***********

"Peggy, it's just so stupid! How can something like "I think you stepped on crap" be something that somebody's soulmate will tell to them?"

The short ginger boy snorted irritated. His dark haired friend just shrugged, smiling.

"It just is." She said looking down at her own tattoo.

"Strawberry sucks."

Alex was also looking at it.

"Yours is simply ridiculous. " He laughed. She punched his arm as they kept walking.

"Someday I'm going to find them, and they're gonna be the coolest soulmate ever for hating strawberries. "

"You're just bitching cause you're allergic. " He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. Let's go, we're almost at the dollar store. "

She grabbed on his friend and yanked him downstreet.

-

"Yo, John! You coming or not?"

Hercules came walking downstairs followed by Lafayette.

Who would have tell they were meant to be? Even though everyone could have guessed since Hercules' tattoo was in French.

Lafayette's was hilarious and John always laughed at the thought of it, something among the lines,

"I don't know what you said, but I think it just gave me a boner. "

They've been dating ever since. That was a year ago.

John hasn't found his yet. But he never got bugged by it. It had to happen eventually, right?

"Where did you say we were going?"

"The dollar store, I need wrapping paper. " Laf clicked his tongue giving John an exaggerated annoyed look.

He didn't worry. Laf loves John like a mom would.

"Right." He said standing up from the couch at Laf and Herc's apartment. "Let's go then. "

The three of them went out the residence and as they walked to Herc's car, John couldn't help but to look down at his forearm, where some dark cursive letters were scribbled.

"Started stinking when you opened your mouth, asshat."

How romantic! John laughed sarcastically to himself as they drove to the nearest dollar store that was like 3 minutes away by car.

-

"Where are the dammed note pads? I just need one fucking yellow notepad!" Peggy growled, looking through the shelves.

Alex rolled his eyes and tied his hair as he asked the cashier.

"Excuse me, do you happen to know where the note pads are?" He asked sweetly to the chubby woman.

She glanced at him with a bored look. "Fifth on the right shelve. Right above the wrapping paper. "

He nodded and thanked her with a quick smile that turned to a disgusted frown as he walked to Peggy again, who was aimlessly looking through the halls.

"Hey you! Straight!" He yelled at her.

"Who the fuck you calling straight hoe?" She glared at him.

He chuckled. "Come on, we have to go to the fifth hall. "

They walked through the halls until they made it to the number 5.

"She said above the wrapping papers. " He told her.

The wrapping papers were at the end of the hall. Just infront of the shelve where they stood three guys.

One of them was holding three different rolls of wrapping paper as he asked the other one which one looked better.

The third guy was standing behind, looking through his phone with a neutral expression.

Peggy walked to them.

"Sorry." She mumbled, they two guys just moved to a side and kept discussing about the papers.

She tried to reach it, Alex by his side.

John looked at the girl who was struggling to get something from above the shelve.

He chuckled under his breath when her friend -or boyfriend- tried too. He was notably shorter than her and they were getting nowhere. 

John pocketed his phone and approached the girl.

"Here." he said, just lifting his arm and grabbing what appeared to be a yellow note pad.

He handed it to the girl, smiling.

"Thank you. " She smiled back.

Suddenly the three of them made a disgust face.

"What the fuck is that smell?" The cute ginger haired - as John baptised him- asked.

"Smells like dog poop. " Peggy said.

The three of them lifted their shoes to see. Alex's expression fell.

"Aw, shit!" Peggy laughed.

"That's exactly what it is!" She exclaimed, still laughing.

John laughed along and looked at the smaller guy.

"I think you stepped on crap. " He chuckled. Peggy's eyes widened and she looked at Alex.

But he was so embarrassed and irritated that he just glared at the blonde guy.

"That's curious, cause I felt it started stinking when you opened your mouth, asshat! "

He snapped and suddenly John stopped laughing too.

"What?" He looked at him with surprise.

Alex felt bad. "I- I'm sorry, I-"

"No, " John shook his head. "Repeat it. "

Alex furrowed his eyebrows but did anyways. "It started stinking when you opened your mouth, asshat?"

John lifted his sleeve shows and his tattoo to Alex and Peggy.

The girl started squealing and bouncing around, earning a dark red blush to take over Alex's face.

John had a triumphant smirk as he took Alex's forearm and read it.

"I said this, " He pointed at it. "And you said this." He pointed at his own arm.

Alex nodded, still with crimson cheeks and ears that stood up his multiple piercings and high messy ginger bun.

"Now I'm supposed to kiss you or something but my mouth stinks. " He shrugged. "No that I care. " He said before he smashed his lips together.

When the five of them -Herc and Laf were happy for John, specially Laf because he loved how Alex's eyeliner could 'poke a bitch's eyeball'- went to pay, they were waiting.

Herc took out a pack of gum, when he handed it to Peggy, she squealed with fear.

"It's strawberry flavored, do you want me to die?!" She dramatized.

A soft voice came behind them.

"Strawberry sucks."

"Almost as bad as Trump." Peggy snorted.

Then it was silence. And then the girl behind them yanked and squeezed Peggy into a bone crushing hug.

Reality bitch slapped Peggy as she hugged back.

"Hi, I'm Maria and you're my soul mate and I fucking hate strawberries."

***************

It's funny because I love strawberries.

Yours truly reminding you how lovely and beautiful you are whether you're a guy, a gal or a non-binary pal,
