Shoto Todoroki has always seen the red string of fate. Glowing faintly against the world's dullness, it coils around his finger, tugging gently at something-or someone-he's never dared to face.
Haunted by a broken family and terrified of dragging someone else into the chaos, he never follows it. Never even looks to see who waits at the other end.
Instead, he twirls the string quietly, using it as a distraction, a lifeline, a secret. Until it leads him straight to Iida.
Iida, who doesn't see strings.
Iida, who treats Shoto with kindness and laughter.
Iida, who falls into a relationship with someone else-while Shoto falls in love with him in silence.
As years pass and the string tightens around Shoto's heart, tension builds between them. Iida remains oblivious-until fate finally pulls hard enough to unravel everything they thought they understood.
Will they sever the thread before it strangles them both?
Or will they learn that fate might be inevitable-but love is a choice?
