The red string of fate drew lovers together like an unmatched force driving two people together. Enemies or friends, strangers or rivals, it wouldn’t break, no matter then knots and reluctant pulling.

You hated to admit who you believed your soulmate to be. Juuzou Suzuya, a first class investigator with his own squad. Your rival. You didn’t hate him, he was nice enough…he was just a lot to deal with and you couldn’t stand that.

Similar in rank, you often found yourselves head to head, fighting to be the first to answer questions in meetings, draw theories or arrive at a suspected ghoul site.

It seemed like every turn you took, life threw juuzou at you— with that sweet childish smile and the way his eyes lit up was like an angels kiss. He was too perfect- you hated how you noticed the little things.

He loved sweets, for example, and his favourite animal was a cat. He liked the colour red, his favourite number was 13, he loved to draw. Every little thing which you noticed made you fall further and further for him, and it made you more and more frustrated.

The final straw was when you were browsing the sweet store for a gift for your little cousins, only to hear the over enthusiastic, boyish voice of Juuzou behind you. “It’s you!” He declared happily, “I didn’t know you liked sweets!?”

Seriously? Couldn’t you ever escape him? The universe really wanted you to get with him, huh…
