I stare at my wrist and blink slowly; maybe the purple will go away. I can't have anyone see that I'm paired with a highblood. Eridan will kill me! Again! I slide on my black sweater and walk towards the new combination school. All highbloods and lowbloods are allowed to go, but many don't. It's to closest school to my hive, so I have to go there.

Y/n's POV

"Y/n, wwhy do wwe havve to go here?" my cousin whined. I roll my eyes and push my sleeves down. "Because this is where our friends are and it's closest to home." He dragged his feet and whined as we walked to the classroom. "I don't wwanna go to school." "Typical Eriidan." I smirk as my moirail walks over to us. "Don't you want to find your mate2priit?" I felt my smile drop and I knew that my expression was on-guard. "Y/n?" I smile and gesture to leave. "Got to go use the bathroom. I'll be back before class starts!" I rush off before the boys could say anything. Got to go before they find out that I have the yellow Gemini symbol on my wrist, not like the other highbloods haven't found out.

Sollux's POV

"Don't you thiink Y/n'2 a liittle 2tand-offii2h?" I ask the sulking violetblood. He readjusted his glasses and shrugged. "Wwell, she seems to be gettin' this wway wwhenevver wwe talk about the symbols." "Whatever nerd." The bell rings and Y/n comes rushing in, panting slightly from running. She sits next to me and smiles. "Today's lesson will be on the symbols." Everyone in the class groans, but several of the girls giggle. I turn to them and lower my glasses, glaring at them. They were pointing at Y/n and she was as pale as an anemic troll. Her sleeves were riding up, but she pushed them down, and I pushed mine down as well. I can't have her see her sign on my wrist. She'll hate it! "Many symbols are based on the zodiac signs, from your astronomy lessons. My own is the Taurus symbol." The teacher held up their wrist and a bright red mark shone. I pull my sleeve down further. "Not everyone has a zodiac sign, some have random shapes that match together. Now, each shape and color is your matesprit's, not our own. Matesprites do not always match up with who they are paired with, and with that..." The teacher droned on and on, and I saw several of the girls whispering and sending notes to each other. Y/n's foot kept ticking. Suddenly, she stood up. "Ma'am, sorry to interrupt but I must go to the bathroom." Her voice went prim and proper as she has to have as a highblood. I cross my arms. "Go ahead my dear." She runs out of the room and so does a few more of the girls. I look over at Eridan and he looks a little alarmed. He shrugs, not knowing what to do. "II gotta go two." I exclaim. Everyone snickered, but the teacher let me go as well. I hope Y/n's okay.

Y/n POV

Y/n's got a pissblood! Y/n's got a pissblood!" One of the girls chanted. "It doesn't matter, guys!" I say. Two of them were holding me by the arms. I struggle, but their hands tightened and it hurt so bad. "Well well well, looks like little miss Ampora has a lowblood as her matesprit." The girl cackled. "Looks like she can't take over her father's ship like she wishes to. She'll be nothing!" I glare at the girl. "Like you have anything better!" I spit out. "You can't even find yours, and when you do, they'll refuse to be with scum like you!" The girl gasped mockingly. "Too bad, so sad. I'm already high enough up there that I don't need anyone. Girls, give her hell." Suddenly, the girls' hands tightened, piercing my skin. Several of them kicked me and punched me, my nose audibly cracking. I yelp and try to fight back, but one person amongst many is too difficult! They ket chanting that stupid thing and ripped my sleeves so that I can't cover the mark. Tears form in my eyes but I bite my lip to make them stop from leaking. "What the actual fuck ii2 goiing on?" I hear someone yell. Oh shit. It's Sollux.

Sollux's POV

I look at the highblood girls who were hurting Y/n with sparks coming from my eyes. "What are you doing here, pissblood?" They sneered. I go up to Y/n and help her up, her nose gushing out violetblood. "II'm helpiing 2omeone worthiier than you 2tupiid biitche2 who deciided that iit wa2 a good iidea two hurt my Y/n." I say fiercely. They backed up a bit, but tried to keep their sneers on their faces. "GET OUT!" I roar, and they go running like squeakbeasts. "Goddamniit Y/n, you 2hould have told me." I whisper. I carry her on my back as she cried, carrying her to the healer's room. I put her in a recooperacoon and sit on a chair. "What wa2 that 2hiit about?" I ask. She wipes her eyes. "I don't want to talk about it," She mumbles. "It's nothing I can't handle." "That'2 bull2hiit." I say bluntly. "You couldn't fiight them off twoday. You thiink II'm goiing two leave you on your own wiith them? Hell no." She stood up inside the recooperacoon and had fire in her eyes. "What, are you saying I can't solve this on my own? That I'm not strong enough?" I stood up as well. "II'm 2ayiing that II don't want two 2ee you hurt-" "Shut up, Sollux! You think just because I can't go against those puny girls I can't solve my own problems? You're wrong, I just have to get the damned tattoo off!" "II'M 2AYIING THAT II DON'T WANT MY MATE2PRIIT TWO GET HURT!" I yell, stunning Y/n. Oh shit, did I yell that? "Wh-what?" I cross my arms defiantly and stand my ground.

Y/n's POV

He has me? I look at his wrist, and I see my blood color just barely peeking out.  I show him my wrist. Yellow Gemini, purple z/s (Zodiac sign). "No way." He whispers. "That'2 why they were hurtiing you." I nod my head, still dumbfounded, but hug back when I felt him cling to me. "II'm 2orry you have two bee wiith me." He mumbles. "You'll alway2 bee tea2ed and hurt." "I don't care about the blood colors and you know it!" I say indignantly. "I only hid it because I thought you were paired with someone else." He shook his head and smiled. "II'm happy two have your 2ymbol." I smile as well and we stay in the healer's room for the rest of the day, making sure that we will stay together, no matter the blood scale or the cost. We have each other and We can fight through this, one bully at a time.

**That was hella cheesy. I liked this soulmate thing and I thought it was cute, so BOOM. Fanfic.**
