His mother had once told him that once he turned 16, he would learn who his soulmate was, the universe had always made sure to try bring back the two halves of a soul.

On the day of his not so sweet 16, when he saw a strange turn an infuriatingly vibrant pink he scowled. Out of all the colours, he got some obnoxious pink. It was safe to say, he didn’t seem to enjoy his birthday celebration that year.
