creepy right now, factoring in the fact you’ve only just met this cute boy,
• 2) it is also slightly glowing and hot looking like yours, His is a brighter, burning glow, whereas your moon in more of a pastel glow,
• Except you do take it into your hands anyway because self control is a myth,
• The Sun is warm and sends tingles up to the top of your head and back down to the tips of your toes, making you feel like you’re floating,
• You feel him take your moon and you only hope he’s feeling the same rising absolute joy that’s filling your heart,
• You already want the absolute best for this stranger,
• You need to calm the hell down,
• “It’s just as pretty as you,”
• You’re about to call yourself out for being cringy AF with your first words but you decide to let yourself this once,
• Because if your necklaces are representatives of your soulmate, like you always had a suspicion about,
• Because there had been a rumor, and people had told you before you where cheerful and bright like the sun,
• ( A coincidence? I ThiNk nOt),
• He’s the moon - shyer, quieter, more aloof and graceful,
• Because he looks so, like the shining moon hovering in a black sky, providing the perfect amount of light to illuminate everything,
• Except he doesn’t have craters of course,
• (although craters add a charm, a unique beauty),
• So yanno, you figured you might as well talk first,
• He laughs at that, eyes shaping into crescents and his ears turning shades redder,
• He moves his hands up to carefully run through your hair, which makes love explode in your heart and you’re automatically content with him being your soulmate,
• Honestly, someone playing with hair? A kink™
• You already know the years ahead are going to be filled with new experiences, ones that’ll make your heart ache and your head dizzy,
• An adventure calls in the eyes of your soulmate and you’re ready to explore the unknown,
• Which starts with you getting a job at that cafe the very same day,
• Honestly, it’s suspiciously perfect,
• But I guess everyone has a different perfect, so maybe it’s not so suspicious for you to find your perfect,
• You seem to co-exist so perfectly, you can work together in perfect harmony, knowing who needs help with what or how to complete an order with each other without so much as a word,
• And when it’s quite you share smoothies or sandwiches and chat or read or silently send each other memes which is true love,
• Or you listen to each other rant, or play stupid games or make up stories about the people that walk past,
• If you’re with the right person, nothing is boring,
• And you find out what it feels like to depend on someone with utter, unquestionable trust,
• But you also realise your whole life isn’t about soulmates,
• While spending time with Guanlin makes your heart race and your heart fill, if he’s in class you can still enjoy lunch with friends or walk cute dogs from a centre,
• It just makes the time together cherished,
• And because Guanlin is a goof, there’s never a moment that’s dull,
• A lot of lazing around in pajamas and blankets and in front of TV’s,
• (Because we all know Guanlin is 2nd lazy in wanna one aka very relatable ),
• Your necklaces are always a content warm when you’re together, a cold when you’re apart,
• And even when you can’t meet, you have your moon,
• A quite reminder that you have someone to lean on, someone to cheer you on,
• You have someone to support you until their arms give way and they can’t anymore,
• Although they’ll still try everything they can to give you their all,
• It’s a comfort, a soft glowing light for the darkness that occasionally appears,
• You know that time together doesn’t need to be jam packed with activities, and that sometimes quietly keeping each other company is love in its own way
