Under your fingertips

"Do you know the myth of Aristophanes? In the beginning, we had four hands, the same number of legs, two identical faces on a perfectly round neck. We attacked the gods, and they split us in two. Thus, they condemned us to seek our other half to regain our completeness."

Oikawa Tooru was a senior in high school who wanted to taste every challenge life could throw at him.
Iwaizumi was a senior in high school who just wanted life to leave him alone.
To Iwaizumi's great dismay, he was intimately tied to the life of a high school classmate who was far too loud, too narcissistic, too childish, too stubborn... Too much was the word that characterized him the best. If he had been given the choice, he would have chosen the opposite of these things for his soulmate.

A ghostly hand had appeared on his 18th birthday, and ever since, it had guided his every decision, whether physical or emotional. For decades, a bond had been born that connected one soul to another through invisible touches. It united you with your alter ego in an unforgivable way. The principle of this connection was to make the slightest touch on one's skin feel the same intensity as on the other's.

And the principle was nice... When you loved your soulmate and your soulmate loved you. ⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶⊶
