You stop what you’re doing when you hear the voice. You look on either side of you and then behind you, but don’t see anyone. You shake your head at yourself.

That what was weird, guess it was all in my head.  

What was?

You stop and look around again, this time you see a man who looks around your age with long, dark hair tied back and brown eyes.  

“Did you just say something?” You ask, looking at him warily.

“That depends,” he replies.  

“On?”  

“On what you heard.”  

“A question I guess, two actually,” you try to explain. You shake your head at yourself.

No, it was all just in my head.  

Technically you’re right, but it's me you’re hearing.

You look up at him with wide eyes, waiting to see his mouth move with the words you’re hearing.  

You can hear me, can’t you?

You shake your head in response and disbelief.  

“You can!” He says aloud, excitedly. “Say something in your head again.”  

I can’t believe this happening.  

“This is very much happening,” he smiles widely. 

You look at him still shocked and confused.

“So,” you start slowly, trying to wrap your head around this, “we’re soulmates.”  

“Yes,” he smiles, “yes we are.” He laughs lightly. “You look thoroughly shocked. What did you think you’d never find me?”  

“No, I didn’t,” you shake your head. “I thought I was one of those people who just didn’t have one.”  

He smiles gently walking closer until he was standing right in front of you. He takes your hands in his.  

“Well, love, turns out you’re one of the lucky ones.”  

And that’s when you feel it. The Ties or Strings, your parents called them. They said it was like there was invisible strings that tied you to your soulmate the moment you touched. You were bound to each other.  

You exhale and a smile finally graces your face.  

Beautiful.

You look up to see him staring at you and your smile grows and before you know it, you’re throwing your arms around his neck and pulling him into an embrace. You feel no hesitation from him, instantly wrapping you up in his arms. You’re stunned by how right it feels to be in this strangers' arms.  

You release your hold on him and he does the same. You step back with a shy smile and hold out your hand.  

“I’m (Y/N), thought maybe you should know name, seeing as were soulmates and all.”  

He chuckles at you and grasps your hand with his.  

“Alexander, but feel free to call me, Alex.” He smiles at you. “I mean seeing as were soulmates and all.”  

You laugh as your cheeks flush.

“How about we go get some coffee and get to know each other a little better,” he releases your hand only to grab your other.  

You look at your intertwined hands and back up at him.  

“Well, I don’t usually go out with people I've just met, but since your soulmate I guess it's alright.”  

He throws his head back as he laughs and you find you like that, that he was happy, that you made him happy. It made your heart stutter in the most wonderful way.  

“Come on,” he says as he pulls you along.  

*

You make it to the coffee shop and Alex can’t stop smiling. You keep taking shy glances at him and it takes him a moment to realize your hands hadn’t come unclasped.  

You both ask each other a stream of questions about your respective lives and find you have a similar taste in music.  

“Anyway, my parents wake up and my sister and I are covered in extinguisher fluid, my brother is covered in pancake batter and my mothers favorite carpet is ruined.”  

You laugh retelling the story of how you and your siblings once started a small fire while trying to make pancakes.  

“Oh my god,” he laughs along in disbelief, “what did your parents do?”  

“Well, we were all grounded for one week and banned from ever using the kitchen without their supervision,” you chuckle and shrug. “Wasn’t that bad if you think about it.”  

He chuckles once more before turning serious.  

“Is everything okay?” You ask worriedly.  

“Yeah,” he nods, looking lost in thought. “Its just,” he pauses, “there’s something I want to ask you.”  

“Okay.”  

“Have you ever heard anyone else before?”  

Your face scrunches up in confusion.  

“The way I heard you today?” He nods. “No, I never have.” You pause, he still looks lost in thought, looking down at the table.  “Have you?”  

He looks up at you now, a small bit of fear in his eyes as his hand tightens for a moment on yours. As if he’s afraid you’ll run away.  

“I”- he starts and stops. “I have.”  

“You have?”  

“Yes, but not just one.” He cringes as he makes his confession.  

“How many?”  

“Three.”  

“Three?”  

“I have three other soulmates,” he says quickly.  

“Oh my god,” your hand slips from his for the first time since you met, as you place them on your head. “Three soulmates,” you repeat trying to wrap head around it.  

It's not unheard of sure, but three. You just found out you actually had a soulmate and now he has three other soulmates.  

What if they can’t hear me? What if I can’t hear them? What if I only hear one of them? Or two of them? What if they ask him to choose? I can’t ask him to give up his soulmates. What if they don’t like me? What if-  

Your racing thoughts are cut off by Alex’s gentle touch on your arm.  

“Hey, hey, hey,” he says trying to calm you.  “Your thoughts are making me dizzy,” he chuckles.  

“What if"-  

“They would never make me choose and I know they’re going to love you,” he caresses your face. “Everything is going to be okay.”  

You sigh, calming at his touch. He moves to sit next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pull you close.  

“You don’t know that.”  

“I’ve got a feeling,” he says brushing his nose against yours before kissing it.  

You giggle and snuggle into him.  

Everything is going to be okay.  

I promise.  

You smile and look up at him, he smiles down at you and kisses your forehead.  

.

You decide it’s too much in one day to meet so many soul mates at once so you both decide to do it a few days later. You’re incredibly nervous as Alex walks you up the steps to the apartment, he shares with his other soul mates and quite possibly yours.

He turns to you.  

"You sure you're ready for this?"

You nod and give him a nervous smile.  

He smiles and kisses your hand in his.  

"I told them to be on their best behavior, so don't worry."

You chuckle lightly and squeeze his hand.

You take a deep breath as he opens the door. And you're immediately greeted with an onslaught of thoughts.

Oh, they’re back.

She’s finally here.

Gosh, I really hope all of this works.

Everything is going to be fine, don't worry.

Oui, mon cher, we'll all be alright.

Remember Alex wanted us to try and quiet our thoughts so we don't overwhelm her.

You pause in the doorway as you hear them all at once.

Alex grabs your arms to steady as you sway a bit.

"Are you okay, love?"

You laugh to yourself as you gain your balance and you realize you don't have to worry. You can hear them. All three of them in your head, three distinctive voices. Not only that, but you can feel the same pull you felt with Alex. The strings tying you to your three other soulmates. You look up at Alex.

"I can hear them," you say with a breathless smile.

Four soulmates, there's something I never thought would happen.

"You can?" He smiles brightly at you.  

You nod with the same smile.

"You better start believing baby because we can hear you too."

You and Alex turn to see your three other soulmates, three of the most handsome men you've ever seen.  

The tallest one comes to greet you. His smile is gentle and warm, you're surprised by how much you want to run into his arms.  

"It’s wonderful to meet you, Alex has told us so much about you. My name is Hercules." He gently takes your hand in his and kisses the back of your hand softly.

I don’t think I’ve ever met so many handsome men at once before.

Hercules smiles at you still holding your hand.

"Well, thank you," he chuckles. "I don’t think we’ve ever been graced with a woman as beautiful as you."

Your cheeks redden as you realize they all heard the thought.

You look behind him to see the two other men smiling from ear to ear. They are next to approach you, the one with the French accent is the first to introduce himself.

"I am Gilbert du Montier de Lafayette." He chuckles as your eyes widen. "But you, mon ange, can call me Lafayette."

He kisses your hand, much like Hercules and gives you a dazzling smile.

"And me, baby girl, I’m John Laurens, call me anything you'd like."

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms.

You smile at him.

“Well consider your waiting done.” You hold out your arms to him and he is quick to embrace you.  You giggle as he nuzzles your neck. You’re once again surprised by how right it feels to be in his arms.

Lafayette is next to embrace you after John is convinced to let you go, he quickly goes into Alex’s waiting embrace. Laf holds you close and releases a breath, like he’s been waiting just to hold you and he can finally relax. He kisses your temple before he pulls away and lets Hercules have his turn.  

Herc embraces you gently at first, as if your too precious to hold too tightly. He holds you tighter, when you nuzzle into his chest.  

I hope you can get used to this, cupcake, because it won’t be letting up.

Get used to this? Definitely.  

He chuckles and kisses the top of your head and pulls away slightly to look at you. He caresses your face as you look up at him.  

“You sure you can handle all of us?”

You look away from Hercules and at your three other soulmates, staring at you expectantly with hopeful smiles.

“Can I handle being loved by four incredibly handsome and kind men?” You pretend to think about it, as they laugh. “Yeah,” you nod, “I think I can handle that.”

6 Months Later...

I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late.

You hear Alex’s voice running through your mind, as you get ready on this particularly hectic morning since you all woke up late.

“Shouldn’t he be thinking we’re late,” John says as he slides next to you to fill his thermos with coffee as you hand him Alex’s ready to go. “We do work in the same place.”

You chuckle as you place a soft kiss to his lips and then his cheek.  

“You know how one track minded Alex can be,” you placate him, rubbing his arm.

He pulls you into his arms and kisses your cheek and down to your neck.

“I think I might being getting one track minded with you,” he whispers in your ear making laugh breathlessly.

You pull him away slightly with a smile.

“Your mind should be on work,” you give him a quick kiss before pulling way completely and fixing his suit.

He sighs. 

“But when we get back my minds going back,” he smirks and kisses your cheek.

“That’s fair,” you laugh. “Now, you have to get going.”

You walk behind him and lightly push him out of the kitchen.

“Alex, darling, breakfast,” you catch him just as he’s running past you to the door.  

You hold out a bag for him to take and he grabs it quickly and continues, before pausing turning back and pulling you into his arms and kissing tenderly. He’s pulls away smiling.

“Thank you,” he says as he gives you a last quick peck. “I love you,” he shouts as he walks out the door.

John shakes his head and pulls you into him for a quick kiss of his own.

‘We’ll see you tonight, baby girl,” he kisses your cheek before heading out after Alex.

You laugh to yourself and turn right into Lafayette's arms.

“Have our frantic lovers left, mon ange?” He asks, as he pulls you close and nuzzles your neck.

You giggle softly and play with his hair as he hums into your neck.

“Yes, they just walked out, although I have to say one was far more hectic than the other.”

He feel him laugh into your neck before he pulls back to place a slow, soft kiss to your lips.

“I can’t believe we have to work on a Saturday,” he sighs, resting his forehead against yours.  

“I’m sorry, my love, but at least we’ll all have tonight and tomorrow to spend all together,” you try to soothe him.  

He nods and caresses your cheek.  

“At least,” he kisses you softly once more, before going to the bedroom. 

He walks back out a few minutes later. You’re at the table finishing your coffee, and he lifts your head so you’re looking up at him. You smile and rise up from your seat so you can embrace him. He wraps his arms around you kisses your neck once.

“I will miss you, mon ange,” he says brushing some of your hair from your face.

“The day will fly by, and we’ll all be here waiting when you’re done.”

You smile gently and press your lips to his for a soft kiss.

“Now, go before you’re late, my love.”

He smiles and kisses your hand before heading for the door. You turn to head back to the kitchen, when his voice whispers in your mind.

I love you, mon coeur.

You smile as you turn back to him and think your response.

I love you.

He smiles brightly at you before closing the door behind him. As you begin washing the dishes from the quick breakfast you and Herc made this morning, you feel his arms circle around your waist. He kisses your shoulder as you lean into him.  

“I’m glad I only have to go in a couple hours today.”

“I know at least I get one of you for most of the day,” you reply turning in his arms. “That's the benefit of having multiple soulmates, you’ll always have one of them with you.”

He laughs and kisses your temple, cheek and places a tender kiss to your lips.  

“Truly a wonderful benefit, cupcake,” he bumps your nose with his before lifting you into his arms.

“Babe!” You giggle in surprise.

“I think we should get in some quality cuddles while we miss our soulmates together.”

“A wise suggestion, love,” you nod seriously in agreement.

He smiles wide as he jumps on the bed with you in his arms making you laugh in unison.

*

Later that evening as you’re snuggled in bed with all your lovers you sigh in contentment.  

Happy, baby girl?

You laugh as you snuggle deeper into Johns chest.  

With all of you? Always.

He pulls you closer and kisses the top of your head.

I am also happiest with you, mes amours.

Laf chimes in, from behind John.

I love you all so much.  

Alex is next to think out from behind you.

Nothing is better than this.

Herc is the last to say, as you all snuggle in closer.  

“Who’s on Y/n duty?” Hercules muttered to the other boys, eyeing you across the room coming out of the bathroom. 

It had been ages since you and the boys had a night out- everyone had been working so much and so hard, there just simply wasn’t time. And when there was time, everyone was just exhausted. Tonight, you, John, Alex, Hercules and Lafayette finally had the opportunity to go out and drink a little for the weekend. 

But going out with you was a task, the boys soon found out when they first started dating you. It had been over a year since you started your joint relationship and they loved you dearly. But going out was the same. Eyeing you carefully and making sure you didn’t start anything…

You were incredibly defensive. Over yourself, over your boys. You wouldn’t take shit from people lightly. Or at all, really. 

So going out to a bar, with you ever so slightly wasted, didn’t seem like the perfect plan, but the boys came up with their own. 

“Okay.” Alexander slurred, about as drunk as you were right now. The both of you were especially competitive, and when one of you decided to challenge the other to how fast they could drink, you were both determined to win. And that ended up with you drunk, Alexander completely drunk, John tipsy, Lafayette in a fit of laughter, and Hercules muttering to himself about driving the four of you home tonight. “We just gotta hug her real tight, and squeeze the anger out of her if she gets a little angsty.” Alex looked proud of himself for the suggestion. 

Lafayette shook his head, giggling at him. “No, Alex. We need a more… foolproof plan.”

“Foolproof plan for what?” You asked, stumbling over to the group and then into Herc who wrapped an arm around your waist immediately to stop you from falling over. 

“Keeping you out of trouble.” He answered bluntly and you scrunched your face up at him.

“Trouble? What trouble?”

John laughed at you and turned to look at Alexander, who was counting something on his fingers. Perhaps, how many rounds of drinks he had had. Grabbing his hands to divert Alexander’s attention, John tucked a few loose hairs behind his lover’s ear before tenderly kissing his cheek. Alex forgot whatever he was doing and instantly turned with those same, deeply in love eyes to wind a hand into John’s curly hair and place a kiss on his lips.

“AWWWW.” You said loudly, completely melting at the sight. You did this every time you witnessed such a sight. Especially, when you were drunk and have no volume control. 

“Hey, homo. Go someplace else.” Someone suddenly said. 

Immediately, you jumped up, Herc grabbing your arm in warning as you looked around for the source of the voice. You found him quick, a tall guy with a beer in his hand glaring angrily at Alexander and John, who were still in their tender position, looking appalled. 

“What did you say?” Alexander asked angrily. 

The guy’s stare hardened. “I said, go someplace else, you homos.”

Before Herc even realised you were slipping out of his grasp, you bounded towards the guy, giving him a hard shove in the chest, taking him by surprise as he stared at the 5’3 tiny woman in front of him. “How dare you speak to my boyfriends like that,” you growled, and his eyes widened.

“Your boyfriends? That’s even worse. Get out of here and take your bitch with yo-” you swung your arm up and your fist collided with his jaw. “WHAT THE HELL?!” He yelled. 

It was a surprisingly good hit for someone so drunk, but you still had to resist the urge to cry out at the pain that shot through your hand, shaking it behind your back.

“Mon amor, you should stop while you’re ahead. We’ll just leave.” Lafayette laid a hand on your arm.

“Yes, we will.” You said, satisfied with what you had accomplished. You turned, accepting Laf’s hand as you began to walk away. 

Behind you, you heard the quiet, muttered, “Psycho bitch.” You turned around so fast Lafayette was almost not quick enough, quickly wrapping his arm around you and pushing you into Hercules instead.

“Let me at him again!” You screamed, struggling as Herc dragged you out of the bar and to the car outside. 

“Jesus, nothing stops you woman.” Hercules grunted. 

“Can’t say she wouldn’t take a bullet for us though-did you see how fast she turned around?” John laughed, dragging Alex next to him. 

“Maybe a movie night is a better idea next time.” Lafayette mumbled, helping you get into the car before you decided to potentially attack someone again. He placed you in the middle of him and Alexander, putting John in the front seat. Maybe the two drunks should stay in one place, was Laf’s suggestion. 

Hercules jumped into the front, starting the engine and taking off before someone recognised you and they spent the night down at the police station. 

The car was silent before you let out a long sigh. “Are you mad at me?” You asked, and the boys all laughed. 

“Never.” Alexander pulled you into him, pressing a kiss to your temple. 

“Why would we be? You showed that guy who not to mess with.” John said from the front. 

“You really showed him, Y/n.” Lafayette leaned against you on the other side. 

“Nice to know you have our backs.” Hercules laughed. “Just… don’t attack anyone next time?”

You crossed your arms. “No promises.”

They all laughed again.
