au when you get the injuries your soulmate gets until you meet
" Hey, Rin!" " Senpai!" " I'm going to swim for a while, so help me take attendance!" Seijuurou grinned and Rin raised his eyebrows. " Then where's the clipboard?" Rin asked, looking around the bleachers to find the yellow plastic clipboard they always used for notes and attendance check. " It's in my bag." Seijuurou replied. He waved so some girls on the bleachers who had come to watch the boys swim, and they giggled and covered their mouths, blushing. Seijuurou loved the attention. He loved being looked up to, being admired, being someone's role model, crush, idol, whatever. He liked it when people looked at him with adoration in his eyes, wanting to talk to him. It made him feel heroic and strong.
Many people knew this, and they never told Seijuurou because they'd thought he'd known, but everyone had noticed that Seijuurou had started getting random bruises and other injuries on his body.
" Hey, Onii-chan, what happened to your shoulder?" Momo said one day, when they were eating dinner. " Hm?" Seijuurou turned his head to look at his shoulder, tucking his chin onto his neck and pulling down his collar to get a better view of his shoulder. " Oh- I don't know." Seijuurou said, thinking for a while. " Maybe I bumped on something?" He shrugged. " I forgot."
It happened again in class " Hey, Seijuurou, you need a bandaid there?" Seijuurou looked up from his work. His classmate, who was sitting behind him, pointed to the back of his ankle. " It's bleeding..." Seijuurou muttered. " Here." His classmate pulled a bandaid out of a small first aid bag, and Seijuurou took it with a smile. " Thanks, man. I better wear my more comfortable shoes tomorrow."
And in swimming. " Gou-chan!" Seijuurou jumped up and down and waved. " Gou-san! I'm going to do a 100 meter backstroke so pay attention when I get in the pool, okayyy??!!" " O-okay, Seijuurou-san..." " Stop talking to my sister." Rin muttered, crossing his arms. " Awe, don't be so petty." Seijuurou grinned, and pain stung his lip. " Ow..." He muttered, bringing a finger to his lip. The chapped skin on his lip had given up on him and had cracked, and his lip was bleeding a little. " Seijuurou-san, I have an extra lip balm, if you want!" Gou said, and with large sparkling eyes Seijuurou cupped his hands together and accepted it like a gift from heaven. " G-Gou-san... Thank you so much..." Rin rolled his eyes as Seijuurou started to tear up. But even after the lip balm he couldn't smile his humongous smile because his lips kept on hurting.
Today Seijuurou was supposed to take a break but he jumped into the pool anyway. There were girls in the bleachers and he did not want to dissapoint. He gracefull jumped feet first into the pull and grabbed hold of the handles of the diving platform where backstroke swimmers grasped to get ready. Then with a flick of his muscular, lean body he dove into the water. The coolness of water washed over him and the feeling of adrenaline entered his veins as he kicked both legs at the same time, bringing him back to the surface of his water. Now that his face was usually above the water, he could see the faces of pretty girls looking at him from the bleachers. He was having fun.
Suddenly, a searing pain ripped through his calf and Seijuurou almost screamed. His mouth filled with water as he writhed in pain in the water. As he grasped for support his hand closed on water but his hand soon found the rope separating the lanes. " Rin!" He yelled, coughing out water. He took a deep breath and doubled over in pain. " Hai- Senpai! Are you alri..." Rin yelled, running to the edge of the pool. Now his ribs were in terrible pain. Seijuurou was hurting and confused. He had no idea how that happened. Girls on the bleachers were squealing in fear with high pitched voices and for the first time Seijuurou wanted them to shut up. He could barely breathe with his ribs hurting like this. His vision became hazy as he weakly tried to tread water. The last thing he saw was Rin taking off his jacket and jumping into the pool.
" Oi, oi, he's waking up."
Everything was blurry at first, but Seijuurou's eyes soon focused on the people in front of him. All the faces of the swimming team stared down at him with worried eyes. " Senpai..." Nitori started, but Rin glared at him. " Don't tell him yet! Let him realize what happened first!" Nitori nodded. " My chest hurts..." Seijuurou muttered, moving his hand from his side to his chest. " Ow..." He looked at his right calf, wrapped in cast and lifted off the bed. " I don't know what happened..." " You somehow got hurt, remember, senpai!" Nitori cried, placing both his hands on Seijuurou's cheeks and rubbing them. " Senpai! Do you remember what your name is? How about mine? How many fingers am I holding up? What color is my hair?" " Shut up!" Rin snarled, and Nitori just nodded again. But Seijuurou was focused on something else now. There was someone in the next bed, at the same time surrounded by a bunch of people. " (Name), You really shouldn't play otome games when you're walking on the street!" " You shouldn't always have your earphones in! You need to pay attention to your surroundings, you know! We were so worried!" " We've been taught since kindergarten that looking at your phone when crossing the street is dangerous!" Another voice said, and Seijuurou raised his eyebrows. " You're lucky the car slowed down instead of maintaining it's speed- you're lucky your bones weren't fractured that badly. Ribcage injury and a fractured calf bone, you have to thank your luck for not letting you get sent flying down the road at 60 mph!" Seijuurou looked at Rin, and looked at his calf, and then patted his hand softly on his ribcage. Something was up. " And it's your fault for injuring him too!" A hushed voice came from the girls' side.
Something in Seijuurou's mind clicked, and he suddenly sat up to get a glance of whoever was in the next bed. Rin sighed, facepalming. " Finally he get's it." Seijuurou tried to make his neck longer but he had to lay back down because of the pain in his ribs. " My soulmate got injured..." He mumbled, turning his head to look at the next bed, but too many people were crowded around it. He laughed, and he stopped because his chest hurt, but he laughed again, and although everything hurt he was just chuckling and laughing. " I think we need to transfer this guy to a mental hospital instead." Rin muttered. " Hey, whoever almost drowned me." Seijuurou said, raising his voice a little. The people around the bed looked at him.
" Hey." A weak voice came from the bed and Seijuurou smiled. The voice was frail and shaky, but it made his grin even wider. " Ow..." He muttered, as his chapped lips started bleeding again. " Sorry." The voice said, and as people moved out of the way to let them talk, he saw that his soulmate was beautiful. Even in a white bed and bandages, he loved the face of the person who he was destined to be with forever. " Chapped lips, I know." "What happened to your shoulder?" " I bumped into a shelf." " What is wrong with your lips?!" Seijuurou asked. " I bite them when I get nervous." " What are your shoes doing to your feet?" " Oh- I forgot to wear socks." Seijuurou narrowed his eyes and frowned in confusion. How could someone forget to wear socks? He decided not to ask that question because he knew that Rin knew that he had forgotten to bring his swimming trunks to swimming practice once. " And why the hell were you playing otome games when you were crossing the street?" An awkward silence. " You're called (name), right?" Seijuurou asked, and (Name) nodded. " Yes." " I'm Seijuurou." " It's a nice name." " How are you feeling?" Seijuurou asked. " Better. And... I met you... although I can't sit up to actually get a proper look at your face..." Seijuurou chuckled. " I do hope you feel better." " Same goes for you, Seijuurou." His name sounded perfect when (Name) said it, and he couldn't help but wriggle in excitement.
Soulmates are connected in many ways, through love, through thoughts and even through pain. Little by little, soulmates feel their other's pain, and slowly they learn to live with and understand what the other person is going through.
Until the moment they meet, Soulmates are bound together by each other's injuries, letting them share the pain of something without needing to see each other.
After soulmates meet, they no longer get each other's injuries, as they are bound with something far more important than pain- they are bought tightly to each other with understanding what they have been through, which just further proves that they are destined to be together.
