Red String Of Fate

I don't know how 'deep' any of you are into soulmate AU's but they are one of my favourite tropes. Red string of fate, name tattoo, timer, you name it. This is my (translated) try to it. If you know the trope already, amazing. If you didn't, i hope i can make you want to read more if it ^^
Anyways, this is almost 6k words long so it took a while to translate. This is like 6 usual chapters long which is almost an entire act TT
also, slight spoilers for everyone that did only watch the anime and does not know anything about Chrollo past it
that's it for now i think, have fun :)

You had heard it, surely a lot of people had.

Yet no one could see it, the red string on the left ring finger that was stuck to everyone.

Your mother had once told you that the string was connected to the left ring finger because it was the only that had a vein connected right to the heart.

When she had told you that you were already a little older and had been able to see it for a while.

Firstly you had tried to ignore it.

You had chatched a glimpse of it during a lesson in school, you had a pen in your hand with which you played when you noticed the red string.

You had thought that it might've been from your hoodie, even though you didn't even wear a red kne that day, and tried to rip it off.

It took you a moment to understand that the string came out of your finger.

For a while you feared that you had gone crazy so you ignored it.

No one else seemed to see the string attached to your finger.

Only a few weeks later you started to see the red strings coming out of the peoples left ring finger around you, just like your own.

You had told your mother in distress about the red something that came out of your finger and didn't come off.

When you started crying in frustration she took you in her arms and told you for the first time how she met your dad.

Back then she had met him in the Republic Padokea, in a Café she had worked in and one day he came inside and asked something.

"Where's the heaven's arena and how do I get your number?" he had said and your mother tried to imitate him as she spoke his words.

She had showed him the direction, she hadn't been in there herself but passed it a lot of times, but he had played dumb and asked her when her shift would be over so she could guide him there.

Annoyed she had said that she would've to stay until the Cafè closed even though her shift would've ended in a few hours.

Until it closed it would've been almost ten hours but she hoped to get rid of the bold stranger and have her peace.

The same noon she sneaked out of the Cafè after er shift through the back door to not be seen by him.

The next day , when she arrived for her afternoon shift, he was sitting back in the Cafè at the same spot as the day before.

"He stayed until we closed and had to kick him out, he seems to be serious with you.." one of her colleagues had said to her.

Sighing she offered him to, this time actually, bring him to the heaven's arena after her shift.

Since there weren't many customers in the Cafè that day and her colleagues wanted to see her in pain, her shift ended earlier.

She felt sorry for just leaving the day before without telling him so she engaged in a conversation with him.
