Zo walked towards their next class with nary a thought in the world, stopping by the coffee shop in the same building for a quick pick-me-up before they truly started their day. Along the way, they saw numerous couples, all of whom they gave a passing glare towards.

On Zo’s 18th birthday, they received a polaroid of a person said to be their soulmate. No one knew how or why these pictures were sent, nor how these pictures were taken, but it just became an accepted part of society, like gendered bathrooms and saying “how are you” when you don’t actually care. Every one of their friends went through the same ordeal on their 18th birthdays, and each one would find their soulmates not too long after.

Not Zo, though. They were now 21 years old and still on the search for their soulmate. Many people tried to reassure them that something like this could take a bit longer than they would have hoped, but they didn’t think it was fair that they’d been waiting for 3 years at this point and their best friend found her soulmate in one of their mutual friends.

Zo didn’t even recognize the man in the picture; it looked like something you’d find at a drunken frat party. The only thing Zo knew about the guy was that he had blue eyes, a scruffy beard, and curly hair. He also looked decently tall, too; probably had a few inches on Zo, and was wearing glasses in the picture. They kept the polaroid in the back of their phone, just in case, though they were wondering if they’d ever find the man in the picture at this rate. Perhaps they’d be a grandpa by the time they found him. The thought sent shivers down their spine in a bad way.

Zo walked through the doors of the coffee shop, surprised with how many couples were here too. Maybe it had something to do with how there was a Valentine’s Day sale? They didn’t bother to check, considering they wouldn’t have benefited from it anyway.

When it was their turn to order, they got their usual.

“Hi, can I please get a latte macchiato with a dash of caramel syrup?”

“That’s quite a unique coffee order,” the stranger behind them chuckled.

They turned around to find a decently tall, handsome man who was smiling softly at them. Zo chuckled back.

“Trust me, I’ve seen worse,” they replied, pulling out their wallet so they could pay.

“Oh? Do you work at a coffee shop or do you just know people with crazy coffee orders?”

“I’m a barista back home,” they said, stepping out of the way so he could order himself. “Nice local coffee shop, kind of like this one.”

“What’s the craziest one you’ve had to make?” he said after finishing up his order, his hands going into his pockets nonchalantly.

“Gotta be that one guy who ordered 15 shots of espresso and nothing else. Dude must've been exhausted.”

The man laughed a hearty laugh. “Wow, that’s crazy.”

“Are you new around here? I don’t think I’ve seen you on campus before.”

“Yeah, I just transferred not too long ago. I’m Noah. Nice to meet you.” He extended a hand out for Zo to shake, to which they took in kind.

“I’m Zo. Nice to meet you too.”

“Latte Macchiato with Caramel Syrup for Zo?” one of the workers announced.

“Oop. That’s me. Gotta run, I’m gonna be late to class.”

Zo grabbed the coffee and saluted Noah.

“See you around.”

“Bye, Zo.”

Zo sprinted out of the coffee shop into the halls before stopping suddenly, thinking through the details of that stranger’s- Noah’s face. Blue eyes (they looked slightly green in the right lighting), a scruffy beard, curly hair, tall man. He was even wearing glasses today. Zo looked closer at the polaroid and the answer became as clear as day. They ran back into the coffee shop and hoped to see if Noah was still there.

He was.

“You,” they said to him.

He chuckled. “Yep. I was kind of waiting for you to notice.”

Zo held the polaroid up to Noah’s face to confirm. It was true. It only took three and a half years, but Zo finally found their soulmate. In a coffee shop, no less. They wondered if this was God playing a sick and twisted game on them, which would have been funny had they not been Atheist.

“How long have you known?”

“For a while now,” he admitted, scratching the back of his hair nervously.

“But… how?”

“Well, I saw you on campus a while ago when I first got here, but I wasn’t quite sure it was you. But the more I saw you around, walking without a care in the world, the more apparent it became.”

Noah held up a small polaroid picture that was unmistakably Zo at one of their birthday parties. They even had cake in their mouth and was laughing about something. They remembered that day like it was yesterday. It was one of their happiest days, even though they’ve had multiple happiest days in their lifetime.

“You know,” he chuckled, continuing his speech. “I’ve had this picture in my wallet for years now. I always thought I’d die of old age before I found the cutie in this picture.”

“And yet, here I am,” Zo smiled.

Zo’s watch suddenly started beeping, an alarm that told them they would be late to their next class if they didn’t start moving right this second. Their eyes widened, their mouth settling into a frown.

“Oh, shoot. I really do have to go. Um, uh-“

Zo’s eyes darted everywhere before landing on Noah’s polaroid. They grabbed it from them and a spare Sharpie that was laying around and scribbled their phone number on the back of the picture.

“There. Text me ASAP, please.”

He held the polaroid close to his heart. “I will.” He smiled brightly. Zo couldn’t help but smile back.

They pressed a kiss onto Noah’s cheek before he could even question it and ran out the door with a smile on their face and blushing red cheeks to show for it. Meanwhile, Noah held his left cheek, flushed and giggly because of Zo. A person that they literally just met but he felt like he knew for a lifetime.

“Caramel Frappuccino for Noah?” a worker announced, passing the drink to him.

He took a sip from his drink and smiled, walking out into the beautiful morning. Birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, and he just found his soulmate. The day had just started, and yet it couldn’t get any better.

What I think would happen if Zo and Sophist ever actually met irl:

"My name is Zo and I'm really glad to meet you."

"You're recommended to me by some people."

"Hey, ooh, is this illegal? (the age gap)"

"Hey, ooh, it feels illegal."

SPOHIST VERSION DONE! (pls don't dox me teehee)

slightly more nsfw versions down below

[zombiewritingblog]

got a delicious idea for a “two dads” au

[zombiewritingblog]

okay i need to write this down so someone can hold me accountable and actually write this as a fic (my other wips in the corner sobbing rn)

Rewrite the Stars but its a king of soph/zophist angst fic where the other half is dying with cancer and is trying to break up with sophist because they don’t want sophist to suffer with them, and plus sophist recently got a really good job opportunity out of state and so he wouldn’t be there to support them.

Meanwhile sophist doesn’t care about that and wants to stay with them in their dying moments.

I won’t spoil the ending because I think you all will like it but tbh this entire story will be sob worthy (@starry-sophrosyne are you proud of me)
