Ethan and you knew each other for a long time but only became sorta of friends when he started dating your bestfriend, Tara, during everyone’s first year in college. Soon, you and Tara became part of the group. And you loved it, it was like being home, even if far away.

But recently Tara was worried because Ethan claimed he hadn’t received his mark yet. See, in this universe everyone gets a matching mark with their soulmate when they finally turn 20, and his birthday party happened two weeks ago. Chad and Olivia’s was the number “14” on the left arm. Mindy and Anika’s was a drawing of the sun in the stomach. And yours was a butterfly in your left thigh, quite hidden, but all your friends knew about it.

You hadn’t found your match yet but it wasn’t like you’d just go around checking everyone’s thighs….you were certain that the person would find you. That’s how it’s supposed to work anyway, right?

Ethan knew about your mark. That’s why he had no idea what do to ever since that stupid bug just appeared on his left thigh the morning after his 20th birthday. He was staring at it in the mirror. How is he gonna fix this? Or a better question, how was he supposed to hide it from his girlfriend?
