Why the Pinkie is the Most Useless Finger and Other Atrocities (Naegami Oneshot)

Everyone is tied to someone, a small loop around their finger connecting them to someone for eternity, that only each other can see. Supposedly, this small string is supposed to bring the greatest joy to someone's life, but it's more of a nuisance than a blessing. For all his life, Togami has tried to disconnect the string, knowing it will only lead to problems for the future he was chosen to lead. His romantic endeavors are sealed in tradition, and being weighed down by a soulmate will not help him elevate the Togami corporation's status. Especially if that someone he is supposed to fall for is just a nobody, with no remarkable or exceptional qualities except for the fact that Togami can see his reflection in his eyes. Naegi is just lucky Togami has let him live this long, not finding the time to sever their string and his throat yet.

this AU is kind of the basic red string of fate soulmate au, where on one end it is tied to the pinkie, and on the other person it is tied to the index. only soulmates can see each other's strings, and they appear on their 13th birthday.
