Hii! This is my newest Amatojo story, it's supposed to be a soulmate one! The way they find eachother is they have a ticking sound until they touch their soulmate :)

Kirumis POV:

Everyday, Kirumi Tojo woke up at 6am, not a minute earlier, not a minute late. She had a strict schedule of getting prepared, having a shower, brushing her hair and teeth, then putting on her maid outfit, one piece at a time and slipping on her flats and walking down the hallway towards the kitchen, this schedule was something she wouldn't change for the world, it kept her mind at peace.
One thing she does wish she could remove from her schedule is the ticking in her head, all it signifies is that she hasn't found her soulmate yet, not that she wants to find her soulmate, that would only cause more troubles for her.
The idea of a soulmate is something she could just simply live without, if she was being honest she didn't even know if she had a soulmate.
I'm sure whoever it was could live without her, she was nothing but a burden to the people she got close with outside of working as a maid, she knew her classmates were trying to get her to get her to consider them as friends rather then clients, which she could do, but it would go against her code as a maid, which simply couldn't happen.
She finally arrived to the kitchen, thankfully it was peaceful at this time of day, that was until she heard the door swing open a couple minutes after she'd entered, turning around, her emerald gaze faced one similiar to hers, messy, ruffled hair a couple shades lighter then her own, a baggy dark navy blue shirt with stripes along it and a pinwheel in the bottom right corner of it.
Rantaro Amami, with freckles splattered all over his body and a dazzling smile to finish it all off, the boy she described was facing her right now in a silent standoff, obviously wanting to break the silence, she spoke up.

"Can I help you with anything?"

That came off a bit more aggressive then she intended it to, whoops.

"Ah, just thought you might've needed some help with preparing breakfast, that's all."

Oddly enough, this is something she's gone through alot in the mornings with Rantaro, he constantly offers to help with breakfast, and everytime she declines.

"That's very considerate of you but I can assure you that I do not need any assistance with this, thank you Amami."

The boy chuckled, placing a hand on the back of his neck, Kirumi noticed his lip piercing, that was new, did he do that himself? She didn't know of any piercers in the school.

"You see something that caught your eye?"

Staring! How rude of her to do, apologize idiot, hurry up!

"Oh heavens, I do apologize, I just happened to notice your new piercing on your lip, I apologize again."

"No need to apologize, I did this one last night, still a bit sore though, it's whatever. Nothing I can't handle."

"Well it suits you. You look very nice with it."

Kirumi could've sworn she seen a tint of blush on the boy, but quickly shook that thought away, it was nothing of her concern anyways.

"Geez,, well thank you.. I did happen to get a small cut on my finger from trying to pierce my lip though, it still kinda stings. I just hope it's not infected or something."

What're you standing there for? It's your job to help, go help him.

"Here, allow me to help with that."

"Oh! Thanks Kirumi."

With that, Kirumi walked over to Rantaro, taking his tan hand in her soft fabric gloves, she could feel the warmth of his hand through the glove material, it was almost comforting in a way, that's when she noticed something, her ticking had stopped.
Oh that's nice, it was annoying anyways.
Hold on..
Her ticking.. has stopped?
She began to silently panic, Rantaro couldn't have been her soulmate, no, this was all wrong, he couldn't be! She looked up at him to see if he had noticed this too, judging by the very flustered green haired boy in front of her, he did know what this meant.

"Oh- Kirumi- Do you um-"

And she turned him around and pushed him out of the kitchen and into the dining hall where most of the others had gathered for breakfast.

"This can't be happening.."

She can't have a soulmate, this ruins everything! Especially with Rantaro being her soulmate, with his foolish personality, smile that lights up the room.. His freckles that suit him so well.. The messy hair that she just wants to run her fingers through and brus— No! None of that! Get ahold of yourself idiot! She was finally able to collect herself, no worries, now she'll just need to avoid Rantaro for the rest of her stay at hopes peak!
2 more years...
She can't do this! This is awful..

"I just need to make breakfast and head back to my room, that's all. Everyone's probably in the dining hall now."

She began to prepare breakfast, not without dealing with the nagging voice in her head screaming at her about this soulmate thing, this wasn't one of her tasks, she'll deal with it when the time comes.
After serving everyone their breakfast, she decided to skip out on breakfast for now, she wasn't exactly in the mood for eating at the moment, beginning to walk back to her room, she was stopped by a sudden yank on her arm, being twirled around and held in both hands of the questioning ultimate.

"I need to talk to you about something, would you mind coming to my dorm?"

AAAA!! I'm so excited about this series already! I have a whole bunch of ideas for this (and who knows maybe a bonussmutscene😳😳)??
But in reality I'm super duper happy with how this chapter turned out :)
