Thoma • Fate I guess?

(I'm so whipped for him, but he is just so baby and I want to give him all the love he deserves for being a squishy, smoll, precious sunshine)

'Yo, Mystic girl!'

'F*ck.' She swears under her breath as the heavy footsteps of the enormous Oni approach her, until his big shadow blocks the sun from her.

'It's still a no.'

'Come on, just once!'

'Itto I already told you many, many times that you need to accept the fact it'll always be no.'

'But why not? I'm big, strong, fast and one of a kind!'

'And I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're not my type. I can link you up with someone, but it's not going to be me.' She apologetically shrugs and she hears Itto sign in disappointment.

'I'm sure there's someone out there, tugging at the little red string of fate of yours to come to them. It may take a while and sometimes they will have to untie little knots, but I'm sure you'll meet them one day and the both of you know will immediately click together.'

'Red string of fate?'

'You've never heard of it?'

'Uh...no, should I? Where am I suppose to see it? Can you see it?' She laughs at his clueless persona and shakes her head as she stops polishing her sword.

'It's a figure of speech. When we say red string of fate, it means you are destined to meet someone or accomplish something at some point in your life. The red string of fate stands for friendship, soulmates or a goal. You can't see it, but some people believe it's there.'

'Do you believe in soulmates?'

'Me?' She thinks about it for a moment, but eventually shrugs.

'I don't think I have one. It's always been just me. Most people I've met are kind and polite to me, but I do not think they see me as more than someone they once met. I've never really done anything memorable to stay in people's memories.'

'You are memorable to me.'

'You really say the right things to the wrong people...'

'I know! I can't help it, I guess I just...need time.'

'Now what if there's this really pretty Oni out there...hmm?'

'Huh?' He asks as if she said something weird.

'Well, just like how you're half human, half Oni, what if there's someone like you out there?'

'There's someone like me out there who might be my soulmate?! I gotta go look for them then!'

'Itto wai-' before she can explain it was just a big "what if" he already disappeared on her.

With a deep sign she stores her swords away and stretches her arms and neck, feeling tired and in need of a nap. Things have been calm lately so all she does is fight some random thieves from time to time.

She stands up to wander off to the big Sakura tree just outside Inazuma City and greets the cats and dogs, whilst looking up at the big pink tree. The winds plays with her hair and the sun is shining softly through the branches.

Her eyes search for the perfect napping spot and as soon as she's found one, she climbs up into the tree, making herself comfortable to close her eyes and allow herself to drift off into a dreamless sleep.

'Here doggie, look I brought you some fowl!' Thoma is paying his daily visit to the animals that hang out under the big sakura tree, bringing them food and giving them affection to brighten his own mood as well as theirs.
