Paintbrush's POV...

I was in art class, bored as hell. My mother looks at me with daggers, telling me to fix my posture and focus. It's not my fault that she's my mother AND she works here, she forced me to be in her elective and forced me to come to her art room EVERY BREAK, I can't handle it! I scoffed, looking away and still played with my pencil while she continued explaining about primary colors.

"Alright class! Listen up okay? So we're gonna mix colors to prove that you know your primary, secondary, and intermediate colors! Please get into groups of four!"
Perfect. I could have lightbulb, fan, and test tube in my group. I go to the bunch to ask them if they wanna group up.
"Sure painty! I don't mind pairing with ya!"
"Same with me and fan right?"
"You know it!" We laugh together, going to the stained sink to start grabbing the three colors and the cups.

I look at lightbulb, staring at her while she plays with her hair and pencil, acting like it's a curling iron. I giggle at her silliness, her looking at me and waving while walking to me, sitting next to me. Fan and Test Tube came back with the supplies, us squirting it in the cups.
"Okay! Now can someone make orange for us and show it to the class?"

I scoff some more, twirling the pencil. My mom glares at me again, but I didn't give two fucks about it.

After school, I went over to ask double T, Fan, and LightB if they wanted to go to the store right next to our school.

"Sorry PB, I have to tutor for my hours..." Said Test Tube.

"I'm going home early because I have a spoiled lemon concert to go to..." Said Fan, rubbing the back of their neck.

"Well I'm free painty, it could be some quality president co president bonding time!" Said LB, smiling widely. I smile back, regretting asking. I like hanging out with Lightbulb, I just can't contain my big bubble of emotions to her, mainly about love...I can't disobey my soulmate, but I really love Lightbulb.

"We can go now right? When is your practice?"
"We have a game today at 6, volleyball's stressful, so I'm skipping practice" Lightbulb said, stretching her arms out while balancing on the elevated part of the sidewalk, stumbling a little like she was about to fall. I look at her, smiling and blushing when I look back to the ground. We arrived at The Object Mart. I go inside while LB follows me. I looked around for some food I could eat raw. I looked over to see that Lightbulb was looking down the candy aisle. I silently laughed.

"Do you want anything?"

"O-oh! Uhm..." She looks down, rubbing her arm.

"You don't need to feel bad or pay me back, I want to buy you something okay?"

Lightbulb has a difficult time accepting offers. She hates asking favors because she thinks it takes up the other's time. I hug her, slightly bending as I am a tad bit taller than her. She hugs back. I feel small droplets on my neck, realizing that she's crying. I comfort her.

After a bit of being in the candy aisle, she pulls back, looking down like she's about to cry.
"Don't cry about it okay? You didn't take anybody's time up alright? You're okay alright?" I pull her chin to look at me. It was then that I started seeing color in my vision. I gasp, looking at her some more before realizing...she was my soulmate...

"Light...did you-"

"Color came..."

"Y-you're joking...-"

"I-I...I'm sorry..."

She sounded like she was ready to break down. I got ready for her to hug me and apologize.

"I'm sorry, you really don't deserve me I-"

"Lightbulb..."

"You deserve someone better"

"Lightbulb..!"

"I- don't know what to do to let god change your soulmate I-"

"Lightbulb!"

"I-I can't be your soulmate, this must be a mistake! I don't deserve you I don't I should be in hell-"

"LIGHTBULB BRIGHT WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME!?"

She stops hyperventilating, giving her attention to me.

"Please, listen to me...I have loved you for the whole 6 years we've been together and I couldn't have been happier that my soulmate was you..."

I hug her lovingly, kissing her forehead. We stayed like that in the candy aisle for a minute before pulling back. We were both teary eyed.

"I-...I love you so much PB...thank you I-"

"shh shh shh...don't worry about thanking me...now how about some chocolate and candy corn? You want those?"

she sniffles a bit, nodding yes while hugging the side of me.

BONUS:

Paintbrush and Lightbulb are in line, rocking side to side while waiting. The line was so long, so they ended up standing a lot.

"You're really clingy huh?"

"Oh-"

"In a cute and adorable way LB...I don't mind an adorable and small panda hugging onto me..." PB said, stroking Lightbulb's hair as lightbulb snuggled closer to them.

After about 5 minutes in the store, they finally got out with paying their things. While walking back to school to grab their things and walk to the bus stop together, they run into none other than a shadow of Test tube and Fan. Seeing as they both were finished, they were about to run in and greet them, but as they got closer, they started to find out that they were kissing. Lightbulb gasped, about to jump in, but paintbrush covered her mouth, pulling her back behind a bush as well as themselves.

"This is a special moment for them okay? Let's not ruin it okay?"

Lightbulb looked up at paintbrush, nodding while smiling with happiness. They walk away, texting each other's parents, saying they're coming home soon with a bit of good news...

Who knew finding their soulmate would be in the candy aisle...
