cliche O/O soulmate rp? (closed)

(YAY! I did reply!)

Glenn had been leaning on the stranger more and more as the walk stole what little energy he'd had left, but as soon as he saw his apartment building, he pushed himself to his feet. Even standing was hard, but at least he didn't have to bother this guy anymore. "3C. It's just on the third floor, so I'm sure I can manage. Thank you so much…" He drew a blank and wondered how he could've forgotten to ask this guy his name.

"Rykah" he answered, filling in the blank, still clueless on the soulmate side of things. "You sure you can make it up there?" she asked.

Glenn didn't even hear the rest of the stranger's question, just fixated on his name. Fuck! This was his SOULMATE. His other half. The love of his damn life! And he'd been leaning on him like a drunkard for the last half hour."R-Rykah!? Are you kidding me?"

Rykah gave him a confused look, "D-Did I miss something?" he asked, taken off guard by the other's outburst. Taking a few moment's to think he finally remembered what the other had first said and the connection, and his eyes widened.

As recognition filled Rykah's eyes, Glenn felt his stomach fall. This was happening. After years of false soulmate encounters- having common words was a pain in the ass- Glenn had finally met him and he'd made himself look like a total idiot. He wouldn't be surprised if Rykah just turned around and walked out the door. "What's your-" Glenn swallowed nervously "-what's your soulmate's name?"

"Glenn…." he said softly, more shocked than anything as he tried to process how he'd missed it.

"Oh my god," Glenn whispered, running a hand through his hair as Rykah was confirmed to be his soulmate. This wasn't some insane understanding, this was 100% real. What was he supposed to do now? Before he could begin planning what to do, a wave of exhaustion hit him and he collapsed forward, barely managing to land with his arms braced on either side of Rykah's head. He blushed slowly "I'm sorry"

Rykah caught him, snapping back to reality. "Uhm… right… we should probably get you inside, then have the embarrassing moment" he said softly, helping him up then moving to head inside.

(off to do some chores, but they shouldn't take too long. Brb)

(Kk)

(I'm back!)

Glenn blushed even harder and slowly got to his feet. "Right! Just… follow me, I guess." He cringed at his awkwardness and led Rykah up to his apartment, huffing in annoyance when he took what felt like a million years to open the door. His hands were shaking, and he didn't know if it was nerves or tiredness. "Uh… This is my place. Why don't you sit at the table and… and I'll make us some tea."

Rykah watched him fumble, still trying to process the whole thing. "Uhm… maybe I should make the tea, so you're not at risk of hurting yourself?" He suggested, trying to point out that the other was shaky and recovering from a collapse.

(This worked out so well)

Glenn glared at his traitorous hands for a moment before deciding Rykah was right. Burning himself would really be the cherry on top of this day from hell. He hesitantly sat down at the table, rubbing his eyes in an attempt to stay alert. "Tea is in the top shelf of the pantry and the teapot's on the stove. Um… Thanks, by the way. You really didn't have to do all this."

(I know right. This is going pretty smooth)

Rykah nodded, making sure the other was able to sit down, before moving to the kitchen to set the kettle on, and set out the rest of what was needed to make the tea before wandering out into the living room again, tail flicking.

(Yep!)

Glenn was nodding off at the table until he realized Rykah had wandered out of the kitchen. While there definitely wasn't anything weird in his apartment, he didn't feel comfortable letting Rykah just wander around in his space. Not since he'd dated Arin. "Rykah! Don't!" Fuck. was that too rude? "I mean… can you come back?"

Rykah came back sheepishly, "Sorry…" he said shyly, wanting to hide in his hoodie, even though he was still curious about the other.

(oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask: What timezone are you in? I'm on central daylight time)

(It's 8:45 PM for me at the moment)

(I also don't always sleep until later than normal)

Glenn winced at Rykah's clear embarrassment. He didn't want to make Rykah sad or anything, just panicked when he wandered off. "No, it's fine! I just… I don't know if I really know you yet and I haven't really had anyone over in a while and honestly, I've never been that comfortable around others," Was he babbling? Shit, he was totally babbling! "And… you seem really great. But… yeah."

(it's only 7:45 for me, and I also tend to stay up late bc my brain hates me)

Rykah nodded, "It's okay.. I shouldn't have wandered…" he said softly, tail wrapping around his leg.

(SAAAME!!))

Glenn sighed, wishing he could figure out how to get his point across without hurting Rykah. He couldn't, so he decided to try and divert the conversation. "We were going to make some tea right? Maybe you can brew some and we can… talk. I mean, I think we should probably get to know each other since we're soulmates."

(tbh the only reason I write is bc I can't sleep and I wanna do something)

(Honestly same! Also I gtg shower be back in a bit)
