story written on skin

More often than not, Race was covered in bruises.Most of the time, it was his own bruises. Until he was about nine years old, it was his own parents who inflicted them upon him; after that, it was from him getting into fights.But he woke up with a lot of bruises that weren't his too. They were his soulmate's. He knew that his bruises appeared on someone else’s skin, and that person was supposedly his soulmate.(When he turned fourteen and realized he didn’t like girls like he was supposed to, that he had been corrupted by Satan like his father had always said, he broke down crying in his bunk.That was the day he decided that he never wanted to meet his soulmate, knowing he would never be able to love whatever girl’s bruises matched his own, not in the way that she would want.)***Race is happy to never meet his soulmate, but when he does, it's a mess.
