Chapter Text
It was Quintons 15th birthday, and they were nervous. Well they wouldnt say they were nervous, if anyone asked they would say they didn't care very much and the whole soulmate color thing was very stupid. It didn't mean anything really if you asked them, but that would be a lie. They did care. You never knew who it could be that would share your color, if you would ever meet them or if they would even like you. You hear all these perfect tales of love and finding your soulmate but how could you know that would happen to you. Quinton did tell their best friend Zander these fears one late night at a sleepover once everyone else had finally fallen asleep around 2am. Zander looked at Quinton with his caring hopefilled eyes and said " don't worry Quinton, I bet you find your soulmate within a few months of getting your color! And I just know they are going to love you."
It was the start of the party, all Quintons friends had just arrived, the speakers was blaring a playlist of Asteria and Linkin Park it was fun, so fun Quinton forgot about their soulmate for a bit. But then it was time to cut the cake, and that's when the soulmate color was to be revealed. One of Quintons friends made a joke about this being like a gender reveal and a few people laughed including Quinton. Then the candles were lit and everyone began singing Quinton felt the changes start. It was like a tingling in their scalp with a cool magic feeling washing over them as a strip of their hair changed colors as they blew out the candles. "Look at that, that's such a pretty color on you!" Ace said smiling and pointing to Quintons new purple streak of hair. Quintons heart sank as they saw the color, they didn't know anyone with purple well except their 2 other friends but they were already soulmates and it was a different purple.
