I'm listening to my playlist on shuffle, and it played the Wedding song after Any way the wind blows, from Hadestown, just randomly.
Just a coincidence, am I right?

I sighed, reading the one thing Tommy left me before leaving for France, and that was the book about Soulmates he had. I have no idea how many times I've read it, but enough for me to memorize every word, every picture, every number, every crease in the paper, every sign of age and use the book held.

I read over the paragraph I read over a million times before.

There are two main ways to tell who are soulmates, one being more known than the other.

Of course, there is the whole death thing (if you get the reference, I love you), but the second, and lesser known way, is sex. More notably, when one soulmate loses their virginity.

When one soulmate loses their virginity, the other soulmate does too. No one knows exactly who, or what, has "sex" with the other, making them lose their virginity, but we know that it happens.

The other soulmate typically shows signs that they're having sex, like blushing and moaning, while not even doing the activity.

It's a strange phenomenon, but it's a phenomenon nonetheless.

I rolled my eyes. Surely, that's not possible, right?

(What'd I miss is playing, and I kinda don't wanna do this, while also wanting to write this part more, help)

I started to get up from my bed before feeling a wave of pleasure hit me. It was strange, unfamiliar, yet not unwelcome. A moan slipped in between my lips before I could stop it. I look over to my closed door, running up to it and quickly locking it as another moan escaped my lips.

Thank god moms not home...

No way my soulmate is currently having sex, right? I don't even know my-

"A-ah!" I moaned, flopping back on my bed. "O-okay, ma-maybe that book...ngh....kn-knows what's its talking about..."

I tried clearing my head, but I just couldn't. If anything, my brain just spiraled downwards, almost embracing the pleasure, the lust, the need...

Then I started thinking about him.

I started imagining him in bed with someone else, a woman, no doubt. I felt a wave of tears come along as another wave of pleasure hit me.

He'd never love you. You're like a brother to him. He doesn't care about you...

I need to call him

I tried to sit up to get my phone, which was on my desk across the room, but it happened.

I didn't mean to moan his name.

Loudly.

Thank god mom isn't home

I wasn't doing anything either. I wasn't touching myself, if that's what you're thinking. No, Luna is too awkward to write that.

I quickly grabbed my phone before another wave of pleasure hit, hitting his phone number.

One ring

Two rings

Three rings

"Yo, it's Thomas. I'm not at the phone at the moment, probably doing shit. I'll call you when I can, 'kay?"

I hung up, sighing. The waves were done. The lust was gone. He was done.

No, it's just a coincidence that he's busy while my soulmate had just finished getting it on.

Suddenly, Thomas started calling. I picked it up, putting it on speaker.

"J-Jemmy?" He sounded out of breath.

Just a coincidence

"Thomas?" I asked, getting a 'yeah?' in response. "Erm.....my soulmate just got laid..."

He was silent for a moment. "O-okay, so?"

"Tommy, do you not remember your book?" I sighed, hearing the lack of a response from him. "When one soulmate loses their virginity, the other does too."

"Oh my god, Jemmy, are you okay!?"

I chuckled. "Yes Tommy, I'm fi-"

"Qui ça, Thomas?" I heard a woman say.
(Who's that, Thomas?)

He's not alone

"Personne, retourne au lit." I heard Thomas reply.
(It's supposed to be No one babe, go back to bed, but I doubt it worked)

He's taken

"Hey, Uh, I have to go, Thomas, but I'll call you later, okay?" I said quickly, hanging up, not waiting for his response.

Just a coincidence, right?

Yeah, just a coincidence.

Just a coincidence that he's not alone.

Just a coincidence that he's out of breath.

Just a coincidence.

Right?
