Don't Forget Where You Belong

Before reading, let me just briefly explain the details of this AU. In this AU, the concept of "soul mates" is real. Everyone has one and you usually find your soul mate in your mid-twenties (however some people find theirs earlier). When you find your soul mate, that person may not be aware that they're yours yet. So you have to wait. But it'll happen.

Alex isn't stupid. He knows that all these things he's been feeling and thinking are just symptoms of something much bigger than he would care to acknowledge. His mom's words about how patient he is come back to haunt him all the time now. Because while he's already realized that John is his soul mate, John has literally not the slightest clue yet. And that's the most painful thing out of the whole situation.
