Ever since he was a young cookie, Wizard Cookie has been interested in the Stars. More specifically, how souls are bound together. Is there an explanation for it? The young wizard has always tried his best to research into it, although it was always useless. No one had an answer that satisfied him. It was all unknown information, apparently.
Because of this, many cookies picked on him, along with his appearance. Before getting picked on, he used to wear starry clips in his hair, showing his vibrant purple right eye and his cerulean blue left eye. He used to wear a navy blue robe with white accents, that came with a hood he occasionally covered his white hair with. He was proud of the small birthmark shaped like a cartoon-like star, under his mouth
After the bullying, he started covering his face more, he started covering his right eye, he started wearing a scarf so he could cover more of his face as well as his birthmark. He was self conscious of his appearance.
However, when he was 8, his life changed. When he and GingerBrave first met. Everything felt.. different. The brave cookie had taught him plenty, despite him being rather knowledgeable already. Although, what he was taught was different to what he was used to. He was taught that it didn't matter what people thought of him. He was taught that he didn't have to worry about how he presented himself, as long as he was happy. He was taught that he looked beautiful, no matter what people told him.
And, so, the young wizard stopped caring about what everyone thought about his appearance. He started clipping his hair back with starry clips, again. He started showing his mouth, again. He covered his face less.
He still wore his scarf, it was a comfort for him. He started wearing a hat resembling an ice cream cone, although the top half was a dark navy blue with yellow stars decorating it, and there were star charms hanging off from the bottom of the hat. He started wearing a robe decorated with stars and constellations, looking at it felt as though you were looking into space.
He often asked GingerBrave his thoughts on fate and how souls are bound together. Often, he'd be met with the response, "Well, I believe that souls are bound together by an unknown force, although there are many possibilities! Besides, I feel like there's more to life than how souls are bound together! Although, it would be interesting to find out who my soulmate is, if I have one.."
Of course, the wizard never minded that response. It was much better than everyone in his youth saying that it was silly and unimportant. GingerBrave made him feel seen. GingerBrave made him feel heard. GingerBrave made him feel important.
The dreams started around 4 years later, when he was 12.
At first, they confused him.
The dreams depicted him and GingerBrave, dancing majestically in outer space. They had a red string connecting them to each other. What did that mean? The wizard had no idea. Perhaps this was what the information was longing for? The way strings connected their souls together, a force stronger than any other.
Perhaps this was fate?
The wizard had but one question on his mind, every time he awoke from his slumber: What did it mean? Why was there a red string connecting him and GingerBrave? What did the red string mean?
Sure, he had to admit, he had developed a slight crush on the brave one.. but, could that possibly be interlinked with the meaning of the string?
As the years went by, his understanding grew stronger. The dreams got more descriptive, as his feelings grew stronger. He understood, now. This was his destiny. He and GingerBrave, their souls tethered together by a red string, were destined as soulmates.
By the age of 15, his dreams had become beautiful.
Together in the vastness of space, GingerBrave and Wizard danced perfectly in sync with each other, the string wrapping around them comfortably as they closed the distance. Their movements were perfectly balanced, it was like an intergalactic waltz between soulmates. Fingers interlocked, impeccable eye contact, warm gazes shared. Eventually, there was no distance between them, their lips meeting in an electrifying kiss that made the string reach the brightest it can. Everything felt perfect, everything felt right. This was his destiny. To be with GingerBrave was to be at peace.
Every morning after those dreams, he smiled to himself. It seemed he fell more in love as the days went by.
On the 7 year anniversary of him and GingerBrave meeting, he had planned on confessing.
They met up at their favourite stargazing spot, the brave cookie leaned against the shorter one. The shorter one pointed out constellations, telling the taller all about them.
When he felt the time was right, he confessed his love to the brave one. Blushing profusely, the brave one admitted he felt the same.
Under the watchful eyes of the stars, the two share a sweet kiss, their bodies filling with a pleasant electricity. This was their destiny. Two cookies, their souls tethered with the red string belonging to soulmates, finding each other and falling in love. Just as they were meant to.
