“Two? How can you have two soulmates?”
Cedrix looked down at Tiff’s arms. The writing was messy, not quite legible yet, but it was definitely there. And it was definitely on both arms.
“Got two hands, don’t I?”
Tiff folded her arms, hiding the markings from Cedrix’s view. Cedrix huffed. His left arm was bare, but on his right sat the same kind of black scribbles as his cousin. His were a lot shorter than either of Tiff’s, but just as illegible.
“My soulmate is going to be better than both of yours put together.” He announced decisively.
“Nuh uh,” Tiff retorted, “My two are gonna be twice as good as your silly one.”
And that was when the fight started.
Later, as Cedrix plugged his bloody nose with the twisted corners of his handkerchief, and Tiff examined what was bound to be an impressive black eye in her hand mirror, Cedrix asked a question.
“Do you think he’ll like me?”
Tiff laughed, but then caught sight of Cedrix’s face. His brow was furrowed in the way it always did when he was worried, as if he were trying to carry the weight of the entire kingdom on his eight-year-old shoulders. And it wasn’t the he part that was troubling him.
“Of course he will.” Tiff dropped to lie next to Cedrix on the floor. He didn’t seem reassured, so she elbowed him playfully in the side. “Though I dunno why. He’d have to be an idiot to like you.”
And that was when the fight started. Again.
As it turned out, Tiff was right.
Edit: Now with a part two!
