soulmate tattoo meme

Maybe you're completely blindsided, or maybe a little part of you knew all along. Maybe they're a complete stranger, maybe they're your best friend or worst enemy, but that doesn't matter anymore. What does matter is that you saw a very familiar mark somewhere on their person, the same mark that you were born with, and you know that can only mean one thing.

How to Play:

This is a soulmate tattoo meme, which means that when two people share a mark, they're meant to be together. Always.

PROMPTS.

1. BEST FRIENDS: You've been best friends for a long time, maybe you're entire life, but this is the first time you've seen their mark, whether it be because you walked in on them changing, decided to take a dip in the pool, or you just haven't been paying attention until now.
2. WORST ENEMIES: No, not them. Anyone but them. You're going to do everything in your power to deny that this is even happening at all.
3. REJECTION: Soulmate marks are stupid, it's way too unrealistic to assume that you'll find one other person with the same tattoo when the human population is in the literal billions. So when you do find them, it would make you a bit of a hypocrite to really do anything about it, right? Right. Hopefully they feel the same way.
4. STRANGER: You're just walking to work or hanging out in your favorite coffee shop when you see a familiar mark on a very unfamiliar person. What do you do? Do you chase them down? Be sure not to embarrass yourself! First impressions are everything.
5. PLATONIC: Just because the word 'soulmate' has romantic suggestion to it doesn't mean it has to be romantic. Maybe the person you share your mark with loves you in a different way.
6. UNOBTAINABLE: You're just minding your business, watching the Oscars or MTV or a documentary when you see your mark on the body of a celebrity. Most awkward fan mail ever.
7. WILDCARD: None of the prompts catching your eye? Make your own!

Her description of her own mark definitely leaves him looking a little shell shocked. Lynne wasn't the first woman to ask him about marks, it hadn't been an exaggeration when he said someone had actually tattooed themselves with what they thought his might be. The whole business of it left him uncomfortable most of the time - and this, well, this also left him uncomfortable although for dramatically different reasons.

It all seems so surreal, standing there in front of this woman - he doesn't even know her name he realizes in that moment. Put him in front of aliens invading the earth and he's good to go, but this, well, he's more than lost.

"Can I - " he trails off for a moment looking hopelessly lost. "Do you mind if I see it?" he asks finally and it's hesitant in a way and so unlike the man who had just been fielding questions only minutes ago.

Her hand falls when he asks if he can see it. She has no idea if this is a good idea or a bad one and she doesn't know if he really believes in this stuff or if he was just trying to sniff out whether she was a crazy person that ought to be arrested for being some kind of creepy stalker. Or for ruining the press conference. ...or both.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, sorry, it's..." she turned her head to look away from him and pulled her hair back away from her ear. "It's just...here," she said, using her free hand to tap at it gently.
