#ReyloSpiritWeek - Wednesday (Soulmate marks)

Growing up, whenever things got rough at the foster homes or group housing, Rey would sneak away to a quiet place and run her fingers across the B inside her wrist. It was curvy and obsidian.

Her soulmate mark always calmed her.
She fantasies about it more than she cares to admit. Obsessed with the idea that there is a person out there that is wholly hers and no others.

She doesn’t lose hope when even after her 18th birthday, her mark doesn’t glow, indicating her mate is near.

But years pass-
Rey begins to wonder, where is he? Is he looking for her like she is looking for him?

Does he scan the crowds like she does as she passes stranger after stranger hoping- praying- that one of them was hers.

Someone to call hers and hers alone.

Doubt sets in-
Would he love her? The concept of soulmates was a tricky one. A double edged sword.

At a flip of a coin you could find someone you irrevocably fall in love with.

The other side was that you despised each other but due to the pull, separating was impossible.
Rey had issues, with herself and it all boiled down to the fact that she didn’t think she deserved a soulmate.

She was a scavenger. She found use in the useless because she thought they reminded her of herself.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t shake the feeling.
“Would you be disappointed? If you knew it was me instead of the woman you’ve been dreaming of?”

She often found herself in the same thought process. Over and over again, thinking these things.
It’s been 4 months in the city and no luck finding whose soul matches hers.

The envy claws at her heart when she sees her cousin family of friends interacting with their soulmates.

An ache only she could understand. Lonely and sad, that was not what she wanted out of life.
She’s hired to help at a red carpet for a new movie she can’t remember when suddenly her wrist starts to itch.

Looking down, she watches a translucent glow come from her skin.

He was here.

Her legs start moving without a thought, she weaves through the crowds of people-
Who blur around her, all she feels is the sensation of a pull. It’s calling her like a sailor to a siren.

When he steps in front of her.

His eyes wide and searching as hers are. Mouth parted as they both take each other in.

He is beautiful, much more than she imagined.
“Hello.”

“Hi.”

They speak at the same time, shyly blushing as they try not to fumble.

“I’m Ben.”

“Rey,” she whispers, heart thundering in her chest.

There’s a current that passes through them, electricity around them as they stand a mere inches away from eachother.
“I’ve been waiting a long time for you, sweetheart.”

The smile Rey gives could light a thousand suns.

“Me too, Ben. Me too.”

The world spins around them but they stand rooted right where they are.

And just like that.

Every insecurity and doubt is gone.

Only he stays. ImageImageImageImage
