Cupid calling

Summary:

Bambi [15/01/2026, 17:46]
Hey :)

Bambi [16/01/2026, 16:23]
Ah, yes
Just my luck
My soulmate ignoring me
Sounds weirdly prophetic

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:31]
i’m not your soulmate

*

Hopeless romantic Jamal gets matched with Michael through Munich University ephemeral Cupid app. Perhaps not the most enthusiastic candidate, but Jamal is nothing if not motivated.

Notes:

Hello! This is a light-hearted fic that I will be updating every day so buckle up :)) The story is all planned out, and I will be updating the tags as it goes. No heavy themes are on the menu and it will definitely have a very happy ending ;)

Enjoy!

 

(Also: I just found out there's an actual book called Cupid calling lmao so to clarify, the two stories have nothing to do with each other as I haven't read that book!)

(See the end of the work for more notes and other works inspired by this one.)

Bambi [15/01/2026, 17:46]

Hey :)

 

 

Bambi [16/01/2026, 16:23]

Ah, yes

Just my luck

My soulmate ignoring me

Sounds weirdly prophetic

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:31]

i’m not your soulmate

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:39]

Ah, yes

Just my luck

My soulmate ignoring me and rejecting me

All without having even met me

I'm not loving this prophecy

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:42]

because i’m not

your soulmate

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:43]

Cupid would disagree

There’s a reason we were matched, you know?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:45]

yeah

a randomized algorithm

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:46]

Ah, yes

Just my luck

My soulmate ignoring me, rejecting me AND not having a romantic bone in his body

I didn’t waste 30min of my life answering that long-ass form for you to tell me it was for nothing

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:47]

pretty sure it was

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:47]

Then we’re two losers who lost 30min of their time

Match made in heaven :-)

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:48]

actually no

just you

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:48]

What

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:48]

i didn’t fill that form

or sign up for this stupid shit

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:49]

And yet here you are

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:49]

bc of my stupid friend

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:49]

Your friend signed you up for this?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:50]

this fucker pretended his phone died

asked for mine to play chess during class

next thing i know bambi is texting me

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:50]

Your friend is hilarious for that

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:51]

he thinks so too

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:51]

Did he also pick your username?

The cat thing

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:52]

yes

obviously

who tf would willingly pick an animal for a name

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:52]

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:52]

right

…you picked that yourself?

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:54]

Ah, yes

Just my luck

My soulmate ignoring me, rejecting me, not having a romantic bone in his body

And also being mean

I’m starting to hate this prophecy

 

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:55]

again

not your soulmate

but i’m not mean

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:55]

There is room for doubt

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:55]

ok shakespeares

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:56]

See?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:56]

how was that mean

that was more like a compliment wasn’t it

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:57]

And now you’re being sarcastic

Ngl it’s not looking great Kitty

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:58]

i don’t do sarcasm

and don’t call me that ew

Bambi [16/01/2026, 21:59]

Literally how else should I call you

You’re not giving me much to work with

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 21:59]

you can just

not call me

i’m not calling you bambi am i

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:00]

I don’t mind

My friends call me that

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:00]

isn’t the whole purpose of this thing to remain anonymous

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:00]

So you DID read the rules

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:01]

more like i couldn’t escape it

this shit was all over campus

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:02]

Right

Well, it’s just my very close friends calling me this in private

Not really like a known thing

The odds of that nickname giving me away are low

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:02]

but not zero

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:03]

I guess

But that would require my soulmate actually being interested in finding me out

Wouldn’t it

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:04]

true

so you’re safe

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:04]

I thought so

Well

At least I got the chance to chat for a bit with my soulmate

Not many can say the same

I guess I can die happy

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:05]

you’re so dramatic

when will you ever let the soulmate thing go

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:05]

Why would I?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:05]

uh

randomized algorithm? remember?

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:06]

That’s your theory

I choose the more romantic option to believe in

Your friend must have filled the form when he signed you up, didn’t he?

And he probably knows you well

So

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:07]

jesus

my friend is an idiot

and so are you

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:07]

Ok Grumpy Kitty

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:08]

ew

i promise you

us matching is no cupid work

maybe the devil

but most likely ai

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:09]

Same thing

But also

I’m the dramatic one?

Why can’t you just accept that based on 60-something embarrassing questions we were found to be each other’s ideal match

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:09]

do we look like a good match to you

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:09]

Idk what you look like

So

Bit hard to say

But based on vibes, I’d say we got chemistry ;-)

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:10]

i’ve literally just been fencing you off for about an hour

chemistry where

i hope you’re not a science major

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:11]

See? You already care about me

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:12]

no

i care about our future scientists not being washed

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:12]

Looked like a crafty way to find out what my major is to me

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:13]

you’re delusional

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:13]

Just admit it

You’re curious about your soulmate too

:-)

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:13]

literally

no

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:13]

!!! you didn’t deny us being soulmates

I call that progress

Character development even

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:14]

you might be the most annoying person i’ve ever met

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:14]

Aw

Is that your way of telling me you want us to meet?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:16]

i swear i’m gonna kill my friend

not only did he trick me to sign me up for this shit

but he also filled my form with the most horrid answers and got me matched with a delusional idiot

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:17]

Actually I think you should thank him

Probably not many people out there who could handle such a grumpy kitty as their soulmate

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:17]

ew

ew

ew

do not

call me that

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:17]

Grumpy kitty? Or soulmate?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:17]

smartass

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:18]

Heheh

So why did your friend pick a cat as your username

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:19]

idk

ask him

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:19]

Bit difficult for me to do isn’t it

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:19]

then i guess we’ll never know

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:20]

I mean

I can kind of see it honestly

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:21]

i don’t think you see shit actually

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:22]

I do

Just an hour texting you and I see it

Very clearly

Want me to tell you what i see? ;-)

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:22]

no

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:22]

A very cute, very grumpy kitty

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:23]

i said no

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:23]

That was a rhetorical question

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:24]

right

you know what i see?

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:24]

The love of your life?

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:24]

an annoying, delusional idiot

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:25]

Close enough

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:25]

you have issues

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:26]

My friends tell me I’m a pretty stable and healthy person actually

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:26]

the same friends who call you bambi?

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:26]

>:-(

What’s your point

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:26]

nevermind

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:26]

That’s what I thought

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:28]

ok well

was nice talking to you and all

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:28]

Knew you’d come around

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:28]

you didn’t let me finish

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:28]

Mb go on

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:29]

i gotta go

so

good luck with your quest of love or whatever

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:30]

Oh

Right

Good night soulmate

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:30]

ew

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:31]

Dream of me :-)

🐈‍⬛ [16/01/2026, 22:32]

ew ew

Bambi [16/01/2026, 22:33]

<3
