It’s been a while since you and Solivan began dating, and yet you guys act like you’ve dated for like a year. He would always magically find the thing you were looking for the past thirty minutes or so, immediately knows what you're referring to, and cooks your favorite meal or even a meal that you mention once that you wanted to try. You would always make him laugh at your stupid jokes, clean the mess he left in the kitchen whether he asks or not, and understands what he needs without him even saying it.
You didn’t believe that you would have a soulmate or even soulmates in general were even true, well– that’s what you’ll say 2 years ago. Now you truly believe that Sol is your soulmate.
Before even dating, after the art project you guys would text after. Talking about shows you watched, the fandom that you both are in, movies recommendation, latest controversy, literally everything. There wasn’t a thing called “Too much Information” between you guys, as you both were just open and honest.
So it wasn’t surprising when you told your friends that you and Sol were officially dating, as they expected it from how much you both would openly flirt with each other. Making you feel stupid now noticing how he was obviously giving you hints, even before dating you.
‿̩͙⊱༒︎༻♱༺༒︎⊰‿̩͙
Right now you were laying on your bed, hands on your phone just scrolling mindlessly on TikTok. Sol is comfortably laying on top of you, his head on your chest hearing your heartbeat and his arms wrapped around you. Blanket layed on top of him, covering the both of you well kind of since Sol is tall, he was near the edge of the bed.
You had your volume down, considering Sol was asleep. And maybe the world too since it was 12:23 PM right now, you weren’t worried for tomorrow since you don’t have any classes since the weather was getting bad and they didn’t wanna risk their students getting hurt (Wow, the school is really considerate for the first time) and decided to close school for a while before the temperature seems manageable.
Sol had crashed at your place as he felt lazy to go back to his own apartment. You didn’t mind since you had nothing else to do when you got home, other than just rotting on your bed with your phone.
Mid-scroll you felt your stomach rumble, making you remember that you haven’t eaten today. Other than what Sol had packed for you, but that was for lunch. It was hours ago, but the problem is what restaurants are open right now. You are 100% not gonna cook, and you don’t want to make Sol do it.
‘What stores are open right now…’ searching on your web browser, you scrolled through to find most of the stores closed. Up until you saw IHOP it's a 24 hour IHOP, not only that it's 15 minutes down the road from you. That's where you are gonna feast on tonight.
“Sol, Sol, Sol, bae, boo, loser boy–” You said whispering to Sol, “I’m hungry, wanna go to Ihop with me? Say yes or no, or I’ll leave your ass” Sol took a deep breath, now suddenly being woken up.
Sol removed his arms under you and rubbed his eyes before moving his head to face you, “What?” he’s half asleep right now, you can tell by his voice,
“Ihop, me and you– yes or no?” You said pointing your thumb at yourself and pointing at him.
He closed his eyes, making decisions in his head. “Sure, why the hell not”
“Okai, get dressed then” You said happily, ruffling his head. Purposely making it messier–but he doesn’t know that.
The ride to IHOP was nice, there weren't many cars out. Other than you and Sol fighting over who gets to play their music, in the end you both seem to forget that you both have a shared playlist. Up until you pulled up to the parking lot when you saw it, making you both laugh while leaving the car.
You had on your favorite hoodie and your [fav character] PJ’s, which Sol also has a pair of and is wearing it right now. As he wanted to match, but he has a simple black jacket rather than a hoodie. The wind blows fresh cold air on your face, which makes you shiver. Making you walk faster to the door. You reach it first, leading you to open it for Sol, as he gives you a “Thank you, your majesty” while purposely slowing down as he walks in. with that you kick him on the legs and push him inside. “I’m freezing my ass over here, get yo ass inside”
With the sudden entrance door opening, it didn’t take long before a worker came in greeting you. Sol stood beside you, holding your cold hands.
“Hello, table for two?” Said the nice lady, she reached for menus and utensils.
“Mhm”
“Okie darlin’, follow me” With a smile she walked further into the IHOP, right behind her was you and Sol following quietly. In the end, she led you to a booth near the window. Settling down the menus and your utensils on either side as both of you slid in.
“I’m Natalie, I’ll be y'all severe today, what would you like to drink for today?” pulling out her notepad and pen to get ready to write it down. You skimmed your eyes on the drink items, before seeing they were offering Hot chocolate.
“Can I get hot chocolate” you said happily, putting down the menu to face her.
“Good decision darlin’, and for you hun?” she commented before moving to Sol. Who was also looking on the menu before dropping it to order.
“Uh, can I also get a hot chocolate–But I don’t want whipped cream on it.” Sol replied with a small smile.
“You got that hun, okay- Would you like a few minutes before ordering?” She said, pushing the end of the pen down making it snap sound.
“Yes please”
“Okay, I’ll come back with your drinks!” With that she left.
“What are you gonna get pumpkin?” Sol asks as he glances at the menu, he sees you pounder on two menu items.
“Uh– Good question, I want a chocolate chip pancake but also I want crepe combo…Fuck, I don’t know what to get? Which one should I get?” You mumbled, thinking which one would make your hunger go away. Flipping both on the two menu items you mention before looking up to see Sol pounder with you.
“Huh, hmm…How about you get a crepe combo and if you're still not full you can order the chocolate chip pancake. If you're full then I’ll make you the chocolate chip pancake when you're hungry again,” Sol happily offered, seeing that it seemed reasonable for you to get what you wanted.
“Fuck, your so smart–Why I haven’t thought of that? You’re the best boyfriend I could ever ask for” You said seeing now that’s a win-win in your book. You are able to eat a crepe and pancake. See, this is why you love your Boyfriend.
This caused Sol to be flustered, mumbling on your comment. He scratched the side of his chin while glancing away. That's when he saw his hair, he didn’t brush it thinking it was calm since he brushed it before laying on you. That's when he remember that you ruffled his hair when he was waking up.
Seeing that he noticed, you let out a giggle as he embarrassingly fixed his hair. Pulling his long fingers between his black and green hair, as he didn’t have his hair up– he was too lazy to do so.
“How dare you let me walk out of the apartment like this…” He scowled, although he didn’t care what others think or see his alternative appearance, he did care to look good with you. You told him he can be quote-on-quote, “A bum” around you and you’ll still love him(True). But he still tries, maybe it’s out of habit?
“I don’t know what you're talking about?” you said, acting all confused. Before Sol could retaliate, Natalie came back with the drinks.
“Alrightie, here is y'all drink,” She happily interrupted as she set the drinks in front of you both, “Now, have you guys decided to order?”
“Yeah, we are ready” You said happily as you pushed your hot chocolate towards you, taking a small lick on the whip cream. As Sol also reached for his but watched you take a lick.
“Okay love, what would you like?”
“Can I get a combo crepe? Oh, also can you drown the crepe with more chocolate syrup? Please?” You asked shyly not knowing whether or not she even can do that.
Natalie nodded as she scribbled it down, “Of course! it’s only just you guys, I’m sure no one would care or complain. Now, what about you hun?” facing Sol now, in which he acted like he was glancing at the menu before speaking.
“A waffle combo please”
“Okay, and that's all?” Natalie asked, looking at both of you to see if it is. Only to see you both happily nod, “Okay, I’ll be back with your food”
You talked as Sol, instantly listened. Talking about a new show of Minecraft ARG you’ve found, sharing how funny it was and you both should watch the mega compilation of it together. But quickly you notice how he was glancing at your lip, making you pause before asking him if you had something on your face.
“Oh? Um, you have a lil’ whipped cream right here” Sol said, pointing at the corner of his lip. Point out where it was on you, making you put your hand up at the same spot.
“Oh, I didn’t even notice” you muttered before whipping it towards your mouth with your thumb.
Sol felt like you did it in slow motion to provoke him by how you glanced at him while doing it, letting his imagination go crazy.
“Thinkin’ hard right now huh?” you laughed, seeing his red ears and cheeks. Making him couch and asking you to continue on your rant.
When you finish with your rant, on que your food arrives. Natalie gently settled down the food on the table, pushing yours towards you and Sols in his direction.
“Here you go, enjoy! If you need me, just scream! Jus’ kiddin’, I’ll hear you guys when you’ll call me out” She said jokingly, before taking her leave to do whatever she needs.
“Gosh, I'm so hungry!” you uttered before digging in your food, Sol nods in agreement.
Between bites you continue talking, Sol replies back when he notices your mouth was full of food. Then he started talking about his interest too, making you happily chew as you hear him out.
Hot chocolate with crepes was a delicious combo, although it's unhealthy. But who cares!
It didn’t take you long before you guys finished your food, feeling stuffed to the brim. Calling out to Natalie for the check, she walked towards you ready in hand with the check. You were going to pull out your wallet in your pocket before Sol butted in.
“Oh! No [Reader], I’ll pay” Sol interrupted, somehow already having his card out handing it to Natalie who was about to comment on how nice it was for him to pay. Only for you to stop Sol by pushing his arm down and ushering Natalie to take yours.
“No, no, no– I can’t allow that, I invited you here. It’s only right for me to pay” You exclaimed to Sol before facing Natalie, “Charge my card please”
“Nuh-uh, what kind of boyfriend do you think I am? Here Natalie, charge mine” Sol push back from your hand to jester to Natlie to take his. Before she can even take his, you cut in.
“Natalie, don’t fall for his tricks! It’s my duty as his partner to pay for my invite” You whispered, now both cards are being shoved to her face making her hesitate. Seeing that you glance at Sol.
“You know, there’s only one way to settle this…” Giving Sol the eye, making him get your signal.
“Rock, paper and scissors!” you both said united, putting your card down to get ready for the battle. This made Natalie laugh before getting into character, “Best to three?”
You and Sol nodded, making her say okay than ordering you both to put your hands under the table to get ready to shoot fairly.
“Ready? Rock…Paper, scissor anddd–Shot!”
_______
In the end it was you who paid, making Sol hunch over in pain as he lost. Natalie laughed as she charged your card, since she found this amusing and cute. After getting ready to leave, she walked you to the door.
“Bye love birds! Come back again please!” Natalie called out as she watched you both open the door to leave, making you laugh and give her a thumbs up as Sol ushers you to hurry up and leave in embarrassment.
The ride back home was quiet, not in a weird way but in a comfortable way. Sol phone was connected, playing your shared playlist as he was getting sleepy from the ride and from the food coma that was coming.
As you pushed your apartment door open, locking it behind you as you followed Sol who breezed in the dark as if it was his own home, towards your bedroom to slam himself on your bed. Kicking off his shoes and getting under the covers before flipping it over for you to join. You took your hoodie off, revealing your t-shirt and then took off your shoes to slide under the covers with him. Snuggling up against him, wrapping your arms around him as he puts your head under his chin. Sniffing his comforting scent, making you happily close your eyes.
“Night Sol, love you”
“Night [Reader], Love you more”
With that you both allowed the food coma to get to you.
