~ Day 21- Red String ~
If someone were to see things that hardly anyone could see, it was Amamiya Hibiya. Ever since he'd gotten hold of the ability to focus eyes, all those things that weren't usually there were there for him.
The most prominent thing were to fabled red strings of fate. Tied to people's pinky fingers, they were what connected those who were meant to be together forever. Soulmates. Those who could hardly function without their partner around.
Kido, for example, didn't even have a long string. It ended in a knot around Kano's finger. And even though the blond commonly took strolls and was out often, he always came back. Simply because their string got tense from some point on.
Shintaro's string was severed. It hung down limply by his hand. Hibiya knew the reason why. The one who once had had the other end of the string was gone from this world. By his own finger, an unconnected thread hung.
Momo didn't even have one. It was like she wasn't supposed to have a soulmate and go about life as usual- stupidly but admirably cheerfully. Maybe she would fulfill her promises and would reconnect the ties that had been cut.
Konoha had a very long piece of thread attached to him. It ran all over the floor and was so long that Hibiya couldn't even see where it would come to an end. Perhaps it was almost endless. Nonetheless, it was a strange one.
Especially as he discovered it one day, purely by chance- in the mess of red, there were parts that had been knotted together again. Some knots were coming lose, but somehow stayed together. Considering what he knew, the person the android was fated to be with had disappeared several times but had always come back. It was odd.
He looked at the sleeping boy, drooling and speaking in his sleep about some girl. He often did that, he had learned as they spent the summer at the same house. The phone on the coffee table vibrated, but he didn't notice.
Despite the messily repaired thread, Hibiya suddenly understood whom the other end of the line belonged to.
He sighed and got up to get some ice cream.
