Chapter Text
(Are we playing swords?) would be his soul mate's first words to him. Tattooed on his right shoulder blade was the strange inquiry. Woke up to it when he turned 18 like clockwork. Sonny was at least thankful that it wasn't something generic or anything embarrassing but he can't really imagine a scenario where he would be asked that question.
Uki suggests that it might be said in a sexual manner and had graciously offered to arrange orgies for him but he refused and informed his soft purple friend that he wants to meet his soulmate naturally without any intervention or orgy planning from anyone.
And by naturally he means cleverly devising a situation that would most likely make his cute underclassman say the lines to him. They somehow hadn't said anything to each other for over a year which was weird since not only were they in the same VA club, Alban also works in a convenience store Sonny frequents. No greetings or thank you just a whole lot of smiling.
When they first met it was actually when the poor cat was sick and manning the cashier. Sonny was in line and after hearing soft "irasshaimase" and "Thank you, come again"s he just wanted to root for the kid to get better. So when he picked his midnight snack up he signaled for the boy to stop talking so he could rest his throat.
Heterochromatic eyes just stared at him, confused. Sonny puts a finger in his lips to shush the boy and Alban did so obediently. He scanned the items which was just ramen and water. Sonny pointed at his food and at the hot water behind the counter. It took a second but when it hit, Alban nodded in excitement. He was excited he understood the task. They were not to talk.
The way he moved in his excited way made Sonny want to continue their little game. When Alban returned with his noodles he just stood there and signaled to wait while pointing to his phone in which he already started a timer in. Alban nodded in determination as he understood he was being made to wait till the noodles were ready. They just stood there staring and giggling to themselves with how clever they both are.
In hindsight Sonny thought he should have put the timer for an hour. It felt like only a second passed and he wanted to keep staring at the cashier so in panic of whether he should leave and eat or just stay there, he started to just eat at the counter. For that, he panicked again and offered a spork of noodles to the cashier. Alban smiled at him and pointed at himself as if to ask if Sonny's offering it to him.
Sonny turned red at what he was doing and averted his gaze for a sec. He gestured at his throat and putting the back of his hand in his forehead then a thumbs up. A code excuse to say that it the hot noodles would be good for his sickness. Quickly putting the plastic spork in front of Alban's face to hide his embarrassment, Alban tilted his head and sipped it but jerked when the soup proved to be too hot for him.
He jumped around while fanning his tongue without any sound and Sonny was miming actions like bowing for apology, blowing on it, and turning on a faucet all the while jumping unconsciously just because Alban was. They only stopped when the doors rang to see a weirded out drunk guy just staring at them.
They met again in the VA club Sonny was leading at the university. They knew each other's name because of self-introductions for the whole club but they still kept at the whole not saying anything game. It was fun but Sonny understood that the universe set this up to give him a chance to make Alban say his tattooed lines.
Which he knows will be today in this moment for sure. He ordered plastic swords for the VA club with the excuse of immersion in practicing mediaeval scripts. He was hyping this up for everyone in the club so he knew Alban was going to be excited. He set it up so that right now he and Alban would be receiving the packages alone. And surely Alban will be so excited that he'll question in exclaim: "*Gasps* Guns in the mediaeval era!!?"
Yup, all according to pl- WAIT WHAT.
"That's not the line~!" Sonny blurted out. Alban looked at him before it dawned that this was what his first words to Sonny and that was what the blond was referring to.
"Wait...were you trying to get me to say your line!!??" Alban accused in a full blush.
"No! I would never!!Who would do such a thing!!?? Anyways I have an orgy to go to so,,, uh- yeah see you later." He said while sprinting out the room.
