Crack fic, huddle for warmth, slow burn, soulmate AU
Meg's eyes opened, her body frozen to the touch. Despite the numbing cold she could feel warmth holding her. With the little movement she could do she looked up, Calvin’s ginger hair was in her sight. She attempted to open her mouth to speak, “c- c- Calvin?” She spoke similarly to Mrs.Which. Calvin looked down at her with his… cerulean orbs. Calvin shushed her softly, making sure that she didn’t move too much due to the possible hypothermia. Eventually Aunt Beast came to their rescue but Calvin refused to let go, their bodies almost frozen together. They both laid in bed, unmovable, together. Meg was okay with it as long as they were together. (As friends.) eventually their bodies thawed. Calvin’s hand was still frozen to Meg’s despite the ability to move it was now optional. It was clear what choice Calvin made. Meg cuddled close to him, her body felt like it was being stabbed by a hundred needles at once. Calvin gently massaged Meg, feeling came back to her body but she didn’t want to move. Calvin was SUCH A GOOD FRIEND!
Time passed, they didn’t say a word. Till Aunt Beast came in, “in my world they would call you umphefumlo womphefumlo.” Calvin looked up with slight judgement in his cerulean spheres of sight. Meg let out a soft laugh before she became serious. “Where is…. FATHER?” she squealed. Calvin jumped in fear. (Quite the height for a jump, he was a basketball player after all.) Calvin stood up and brushed his toe hairs. Aunt beast smiled, “what sweet young abathandanayo.” Calvin looked at Aunt beast and finally asked, “what are you saying?” Calvin didn’t like when he couldn’t understand someone, especially when communicating was his speciality. Aunt beast locked in, “soulmates. You two are binded together in a way that no one can reverse, not through death or through the BLACK thing. that’s why you were chosen to tesser together. You shall always be together, through heart or through solar connections.” That made Meg’s heart blossom in warmth, enough warmth for her to grab Calvin’s toe hairs. They were connected. Through toe hairs.
It took years for Meg to get on her knee and propose to Calvin. For them to become soulmates through wedlock. Aunt beast was the officiant. Meg’s wedding ring was made out Calvin’s toe hairs. The true connection through the story was the growing hairs placed on his foot appendages.
