In a world where everyone had a soulmate, it was no surprise that you had one as well, red string connecting to someplace, somewhere, where your soulmate is.

You weren't that determined to find your soulmate.

Sure, of course, it'd be nice. But from your line of work, an assassin from the Order? It'd be too dangerous to keep your soulmate around.

You had just finished a job, walking back home when you suddenly bumped into someone, the guy muttering a half-assed apology.

“Oh. Sorry..” Gaku muttered and looked at you momentarily before pausing, seeing the red string connecting.

Oh.

Oh.

This was awkward. Hold on, wasn't that one of the wanted criminals the Order considered a threat? The partner of the serial killer ‘Slur’ who helped in trying to overthrow the JAA?

“Hey— wait.” Gaku grabbed your wrists before you could walk away, his grip firm yet gentle. “..shouldn't we, I don't know.. get to know each other? We're soulmates after all.” he asked, seemingly not aware that you're from the Order.
