The living room was draped in a cozy orange atmosphere. Jax sat crossed legged on the black leather couch, fuzzy yellow socks on his feet as the too large grey sweatpants bunches around his ankles.
Some sort of commercial was softly playing in the background, the sound of the television merely used as an absent noise.
The coffee table in front of the television was filled with greasy food packets stamped with a yellow M. The boy reached for a crisp fry which dripped of grease and salt but was en

He paid no mind to it as he pressed his phone to his ear, accepting the call he was getting. “Hunter?”. The said man’s eyebrows furrowed at the weird but familiar voice on the other side of the line. He knew it was his boyfriend, Chase on
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara .Chapter 1: Save Me.Kai Webster wanted to fall in love so badly, the thought of it had been on his mind more often than usual for the past few weeks, occupying the back of his mind as he tried to concentrate for his mid term exams. Right now, he saw it all around him, as he watched couples walking together around campus, gloves hands clasped together, bundled in jackets against the cold. He shivered under the woolen layers of his own parka, his breath coming out in white faint puffs.
Map Of The Soul . Written by Authoress Kamara . Chapter 2: Run . Kai almost collapsed when he realized who the voice must have belonged to, half from the shock and half from the terrible state he was suddenly in. The fear was still throbbing like a bruise in the back of his head, a stronger feeling than he had ever experienced from his soulmate before. And he knew whatever happening must be bad because his soulmate must have be so desperate for help that he decided to contact him. “Help me, plea
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara .Chapter 3: I’m Fine .After stumbling off the bus and into his new room on the university campus, all of his muscles aching from the sheer tension of the whole ordeal and his head spinning with exhaustion. Finn almost asleep as he got inside. Throwing his belongings down on the floor, and collapsing onto the bed full clothed, he passed out immediately at 4:00 in the morning. So, when he woke up at 7:00 that same morning to get ready for a campus tour, h
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 4: An Act Of Ignorance .As Finn shuffled a step away from Adonis. It wasn’t that he hated human contact, he was okay with handshakes and things like that. But he was on edge today, and he had only just met the boy five minutes ago. He didn’t seem too keen on accepting physical contact from someone he just met. Thankfully, Adonis seemed to have noticed that and withdrew his
Map Of The Soul . Written by Authoress Kamara . Chapter 5: His Fear . Kai’s head rested in his hand, propping it up by his chin as he struggled to stay attentive during the lecture. The professor, a short, old man with a talent for sounding incredibly boring, was talking on about something-Kai barely took in a word of what he was saying. His eyelids felt leaden, threatening to close and swallow him in a much needed sleep. The issues with his soulmate has been plaguing him for weeks now and it wa
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 6: Euphoria .“What about you, Finn? You have a soulmate ?”. Jax asked. It obviously wasn’t a serious question, just something to get off the topic of how miserable Adonis was, but it hit him all the same. Smacked him in the face, slammed him with a brick wall, more like that, really. The word coming out of Jax’s mouth, the word the one he hated, and the one he feared, and the one he despises with all of
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 7: Empty.Finn woke up with a start, his forehead drenched with sweat and his fists clenched into tight balls. Blinking rapidly as he attempted to steady his erratic breathing, he panicked for a moment as he took in his surroundings.He was still in the cafe, the bright lights glaring down harshly at him. He wasn’t sure how long it had been since he first lost consciousness and lost himself to whatever dark hell he had been stuck in but it couldn’t have been too long, the sun was still up at least though bar

Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 24: What Goes Up .Finn had been plagued by ‘what ifs’ for most of his life, and as much as he wanted them to stop, they wouldn’t, not immediately. They were vicious little things, lurking in the shadowed corners of his mind; at night, when he was alone in his dorm room, accompanied only by the emptiness and the sleeping presence of Kai, they whispered to him, fed him lies in soft, enticing hisses.Even now, even with Kai, they still ate away at him, even when he tried to push them away. Eagerly,
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 23: Soulmates .Finn was starting to rather to enjoy that presence in the back of his head, a constant comforting feeling of ‘him’ radiated warm and acceptance contrarily to how he used to loathe it. Because now he realized that the weak link had never being the connection itself, it was never the bond, the attachment, that threatened to break him. That wasn’t the reason that his mother turned out the way she was. It was the way in how one reacted to the loss of a loved one that shaped their recovery
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 22: Uncertainty .Finn woke up with his face buried in something soft and smelled vaguely of vanilla and coconut. Drowsily, he breathed in the scent, his eyes fluttering open to see a mass of deep brown hair instead of his room. He lifted his head, wincing as the muscles in his neck stretched after a night of rest, and was startled awake by the realization that the thing his face had been pressed into was Kai’s hair. He took a moment to observe, while the older was still sleeping with his head on his arms at the edge of the bed. The position looked uncomfortable, the way he was k
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 21: Don’t go .The walk to Chase’s dorm was a little shorter than the walk to Adonis (and Kai’s) dorm and the lesser distance instilled a sense of reassurance in Finn as he pulled a thin sweatshirt over his head. Kai waited patiently by the door, his expression relaxed and his eyes saying things he couldn’t quite decipher, his hands resting at his sides with the fingers hooked in the belt loop of the jeans. He expected the walk to be tense and awkward because frankly, Finn didn’t know what
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 20: I Promise .Kai stared at Finn for a moment, too shaken by the fact that he actually opened the door to register what he said. His gaze was pained as it traced over rumpled, oily hair, pale skin and bloodshot eyes that watered as they looked back at him. He watched motionless as Finn reached up and ran a visibly shaking hand through his hair, his feet coming out to bite on his lower lip, which he now saw was scarred, swollen and bruised. “Kai?”. The sound of his name brought him out of the trance and he
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 19: Sing For You .The morning after it happened, Finn woke up in still damp clothes and a pounding headache, lying awkwardly on his couch. He hasn’t moved since he first came in, and crashed down the night before, He hasn’t bothered to change out of the clothes he was wearing the day before either. He could attributes the headache to the immense strain his mind had gone under yesterday but the same didn’t go for his aching muscles and his sore throat.
Map Of The Soul.Written by Authoress Kamara.Chapter 18: Epiphany .No.No.No. Finn was falling, tumbling and crashing through a void because the force of their touch had been so strong that it blacked out his vision for a second. He squeezed his eyes shut anyways as a warm sensation slowly spread from the place in his hand where Kai’s fingers touched, crawling up over his skin and covering his body entirely. It was a pleasant feeli
