“What’s he like?” he asks. He doesn’t have to clarify who he means; B has apparently followed his train of thought. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees her lips twitch into the ghost of a smile. He knows he’s not supposed to ask, but he can’t help himself. “I don’t mean, like, identifying details, but just… I can tell you know him well. Can’t you just tell me about who he is as a person?” “Well,” B begins, her expression going soft and fond, “he’s an incredible officer, but he’s so much more than that. He loves to read and write. He dresses like he’s allergic to color and has the musical tastes of someone twice his age. He’s gentle and kind, and more sensitive than he should be in this line of work. He’s… a hopeless romantic at heart.” “Really?” “Don’t tell him I told you that last part,” she warns with a huff of laughter. “Huh,” Alex says. He chews on his lower lip for a moment, thinking, until he finally gets up the courage to ask, “So what do you think the likelihood is that his soulmate is platonic?” B stretches back a little so she can look down at him, frowning a little. “Is that what you think?” “I… don’t really know, to be honest with you,” he answers quietly, feeling more than a little lost.
