working on another one shot
this time a/b/o and soulmate marks. Who should the mark variant be this time? Idk, still figuring it out. Here’s a sneak,peak:
His university was burning around him, the air thick with smoke and humid from the flames, but it wasn't the only thing burning. William felt it deep in his bones and around the mark itself, an instantaneous flash of heat that licked up his arm and settled around the name, the name that had caused so much confusion in the past.
"It's you," he whispered, and the man turned like he had heard him. Surprise was in the widening of his eyes, his mouth falling open with it. The man floated closer to him, still stunned, and reached out for him.
William took a step back, which was not what one usually did when they finally met their soulmate. He was afraid, yes, but more than that, he had a deep, sudden understanding that his life would radically change as soon as he accepted that hand that was held out to him.
He was not ready. He didn't want this, but the burning encouraged him to move closer, just touch his soulmate and the pain, the longing, would end.
William had never wanted more dichotomous things in his life. He wanted to turn and run, even knowing how fruitless that would be. He also wanted to step into that embrace, to touch that familiar face with awe. They weren't quite the same, but similar enough to be twins.
It was his best friend's face, but a monster lurking underneath. Who else would destroy without mercy?
"William," the monster laughed. "I found you. I can't believe it, after all this time, it's finally you," he said, mouth curling into a wide smile, claiming fangs on full display.
He opened his mouth to deny it but nothing came out. It would be a lie, after all.
