Summary: “Look,” she starts before he can continue with what no doubt would have been quite the self-congratulatory monologue, “we established Mantis can manage a decent metaphor some weeks back now. Can we maybe just say what we actually mean? You suck at being single – and now you’re marginally better at it. Good for you. If I wasn’t star systems away I’d give you a pat on the head.”
The terran rolls his eyes at that. “Are you just mad because you finally have some competition? Because that is adorable. There’s no one in the galaxy that can come close to your impressive record for being… You know, I don’t think single even is the right word in your case.”
“You sound just like Mantis.”
“So she did have a talk with you before she left,” he says. In a very I knew it tone that succeeds in reminding Nebula why she used to find him so puncheable back in the day… “Knew I couldn’t have been the only one.”

“Does this mean we have a deal Mr. Parker?” Morgan asked, emulating her father’s cadence as she spoke. Her hands were on her hips, and her head was dipped down as she looked him over with scrutiny.
Rather than answer, Peter held out his hand for Morgan to shake. Apparently that wasn’t enough. He had to sign a binding contract as well. The second he scrawled his name at the bottom of the crayon inscribed document, Morgan snatched it up and laughed maniacally.

Chapter Thirteen
You feel like your eyes weigh a ton; it's hard to open them. However, the curiosity to know where those noises you're hearing come from is too great. They sound like people whispering, but you don't recognize any voices.But eventually, you finally open your eyes, coming face to face with a man. A handsome man, with a bewildered look and disheveled, bleached hair. He looks familiar, as if you've seen him before.
"Damn, you finally woke up. I can't... believe it. You have no idea how much you scared us." The man who was sitting in a clearly uncomfortable chair gets up and comes toward you. He must care a lot about you. That's all your mind says, even though everything seems like a blur now. He hugs you tightly, as if he doesn't want to let you go.
"Do you usually hug strangers in hospital rooms as if they were stuffed animals, or is that just exclusively my privilege?" You ask, pulling away from the stranger. He seems confused by your words, a confused sadness in his expression.
"But you're not a stranger. You're the woman of my..." He's interrupted by the entrance of a woman, a mature woman; around fifty years old, who has just entered your hospital room. She drops two bags of food on the floor as she rushes to your hospital bed in tears. Is she very close to you?
"My daughter, I can't believe you finally woke up. I mean, I dreamed of this day for six months, and finally, you're back." She's hugging me now, a hug as tight as the man's. He seems in shock since I said I was a stranger to him, while the woman who called me her daughter is so emotional that she hasn't noticed anything happening.
"I'll call the doctor. She doesn't... doesn't..." The man still seems unable to process it; now he just can't finish the sentence, still apparently confused. You breathe in frustration because you don't know what to say or do. Should you pretend to know who the handsome guy is because he seems like a nice guy? Should you return the hug from my potential mother? Or should you pretend to have fallen back asleep and go back to imagining faces for the voices you were hearing?
"How are you? In pain? Cold? You must be thirsty, right?" She asks so quickly that you can only nod affirmatively. Your head is muddled, but seeing her gaze at you while she covers you with a blanket is reassuring.
"So, the young lady finally decided to wake up from her beauty sleep. Know that your boyfriend and your mother have been with you since day one. In fact, there hasn't been a day you haven't been accompanied with a lot of love. But now, let's check your vital signs, and I want you to follow my finger and then look at this shiny device in my hand." The doctor enters the room along with the man who was here before. So, he's your boyfriend?
He checks you thoroughly, assesses if you're feeling your body normally, your blood pressure, your temperature. It takes a while until he informs you that you'll need to undergo more detailed tests, but as far as he can assess, you're fine. You sighed, almost relieved to hear the doctor say that, but something is wrong. You question the doctor about your memory loss. He says a neurological test will be done to assess your momentary amnesia but that it's probably a consequence of the trauma you suffered in the head at the time of the accident. You don't know how to react, whether to cry or just move on. You then ask the doctor to clarify the situation with your mother, who is outside talking to the man who could be your boyfriend. He informs that he will provide instructions on how to stimulate your memories and mentions how your recovery was almost a miracle. As soon as he leaves your hospital room, you watch him talking to your mother and boyfriend. They stand there for a few seconds, just listening to the doctor while looking apprehensive. Eventually, for some reason, the man who could be your boyfriend enters your room and sits beside your hospital bed. He remains silent for what feels like an eternal four minutes.
"So, are you really my boyfriend, or is the doctor mistaken?" You break the awkward silence with that question.
"I'm to blame. I think you should know that I'm to blame for this. For the accident. For you not remembering your life. For hurting you. Not that guilt made me stay by your side all this time. But I thought I should be the one to take the blame before Jung…" He speaks almost as quickly as you lose track of his train of thought. But another guy enters the room. A stormy entrance, he comes in and hugs you. A hug as strong as the others you received today. The guy hugging you has shorter, black hair. His scent is incredibly soothing, making you feel an odd urge to return the hug.
"I can't believe you finally woke up. I missed you so much. How could you be so reckless?" The man hugging you speaks while looking into your eyes, keeping the proximity of his body to yours.
"Let me guess, you're my second boyfriend and that's why my first boyfriend frowned when you came in?" Your tone of voice is unserious , as if you were telling a joke but both men in front of you seem to be in no mood for jokes.
"Did you tell her what you did?" The dark-haired man speaks while the bleached-haired man smiles slightly irritated.
"I knew you would say that, I was telling her about what happened." The bleached-haired one speaks quickly, interrupting your attempt to think about what to say before the two of them entered into an endless argument. You can feel that there is something very bad between the two men. You wonder if you're to blame for the tension in the air. Could these two attractive men have been in love with you?
"If you don't mind, I'd like to say that this conversation is making me uncomfortable. Honestly, I have no idea who you are, but you certainly seem to know who I am. I'd like to know if either of you wants to tell me who is who and what you have to do with me?" You say, cutting through the tension. The dark-haired one looks perplexed, while the bleached-haired one realizes that you are truly lost.
"I'm Taehyung, and he's Jungkook. And the whole confusion, Y/N, is because, somehow, you're in the middle of a complicated love triangle." Finally, you can put names to the faces in front of you and find out your name, which is a step forward, but it doesn't trigger any memories. As you suspected, you are in a love triangle, which would be exciting if you knew what you feel for Jungkook and Taehyung, but you don't.
"Correcting our dear Taehyung, you're stuck in a love square. The handsome guy there, before realizing he wanted you, was engaged. In fact, you got run over because you caught him reconciling with his fiancée." Jungkook speaks in a mocking tone, as if he wanted to attack Taehyung with his words but was pretending to be calm. You look at Taehyung, trying to figure out if Jungkook is telling the truth.
"If we're going to be brutally honest, you're in a damn love pentagon because our stud Jungkook, ever since he broke the soulmate connection with you, has been busy falling in love with every person who crosses his path. Not to mention that you guys are neighbors, so you can hear and see every new romantic conquest he has." Taehyung and Jungkook are staring at each other as if they might kill each other while you try to piece together the puzzle that seems to be your life. Then you feel a slight pain in your chest, as if you could feel your heart breaking. But after all, for whom is it breaking?
"Look, it's almost beautiful to see you summarizing what seems to be a disastrous love life, but I need some time alone. And you guys, could you not come back here for a while?" You say softly, feeling that it's the right thing to say. Both guys don't seem happy, as if they are genuinely sad.
"We can come back separately if that's the problem. We won't argue anymore." Taehyung says as Jungkook nods in agreement.
"I'll be more direct. I don't want you guys here. I want to recover without feeling like I have something to resolve. And both of you are literally walking problems that I will feel the need to solve. Enough. Whatever we had to sort out before, I don't want to remember it now. If Taehyung has a fiancée, let him get married and be happy. If Jungkook is enjoying his singledom, let him be the best single guy in the world without thinking about me. My priority is me, not you. Now, go away." You speak directly, without mincing words. For some reason, you feel proud of it.
"I'm not leaving because I want to, or because I want to enjoy the single life. But know that I'll be waiting for you." Jungkook says, getting up, kissing your cheek, and leaving while Taehyung seems to be processing what you said.
"You're not leaving…" You're not sure if you're questioning Taehyung or stating something, but he adjusts as if he's about to leave. Before he turns away, he quickly walks toward you, embracing you.
"You're the only person I can imagine marrying. No matter how many times you kick me out of your life, I'll be happy to have been rejected by you a thousand times." He says while hugging you tightly. However, you reciprocate the hug and feel a tear rolling down your eyes. Taehyung then leaves the hospital room, leaving you confused.
Chrissy Cunningham’s boyfriend had never said her words. Not once in three years.
She isn’t Jason’s soulmate either, his words still pale and gray under his basketball jacket. But that doesn’t seem to matter so much to him as the idea that he’s the one on her arm. She knows what it means - if he says her words, then there will be ultimate proof that she belongs to him. Branded onto her skin, for all the world to see.
The day her words had appeared when she was five years old was just another day for her mother to be disappointed in her. Another thing to complain about. The odd and brief sentence on Chrissy’s arm didn’t suggest a beautiful start to the kind of love story Laura wanted for her daughter. The only person who wanted her soulmate to be Jason more than Jason was her mother. Jason fits the bill: handsome, well off, going places. He’ll go to Princeton, like his father had, he’d make good money and they’d have attractive children. If Jason was her soulmate then her life would fall into place like perfectly fitting pieces of the puzzle.
Chrissy knows that if Jason hasn’t already said her words, he’s never going to.
Well, that’s not exactly true. You can know people for years before they say your words. Nancy Wheeler was in the same classes as Jonathan Byers all through middle school and high school. They were classmates and then friends while she dated Steve Harrington.
Then in their junior year, something happened. Nancy and Jonathan had matching black ink on their arms and, a short while later, Steve returned to school with yellowing bruises on his face and a right forearm that he wouldn’t show to anyone.
“They’re definitely black,” Jason had said, disgruntled that, as always, King Steve had beaten him to something. He’d spotted Steve’s arm in the showers one day after practice, a quick glimpse before Steve had pulled on a hoodie and booked it. “But he won’t say what girl said them.”
“Maybe it’s Nancy,” Carol had suggested slyly, a stream of pale smoke drifting from her mouth. She and Tommy never quite recovered from Steve’s sudden rejection. Tommy, as usual, found someone new to worship, and Carol’s bite suggested that she wasn’t as over it as she thought. “Maybe she said both of their words and picked Byers instead.”
Chrissy isn’t so sure. The system isn’t perfect - there are people with permanently gray words, others who say the words of multiple people, and even the unlucky few who have no words. But she doesn’t think that’s it. The words have to mean something, you have to feel something. Nancy wouldn’t fall in love with someone so much that she said his words, just to say Steve’s a mere week after their break up. It doesn’t work that way.
Someone else said Steve’s words. And he is desperate to keep everyone from finding out who.
The rules of soulmates say that Jason could say her words in a month, a year, five years. It’s the rules of Chrissy that say otherwise.
She thinks that love isn’t meant to feel like this.
She thinks that sanity doesn’t feel like this. The hallucination in the bathroom is the last straw. She’s tired, so, so tired. Either the nightmares keep her awake or her mother’s delicate comments do. The smaller portions on her plate every night. The taste of bile in her throat. How Jason sometimes looks at her and doesn’t really see her. That the rest of her life looks like this.
She wants to make it stop. Even if for a little while. And she only knows one way to make that happen, so she makes the trip out to the woods behind the High school.
The crunch of leaves underfoot and the bite in the air suggest that spring is still a way off for Hawkins. She tucks her sweater around her and keeps going into the rolling fog, half unsure if she’s even doing the right thing. But she’s run out of options. She’s thought about telling her mom, Jason, just anyone, about how she feels and her throat closes up before the words ever have a chance to form on her lips.
This is desperation. Of the fear that she’s losing her mind. That she might hurt herself. That something is coming to hurt her. She grips her arm through her sleeve as though the pale words might somehow save her.
I don’t want to die without meeting you.
XXX
Eddie Munson might be the first person to ask if she’s okay in a very long while.
And even more than that, watching him voluntarily vault himself backwards over the bench and brush leaves out of his hair to make her laugh, she forgets. Just for a few minutes. But she forgets.
“You know,” Chrissy says, warmth blossoming inside her chest. “You’re not what I thought you’d be like.” Eddie tugs some of his dark hair across his face, his eyes bright and teasing.
“Mean and scary?” he suggests and her stomach dips, like she’s missed a step, like the event she’s waited her whole life for just happened without her permission or forewarning.
Her arm burns underneath her jacket, something that starts down near her elbow and shoots up towards her wrist, like a piece of paper catching fire and twisting itself into gray ash. She places her left hand over her sleeve, even though Eddie has no way of knowing. He can’t see that the three words she’s looked at nearly her entire life have just turned the same shade of black as his hair.
She can’t say anything else. She has to go, just in case the next words out of her mouth are the words on his arm, that he’s meant to be hers too. Because there’s no way she can do this to him. She wanted desperately to meet her soulmate before the end and now she has. But she can’t ask him to have to live through her losing her mind. One day soon, the feral mimic that hisses nasty words and scratches at her door might just break through. She doesn’t know what she’ll do if that happens: if her own madness will cause herself harm or if there really is a devil in Hawkins. Either way, that’s a torture she won’t put on him. Despite what Chrissy has learned, love isn’t meant to hurt.
She looks up, about to make an excuse, to call this whole thing off and leave when she spots his slack jaw, the way his eyes are wide in disbelief and her stomach curdles. It’s too late.
YOU KNOW, YOU’RE NOT WHAT I THOUGHT YOU’D BE LIKE is visible even from Chrissy’s seat, scrawled across Eddie’s arm in what she recognises as her own neat penmanship. It’s now as black as the bats that are inked near his elbow. She must have said his words before he’d had a chance to realize what was happening.
He looks up at her, waiting. He can’t quite bring himself to ask her the question that he wants to but it’s written all over his face anyway.
Shaking, Chrissy pulls her arm up from her lap and tugs the material back, baring her pale skin and the words MEAN AND SCARY? scrawled in a messy, jagged print. The kind of writing you might find creating lyrics or character stats scrawled in the back of an old notebook.
Eddie stares at it, jaw working furiously. He looks as confused as she does. She wonders if he’s maybe disappointed. But when he drops back into the seat opposite her and spreads his arm alongside her’s, just to see how the words look together, she catches a glimpse of a smile.
He’s happy that his soulmate is her.
“What do we do now?” Chrissy asks, and for once her future isn’t entirely filled with uncertainty and fear.

Chapter Eleven
In the first moment, you're unsure how to react, realizing that Jungkook won't let go of your hand. Your eyes are fixed on him, as if you want to convey to him to step back. However, he seems unwilling to let you go. You wonder why he still wants to be close to you, especially since he ended your connection.
"Let me go, Jungkook. Go back to your party, and do me a favor by keeping the volume down. I don't want to involve the police in this." You speak firmly, pulling your hand away from his. Unsuccessful, you huff, looking at Jungkook with an angry glare as he watches you with a smile.
"I thought our thing would be over once the call ended, but it seems you and I have a lot of unresolved tension." Jungkook says, getting closer to you. He stares at you face to face, as if trying to provoke you.
"You think this is tension? I'll show you what tension is." You say seconds before stomping on Jungkook's foot with all your strength. The pained groan he lets out almost makes you feel sorry for him. However, you quickly manage to break free from him and open the door to your apartment. Unfortunately, he manages to recover in time to enter in your apartment with you.
"That was unnecessary." He murmurs while he looks at you with a victorious expression, even though he appears to be in pain. You look at him indignantly at his audacity.
"As if you know what is necessary or not. You just barged into my apartment uninvited. After proving to be a..." You pause for a few seconds, contemplating how to describe Jungkook in the moment.
"Being an adult and single man? Sorry if our connection misled you, but we're not married." He says very clearly. You can't deny that realizing you probably only meant something to him while you were connected hurts a bit. But he's right, at least in that part.
"That doesn't give you the right to be intrusive. If you want to party, hook up with others, or whatever the hell, that's not my problem. But this loud music in the middle of the night, while I'm trying to sleep to go to work early, is something I can and will complain about." Your gaze locks with Jungkook's as if you're ready to shut down any of his arguments.
"Are you sure that's what bothers you? Isn't it the fact that I moved on? Or that I ended what we had between us?" Jungkook retorts, smiling smugly at you.
"Don't make me laugh. There was never anything between us for you to end. We just fooled ourselves for a few days, but the truth is, we never had anything." You look at him seriously while resisting the urge to kiss him. It seems that your connection still has some effects on you.
"If that's the case, why do you still want me? Why do you want to be near me, to the point of crashing my party?" He speaks in a condescending tone. You then approach him, as if wanting to make him realize that he invaded your apartment as well.
"Screw you, Jungkook. I didn't go to your party looking for you. I went looking for peace, for the chance of having a good night's sleep. Can't you see that you came after me too? And why would I ruin the party of someone who already means nothing to me?" You smile as you see Jungkook seeming to realize the situation. In the end, both of you end up being as foolish as the other.
"Why don't you try facing reality, princess? You and I like each other, with or without the connection. The difference is, without the connection, we're allowed to like other people too." He speaks, staring at you, surprising you with his words.
"Are you telling me that you ended our connection to like other people?" You're almost speechless. Deep down, you always thought he gave up on you because of your closeness with Taehyung.
"I wasn't born to be tied to one person, Y/N. The expectations, responsibilities, and duties of a committed person don't appeal to me." Jungkook speaks with a confidence that almost makes you want to laugh in his face. So in the universe, precisely a man with commitment issues became your soulmate?
"I have to thank you. If you weren't so self-centered and selfish, I would actually be stuck with my worst nightmare. Thank you for freeing me from you." you say, getting very close to him, as if wanting to make your feelings clear. A slight mischievous smile appears on Jungkook's face, leaving you puzzled.
"You should thank me for freeing you from responsibility. You don't want to be only with me, and I know it. I'll even accept it. I made it possible for you to be with Taehyung without feeling guilty." You don't know how to react to what he's saying. In reality, it's hard for you to concentrate on what he's saying while he's so close. You're seconds away from getting lost in Jungkook's gaze.
"You must think I'm foolish. Do you think I don't know that you did this so you could be with anyone without worrying about me?" You speak, trying to compose yourself, taking a step back while attempting to appear confident.
"The only person I want to be with right now is you. Even if you hardly believe that." Your eyes meet, as if for a moment, all the tension between you two becomes immeasurable.
"You're right about that. I don't believe anything you're saying..." You say it almost in a whisper, trying not to lose your train of thought, but it's too late. Surprising both of you, you end up kissing Jungkook. Without a concrete explanation, your body approached his, and your lips moved toward his. A very brief kiss. You kiss him as if kissing a forbidden fruit. But quickly, you pull back from the kiss you initiated. It's as if you're waiting for his reaction to figure out what to do next.
"You say one thing and do another. Your luck is that your madness makes me extremely excited." Jungkook says, kissing you with more intensity. It seems like he's wanting to lose himself in you, or maybe even find himself in you. You reciprocate the kiss, feeling butterflies in your stomach. It's as if it makes you feel alive, even though you know that you and Jungkook definitely aren't right for each other.
Unfortunately, you're interrupted by a female voice knocking on the door, yelling for Jungkook — you then feel like the world is calling you back to reality. You step away from Jungkook, feeling awkward, while he seems a bit regretful. You just don't know if he regrets the kiss or his party.
"I believe that's your irresponsibilities calling you. After all, you weren't born to be tied to anyone." You say, a mix of sarcasm and a hint of bitterness in your voice. Jungkook seems hesitant, unsure if he should stay or leave. When the woman yells again, he decides to leave your apartment. Without saying anything, he just looks at you, as if wanting to convey something. You then decide to go lie down, even though you might not be able to sleep due to the noise and the fact that you kissed Jungkook after spending the night with Taehyung. You have no idea what this means emotionally for you.
