Aizawa's POV
xXx
"Honestly, Shimizu-chan… Knitting? Really?" I looked over at the blonde who nodded furiously. She had been wanting to learn how to knit since… who knows when, but she had finally gone out, got a learning-how-to-knit- book, dozens of colors in string, and a few knitting needles and she was all set.
"And you three are going to help!" She exclaimed, which was replied with a groan from us all. Don't get me wrong; I like Raimei, but sometimes whenever she got frustrated with something, she gets… Frustrated. Heavily frustrated, to be exact. I don't think we'd want to be around when she had something tiny and sharp in her hands when she got that way.
"…Yaaaaaay…" We all cried out unenthusiastically and she rolled her eyes.
"This'll be fun, I promise."
"Just promise not to stab our eyes out when you get mad." Sensei grumbled under his breath and I snickered. He sat down next to Rokujou, who scowled slightly and grabbed a pair of needles. I sat down to the left of Sensei, grabbing a pair of the knitting needles as well.
Raimei smiled. "See? It's fun already! I think I want to use the red string first~!" She said, grabbing the crimson colored thread. "…Aizawa-kun, want to help me get the supporting thread in the beginning, like it says I should?"
I don't know what she means by that, but I agreed and sat by her, helping her get the supporting thread. I kept glancing at Tobari, who finally started helping after we got everything set up, and flushed slightly.
The look on his face was a concentrated look, one he always had when he fought. "Aizawa?" Raimei called and I swallowed slightly, still looking at Sensei. He didn't seem to realize what he was doing, and he looked up at me.
My eyes widened and I looked away.
Dammit! That was so obvious!
He shot me a confused look and I looked at Miharu instead, trying to distract myself. But there was a shriek from Raimei, and I looked down.
My hands were trapped (not to mention threaded) into the yarn… with Sensei's hands trapped as well. I sighed. Really?
"Just get us out Raimei."
xXx
It took her and Miharu one hour to finally get us out, but there was still a red thread attached to our pinkies.
Raimei, realizing what happened, smirked slightly and looked down at us. "Well, look at that, Rokujou…"
"The red string of fate." Miharu answered, looking at us.
"You know what that means, right, Aizawa? I know Sensei does…" She said and I looked down.
Of course I knew what it meant… I thought. The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances.
But the string is never broken. This is just yarn. It'll break…
I looked at Sensei; his face was as red as my eyes. "It means that…"
"You two are soulmates!" She let out a high-pitched squeal, which even caused me to cower down slightly and blush.
"Shut up, Shimizu-chan!"
She sighed happily. "Maybe we should knit more often, if I knew that this was going to happen!"
"Just get us out!" We both said at the same time, both of us heavily blushing.
"Nope, I don't think I want to! C'mon, let's go have lunch Miharu." She said, taking Rokujou's hand and leading him out the door. In a flash, they were gone.
I looked at Sensei. "So…"
"We could cut it if you want."
"We sorta have to, Sensei…" He sighed, stood (tugging on the string, which indicated that I should stand as well) and walked over to the counter, grabbing the scissors. I looked up at him. "Wait!"
"What?" He asked, looking me in the eye. I took a deep breath and took the scissors from his hand.
"Maybe… Maybe Shimizu-chan was right… Maybe we are?" I said and stood on my tip-toes, kissing his cheek lightly. I then pulled away, blushing heavily.
"Maybe." He agreed, leaning down, pressing his lips against mine.
xXx
… I could not stop giggling at this, I don't even know why I did this, I don't even knit! I had to look up what the knitting needles were called… *shame*
Koichi: Really? "Soulmates", Mira? Really?
Yes, "soulmates", Aizawa-chan. I thought it was cute.
Koichi: *grumbles* and why did I have to kiss his cheek?
IT WAS CUTE :I
Koichi: *raises hands defensively*
Yoite: There was some Raimei x Miharu stuff… D8
Hush up, Yoite, I didn't mean for it to be like that. I just needed them to leave so they could kiss.
Yoite: …fair enough…
Tobari: I see what you did there.
Yes, yes… Onwards to number three! :D
By the way, I looked up "red string of fate" and here's the website I used (just remove the spaces):
