"Yer pretty gutless, ain't ya?"
"Well, we can't all be meatheads, you know."
Soulmate identifying marks, where a person is born with the first words their soulmate says to them on their skin. These words are written in the soulmates handwriting. The marks are black until they're spoken by the soulmate, and then they turn vibrant colours. The colours are believed to be the colours of the two souls combined.

Summary
Everyone wishes that their soulmarks were unique, or romantic. Not a lot of people get those things. Akaashi has soulmarks that are romantic as hell. But they're also not something someone would normally say to someone they've just met. Which means that Akaashi doesn't really believe them for a second.
Bokuto's words are decidedly not romantic. They are however, a little concerning. Bokuto grows up worried about his soulmate, he wonders what has happened to make it so that his soulmate thinks so little of himself. The older he gets, the more true that is.

He's locked away that part of himself, the hopes and frustrations of his soulmarks failure to show up when it should have. He wouldn't be thinking about it all, except that the chat during his livestream is suddenly going crazy. How is he meant to handle all of this?
