Prompt(s):
“Could you maybe write some type of soulmate thing with Warren? I absolutely
love your stories!!” and “Warren soulmate thing? Where like some people are
born with marks that represent their soulmate in some way, and you have wings
on your back and Warren has something somewhere that goes with your mutation,
like if the reader had electrokinesis or something he would have a lightning
bolt?”
Note:
I am a sucker for soulmate AUs. Also, this is a really interesting concept, and
I really like it. Reader has plant powers, just because I think it might be
confusing for Warren with Storm and all. Like she has Electric powers and you
wouldn’t want things getting mixed up, you feel?
Warnings:
APOCALYPSE SPOILERSSS!!!
Living in a mutant fight club was hell. Every
day, Warren was forced to fight mutant after mutant. Some of them walked away
fine. Others…not so much. And sometimes, he
was the one that got hurt. It was no way to live, but one thing got him through
the long days and lonely nights. The marks on his arm.
Yes, Warren was a mutant, it was true. He had
giant, magnificent wings, but he also had soulmate marks. They were etched into
his arms, trailing upwards from the veins in his wrists. Leafy vines, twisting
and turning, a few flowers here and there.
He stared at them before he went to bed,
often tracing them gently with his fingers when he was alone. It was his
solace. His safe place. When he was thinking of his soulmate, whoever and
wherever she was, he felt like all of this trouble was worth it if it meant he
got to meet her eventually.
And then Apocalypse came. Warren was broken,
sad, alone, and Apocalypse had scooped him up, tempted him into doing his
bidding. But after Warren was rescued, he went with the others, to Xavier’s
School for Gifted Youngsters.
It was one of his first days there. He walked
through the courtyard, surrounded by his new friends. And then he saw you. You
were standing under the biggest tree on the campus, arms wide open. Your back
was to him, and on your back, etched into the skin under your green dress was a
very distinct pair of feathery wings. He broke into a run, leaving the others
behind as he ran to meet you.
“Warren, where are you going?” asked Scott,
but he spotted the marks on your back. It was you. Warren’s soulmate.
Warren stopped, standing just behind you. He
took a breath, running his fingers through his curly blonde locks and puffing
out his muscular chest. He straightened out the sleeves of his leather jacket.
Finally, he reached forward and tapped your shoulder.
You turned around. He gasped softly, taken
aback by how beautiful you were. But he was also scared, terrified beyond
words. Would you like him for him? Metal wings and all? Or would you reject him
as everyone in his life had before the Mansion?
“Hi,” you smiled, greeting him. Suddenly,
your smile faded and your eyes went wide. “Oh my God, you’re…you’re my…” you
started tearing up. Here it was. The rejection. Warren’s shoulders fell, preparing
for the worst.
And then you hugged him. It was a tight,
nearly bone-crushing hug, but he loved it more than words could describe.
“You have no idea…” you sobbed gently, tears
of joy streaming down your cheeks. “How long I’ve been waiting to meet you.”
“Aww, don’t cry.” He held you tight, rubbing
your back. He smiled, one of his first real smiles in a long, long time. “I’m sorry
it took me so long to find you.”
“I always knew you would come,” you
whispered. “Oh my God, I don’t even know your name.”
“Warren,” he introduced. “What’s yours?”
“(Y/N),” you replied. “I just…I want to know
everything about you.”
“Well, now we have all the time in the world.”
he chuckled. You peppered kisses all over his face. He laughed, smiling
brightly. He couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe the most beautiful girl
in the entire world was wrapped up in his arms and kissing him relentlessly.
After all of the pain, all of the fighting, all of the loss, the war, you were
here and everything would be better.
***
Later that night, you were laying on top of
him on one of the many couches at the Mansion. Your fingers traced his muscles.
He watched you, smiling softly.
“I never imagined in all of that, that I
would ever find you.” Warren whispered, one of his hands stroked your cheek. “I
wish you could have seen my wings before. They were beautiful.”
You looked up at him, your eyes meeting his.
You gently rubbed his cheek with your thumb.
“Warren, everything about you is beautiful,”
you told him.
“I love you so much.” he pressed a long, tender
kiss to your forehead.
“I love you too,” you smiled, scanning his
face before you kissed him full on the lips.
Warren knew one thing for certain. He would
never get enough of this.
