Summary
Dick learns about Soulmates when he's four-years-old. He thinks they're wonderful, and instant best friend.
When he's fifteen he learns how wrong he was.
“Dej, why don’t I have any marks?”
“Well, Soulmates come to you when fate deems you need them most.” His mother said, as she had brushed his hair away from his face.
“Why can’t we be Soulmates?” Dick wined, dramatically falling into his parents' bed.
She'd let out a lilting laugh, one Dick swears he’ll remember for the rest of his life. “It’s very rare for parents to share a Soulmark with their child.”
Dick pouted. “What if I don’t have a Soulmate?”
His mother flopped on the bed next to him. “You will, Love.”
“But I’ve met so many people Dej!” Dick pointed out. “Shouldn’t I have met one by now?”
“Patience Little Robin.” His mother said and kissed his cheek. “You have so much life in front of you, there's no need to rush fate. When you need them, they will be there. And I know you’re going to have so many, that there won't be an inch of clear skin on you!”
