Rex x reader Soulmate AU- Shared Pain pt. 2

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You kept them all" you could see the big grin on his face as he saw one for every date you went on with him.

"Of course I did, you're my soulmate, why? What happened to yours?"
"I don't really have anywhere to put them...so I kinda keep them under my pillow...so...when I go to sleep...maybe the memories we have could give me good dreams, it sounds stupid when I say it out loud."
"It's not stupid Rex, believe it or not I keep the photos here so even if you're not physically here...with me, you'll still be here, watching over me."

"Aww (Y/N)! C'mere and give me a hug!" He held his arms out for a hug and you playfully rolled your eyes accepting the hug. You loved Rex's hugs, they were just the right amount of tight to let you know he was there and loved you, but not so tight he's squeezing you to death. Then there was also his scent, it was kinda weird to you at first but you got used to it and it was one of your favorite scents ever. He smelled like machine oil, the earth and wind all at once, sometimes one scent was stronger than the others depending on what he did and how many builds he used. You buried your head in his chest as you enjoyed the moment, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. Rex's chin rested on your head as he looked down at you. He breathed in a happy sigh of relief and rested his cheek on the top of your head. God, did he love you, and the mere fact you had every single photobooth strip in perfect condition made his heart soar. What he didn't tell you is that everyday he carried one of the strips out of his growing stack with him so before a big fight he could look at that picture of you two having fun and remember the main reason why he fights now, especially since he's been getting such a hard time from other people about him being an EVO lately.

"I love you, so much" he whispers into your hair, he didn't notice it but you two began to sway to a rhythm only the two of you could hear.

"I love you too Rexie" you hum, tracing shapes with your finger on his shoulder. He kissed the top of your head and buried his face in your hair again. You heard the click of a polaroid and you and Rex looked up to see where the noise came from, but it was just your Mom with the polaroid.
"Sorry I couldn't resist, you two are absolutely adorable together! This is going in the family photo album- Anyway dinner's ready!" She tells you guys, you both left the hug at the same time while still holding hands, your face red with embarrassment.
"Sorry about my Mom, she can be a little...much sometimes" you sigh.
"It's fine, we should probably go downstairs before your Dad chases me with that baseball bat"
"He wouldn't do that" you laugh it off ...or would he?

Rex followed you back down the stairs to the kitchen table. He sat down next to you and all of the calmness he had before where he was just embracing you is gone, replaced by the hammering of his heart at the nervousness he felt. But you were with him, so he'll at least survive the experience. You felt him squeeze your hand from under the table and you gave him a reassuring squeeze back.
"So Rex, me and (Y/N)'s mother have seen you on the news, is it true your an EVO?"
"Dad!"
"Uh yes sir, I am, but unlike everyone else I can control it and I work with Providence to cure other EVOs." Rex answers nervously, he still held your hand under the table. You could tell he was very nervous.
"So that's why my little girl here has been getting hurt so much"
"Sorry sir, I try to be careful even before I met (Y/N)..." he trails off. Your Dad grunts.
"I guess your alright, for now" you could visibly see Rex relax a little as his grip on your hand slackened. During the whole dinner he talked (mostly to your Mom) but with every conversation you can see him relax just a little more. And it was obvious he had an appetite for your Mom's cooking. After the dinner Rex said goodbye to the both of them and giving a kiss on your forehead before leaving.
"He's a keeper" your Mom not-so-quietly whispers to you happily your Dad 'hmphed'.

"I don't know, I still need a little convincing soulmate or not"

"He's warming up to him, soon those two'll be like two peas in a pod, trust me" your Mom whispers with a wink. You rolled your eyes and went to go sit on the couch with your parents to watch a movie.
