"So, I am staying at your place for the weekend?" Levi asked, trying to bite back his smile.

"For the hundredth time, yes," I told him, watching as he set his bag down in the corner of his room before picking up the bag he already had packed.

"Okay, just making sure," he murmured, grabbing onto my hand and practically dragging me out the door.

"You're adorable," I said, smiling at him.

"No, you're adorable," he mumbled, glancing back at me for a second.

"Then, let's be adorable together!" I exclaimed, grinning brightly.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"I've never noticed how many books you had," Levi said as he looked through my bookshelf.

"You must be partially blind," I told him, smiling slightly as he pulled a book out of the shelf.

"My sight is perfect, I'm just distracted whenever I come over," he protested, taking a seat next to me as he read the description on the back of the book.

"Are you actually going to read that or what?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my boyfriend.

"Probably not. Too many distractions," he replied, setting it down on the night stand.

"I've been trying to finish a book for ages now, but people kept interrupting me," I muttered, crossing my arms.

"You poor thing," Levi said sarcastically.

"Seriously, everyone's interrupting my reading. Even Mason, who keeps bugging me about my brother," I grumbled, letting out a huff.

"Are you sure he's interested in Elijah and not you?" the brunette questioned, raising an eyebrow at me.

"Yeah, he told me himself. You scared him off," I told him, leaning over and pecking him on the cheek.

"Good, I don't want him near my boyfriend," Levi said, smiling smugly.

"Whatever."

The brunette glanced at the nightstand again, reaching over to try and look through the drawers. I felt my face flush as I grabbed at his arm to stop him.

"Why can't I look through your drawers, huh? What's in there?"

"Nothing! Shut up!" I half-shouted at him, my eyes wide with fear.

I wasn't going to let him figure out what was in there anytime soon.

"You're adorable, and weird," he said, leaning over to peck me on the lips.

"Just don't look in the drawers, please?" I pleaded, pouting at him.

"Fine, but now I'm curious..."

"No!"

"Why is he here?" Elijah asked, narrowing his eyes at Levi.

"He's staying over for the weekend, and why don't you go fawn over Mason?" I questioned bitterly.

"I'm not fawning over him," Eli argued, crossing his arms as he pouted at me.

I smirked at my brother, "Mhm, if you say so."

"Shut up!" he shouted, storming out of my room and slamming the door behind him.

"I feel bad for that door," Levi mumbled, draping his arm over my shoulders.

"Me too..."

"How're you getting those two together?" the brunette asked.

"I pointed out the fact that Mason had dropped his wallet and Elijah went to go give it back to him, they just have to wait for two years. My job's already done," I said. "Introduce my brother to his soulmate and he'll take care of the rest."

"Soulmate? That's a bit far-fetched," he commented, raising his eyebrows at me.

"Soulmate? Is that what I said?" I questioned, laughing nervously.

"Are you okay?" Levi asked me, leaning into my side.

"No...I mean yes," I said, pursing my lips.

He looked into my eyes, "Okay, what's up?"

"Nothing, nothing's wrong," I mumbled, glancing away sheepishly.

"You can tell me, c'mon," he assured me, resting his head on my shoulder.

I thought about it for a moment before I replied, "Promise you won't freak out?"

"Now you're scaring me," Levi said, pecking me on the cheek, "I'll try not not freak out though."

"I can see soulmates...two people are connected by a red string, unless they don't have a soulmate. I like to get those people together because I want to know some people will have guaranteed happiness," I told him, looking away from him so I couldn't see his reaction.

"Are we...are we soulmates?" Levi asked, sounding slightly shaken up.

"Yeah..." I trailed off.

He pressed his lips to my cheek, "Thank god, I thought this was going to have some screwed up plot twist."

I glanced up at the brunette, "You're okay with that?"

"Very...I wouldn't mind getting stuck with you forever," he replied, pecking me on the lips.

I grinned, "I love you."

"I love you too."
