A/N: Oof I wanna apologise for the ending of this, I've rewritten it for the third time and I'm still not 100% sure about the end but overall it is a lot better than my first few attempts so uh, I'll take that. I even took a pretty photo to go along with it so whoo I put in effort. Also if Freed did have a soulmate, I reckon their soulmark would be so hecking pretty, that's pretty much the only reason I wrote this...hehehe
Soulmates. Everyone supposedly had one. And it was said to be the most magical experience of your life when you met them only, for Y/n it had only proven to be the most confusing experience of her life. The dark purple soulmarks which circled both her wrists had granted her years and years of confusion which she had thought would end once she joined Fairy Tail however she was wrong. Her suspicions had begun a couple of months ago when she had been in Magnolia for a solo mission, he wrist had been glowing a deeper purple and so, she walked around town, curiosity making her follow the glowing symbols on her wrist which lead her to the front doors of Fairy Tail.
She had brushed it off and had completed her mission, deciding that she would ignore whatever this meant and continued with her life. If only it was that easy.
The niggling feeling at the back of her mind began bugging her after another week and she found herself purchasing another train ticket to Magnolia after explaining to her current guildmates that she may not be returning.
That was what led her here. She was stood in front of the Fairy Tail building, trying to build up the courage to go inside. Everything she had heard about the guild said they were all nice, a little rowdy but overall good people, however, something stopped her. Soulmarks couldn't always be completely reliable and even though she had been led here, there was any number of mages in this guild who could be her soulmate! How was she supposed to find out who it was?
Before long, she realised that she had been stood outside for a long time, probably seeming somewhat strange to passersby and so, she steeled herself and pushed open the doors to the guild.
All eyes were focussed on the H/c girl when she entered the guild and she found herself absentmindedly pulling down her sleeves to cover her soulmark when a kind voice called out.
"Hello, are you wanting to join the guild?" The voice came from a cheerful looking white-haired woman who stood behind the bar in the centre of the guild hall and Y/n found herself nodding without thinking.
"No problem," the same voice continued "I'm Mirajane, it's nice to meet you...?"
"Y/n," The H/c mage supplied helpfully and Mirajane smiled in response.
"What type of magic do you use?" She asked, to which Y/n replied with
"I use shadow magic,"
Mirajane nodded and asked her to wait a moment whilst she fetched master Makarov, returning a moment later with a short man who grinned up at her.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail kid," he spoke and Mirajane approached behind him.
"Where would you like your guild mark?" She asked and the H/c girl replied saying her upper arm.
She pulled her sleeve up, hoping that no one would notice the slightly glowing mark on her wrist.
Luckily, no-one mentioned it and she pulled her sleeve back down without incident.She soon learnt that Fairy Tail was in fact as chaotic as the news often stated. After she joined the guild, she was approached by who she soon learnt was Lucy. They became friends quickly and the blonde introduced her to the rest of her team who she also became quick friends with. Before she even knew it, she had been at Fairy tail for over a week.
It was early morning and Y/n sat at the bar in the guild, chatting with Mira about the mission she had gone on earlier in the week, her fingers absentmindedly running across her soulmark on her wrist. The white-haired mage seemed to notice this and asked
"Is that your soulmark?"
The H/c girl snapped her head up, unaware that Mira had noticed before slowly nodding her head. Mira took the H/c girl wrist gently in her hand, looking at the symbols which looped around her wrist.
"It's glowing," The take over mage stated, "Do you know who it is?"
Y/n shook her head and Mira frowned slightly. At that moment, Lucy and Erza decided to join them, the blonde wrapping an arm around Y/n and looking over her shoulder.
"Oohh are we talking about soulmates? Y/n you've never shown us your soulmark before!" Lucy spoke excitedly and the H/c girl blushed slightly.
"She doesn't know who it is though," Mira explained helpfully.
"And I don't want to know who it is, soulmates are stupid anyway," The H/c girl tried to argue however it seems the three girls wouldn't accept that.
"We're going to help you find your soulmate Y/n. Then you'll realise it's not stupid," Lucy spoke, to which Erza and Mira nodded in agreement. The H/c girl let out a sigh and said quietly
"Good luck, it's not anyone in the guild, I know that much,"
A frown formed on Mira's face at this new information.
"Are you sure?" She asked unsurely, to which the H/c girl nodded.
"It doesn't glow any brighter no matter where I am in the guild or who I'm talking to," The H/c girl added.
"Is there anyone you've never talked to?" Erza asked and the H/c girl shook her head.
"Not that I know of, I've spoken to everyone who's been here over the past week at least,"
Mira looked like she was going to say something however, the doors to the guild opening distracted her and she looked towards the door. Walking into the Guildhall was Laxus, followed closely by Freed, Evergreen and Bixslow.
Erza, Lucy and Mira's eyes all widened at the same time as their gazes snapped back towards Y/n's soulmark before flickering between that and the raijinshuu.
"These look like..." Mira started before Erza continued, looking at Mira and Lucy
"...Freed's runes!"
Throughout this conversation, Y/n sat confused, unsure who the other three were talking about. She turned around to look over her shoulder at the four who had just entered the guild and accidentally made eye contact with one of them. He stared at her with a sharp gaze, his blue eyes full of confusion before one of his teammates said something, pulling his attention back to them. His green hair fell over his face as he turned away and the H/c girl turned back to her own conversation, being met with three expectant looks.
"So?" Lucy asked expectantly
"So?" The H/c girl repeated
"What was that all about?" Mira asked curiously. The H/c girl looked at her in confusion before replying
"What was what all about?"
"The one you were staring at, he's your soulmate!" Lucy stated excitedly, leaving no room for arguments.
"Just because I made awkward eye contact with him?" Y/n asked to clarify, earning an exasperated sigh from the three girls sat with her.
"Your soulmark, it matches the rune magic he uses. And it makes sense, the raijinshuu often go on long missions so none of them will have been in the guild recently," Mira explained and gave a small laugh at the look of utter disbelief on Y/n's face.
"Well whatever, it's not like I'm going to do anything about it. I have no way of knowing for sure," Y/n asked, receiving grins directed her way.
"Leave it to us,"
At this, Y/n felt a slight bit of fear welling up inside her. That was never a good thing to hear.
"Don't look so scared, we're going to help you," Lucy grinned which did nothing to help calm Y/n's nerves.
"You saying to leave it to you is never a good sign....just don't do anything stupid or too extreme,"
"We promise we won't," All three of them spoke at the same time and Y/n almost sighed. This was probably a big mistake.
