a/n I haven't proofed this one yet and I don't like the ending. When I edit this again, it'll probably change. This was supposed to be uploaded yesterday but I had my exam and didn't finish it in time. There'll be another update later today as per usual.

Soulmate AU: A red string tied to your pinky connects you and your soulmate together. Only some people are able to see these strings.

You paced back and forth, trying to pick out a nice outfit for your supposed "date". You weren't sure where he was bringing you and didn't want to dress up too nicely. After all, you were still mad at him. 

Before you could decide on a top, your phone let out a little buzz and you rushed to see who it was.

[𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒎𝒊]: how are you settling in (y/n)-chan?


You quickly unlocked your phone, a small grin present on your face. Out of all your friends you kept in contact with, Semi was the only one to really check up on you. Of course, Tendou had also messaged you several times, but mainly it was a series of memes he found funny that he wanted to share, since Ushijima apparently gave no reaction. You loved his memes and knew it was his way of showing concern over you, which made you laugh more than a few times.

You sent Semi a series of pictures and waited for his opinion. Eventually, you decided on your outfit and made your way downstairs. You glanced at a wall clock, noticing Oikawa would be here in about fifteen minutes. You still had time to do whatever you wanted. 

"You take too long to get ready!" you heard a voice shout from inside the kitchen. You rolled your eyes. 

"You were the one who said to look nice," you grumbled, "and I actually tried."

Your grandmother turned around, looking up and down before giving a little nod. She gestured at the fresh plate of cookies and beside it, a container neatly wrapped in cloth. You looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Really?"

"Yes, really. So don't forget to give it to him."

You groaned. 

Before you could retaliate, the doorbell rang and you froze in your spot. Didn't he say he was coming later? It was way too early for him to come. Your grandmother rushed past you, quickly opening the door. 

"Oikawa-kun! Welcome to our home, (y/n)-chan is just inside getting ready." your grandmother beamed, looking at the well-dressed male. Oikawa gave her a dazzling smile, greeting her too. 

"(y/n)-chan, hurry up and get out here!" 

You scurried around to grab your belongings, rushing to the door. You panted a little, trying to regain your breath. You looked at your grandmother who's smile was so big you were sure you could see all her teeth (that she had left anyway) and at a smirking Oikawa. You bowed your head a little and quickly slipped into some shoes. 

"Enjoy your date!" you blushed furiously and waved at your grandmother to hurry inside. She laughed, waving the both of you off before entering your house. 

"Sorry about that Oik-"

"Tōru. Call me Tōru, just like before,"

You looked at Oikawa before sighing. "Tōru it is then," 

He grinned at your response, giving out his hand. You hesitated. Were you sure you wanted to do this? Ah, screw it. It was in the past, forgive and forget. After all, you were curious about how much Oikawa had changed since you last saw him. 

"So, what do you have planned for us today?" you asked, looking at the awfully happy brunet. 

"Hmm, it's a surprise," he grinned, swinging your arm. You rolled your eyes but could feel a small smile on your face. 

- ' ✧ ' -

"What did you think about today?" Oikawa's soft voice interrupted your thoughts. You were staring at the town below you, watching the soft lights flickering and cars driving around. You hummed softly before turning to him.

"It was nice," Oikawa gave raised an eyebrow. 

"Just, nice?" 

"Yup. Nice." you laughed, "and relaxing to be out of the city. I miss this place,"

Oikawa nodded. He noticed your hands slightly shivering and took your hands in his. You flinched a little from his touch, looking at him in shock. 

"(y/n)," he whispered softly, looking into your eyes deeply. 

"I'm sorry for what I did in the past, I should've been a better friend and taken care of you especially during those tough times you had. I was stupid to neglect you and ignore you when you were hurting on the inside," 

Your eyes widened a little. Sure, you had expected him to apologise but never thought it would be now. 

"I want us to start over."

"Tōru, I-" you hesitated. "I want to start over too, with you but I also have something to say," 

Oikawa nodded for you to continue. 

"Do you remember when I told you about seeing the red strings?" you paused, waiting for his reaction. His eyes widened a little and he nodded slightly. 

"I can still see them and now I can see mine too," 

"And so you're saying-"




"It's connected to yours."
