Title: Idealized (Part 3)

Pairings: Sugawara Koushi x Reader

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, murder, Sugawara's gone mad, hasn't he?

Summary: Sugawara Koushi seems to be completely perfect: good grades, talented athlete, responsible, and a total sweetheart. But, if he's so perfect, why does your string of fate, that red string that warns you of the most dangerous person in your life, lead right to him?

AU Note: Some people have a "String of Fate" that, instead of symbolizing love like in soulmate AUs, leads straight to the most dangerous person in your life when you're close enough to them. The string is invisible to everyone EXCEPT the person that would be in danger. Not everyone in the world has a string of fate but those that do have no idea in what way they will be in danger.

idealized

/adjective/

regarded or represented as perfect or better than in reality.

Sugawara's voice was sugar sweet. So sweet that you almost forgot that he was calling you from your mother's phone.

"What happened to my mother?" You demanded.

You could hear the satisfied smile in his tone as he said, "You're finally talking to me."

"Please," you begged, "what did you do to her?"

You prayed that she was okay, that Sugawara had merely swiped her phone. Something deep inside you knew that wasn't the case.

"She's safe. For now," Sugawara said, "I didn't mean to go to such drastic measures, I swear. But I couldn't think of anything else to get your attention. You avoid me like I've got the plague. Why don't you treat others like that? Why is it only me?" His voice raised more and more with each word until he was shouting into the phone, voice choked with emotion.

"The red string of fate," you admitted, trembling from head to toe, "I saw it connected to you and I didn't want anything to do with that."

There was no harm in telling the truth now, especially if it calmed him down. Sugawara certainly had stopped yelling, a silence stretching on from his end as he mulled over your words.

"I guess fate can't be avoided," Sugawara mused, "After all, it's all led to this moment, hasn't it?"

You gulped audibly, your throat feeling as dry as the desert. "Please just let my mom go. I'll do anything..."

"Anything?" Sugawara asked, a hint of eagerness slipping into his voice, setting you on edge. Dread seemed to press down on your shoulders, causing you to fall heavily on your bed, trembling from head to toe. This can't be good.

But did you have a choice? Was there anything you wouldn't do to get your mom back? No, of course not.

"Anything," you confirmed softly.

"We're going to make a trade," Sugawara replied, "Her freedom for yours."

You closed your eyes, sucking in a shaky breath. How had it come to this? The teacher's pet, the popular, handsome volleyball player... how could Mr. Perfect be this cruel? How could he break so many laws just to get his crush to talk to him?

The situation reminded you of Beauty and the Beast. Like Belle, you'd be giving up your freedom for your parent's. You resolved right then that you'd never, ever fall for the beast, like Belle did. Until the day you died, if it came to that, you would hate him with every inch of your soul.

You felt tears prick your eyes. Until the day I die? You didn't want to think about that, but wasn't that what you were promising to him? Or, at least, until he got bored of you. Would that be worse or better? I can't tell.

"Where are we meeting?" You asked.

Sugawara's voice trembled with unrestrained excitement from the knowledge that he had won, "My house. Tell the police or anyone else and your mother dies." He told you the address- a house not too far from yours.

"Okay..." you agreed, tears slipping down your face. You wiped furiously at them, refusing to admit weakness despite losing to him. It didn't matter that he couldn't see you crying, you were still angry at yourself for being so helpless.

You pulled out a jacket and slipped on your shoes, looking at each room in your house as though you had never seen them before. Your heart felt heavy in your chest. Would you really never return?

The sound of your front door closing behind you seemed so final. You couldn't bring yourself to hurry, as if you walked slow enough you would never have to face Sugawara. The cold air nipped at your nose and ears but, for once, you appreciated it. Who knew when you'd be allowed to go outside again?

You arrived at Sugawara's house much too quickly. It was strange how such an ordinary looking house could be dripping with malice. You trudged up to the door, forcing yourself to knock. The door flung open and your tormenter peeked out at you, a smile spreading across his face, making him look so innocent that you could almost forget what he had done.

Then, the red string materialized, tightening around your finger, and you were jolted back to reality. You fought the urge to turn tail and run. This is for Mom.

Sugawara beckoned you inside. If your front door closing had sounded final, it was nothing compared to his door and the click of a lock. You fought back tears, overwhelmed by the reality you'd found yourself in.

You followed him down a staircase into a basement, heart sinking as you were met with what looked like a jail cell. Sugawara opened the cage and you knew what you had to do, walking shakily into the cell and taking a seat on the surprisingly soft bed inside. With a scrape against the floor and a creak, the door shut behind you, iron bars surrounding you on three sides. He pulled out a key and locked you inside.

"Now my mom," you tried to force your voice to remain steady, "You promised you'd let her go."

Sugawara smiled rather regretfully, "About that. She's seen my face and knows what I planned to do."

Your entire body froze, a chill running down your spine. "You promised! My freedom for hers!"

"Well, freedom can mean many things," Sugawara reasoned, "Like freedom from life, the earth, etc."

"Please, I'll do anything! I won't fight you or anything, just don't hurt her!"

Sugawara reached a hand through the iron bars, reaching for you. You shrank back into the corner, just out of reach. He frowned in response and retracted his arm.

"I already have everything I want." Sugawara said softly. He gave you a small wave as he exited the room, leaving you to cower in your cell, tears rolling down your cheeks and helpless sobs escaping your mouth.

For a few minutes, there was silence, except for your hiccups and whimpers. Then...

BANG.
