----------

The first case was reported five days ago. A woman had woken up after a night out only to find a weird mark on her ribcage. When questioned by friends and family members if she had just gotten a new tattoo, she was in denial. She recollected that she had bumped into a guy, had a conversation, went back to her place and had a night of passion with the mysterious man only to wake up the next morning with a tattoo on her ribcage. Surprisingly enough, the man whom she had spent the night with had the exact same tattoo on his ribcage.

It made global news instantly. First case of soulmarks documented in centuries. The mass majority of people had considered it bogus, until more and more cases were being documented. And thus it began. A revival in soulmarks.

When it finally got to him, Gordo didn’t really know what to think of it. He had woken up one morning, a slight tingling on his ribcage, and instantly jumped out of bed, running to the mirror and pulling up his shirt only to see a mark in the shape of a continent on his skin. He was terrified.

If he is being honest with himself, he still is terrified. What if Tracy doesn’t have the same mark as him? What would that mean for his family? For his kids? It’s not like he can go and ask. Not with her still being pissed enough at him for him to have to sleep at the apartment.

Trying to get the thoughts out of his head, he walks out of the apartment and towards the elevator, rocking on his feet and waiting for the elevator. As the elevator doors open, he steps inside quickly, moving to press the ground floor button but is interrupted by his neighbor, you, rushing into the elevator, a basket of laundry in your arms.

“Thanks for holding it,” you comment, setting the basket down before reaching up and tying up your hair, but something catches Gordo’s eyes. Something that has his blood rushing cold. Underneath the band of your bra, he can make out part of a tattoo that looks very similar to his own.

“Do you need a shirt?” His question causes you to look up at him in confusion before looking down and yelping upon realizing that you indeed, do not have a shirt on. You try to cover yourself as much as possible but Gordo just laughs. “Seems like you’re in a rush.”

“Tell me about it. I need to get this laundry done so I can actually have clean clothes to wear or else it won’t get done at all.” He nods in response as a silence falls over them, the elevator going painfully slow. Looking back down at you, he tries to make out the rest of the tattoo. When you realize that he’s staring at you, you look back at him in confusion. “Can I help you?”

“What’s that tattoo of?” You look down at your tattoo and raise up the side of your bra, oblivious to the way Gordo’s eyes widen as his mouth drops open in shock.

“Uh. I don’t really know? Looks kinda like a continent but I can’t really make it out. I woke up with it like two days ago.” You admit as the elevator comes to a stop as another person gets in, eyeing you up and down. Gordo closes his mouth and moves to stand in front of you to at least protect your decency somewhat and you can’t help but to become flustered at the motion.

“Here.” Gordo takes off his jacket and hands it to you as the elevator reaches the bottom floor. “You can just return it later.” He smiles softly before exiting the elevator, leaving you alone.

It doesn’t take long for him to reach his car. He was supposed to go to JSC for a meeting, but he needs to see Tracy. Especially if you, his neighbor, has the exact same tattoo as him.

It doesn’t take him long to reach his house. Shutting off the engine, he runs through the door and into the hallway, his heart pounding against his chest in anxiety. “Trace?”

Tracy walks out of the bedroom, a look of annoyance on her face as her husband’s loudness. “Yes Gordo?”

“Did you get a tattoo on your ribcage?” Tracy rolls her eyes, crossing her arms and putting her weight on one of her legs as she stares at Gordo dubiously.

“Do you really believe in that make believe? Soulmarks haven’t existed for centuries. Everyone knows that,” she replies as Gordo shakes his head, lifting up his shirt to reveal his own tattoo, much to Tracy’s shock.

“Do you have a tattoo?” He lets go of his shirt and takes a step closer to her, a twinge of doubt making its way through his heart.

“No. I don’t.” The silence is deafening and the tension in the air is thick as Gordo and Tracy stare at each other, not really sure what to say next. “When did you find the tattoo?”

“About two days ago. I woke up to a tingling feeling and when I looked in the mirror it was there. Are you sure that you don’t have one?” Tracy holds up her hand before walking back into their bedroom and lifting up her own shirt in the mirror, trying to find any sort of marking but to no luck.

Looking over to Gordo, she can’t deny the hurt that is brewing inside of her. Sure she and Gordo have had their issues, but all lovers do. Right? “What does this mean?”

Gordo pulls her into his chest, holding her close as his mind tries to think of solutions. “I don’t know.” Despite the current situation, Gordo can’t help but to think of you. Why do you out of all people have the matching tattoo and his wife doesn’t? He doesn’t even know you. Sure you’re gorgeous, and funny, and caring, and kind, but that doesn’t mean that you’re his soulmate. “Maybe we should talk it out with a counselor? I mean our marriage hasn’t been the best, and part of that is my fault, but what if this is why? What if we were never meant for each other?”

Tracy pulls away, anger written on her face. “You can’t be serious? We have children, Gordo. Think of Danny and Jimmy.”

Gordo hangs his head in defeat. He knew that the kids would be the trickiest part of this whole ordeal, but it wouldn’t be fair to him or Tracy if they stayed together. “I’m serious, Trace. What if this is why we don’t match?”

“You know what?” She pulls out a cigarette, lighting it between her lips and taking a puff. “This is fucking bullshit. How do I know that you didn’t just get a tattoo and are saying all of this horseshit just for a cop out?”

“Do you really think I would go as far as getting a tattoo to just leave you? To leave MY family? If you think that that’s the case then maybe I’m glad this tattoo appeared. Just goes to show me that I was right from our second date.” Only until he realizes what he said does he cringe as Tracy fumes.

“Our second date? Then why the fuck did you pursue me? Why would you waste my time and your time?”

“Because I thought I couldn’t get any better.”

“Get out.” Gordo raises his hands in defeat, stepping to the side and narrowly dodging a picture frame being thrown at him. “Get out!” The bedroom door slams shut on Gordo causing him to turn around and kick at the door in frustration, unaware of four pairs of eyes on him. Turning back around, he jumps in surprise when he sees his kids, Shane and Karen staring at him.

“Shit.” He moves towards his kids with open arms, but Karen pushes them and Shane behind her like a mother hen. Realizing that she’s not going to let them go anytime soon, he stands back up to his height, a look of sorrow on his face. “I’m sorry you had to hear that. Can you please watch Danny and Jimmy until she cools down?” Karen doesn’t make a comment but watches as Gordo grabs his keys from his pocket and heads out of the door to who knows where.

—---------

A sharp series of knocks echo through your apartment, disrupting your concentration on your work as you look at the door in confusion. You don’t remember if you had anyone coming over, at least today. Opening the door, you smile at seeing your neighbor on the other side.

“Gordo, what can I do for you?” Your cheerful mood disappears as he pushes past you and into your apartment. “Excuse me. What do you think you’re doing?” He doesn’t respond before he’s pulling up his shirt, showing you the tattoo on his rib cage, causing you to gasp in shock.

“Is this the same as your tattoo?” You drag him over to where you have a mirror and stand next to him, pulling up your own shirt to reveal the matching tattoo. “Well shit.”

You pull your shirt back down and turn to face him, a sense of awkwardness in the air. “What does this mean?”

“I don’t know. I have a wife and kids. I can’t just leave them. At the same time, I don’t want either of us to be without our soulmates and if it’s each other then we’ll figure this out. Ok?” You’re not stupid, you know his reputation, but he’s right. Why should you deny yourself the opportunity to have your soulmate? But do you really want to become a mother figure now?

“There’s so much to think about,” you comment softly, sinking down on your sofa as he sits next to you, head resting on his hands.

“We’ll get through this together.” He glances down at his watch and cringes. “I got to get to work, but can we talk about this tonight? Maybe over dinner?” You nod, still in shock as he gives you a soft smile before walking out the door, leaving you alone in your thoughts.
