{TODOBAKU} Where Ruby Falls

{2} His Soulmate

Ring….Ring….Ring….

“Hello?” A muffled voice picks up on the other side.

“Is this that heart covered quirk lady?”

“My name is Ai, but yes.”

“Whatever Hearts.”

“Hearts?”

“Your nickname. Now tell me how your quirk works.” Katsuki jumps in almost immediately. He wanted to get this call over with and have as much information as possible.

“Well I’m only a civilian. My quirk isn’t really the training type either. Though I know the basics. Whoever is at the end of the string is your soulmate. The string will not disappear, ever. I think.” Ai explains, getting quieter at the end.

“You’re fucking kidding me!” Katsuki squeezed his phone tighter, looking at the red string that led right out his window. Maybe his soulmate is death.

“Uhhh, I’m not. I can also see the string. If you want, I could help you find them.”

“If I need help I’ll fucking call you. Anything else?”

"You can't cut or sever the string."

With that, Katsuki hangs up. He tosses his phone on his couch for it to fall on the ground.

"I knew that one shit head!" Katsuki let out a pained groan. He runs his hands over his face in annoyance. His only chance to find this Soulmate of his was to go to the stupid fucking party later today. Fuck.

As Katsuki looked down the red string attached to his pinkie phased straight through the big black door of Minas house. He could hear the faint sound of music and conversation through the house, yet his mind was currently blocking it out as all he could think about was knocking on the door. Should he go through with this? Should he even know who his soulmate is?

Before he could choose the door opened in front of him, it was Mina who almost ran into him. She was holding a red cup along with a trash can and was definitely a little tipsy.

“Oh hey! I was just coming out to change the trash.” She explained.

“I dont care.” Katsuki shoved past her into the house, she gave him a weird look but he decided its best to ignore it for now. The string led into the kitchen. Yet again he was sitting there contemplating going through with it or not.

Don't be a little bitch he thought. He stomped his way towards the kitchen. When he walked through the entry way he couldn't help but pause.

There was one person in the kitchen standing there sipping something (probably alchohol) out of a red cup.

It was Shoto. Shoto Todoroki. THE Shoto Todoroki. THE icy hot bastard!

There was too much to process. A man? Shoto? A MAN? HIS SOULMATE WAS A MAN?

Maybe he shouldn't trust Hearts, maybe this was some sick prank. Maybe Hearts was some weird shipping fangirl?

"Hello?" Shoto said in a questioning tone. He glanced down then back up at Katsuki.

"SHUT UP!" Katsuki blurted out and turned away from Shoto. He walked out of the room and quickly went to the bathroom ignoring Eijiros hey.

He quickly shut the door of the bathroom and sat down on the ground. He took a deep breath and ran his fingers through his hair.

He hasnt quite gotten to the point in his life where he figures out...this. Sure he watched gay porn sometimes but that dosent make a person gay? And just because every once in a while he found a man more attractive than he probably should've doesn't mean anything!

Then again, when was the last time he found a woman attractive? He wasn't even sure his crush on Cinderella when he was 5 even counts but that's all he could remember.

Holy shit he might be gay.
