String Pt. 1 - Angst(?)

                Most people have a string that only them and their partners can see. While for some others, they wouldn't have a fated partner. It could be multiple reasons such has not being interested in love, their chosen partners passing away or even a "mistake". To get rid of the string, you'll have to get married with your chosen partner and the string will disappear within a short amount of time. If this string would have ever exits for a person, they would have to pass by the others in their life, with this string the will appear and would feel a slight tug.

               Heizou looked down at his pinky finger then signed, Nothing. "I might not be fated to be with anyone in my life." Most of his friends have already met their partners and has the string or some didn't since they were married.

"Hey Heizou, I keep seeing look at your pinky finger. Is everything alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine Gorou."

Heizou let out a forceful smile. He continues typing on his computer and taking notes. Gorou felt worried. He knew Heizou never had a string in his life. While for Gorou, he already seen his string from an early age. After the office was about to close for the day, Heizou tidied up and leaves. He takes a train "Maybe I can meet my partner if I go to crowded areas, I'm not a big fan of crowded places tho.." he thoughts. He was desperate, he didn't want others to tease him about it. He went with the idea of his and got on the train. It was busy with people pushing oters to get in/out of the train. Heizou waited and waited but nothing happened. When his stopped arrived he got out of the train. A tug. He felt a tug on his pinky. "A tug- Who is it?" He turned back it was really crowded it would be hard to spot someone with a tug on their finger.

               He gave up finding the person but was glad to know he had a partner. He then headed back home. The next day, he headed to the cafe nearby. Then, he felt a tug once again. He looked around to see no one other than a boy with white hair and a red stripe. He looked down at his phone, he saw the connected strings between them. "Excuse me.. do you see this string on my finger?" Heizou then raised up his hand in front of the boy. The boy nods, "Are you.. my fated partner?"

"Yes.."

"Oh..."

"Is something wrong?"

"The thing is... I thought I would never have a partner"

"...well..now you do!"

                Then there was an awkward and a loud silence between them

"Uhm.. I'm Heizou and I work at the building over there."

"Oh. Well I'm Kazuha"

"Where do you work?"

"Uhm.."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to... I see a lot of scars on you. Are you okay?

"Yeah I'm fine, I'm used to it actually."

"Fine with it? Is he a mafia or something?"

"Since we see each others string.. do you maybe want to exchange numbers?"

"Yeah sure."

                 The two of them exchanged numbers then continues on with their day. Kazuha leaves first, he headed to a car that was waiting for him. "Head to where Scaramouche is at." The driver takes Kazuha to a place where he should arrived at. "That Heizou guy... hes kinda cute but i feel sorry for him." They soon arrived and Kazuha heads inside the building.

"So, you arrived."

"Yes."

"Now the deal if you go anything against us, we'll take away your life. You don't have any say for this, this is final."

"..yes."

            The two approved the deal and when they were done, Kazuha left. "If only I wasn't in this messy shit. Dottore said I have to go against Scaramouche. Or he will kill of my younger sibling. I shouldn't have done these things in the first place." He signed heads back to his home, awhile later he hears a ding from his phone, It was Heizou.

"Hi! I'm the one from earlier. You know we are connected with the string."

"Yes, I remember."

"Can we meet up at the movies tomorrow? I want to get to know you better."

"Yes thats fine."

"See you then!"

Kazuha didn't have a meeting with the other mafia groups and decided to go see who his fated partner was liked. The next day, Kazuha left the house and headed to the movies. There, Heizou was standing waiting for him. "Um.. Hi!" Heizou said nervously. Kazuha greets the other and both of them went inside the theatre. Kazuha bought the tickets while Heizou went to get some popcorns. They chose a horror movie and went inside to save a spot. In the middle of the movie, Heizou flinches at the jump scare. While for Kazuha those jump scares were nothing compared to all the things in his life. At one point, Heizou grabbed on Kazuha's sleeves. When he noticed this he immediately let go. From the light of the movie he could see Heizou blushing. They both felt a tug on their finger. "I guess you fell for me even more, even the string gave a tug." Kazuha let out a quite chuckle.

           After the movies Heizou took Kazuha to an arcade.

"Um.. what are we doing here?"

"To play games of course, have you never been to an arcade before?"

"No, I never had times to do these "fun" activities."

"I bet you were studying hard then."

"No, its becau-"

"Because what?"

"...nothing"

Kazuha almost revealed his own personal matters concerning him and to the mafia. They tried out so many games and there was a game which Kazuha was really good at. "Wow, I didn't know you were good at shooting games." Kazuha changed the topic while pointing to the other side. "Hey look at the game over their lets try it out." It was a claw machine. Heizou was first to try out, he tried getting the plushie he wanted over and over again but failed. He pouts, which Kazuha found it adorable. Another tug, Heizou looks at Kazuha and smiled. "It was from you." He the laughs when he saw his stunt pink face. He coughs, "Here let me help you..." Kazuha got the plushie at his first try and gives it to Heizou. Heizou then putted on the cutest face Kazuha had ever seen. For the next few hours they were together and when it was 9, they both went back home.

                On Heizou side he was hugging the plushie Kazuha has gotten for him and was smiling "hes to perfect for me.. hes really nice and fun to hangout with." On Kazuhas side he was looking at the pictures they took together "Hes so lovely, but I don't even know how long I'll live. If Scaramouche finds out about it I backstabbed him." He wanted to cry but he couldn't. His family and his life was on the line.
