Summary
Otabek met his soulmate a long time ago.
A few months into their friendship, Yuri asked about it. “Are they shitty?” he asked, tapping two fingers against the black mark as casually as anything. They sat side by side in two ornate, decorative chairs in the lobby of the dance studio.
Otabek huffed a laugh through his nose. “What makes you say that?”
“You dropped them, didn’t you?” Yuri shrugged, slouching back into the stiff cushions and hooking a leg over the arm of the chair in a futile attempt to get comfortable.
“Is yours shitty?” Otabek asked, nodding down at Yuri’s wrist.
“Fuck if I know,” Yuri scoffed. He flicked his wrist upwards, flashing his own row of zeros.
Otabek’s lips twitched. “You don’t know who they are?”
“Don’t care, either,” Yuri said flippantly.
Otabek nodded.Series

Summary
All his life, Viktor has been watching the step counter on his wrist, waiting to meet his soulmate. He's done experiments—he knows how the counter reacts when he hops and spins and leaps and crawls and somersaults. He's calculated his steps per mile at ten different walking speeds. So Viktor knows he's about to meet his soulmate. He's practically choking with anticipation.
Yuuri covered his step counter when he was sixteen. Courtesy of anxiety, everything already feels cosmically significant all the time. He doesn't need the actual cosmos weighing in.
Yuuri is late, running full tilt across his college campus when he crashes into Viktor. Viktor falls, Yuuri catches him, and then Yuuri's gone, leaving Viktor with a broken heart, a spilled coffee, and a luxury sweater from a boutique called "Giacometti". Cue a scavenger hunt, a Venmo war, and an increasingly improbable series of near-misses.
