In this world a thing such as fate can decide our whole life and how it turns out to be. 'Connection' or the red string of fate as they were widely called was something everyone was born with.
The red string, exists around your little finger and the other part of the string leads to your partner or connection. Someone whom you will spent with the rest of your life with.
The red string mostly appears cut with no connection if your connection or partner has passed away. It also appears without any connection if you still haven't had any partner yet.
"Clinks clinks..."
"Welcome to Azure..."
Light bells rings out quietly as someone opens the door to Azure. Being a flower shop, the customer who just comes in smells the many kinds of fragrances mixing in the shop.
The customer walks around the shop to find the flower that she was looking for. Then she was approached by a boy around the same height as hers, messy green hair, green eyes with a green apron around him.
"Welcome to Azure, Miss. Is there anything you were looking for, anything I could help you with?"
"Ah!! I was looking for some buttercup and roses, a gift for my connection... if you wouldn't mind please, can you show me the way..?"
"Ah... your connection? Then this way, please."
The young man, almost looking younger than she is leads her to the stall where the flowers she just order were. She takes a while to admire the beauty of the place before searching for her liking.
The young man stood by her side the whole time, telling her the flowers and it's meanings as short stories while she picks her choice. The man's words were filled with passion as he tells the short stories to her making her unable to turns away from anything he was saying.
"Ah! I'm really sorry for the long talk, please take your time."
"Oh! Not really, I don't mind at all. I have chosen but I really love the stories you were telling me, I would loved to visit this shop again. I just moved here not so long ago and since this shop was close to my house, I thought about entering since it looks interesting."
"Oh, my pleasure to have intrigued you. Azure is open from 6 in the morning and close 6 at night. This way please to the counter, we also welcome orders."
The young man, takes the almost bouquet of flowers from the young lady's arms and wraps them up separately as the lady ordered. He gave the lady a very artistic looking vase with purplish vines patterns circling it as a gift along with his business card inside.
"Welcome to UA city, Miss. I hope you have a good time staying here. If you have any trouble finding your way around, please, we welcome you here."
"Why thank you, young man. Oh right, I didn't quite catch your name, mine is Misaki Arisu(Misaki Alice)."
"Ah!! I'm Midoriya Izuku, thank you for visiting our shop, Miss Misaki."
Midoriya Izuku, bowed to Misaki as she waves her hand and leave the shop with the bell once again tingled. Before she leaves Midoriya saw the red string on her, little finger directed towards, perhaps her connection.
When she leaves, Midoriya sighs slightly. He goes over to the side of the counter to add the list to his computer, accounting today's latest selling. Midoriya was born a connector. Connector was someone who was born with the ability to see the red strings of fate.
Most of the time, connectors work at either the UA connection finding company or just create their own business as a connection finder. They earn quite a lot with that after all.
They say that those who were born as connectors were blessed but Midoriya didn't think so, well he'd rather be able to see the world than the red strings if he had to admit. After all you'd rather see the colours of the beautiful world you lived in rather than red strings all over if you were blind too, right?
When he was doing accounting on his computer, the store bell rings again and when he looks over from his desk, he hears panting sounds of perhaps a lady. When he heard the familiar noise of the umbrella being put into the hangar and the sound of the zip being open, he knows right away who it was.
"Gomen, Deku-kun. There was a huge traffic jam today. I have to park my car at the parking lot and runs here... I'm sorry, did I miss anything at all?"
"It's alright, Ochako-chan. Although you did missed out a customer just now, a very nice lady who just moved into town..."
"Ah... gomen... ah!! Let me do the accounting, at least to pay you back for being late!!"
Uraraka Ochako is a young brunette, who has been a friend of Midoriya, who attended the same high school as his. She tied her apron and moves into the counter besides Midoriya and helps him with the accounting.
She is a great friend of his who helps him out at the flower shop when it was opened and the first worker besides from Midoriya himself and that was three years ago. She was really supportive of Midoriya despite knowing he was blind.
The bullying for him being blind had just disappeared when he entered high school but there were still rumours here and there and Uraraka was one of those who stands up for him.
"Haha, not at all but you're welcome. May I ask what was the racket about, I've been hearing the sirens voices since morning... which I must say was not a very pleasant wake up snooze..."
Midoriya asked his friend while arranging the flower pots, a habit he had gotten used to after he opened Azure. He clears his throat after the long line he spoke out, nearly looking in pain.
"Ah... don't you hear it in the news?? YumeXX back in the city and Bakugou-kun along with Todoroki-kun are back in town!!"
"Eh!? Kacchan's back in town?!? I didn't get to watch the news this morning!"
'Kacchan' or Bakugou Katsuki is Midoriya's long time childhood friend and his best 'supporter' throughout his entire life. Not only did Bakugou had defended Midoriya from all the bullies back in the day, Bakugou himself was a sort of bully for him as well.
But a very nice kind of bully. Bakugou would always shout and beat Midoriya up for anything he finded annoying in his eyes. Which does not only occurs for him but to those around him as well but Midoriya was just a bit more worse. He was more of a very strict supporter who would scold someone else rather than comfort them of a bad situation.
Bakugou is now a famous star, known to most of the western countries and Japan their home country. He is in a band, known to world wide as YumeXX and he is the drummer. Going by the stage name 'Katsu', he is also known for being a solo rap artist. He along with the other four members, made up the YumeXX.
"Wait a minute, Ochako-chan... Todoroki-kun is not from our town..."
"Oh! I've heard that their meeting for the band was actually here, I'm not sure why they pick this place though... maybe Bakugou-kun suggested it..."
"Eh... Kacchan? I really doubted that but there is no other ways they'll be here so..."
Midoriya put his index finger on his chin and started his usual mumbling and Uraraka sweat drops at the sight of her old friend's habits. Todoroki Shoto is the guitarist and the lead singer of the group along with Kyoka Jiro.
He is from the well known wealthy family of Todoroki who owns the world's largest world wide restaurants, 'Endeavor'. His family business is not a part of his interest and he chooses his hobby over it and became the world's biggest star.
Todoroki family's main mansion was over at Australia but Todoroki Shoto lives at the main town of UA city, with his mother and siblings. He attended the same high school as Midoriya but what differs him is that he is in the special class, an elite only class, something that his father had ordered which resulted in not knowing each other well.
He is known in the band to have a very calm and deep voice and Midoriya can't agree more. His stage name is Shoto, his own name and that alone has show what his personality is like. He is known for being cool and a young man with few words.
His relationship with the other members was neutral except for the kind of one-sided rivalry with Katsu. Both the males were polar opposite with Shoto being the calm and collected young man where Katsu is the explosive 'bastard' with a loud mouth.
Both were equally talented and profession at what they does and that is perhaps what spikes the rivalry between them as they like to call it 'Opposite attracts'.
"Date, kimi ga, boku no tameni wa..."
"Ah!! Ochako-chan, can you please see who it is and pass me the phone?"
Hearing his phone's ringtone, he asked from his seat asking for who the person was. He has been receiving spam calls lately and it has been annoying and it has better not be another one of those or Midoriya is going to snap.
"Ah, ok! Ah!! It's Bakugou-kun!"
"Eh!? Maybe he's phoning me to inform he's here...?"
Uraraka accepted the call and opened the speaker for her friend. Midoriya accepted the phone from his friend's hand and the first thing he expected to hear was the loud voice behind the call, which belongs to his friend.
"Kuso-deku!!?? I've been phoning you since morning, why is your phone turned off?! Is that woman not around or something?!?"
"Ah... ohayo Kacchan. Gomen-na, Ochako-chan just got here and yes I turned off the phone because there have been some spam callings... and welcome back. I've heard you're back in town, how are you?"
"Heard it from the news, huh? And yeah, I'm back all right and both alive and kicking, will head over to the shop after this stupid meeting. And did you just say that shitty-woman just got there, why's she late, slacking off?!?"
"Excuse me! I blame you for that, Bakugou-kun. There have been a lot of traffic since morning and whose fault do you think that is?!"
The two argue through the phone and Midoriya sweat drops hearing them bickers. Bakugou, his childhood friend and Uraraka, his high school friend for some reason never get along, not that Bakugou ever get along with anyone.
Ever since they met , they have had a strange rivalry with each other and it seems that both can't stand each other companies. Although, Bakugou did trust Uraraka enough to take care of Midoriya while he was away from town for every world tour he has with YumeXX.
"Eh, you're in Spectre? Is Tsuyu-chan there?"
"Obviously, the woman's here and as annoying as ever with her nagging along with her damn snake connection. Theirs shop is the only good restaurant in this damn town."
"I suppose... but is there anyone who is not annoying to you..?"
"What d'ya say!? Oi, half-and-half bastard, where the fu--"
Uraraka turns the call off before they could here any more of his rambling. It seems that he was busy judging from the background noises they heard of. Midoriya was a bit caught off guard when Uraraka suddenly turns off the call.
"I'm sure that was all we need to hear from him, Deku-kun."
"Ah... haha... I guess? Ah!! Welcome to Azure."
"Clink-ka-clink"
