“Hey doll,” a new voice said from Tony’s side.
Tony glanced at the person approaching.
Someone was working the rugged, bad boy look. The new guy rocked a leather jacket and blue jeans.
His blue eyes lit up with joy as he approached Tony. “Something wrong here?” The new guy gave the first guy--the one insisting he was Tony's soul mate--a once over then turned his full attention on Tony. “You’re looking a little stressed, anything I can do?”
Tony took the hint.
Tony wrapped his hand around the new guy’s elbow. He kept his touch light and breakable in case he’d misread the cue.
“Just some guy claiming to be my soul mate, babe.”
The new guy’s eyebrows rose to his hairline in surprise. He chuckled and gave the first guy a smirk. “Strange. Last time I checked we were soul mates.”

There are days where Tony regrets not going back on his word, where he wishes he had told Steve “No, actually, keep that murderer out of my house and as far from me as possible.” Pepper and Rhodey even said he should. Not in as many words, certainly not because of Barnes, but because they know Tony.
Tony knows, though, that the safest place for Barnes—and everyone else, since the first day people found out about the Winter Soldier more and more civilians were getting grand ideas about bringing him in—is the Tower. His only stipulation is that Steve keeps Barnes away from him.
His timer is steadily ticking toward zero, to the day he meets his soulmate, but to be honest? Tony has a lot more on his mind than someone fate picked out for him.

In a universe where you can make contact with your soulmate by drawing onto your skin, Bucky's soulmate immediately stands out. It doesn't bother Bucky too much his soulmate puts them in places where only they can see, the drawings are for him, and that's enough. They are so much more complicated, more detailed, more beautiful than the ones others get, after all.
One day the marks on his skin are not drawings, and they mark a pivotal change in their relationship. A change that ends with Bucky being disillusioned and enlisting. The loss of his arm overseas is just a step above the rock bottom they must reach before it gets better.
This is a story about two soulmates, lost and broken. But aren't broken things more beautiful for the cracks?

The first time someone tells you that they love you, the words are written on your skin. Gold for platonic love, red for romantic. Of course, people don't often say 'I love you' directly, but Tony in particular tends to give really strange marks.

Bucky/Tony

Tony hated the idea of soulmates. He really, really objected to it on multiple levels, the most important reason being because it seems to negate his entire idea of romance.
Example. Pepper. She is beautiful and amazing, and Tony is convinced they could have been something more together. Didn’t matter, though, because why would Pepper take a risk on seeing how they played out when she knew Tony wasn’t her soulmate? The answer was, she wouldn’t. Didn’t. Never mind that he’d danced at her wedding, and that Pepper and Natasha are perfect (and insanely attractive) together.
It’s the principle of the thing!

Maria calls him in a panic, freaking out in the middle of the night and that’s how he ends up outside of MIT looking for Tony. Its the first time he’s seen him in a decade and it turns out he’s not too hard to spot because he’s got a bright personality, the kind that draws people in or maybe he’s biased. Tony seems to notice him at almost the same time and he grins, immediately shoving his books into the poor kid’s arms beside him and running over to him. Bucky doesn’t expect Tony to launch himself at him but he catches him nonetheless.
“Bucky!” Tony says excitedly, arms circling around his neck.

Loneliness had followed Tony Stark his entire life, so they were on pretty good terms. Ignoring those empty places inside of himself was easier once the day was in full swing, but the mornings had a way of slipping a knife between his ribs, and getting him right in the heart.
The last place Tony expected to find the cure for his condition was on TV, but now watching the morning weather report has become the highlight of his day. Well, it was less the weather, and more the weatherman. One look at Bucky Barnes making some adorably lame joke about umbrellas, all lopsided smile and sparkling eyes, and Tony was in love.
