soulmate au where one can write to their soulmate in a journal

+

when kimberly was five, she was given a journal that allowed one to communicate with their soulmate.

at such a young age, she did not really understand what a soulmate was. she assumed it was a spirit friend since 'soul' meant 'spirit' and 'mate' meant 'friend', right?

she opened the journal up and began to doodle on the first page. suddenly, something began to appear beside one of her drawings. in a messy font, it said:

あなたの図面は本当に美しいです！

[ your drawings are really beautiful! ]

of course, not being japanese, she didn't understand what it said, so she wrote back.

???

nothing happened.

somewhere in torono town, miyagi prefecture, a silver-headed male ran up to his mother, asking, "why doesn't my soulmate understand what i'm writing?"

his mother replied, "maybe she's not japanese, koushi. perhaps her first language is english."

"i see," he said, and went back to his room.

he opened the journal up and wrote the following:

do you understand better if i write in english?

the next moment he knew, words began to appear below his message.

yes.

he grinned.

i'm sugawara koushi! what's your name? ^^

a few seconds passed before his soulmate wrote back.

i'm kimberly. it's nice to meet you. :)

from then on, the two began to use the notebook to communicate to each other. sometimes, a few doodles were added in, occasionally coloured.

this one day, it was kimberly's first day of high school. she opened up the notebook to see a new message.

good luck for your first day of high school! ^^

she smiled and closed it before placing it neatly into her bag.

the hallway was crowded. too crowded, in fact. students were scattered all over the hallways, visiting booths and seeing what cca they could join.

kimberly managed to get through the crowd, but she wasn't exactly paying attention to her surroundings, either.

she knocked into someone and the soulmate notebook fell out of her hands, as well as the fliers the other person was holding. quickly, she scrambled to help the person pick the papers off the ground and they took her notebook.

"sorry," she apologised as she gathered the papers and glanced at the person she knocked into.

he was of average height, about 174 centimeters, give or take. he had silver hair and a pair of hazel eyes. there was a beauty slot under his right eye. he was pretty.

and he was looking at something in her notebook.

as she opened her mouth to say something, he looked at her and said, "kimberly...?"

"how do you know my name?" she asked as she eyed him suspiciously.

he broke into a huge grin and said, "i'm suga."

before she could even respond, he captured her into a hug and said, "i finally got to meet you."

"it's nice to finally meet you, too," she said as she placed her head on his shoulder with a smile.
