Soulmate string or the red thread of fate
A little introduction, you can skip if you know how this works:
"Alright, children, come on," The teacher claps her hands, grabbing the attention of all the little toddlers, everyone quickly scurries over to the teacher, excited about what she wants to say.
"Today we'll learn about soulmate strings and thread of fate," she says gently, a lot of the little toddlers said Eww or gross, while others said Aww or yay.
One bright little, one with rich dark green hair said "Aww"
"Ewww," Another one with spiky blonde hair said,
"Kacchan!" The little green hair toddler whines,
"What it's gross, Deku" the red-eyed toddler rolls his eyes
"Hmm" Deku pouts and crosses his arms, upset with his friend
"Ugh, fine, Aww," he says in a monotone voice
Little Deku giggles, "Thank you, Kacchan," he says and gives the taller boy a little hug
"Now everyone, I want you to look at your pinky finger," the teacher says showing her inky finger that had red string wrapped around it
Everyone looked at their clear pinky fingers in confusion asking where their red string was, "Shhh, now listen closely children, You red string will not appear until you find your soulmate and get a kiss from them, until then, the string will be invisible," she says, all of the little kids saying "Ohhhh" or "Eww"s
"What is the red string?" A girl with soft magenta hair asks,
"Well, Mio, the red string is a string that connects destined lovers, regardless of place or time, it can extend to any lengths or it can get really tangled but it will never break," she says adding emphasis on the word never.
"What if you never find your soulmate?" A boy asks
She smiles softly, "That won't happen, sweetheart, but there are some cases where the person knows they're soulmate but doesn't like them, that can be very deadly for the both of them," she says in a hushed tone
"How?" Deku asks
"Well...the string will grow so long with the distance between the soulmates, some may even see their strings, it wraps around their body and can...possibly choke them," she says, knowing that they'll need to find out someday.
Everyone gasps and whimpers, looking at their pinky finger in fear, "But don't worry, when you do find your soulmate the string completely unravels, and this has only happened in a few cases," she says trying to reassure the frightened children,
"Kacchan, I'm scared," Deku whispers looking rubbing his pinky finger
"Don't be, I'll save you if that string hurts you," he says proudly looking at his best friend
"Really?" he says with wide green eyes
"Of course, I'll save you now and forever," he says and gives the boy a little hug
A few years later...
"AHHHH!" I cry as the light red string chokes me more feeling my breath shorten and my heart rapidly beating to pump blood in my veins.
Never has it been this bad, it hurt so much as the string feels like it's made out of glass and not thread, and with each passing day it keeps son getting worse adn worse, I feel like dying rather than taking this pain.
"Come on, Izuku," I say, my eyes foggy from the tears streaming down my face, as I look around hoping to find something anything to help this pain,
I spot my phone but what help will that do? Maybe I can call an ambulance, even though they can't see the string, only I can, but I feel like I'm about to pass out, I need to get help.
I try to move my arm but the string wraps tightly around it, making me scream in pain, I can't take this, I need to get out, I feel my vision fogging up and I desperately get up, screaming in pain as the strings tighten more, but ignore them and open my contacts.
I scroll through it quickly and land on a name the name I thought I would never call in my entire life, Katsuki Bakugou, The only reason I have his number is for work and, maybe because I still have a little crush on him.
We were best friends as children and then things changed he pushed me away, in middle school and started bullying me, in high school, he forgot that I even existed and if I did catch his attention he would just growl and throw an insult before walking away, now we both ignore each other and only talk wark related stuff. Don't get me wrong I want to be friends with him maybe even more, but it seems impossible.
But now I'm desperate, I need his help, I can't afford to die like this, not while being so close to being the Symbol of peace, but the fact that I'm also killing another person also terrifies me. I slowly groan and press his name and bring it close to my ear the red strings wrapped around my body hurting more than ever.
"WHAT IS IT?!" He yells but there's something different about it, almost as if it were out of pain
"K-kacchan, HELP!" I yell, the string cutting deeper into my throat adn I let out a blood-curdling scream so loud, I'm afraid that the neighbors will call the police.
"DEKU?! WHAT?!" He screams too as if something is choking him
"PLEASE Kacchan! Please Save me!" I yell not caring, about what I'm saying, I just need relief, relief from this pain.
Suddenly the other line goes out and all I could do was let out another scream, of course, he would hang up, he'd think I was probably playing a sick joke on him or maybe he just...doesn't care.
I scream in agony as my vision starts to blur more until I can only see smudges, I take deep breaths and hiccup trying anything to stop this.
After what seemed like hours the pain starts to increase more and more, every string cuts deeper into my body, and I feel unbearable pain turn my vision white for one second. I knew it, this it, I'm going to die, I can't rake this anymore.
Taking the last breath the string completely cuts into my throat and I collapse, my vision blacking out, feeling no pain before I finally leave this world, probably taking someone else's life with me,
Before my vision completely blacks out, I see a flash, no a memory, from preschool, and then I hear something, "Of course, I'll save you now and forever,"
"Kacchan!" I whisper before completely closing my eyes, forever.
I run as fast as I can not caring who bad the strings cut into my body, my mind keeps pumping the same thing over and over again: Deku, Deku, Save Deku, Save him!
When I heard him scream like that, my mind went blank, my childhood best friend, middle school crush that I treated him like shit because I didn't know how to handle my feelings and now...unsure. Then I ran, out of my apartment, onto the road like a fucking animal was chasing me, and like my life depended on how fast I got there.
"AHHHHH!" I scream as the string tightens more painfully than ever, my throat is tightly wrapped in that cursed red string, tears form near my eyes but I wipe them away.
"DEKU?!" I scream as I burn his door open,
I find him laying there unconsciously on the floor, red string tightly wrapped around his body, he was lightly twitching meaning that he was still alive, thank God! The red string suffocated and some places were bleeding, it was horrifying to see him like that and something inside my heart broke, and my mind went dark.
Suddenly string around my pinky finger tightly pulled making me look at it, it pulled more and I looked down seeing the string directly sprawl out and connect...to Deku's unconscious body.
Is...Deku, my soulmate? The string it, never connected to anyone before but it connects to Deku. That means that I can save him, right?!
I quickly run to him and lift his unconscious face up, now up close, do I realize how beautiful it looked, it still had the little freckles from our childhood, that looked like beautiful stars were sprayed on his pale face.
I take a deep breath and groan when I feel the string tighten around my whole body and close my eyes before pressing my lips against his.
His lips were cold against mine but I pressed on them hard, not knowing anything else relieve to us from this pain.
And then...no pain, nothing just my lips against his no crushing pain from the strings, which mean that...Deku is my soulmate. Tears stream down my face adn I press my lips closer to his face, all this pain, everything, just gone.
Suddenly I hear gasp, his lips feel warmer and I feel a soft groan before he pushed back. My eyes widen adn I look at him tears streaming down his face as he pushes back desperately.
I let out a small cry and kiss him back, with as much passion as my body holds, telling him how much I love him, telling him how much it broke me to see him like that adn, so many other unspoken things that were left in my heart.
Suddenly, something goes through me something like a jolt of electricity, and my eyes fly wide open and I feel strange, there's no pain, no choking, nothing.
I feel a strange pressure against my lips and I gasp opening my eyes to see spiky blonde hair and a man with eyes closed, tears streaming down pressing his lips against mine.
It takes me a few minutes but I finally realize who it was, it was...Kacchan! Why was he kissing me? What is going on? And why did my string go away? Most importantly, why did he come? I thought he didn't care...
More tears start to stream down his face and I groan, as I feel some stings, not a lethal tightening but just little stings, as I slowly before pressing back, I don't know why maybe it was the childhood crush I used to have on him or the hope I have left for us, whatever it was, I kissed him back.
I hear a small cry and he puts more pressure on my lips overwhelming with the passion it has, Is this real? Am I in heaven? Does, he really likes me?
Are...Are we soulmates?
The thought crosses my mind before I can stop it and I look down at my pinky my eyes widening when I see the string and completely dark red instead of being light red and it directly connects to Kacchan's pinky, my eyes tear up even more and I break apart from the kiss.
"D-Deku I- You're my soulmate?!" I interrupt rudely, but I didn't care I needed answers now,
"Um, yeah it looks like it, look I know you're disappointed but-What?! What are you talking about?" I interrupt again, with wide eyes, Why would I be disappointed?! He literally just came and saved me from death.
"What? You're not disappointed?" He raises his eyebrow quizzically, but I see something like hope flicker in his eyes.
I gently laugh and wipe my eyes even though more tears keep coming and put my trembling hand on his cheek, "No, you saved me, Kacchan," I whisper connecting our forehead together, maybe being with Kacchan wasn't so impossible
He gently gives out a small cry and chuckles, "Of course now and forever," he whispers before connecting our lips again
