Tamaki Amajiki x fem!reader, aged up, Tamaki is 23 and reader is 21, will be slight cursing.
Imagine if everyone had the red string of fate, and you can see it, however, the strings are short until you meet your soulmate, but, you don't know who your soulmate is until you make physical contact with them
"Why the hell are we at the mall? I was looking forward to relaxing today!" (F/n) rolls her eyes as complaint after complaint leaves my lips. She looks at me with a grin on her face before she hooks her arm around my shoulders. "We're in this oh so lovely mall today because you, dear (y/n) agreed to come here with me the other night to help me pick out a new outfit for my blind date!" I glare at her as I cross my arms, racking my brain for when this conversation happened, only to come up empty handed. "I don't remember you ever asking me to come here with you?" My glare turns questioning as she giggles slightly.
"Well, that's because you were drunk!" Her smile is ear to ear as i freeze on the spot. "You motherfu-" "Hey, let's go in here!" (F/n) cuts me off as she pulls me into the first store that caught her eye, causing me to roll my own (e/c) eyes. I decide to browse through the clothing and other items as well to keep myself occupied, giving my opinion when asked and stating my opinion when she didn't ask for it as well.
Many eye rolls and laughs later, we make our way to the next store, repeating this process over and over again until finally, after what feels like forever, (f/n) finally picked out everything she needed for her upcoming blind date. We both decided on making our way to the food court to fill our very empty stomachs, excitement fills me to the brim at the thought of finally being able to eat. (f/n) quickly takes notice of the wide smile adorning my face causing her to laugh slightly.
"I should've known you'd be this excited about food." She continues to chuckle while I nod my head in excitement. "I didn't get to have any breakfast this morning, so of course I'm this excited about food!" (F/n) shakes her head at me while I shoot an accusing glare her way before I continue my tangent about this morning. "If only a certain someone didn't insist on coming to this damn mall so early I might have actually been able to eat some- oof!"
I'm cut off as my body collides with something hard. I groan in pain as my body meets the cold, dirty of the mall while someone stutters out apologies in front of me and a feminine gasp comes from besides me. "What thr fuck just happened..?" I mumble out as I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I see is a tall dark blue haired boy who looks like he wants nothing more than to disappear while he stutters over his words, the next thing I see is (f/n) staring at me in shock.
Embarrassment floods my body as I realize that I ran right into an attractive guy all because I was bitching about not getting breakfast. I feel my face turn bright red as I clasp my hands over my face, now all I want is to dissappear as I begin apologizing myself. "I'm so so fucking sorry! Holy shit I should've been paying more attention to my surroundings! I can't apologize enough I'm so...sorry...?"
My apologies slowly become a question as I feel something soft against my arm that I didn't feel before. Slowly and cautiously, I move my hands away from my face, not believing my eyes as I see what the foreign touch was on me. Laying on my arm is a long red string, connecting me right to the handsome stranger in front of me. I feel my hearts doing flips in my chest as I completely take in his form. "You...?" Is all I can seem to force myself to say, but even that barely comes out as a whisper, somehow though, it was loud enough to gain his attention.
I barely register (f/n) and a couple other unfamiliar voices squealing in the background as I finally make eye contact with the shy male in front of me. The strangers eyes widen as he finally takes in the red string connecting us, his face becoming bright bright red as he seems to fight with himself on what he should do next. He finally takes a couple tentative steps towards me before he reaches his hand out to me while he looks at the ground, fidgeting in place like it's taking every bit of his self control to not run away.
I gently grasp the hand he's offering causing him to flinch slightly before he pulls me to my feet with a surprising amount of strength. I stumble into his chest causing both of us to gasp at the sudden contact. My blush increases as I hear (f/n) teasing me slightly while she converses with this strangers -my soulmates- friends, I refuse to look her way as I smoothly lift my hand and flip her off, causing her to laugh loudly at me. I redirect all of my attention back to the male who's currently slightly holding me, taking in everything from his gorgeous dark eyes and pointed ears, to his nervous posture and slight tremble while he debates.
A small smile graces my lips causing his blush to darken as I finally find my voice again. "What's your name?" I whisper, slightly scared that if i raise my voice he'll run away. He gulps at my question and tries to keep eye contact with me while trying to find his voice as well. "Ta-Tamaki Ama-Amajiki... wh-what's your n-name..?" I wonder if it's possible for my blush to get any deeper as I listen to his voice. "(Y/n), (y/n) (l/n) -"
"Bunny? Bunny are you okay?" I'm jolted out of my memories by a gentle voice causing me to smile and look up at the male who brought my attention back to the real world. "Hmm? Of course I'm okay Tama, why?" His gaze is gentle as he reaches his hand out to my face, gently cupping my cheek. I lean into his touch while he rubs circles on my cheek with his thumb, a content sigh escapes my lips while I close my eyes. "You were starting to cry bunny, I was worried.." his statment leaves me confused, causing me to bring a hand up to my face to rub my eyes, and sure enough, it comes away wet with the salty tears that had snuck by me without me realizing it.
I laugh slightly as I stand up fom the floor, looking at the pictures I had been going through fondly, especially the one that caused my day dreaming to happen. I place myself on the couch next to Tamaki and instantly cuddle up next to him, he stiffens slightly but quickly relaxes and wraps his arms around my body, pulling me as close to him as possible. "I promise I'm fine Tama. I was just remembering the day we met. You know, that was one of the happiest days of my life so far?" He places a kiss on the top of my head before he buries his face in my hair, breathing in the smell of my hair wash, finding complete comfort in my presence.
"It was one of mine too bunny, I'm glad we had finally ran into eachother." I beam at Tamaki's response, cuddling into his strong arms so I can be as close to him as possible. Tamaki brings his hands down to meet mine, playing with and rubbing my fingers while we sit in almost complete silence, other than the music playing quietly from the speakers. "Oh yea!" I tilt my head backwards slightly so I can look up at my soulmate, happiness dances in his eyes while he looks at me with a questioning look on his face, waiting for me to continue speaking.
"Are we still meeting up with everyone tomorrow for dinner? I forgot to ask (f/n), but I figured Mirio mentioned something to you about it while you were out with him today?" My question makes Tamaki chuckle while he plays with my hair. "Yes bunny, we are, everyone's really excited too." I let out an excited 'Yesss!' to his response, a bright smile forming on my face at the thought of seeing all my friends and their soulmates. I shoot up out of Tamaki's arms causing him to pout before I crash my lips into his in a sweet and excited kiss, after a few seconds I pull away and jump off the couch, quickly picking up all the pictures I had laying around before pecking Tama on the lips again.
"I need to go pick out an outfit for tomorrow than Tama, I love you!" I exclaim excitedly before darting back to our shared bedroom, determined to find the perfect outfit. Tamaki smiles and chuckles to himself. "I love you too bunny.." he knows I couldn't hear him, but he wanted to respond anyways. He glances to the picture I left on the coffee table, his smile turning into a reminiscing look as he takes in the contents.
It's from when we met at the mall, Mirio, Hado, and (f/n) insisted we all go eat together, and while we were in the midst of the two of us eating and being blushing messes (f/n) decided to take a picture of us. Tamaki gains a gentle smile while he reaches into his pants pocket and pulls out a little velvet box containing the ring him and Mirio picked out earlier today. He brings it up to his lips, placing a gentle kiss to it, feeling extremely excited and nervous tomorrow.
"If only you knew why everyone's actually so excited for tomorrow Bunny."
