This felt like a joke.

Your soulmates path was severed and changed; you didn’t even know that was possible. They didn’t want you.

Soulmates had always existed in this world, bound together by a twisted god named fate; two people were destined to spend their lives together, usually that was seen as a good thing, until you were one of the mere hundred a century that were destined to be alone, without a soulmate. Most people in that position found others like that and got with them, but some were truly destined to be alone, like you were. It felt like the world was mocking you for being here, for trying to find something good in the unfortunate hand you’d been dealt in the land of the living. It was cruel.

You always knew your soulmate was close; you felt the lingering tingle in your stomach that was always just out of reach; and now you knew why. Your destined soulmate was Satoru Gojo; an ethereal 18 year old boy, whom was your best friend and was one of the strongest sorcerers, but you found the soulmate part out too late; or maybe there was never a time you could’ve saved your bond. He always had a soft spot for Suguru Geto, who was yours and Satorus best friend. Yet; Suguru was destined to be without a soulmate. The two boys always spent every waking moment together, usually including you if you weren’t studying, they were always mistaken as a couple.

Until they were. One day you felt a shift, you could no longer feel the tingle of your soulmate, yet a flat, hollow emptiness sat in the pit of your stomach. You didn’t even know this was possible. And then you heard the two boys pass, and you just caught wind of their conversation; soulmates. They were soulmates.
