Soulmate AU where everyone is born with a ring on their finger, the color of the ring indicates the emotion that your soulmate is going through. For example : red is anger, yellow is happy, blue is sad, love is purple, grey is fear, and green is envious or disgusted.
When you finally meet your soulmate the ring turns pink
And when they die, it turns black and falls off your finger, becoming dust
just imagine you in your bed staring at the ring, and all of a sudden it goes black. you turn on the light to make sure it's not actually black, but to your dismay it is.
You grieve for someone you haven't even met
------
You always loved the idea of having a soulmate but finding your soulmate was what you figured out to be damn near impossible when you live in Hawkins were a bunch of drama is always going down. It wasn't until this year that you met your soulmate.
You were walking down the hallway with a half-broken heart, you just had some friends do a shitty 360 and now you don't have friends.
Yeah, life can be cruel, but then you bumped into someone dropping all your books! You knew it had to be your fault; you were looking down the whole time.
"Oh god, I'm so sorry!" You exclaimed as you looked upon a guy with long curly hair, a rock band jacket, he had rings on his fingers, and from what you can tell he was attractive.
"Oh it's alright, whoa," he noticed how red your eyes were, "are you okay?" He asked as he helped you pick up your books.
You just shook your head, you need to let it out, you can't just ignore it, "no, not really. Truth be told, my only friends in this hellhole who didn't treat me like a freak just ditched me and now I'm alone... So nope, not okay."
He just gave you a look.
"I'm sorry, that was very venty and ranty, I'm just sorry," you apologized, looking down only to notice your ring was pink! Your jaw dropped a bit as you looked at the boy.
"No need to be sorry, you needed to talk," he put out his hand, "I'm Eddie, by the way, Eddie Munson."
You smiled at Eddie shaking it and then you both noticed a feeling when they touched plus you got to see the pink ring on his finger.
Eddie looked at his ring as his jaw dropped, "you-"
"Uh," you got nervous all of a sudden only for the bell to ring, "gotta go to class, but I'm Y/N L/N by the way."
"Wait- and she's gone..." Eddie sighed watching you walk off in a hurry, "just gonna have to try that again."
------
Eddie had found you at lunch by yourself once again, "Miss Y/N," your nervousness shot through the roof as your soulmate came and sat next to you.
"Eddie, hi," you greeted back, you cupped your hands hiding your ring.
"Do you mind if I eat here?" he asked.
You tried to stop the nervousness but it was kinda stuck in your mind, "sure," be normal Y/N, you told yourself, be normal.
He puts his food on the table as he smiles at you, you are unable not to smile back that's how contagious his smile is, "so I've decided," Eddie said as you looked at him, "I'm going to be your new friend!"
"Oh?" You rose your eyebrows kind of excited to hear this, "why?" You didn't see why he'd want to get to know you considering well you.
"You interest me," he told you.
"Why?" You asked again not seeing why you'd interest anyone other than the fact that they are soulmates...
Eddie just laid his head on his hand with his pink ring in view, "it's hard to explain," he simply stated which you wanted to give him a 'seriously?' look but didn't, "so tell me about yourself."
Again you wanted to ask why but were afraid he'd get annoyed with you, so you just shrugged, "like what?"
"Your interests, your hobbies, your dreams," he counted off.
"What? You writing a file on me?" you joked.
"I just want to get to know you, sweetheart," Eddie said with a grin making your breath hitch at the pet name.
You blushed a bit as you shrugged, "I'm a movie buff, I like to write, and photography... Actually, I'm one of the photographers for the-"
"The school newspaper," Eddie smiled, "yeah, I know your photos, I like your work."
"And what about you?" You decided to indulge yourself in this, considering he started it, "your shirt says Hellfire Club, what does it mean?"
"Oh," he just laughed, "it's a DnD club," he explained making her nod, "do you play?"
"Never got the chance but I've been classified as a nerd so I wouldn't be opposed," you had no clue what DnD really was but the truth was you wanted to be around Eddie more.
Eddie's smile widened, "really? I mean, we need a girl in our campaign, if you are really interested," he says.
"I'm new to this but I'm willing to give it a try," you decided.
Eddie put out his hand without the ring to shake your hand and you didn't think for a second and shook his hand with your ring hand, but when he saw the pink ring he didn't say anything thankfully. "Welcome to Hellfire Club, Y/N," he tells you.
"Thank you, do I get one of those shirts?" you asked with risen eyebrows and a smile.
"If you want one... Yeah," he grinned.
"I'd like one just to keep as a reminder I actually tried this," you explained your reasoning.
Eddie nodded, "good idea, I like the way you think, L/N."
"Thanks," you just smiled.
"Hey Eddie," one of the new freshmen came and sat down across from Eddie and you, "oh, hi, I'm Dustin."
"Y/N, I'm a friend of Eddie's," you told him.
Another freshman sat down, "this is Mike," you waved.
As more of Eddie's friends sat with you two, you got introduced to each of them and you learned all their names, it was nice to meet some new people after losing your friends. "So, Y/N will be joining our campaign," Eddie stated.
"To see if I like it," you explained.
No one argued with him but you did wonder if anyone didn't like the idea, the Freshman seemed fine with it but still, you wondered.
------
After a few games of DnD with the campaign, you ended up liking it for more reasons than just Eddie Munson, you also got the chance to get to know your Soulmate, and from what you can tell he's... Perfect for you, probably too good for you to be honest but what can you do? You're destined to be together.
Kind of crazy when you think of it that way, plus, neither of you has brought up the soulmate thing. Maybe because you guys want to be friends first, or at least that's your reasoning.
You sat in Eddie's trailer alone listening to different music, "so your favorite song is..." He was trying to see if he guess everything about you, so far your faith in him hasn't been misguided, "Bohemian Rhapsody," he guessed.
You smiled, "you know me so well."
"Let me just," he put up a finger as he grabbed his guitar and started to play the beat to Bohemian Rhapsody.
Your smile just grew as he played it perfectly, "I love it when you play," you expressed making him smile.
"Well I just might play more," he continued getting really into it and you started to sing the lyrics along with him and for a moment it was a moment.
But that was when Eddie's Uncle got home and came into Eddie's room, "Eddie- oh, didn't realize we had company," you both stopped the moment he opened the door.
"Oh, this is Y/N," Eddie introduced.
"Well, I'm sure Miss Y/N must need to go home," he told them, "it's getting late."
You smiled sadly, "he's right, unfortunately," you stood up as you straightened out your skirt, "thanks for allowing me to hang out, Eddie," you told him before leaving.
"Is that the girl you told me was your soulmate?" His uncle asked once they were alone.
Eddie nodded, "yeah... Why?"
"Just wondering, she seems like she likes you by the way," he gave his opinion making his nephew smile.
"Really?"
He nodded, "yeah, just keep going the way your doing it, you'll probably get the girl."
"Probably," he laughed, "thanks, Uncle."
As he was left alone Eddie kept playing Bohemian Rhapsody to himself thinking about you...
