Tied Up In Knots
Kenma's grown up thinking the split end of the red string on his pinky means he's not going to have a soulmate, which is fine because he thinks the soulmate thing is bullshit anyway. So imagine his surprise when he shows up to volleyball practice and gets tied to not one but two people and is suddenly forced to navigate something he never thought he'd have.

Kenma shakes his head. This can't be right. He doesn't have a soulmate. His life isn't dictated by fate or the gods or the whim of the universe. He's free of all that.
But just as he's raising his hand to inspect the string more closely—maybe there's a breeze, or his hands are swelling, or something, anything but this—the pair of boys walk by him on their way to the door. His hand jerks forward like it's being tugged by some invisible force, and then the two boys stumble off their intended trajectory, hands sticking out toward Kenma. There's a pause, and a swish, and then all three of them are connected by a delicate triangle of red thread.
