The Glowing Chest Soulmates Meme

It's easier to understand metaphors when they're not metaphors. The human brain just prefers concrete information. Luckily for you, you live in a world where there's one less abstract; for as long as you can remember, you've known about the glow. The "glow" is exactly what it sounds like - it's a glowing in your chest, emanating from your heart, that you receive when you meet the one. Your soulmate. Your actual, indisputable soulmate.
The glow doesn't always automatically happen when you meet that person. Sometimes, there's a delay. Sometimes, you've known them for years before it kicks in. When it happens, though, you'll know. You can't simply ignore your ribcage lighting up.
Other than that, the glow isn't harmful, per se, at least not physically. Psychologically, it can be pretty taxing, because there's virtually no chance of escaping fate. You will end up with the person you glow for. It's a given. Sure, you can try to defy it. You won't explode or anything. You will, however, begin to feel a sense of incompleteness that comes from trying to stay away, and fighting the growing - and glowing - feelings of fondness and the desire to be with them and to protect them.

How to Play
at first sight ♡ The traditional glow. Of course, this can make first meetings awkward.
friends ♡ You've known each other for a while, then one day, you both light up.
exactly who you wanted ♡ Yes! Jackpot! They're totally the person you've always dreamed of being with.
hate ♡ ...are you serious? They're your bully! Your rival! Your enemy! There has to be something wrong here.
forbidden ♡ You're glowing for somebody totally wrong, whether it's wrong by law - a relation or age difference - or some other manner.
distaste ♡ You view this whole process with a critical eye. Doesn't mean your exempt.
with someone else ♡ You thought you found the one and were just waiting for the glow to show, but then, you started up with another person.
inopportune time ♡ Nobody likes their big speech ruined by a glowing heart.
unfortunate implications ♡ These sorts of memes rarely explore how creepy the idea of soulmates intrinsically is. What if you end up with someone you are ultimately incompatible with? What if you're miserable?
doing something big ♡ They just saved you from certain death! Rescued you from captors! Loaned you five bucks! And how do you repay them except by starting off their glow.
fighting it ♡ Nope. Nope. Not going to happen. You won't give in. You'll be the first in history to shake it off.
giving in ♡ ...you were saying? Might as well get together.
first time ♡ The obligatory sex option. Sex is like sealing the deal, and some report their whole bodies lighting up.
ANYTHING ELSE?

I'll give you surprises, he thinks to himself.

It isn't long before he needs to move one his hands to his own aching cock to stroke it. He's not out to torture himself at the moment.

He sinks back on to his heels and straightens up. He'll get his breath back in just a second, but his self satisfied smirk says it all.

For a moment all is quiet and still, but only for a moment, before Todd springs from restful inaction to action, bolting forward to tackle his lover and push him backwards, onto the sand, hands gripping his upper arms to pin him to the ground, legs straddling the human's thighs. "With you looking so smug, one might think you believe us to be done." A smirk stretches thin lips, baring sharp teeth. "We are far from it, I assure you."
no subject
"I think that round went to me," he says and sounds as smug as he looks. "What have you got in min this time?"

He brings a hand up to rest at the back of Todd's head. "This bond maybe a little weird, but I like what I am seeing."
no subject
The old Wraith pushed up lightly against that touch, lifting his head away from John's neck to instead to press his lips to his lover's. Kissing may not exactly come naturally to him, but it is a show of affection that he's more than willing to adopt.
no subject
He parts his lips invitingly.
no subject
Hands roam, claws scratching lightly down John's chest and belly, until hands reaches to hook under his thighs, pulling his legs up until they are resting on the Wraith's shoulders.
no subject
His body shifts, responsive to every light touch, and wow he feels exposed like this. He's got no real leverage, and that hand could bring him pleasure, or feed from him and he wouldn't be able to, or want to say no.
no subject
He makes his way down, with both tender kisses and sharper bites to leave makes behind, from throat to chess, and down, until he with his hands gripping John's hips dips his head down between his legs, clever tongue running over his balls and back to his ass.
no subject
It sets him on fire, every nerve jingling and he makes it known, with a variety of heart felt swears. 'Your tongue.' It is all he can think, he can feel how different it is to a human's. The rougher texture leaves him breathless. He lifts his head a little to see Todd at work and he shudders at the look of pure lust still in the Wraith's eyes. He gives up on trying to send words, and sends the emotions, and the blissed out, floating feeling.
no subject
He takes his time with it, pleased with John's enjoyment of his ministrations, and wanting to make him as relaxed and open as possible. And, it gives himself ample time to recover, once again growing hard and ready.
Hands move, stroking over warm skin, until the Wraith finally moves up, settled between John's legs and seeking his eyes, wordlessly asking for permission to continue.
no subject
"Promise. You don't need to check. Fuck me."
no subject
Reaching down between them to steady himself, he starts to press inside, slowly at first put as John relaxes it gets easier to slide in, burying himself to the hilt inside the other man. He takes a moment to breathe, to simply enjoy the feeling of the tight fit and the heat surrounding him. Then he starts to move, with slow, deep strokes of his hips.
no subject
His breaths are coming out in a series of small moans. He reaches up to find Todd's spines and rub them in time with the strokes. This is about both of them. With each new trust John finds it harder and harder to separate them, they are two halves of one whole..
no subject
As the pleasure and passion grows, the thrusts start to come harder, faster, touches less light, little nips becoming sharper bites. The old Wraith is not shy about showing his enjoyment, and thought he isn't exactly verbal, he is vocal enough, with everything from moans to growls to sighs telling of his pleasure.
