Soulmates Don’t Have to Be Romantic- Janus/Dee (Chp 4)

Part 1- Virgil

Part 2- Logan

Part 3- Patton

Unlike for the first three, Rachel wasn’t with any of the others when they met the next soulmate.  She didn’t end up getting the story until Virgil had finally stopped laughing, which took a good portion of time.

Rachel had been at school, as Logan had a debate competition and Virgil had skipped to support him.  All she had known is part way through the day she felt a tingle on her strings and made a note to ask the others later.

What she found out happened was...kind of funny to be honest.

Of course considering Logan was participating in the debate competition they had to drive to the place.  Which this year, was being held in a convention center of sorts.  There going to be several debates throughout the day with a lot of different people.  According to Logan, that was how the competitions normally went, with it being a sort of bracket to see who won.

The first few brackets went by with no real fuss.  It was after their third bracket that it happened.  They had finished a bit early and they were taking a break.  Virgil had headed off to get food but he heard the rest from Logan’s team.

They had just been walking around a bit, exploring the convention center before lunchtime when Logan suddenly stopped and looked down at his string.

It was then that his teammates noticed that it appeared one of his strings was tugging him along.  So of course when it did more than tugging,him they had to follow him to see where it led him.

Logan was apparently glaring at them the whole time, not wanting them to join him on his impromptu adventure, even as he had to run to keep up with the string.

They ignored him of course, not wanting to miss it.  Unfortunately for Logan, their soulmate was still in the middle of a debate when his string was dragging him.  Meaning when Logan burst in the room because while the string was dragging him, his soulmate was on stage.

So just imagine you’re in the middle of a debate when all of a sudden one of your competitors and all of their teammates come rushing in.  

Virgil felt the tingle right after he grabbed his lunch and immediately headed back to figure out what had just happened.  The second Logan explained to him he burst out laughing, needless to say it took a bit for VIrgil to introduce himself to Yellow.  As that was the string both of them had realized was pulling them.

When Rachel checked her phone later that day after class was out she was surprised to see a lot more notifications then she expected from the group chat.

Purple has added Janus to the chat

Purple has changed Janus’ name to Yellow

Indigo: meet up in our usual meeting spot later, we’ll explain everything there

Blue: !!!!

Blue: you guys met another one of our soulmates at Lolo’s competition!!

Yellow: can someone tell me where I’m being dragged to?

Blue: oh, our usual meeting place is the mall!  It’s about the same drive for all of us so if all 4 of us are meeting up, it’s easiest to meet there

Yellow: ok good to know, second question, what’s up with the chat names?

Rachel snickered a bit as she responded.

Lavender: you’ll have to blame V and I for that, we called each other by our string colors as a nickname and it just kind of stuck

Lavender: so when Logan joined us we decided that would be the name for the gc, plus there’s going to be 7 of us so makes it easier

Blue: oh Ray, is school out for you now?

Lavender: yep just got out, oh how’d the competition go?

Purple: Lo’s team got first place, Janus’ (aka Yellow) got second...after restarting a round because of certain distractions

Lavender: certain distractions?

Purple: Lo says we’re not allowed to tell until we meet up cause he’s no fun

Yellow: more likely he’s embarrassed

Lavender: okay now I’m curious, omw now

Rachel quickly explained to her parents what was going on before she headed over to the mall, kind of glad now that she had gotten her driver’s license.  It definitely made this whole situation easier.

Rachel wasn’t sure whether or not they were at the mall already or not, at least she didn’t until she got out of the car and immediately felt her string pulling her and cursed a little as she rushed to follow it.  Good thing Patton wasn’t here yet or he might have said anything.

She was about halfway to their meeting place when she bumped into someone and noticed her string had stopped pulling her. “Well at least we didn’t crash into each other,” Rachel said, teasing slightly as she looked up at her next soulmate.

What Rachel noticed first was their eyes. Like both her and Virgil, they had heterochromia.  Though while she was eye color twins with Virgil, this soulmate’s eye’s were blue and green. His blue eye was in the middle of a patch of lighter skin, it looked like he had vitiligo or something like that.  He gave off ‘you fuck with me I end you vibes’ and yet...something told her she wouldn’t have to worry about him.  Though she wanted to know how they were able to do that when they were only a few inches taller than her.

“I’m guessing you’re Rachel,” her soulmate said in front of her with a slight chuckle.  “I’m Janus but you can call me Dee. They/them pronouns please.”

“...How do you get Dee from Janus,” Rachel asked after a pause.

“Middle names exist you know,” Dee snarked back.  But from the smile on their face it was clear they weren’t being mean-spirited.

“Fair enough,” Rachel said, grinning back at them.  “Not my fault I got a first name that’s easy to make a nickname out of.”

Dee pretended to be offended, but Rachel could tell they weren’t serious.  Unfortunately, before they could respond, Rachel noticed they were getting tugged again.

“Oh looks like Patton’s here,” Rachel hummed.

Dee sighed and hung their head.  “I’ll meet up with you with the others when I get back,” he offered.

Rachel nodded and waved as Dee got dragged off before heading to meet up with Logan and Virgil.  Where she promptly got the story and tried to ignore Logan’s glare.  

Upon seeing Patton dragging Dee back to their group, she could tell already that they’d all get along.  Even as Dee struck up a friendly argument with Virgil, and got into a debate with Logan..something just felt right.

Ray could only wonder how right it would feel once they had their last two soulmates.
