What if Haru and Karasuma Renya were soulmates?
Things are getting tense

"It's good to see you again," Karasuma said to Haru once he started returning to the café. "I've been worried. You haven't been here for a while,"

"Thank you for your concern but my personal life is none of your business," Haru told him. "I have a life outside of work,"

"I would like to ask you out on a date," Karasuma offered. 'I'll make sure he never finds out the truth. At first I wanted him to rule the organization alongside me, but now I want to keep him away from such business,'

"No," Haru rejected. "I have a soulmate who's alive and well,"

"Have you met him face to face yet?" Karasuma asked. 'I can't believe I'm competing with myself for Haru-chan's affections!' "Give me a chance to prove myself to be worthy of you,"

"Krage-san, is this why you've been giving me large tips?" Haru frowned. "You think I'm someone who can be bought?"

"No," Karasuma shook his head. "I apologize if it was offensive. I meant no harm by it," 'You're much more than a price tag,'

Haru currently sat at his desk. "I know Regis is Latin for king. Does that mean that Krage is also Latin?" He used an online translator but no results came up. "Maybe I should use the detect language?" He did so and his eye twitched. "In Swedish…krage means collar?" After going through multiple languages, Haru stopped at Danish. "Krage means crow…"

'Krage Regis…' Haru thought. 'Crow King…No, it's just a coincidence. Karasuma Renya wouldn't make his alias that obvious,'

"Haru, dinner is ready," Subaru knocked on his door. "Haru?"

Haru opened the door. "Chewy, there's something I need to ask of you,"

"Okay, who do I need to kill?" Subaru asked.

"No, not that," Haru shook his head. "I need you to pretend to be my soulmate. Krage Regis asked me out on a date and I rejected him. He doesn't seem to be the type to give up so if I claim that Okiya Subaru is my soulmate, he'll leave me alone,"

"Are you sure I can't just kill him?" Subaru asked. "It'll be easier,"

"No because I'll be a suspect since I came into contact with him the most," Haru said.

The next morning, Haru was accompanied to work by Subaru. When Karasuma arrived, he glared at the strawberry-blonde man. "Haru-san, who is he?"

"My soulmate," Haru lied. "You said that I haven't met my soulmate face to face. Well, now I have and he and I hit off great,"

Karasuma's eye twitched. 'That man isn't his soulmate! Haru-chan is mine! He must've manipulated him!' "Hello. My name's Krage Regis. And you are?"

"Okiya Subaru," He shook the offered hand, noting the tightness of the grip as if the other wanted to break his hand. "Haru's soulmate,"

'Keep calm, Renya,' Karasuma forced himself to smile. "Really?"

"Yeah, I love him!" Haru hugged Subaru's arm. 'As a brother of course. I just want you to leave me alone, you creep,'

Karasuma dug his nails into his palm. "Would…would you both like to come to the party I'm hosting next month?"

"We would love to," Subaru claimed. 'Go die in a ditch you perverted bastard! The moment I see you trying to do something inappropriate with my precious baby brother, I'm going to torture you! I don't care if I get arrested, I won't let you take advantage of Haru!'

How was your day?

It was fine. I think I finally got that Krage Regis creep to leave me alone.

Karasuma was shocked by the word choice. 'H-He thinks I'm a creep?'

Did something happen?

He tried to ask me out on a date despite me claiming I have a soulmate. I felt like he wouldn't give up so I had my brother pretend to be my soulmate.

"Oh," Karasuma realized. "I see now…"

You're not responding. Are you mad?

No, I'm not mad. So…is that Krage Regis guy really that much of a bother to you?

Please don't offer to kill him. My brother already wants to kill him. I don't really want to be the reason why he dies.

Are you going to Krage Regis' party next month?

Yes to enforce the lie that my brother and I are soulmates. How'd you know?

I'll be attending. We can finally meet each other.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Karasuma was hurt by that statement. 'What's his reason?'

Why?

I already have a lot going on in my life. I'm sorry. I don't think I can handle a relationship at the moment. It wouldn't be fair to you.

"I can wait," Karasuma smiled. "I've already waited many years to just start communicating with you. I'll wait for you, Haru-chan,"

There was a new waiter at Café Poirot, Amuro Tooru, who was also apparently Mouri Kogoro's apprentice. When Karasuma arrived at the café, he immediately recognized him as Bourbon. Amuro tried to take his order but Karasuma glared at him. Amuro didn't take the hint. Then again, it's not like Amuro knew Karasuma's face.

"Amuro-san, please don't bother Krage-san," Azusa requested. "He'll only let Haru-san take his order,"

Karasuma gave his order to Haru once the man arrived and while he was waiting for his food to cook, he took a photo of Haru. "Please don't take photos of our staff without their permission," Amuro intervened, finding his behavior to be suspicious. A few seconds later, he received an email from the boss.

To: Bourbon
From: Boss
Subject: **** Off
**** off Bourbon!

Amuro looked up from his phone and was met with a death glare from Karasuma. 'N-No way! It can't be him! He wouldn't give his identity away like this!'

'It is the doubt that I wouldn't do something that would reveal my identity is what makes it easy to hide it,' Karasuma smirked. 'I'm sure Bourbon isn't a hundred percent certain that I'm the boss. He'll try to get more information on me, but I'll make sure that nothing is out of the ordinary,'

The night of the party came. He had several of his crows attend the party to ensure nothing went wrong. Of course none of them knew that Haru was his soulmate nor did they even know the boss' face, outside of Vermouth and Rum of course. They were just told that the mission was to be security for the party.

Of course the rich and noble families also attended. As if they were personal bodyguards, Haneda Shukichi and Okiya Subaru never left Haru's side. Everyone could feel the overprotective aura that filled the room. Karasuma didn't care and walked over to them. "Hello Haru-san, you look handsome,"

"T-Thank you Krage-san," Haru stuttered, trying to remain composed.

"I hope you enjoy the party this time," Karasuma said. "I didn't mean for my last party to be lame," He then left, not wanting to make Haru uncomfortable.

"Did you seriously call Krage-san's last party lame to his face?" Shukichi asked.

"No! I didn't say it to his face!" Haru's eyes widened. "I only told my soulmate that I thought these parties were lame. He said that he would be attending this party too. I think he was the one that told Krage,"

"So do you know who your soulmate is?" Subaru inquired. "I would love to…meet…him,"

"You're plotting his death, aren't you?" Haru groaned. "The entire Haneda Clan is in on it too, right?"

"…No?" Shukichi lied.

Haru recognized some of the crows but didn't make it known that he knew their criminal status. He'd rather not be targeted. While it was reassuring to have Subaru and Shukichi with him, it was rather annoying too. He excused himself to the bathroom and started writing a soul script.

Change of plans. My brothers are too overprotective and annoying. Let's meet up.

I'm not against meeting up, but you were rather adamant about not doing so.

I'm sorry if I came off as harsh. I'm just not looking for a full on relationship right now. Did you really come to Krage's party?

Yes. Meet me at the garden pavilion. We can just chat if that is what you wish for. Just a warning, you will most likely think I'm lying when I claim to be your soulmate.

Haru managed to sneak away and evaded his older brothers. He made his way to the pavilion and forced himself to not frown at the sight of the party's host. "Krage-san, is there anyone else at the pavilion?"

"Just me," He replied. "Let's chat,"

"I'm waiting for someone," Haru looked down at his hand.

Where are you?

Standing in front of you.

Haru looked at Karasuma and then at his hand. Karasuma turned his hand over for Haru to see the conversation they had shared. "Oh…" He cringed. "I guess you know that I called you a creep?"

"I don't hold it against you," Karasuma told him.

"Krage Regis isn't your real name," Haru furrowed his brows. "Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to write it,"

'I want him to call me by my real name, not some alias I created,' Karasuma thought. "My name is Karasuma Renya,"

Haru stood there with the same expression. "Can you please repeat that? I think the wind made me mishear you,"

"There was no wind but I'll repeat it anyway," Karasuma said. "My name is Karasuma Renya,"

"As in the guy who died forty years ago? The guy who owned the Sunset Manor where he murdered a bunch of detectives?"

'I was hoping that he hadn't heard about me,' Karasuma sighed. "No, that was my great-grandfather. I was an unwanted child and was given that name. That is why I prefer to use Krage Regis as my public name,"

'He's lying. Karasuma Renya didn't have any children,' Haru took a step back. 'I don't want it to be true but I can't deny it. The soul script is evidence,'

"Haru-san, are you alright?" Karasuma asked. "Please take a deep breath. You look like you're about to pass out,"

Haru ran. He wanted to get away from Karasuma Renya. He wanted to be as far away from him as possible. He stumbled back into the party hall and crashed into his brothers. "Haru, there you are! We couldn't find you! Don't run off like that!"

"I want to go home…" Haru voice was soft and broken.

"Alright," Shukichi said. "We're leaving this party,"

Karasuma Renya gripped his chest. "Why?" He growled. "Why does it hurt!?"

"It's heartache," Vermouth, who had been watching the entire encounter, said. "It's hurting because he rejected your love,"

"Make it stop!" Karasuma snapped. "Make it stop!"

"If he rejected you, I think the only way to make the pain go away is to move on," Vermouth told him.

"Move on!?" Karasuma yelled. "Haru and I are soulmates! We're destined for each other! I'm not going to move on!" He walked towards the party hall and watched in anger as Subaru and Shukichi led Haru to the parking lot to leave. "No! I won't let him leave! I know that he loves me back! He just needs to understand that we're meant to be with each other!"

'I don't like where this is going…' Vermouth thought.

Remember when I said Karasuma was possessive?

Fun Facts about this WIVerse:
Vermouth and Gin are soulmates but Gin doesn't believe in that soulmate crap hence why their relationship is only for sex and not love. He gets pissed off when Vermouth writes embarrassing things through soul script, especially if he's at an important meeting or on a mission. The soul script is not limited to the hand but anywhere where there is skin.
Jodie and Cognac are soulmates. Remember how in Mitsuharu Chapter 12, Jodie/Male OC was a possible pairing?
