[BL] Due to a rare condition, Vince’s end of the red string of fate is tied around his neck, while his soulmate's, Jack, is tied around his finger, like it’s supposed to be.

Theory says that if they "sleep" with someone that isn’t their soulmate, the string tightens on the other end, letting your soulmate know exactly what you are doing.
When Jack feels his string tightening, he feels heartbroken, and starts to sleep around with everybody as revenge, not knowing Vince was a victim of abuse.

When they finally meet, Vince is already suffocating.

Love and fate's hopes for humanity were way too high and all they got was disappointment

Singularity: The Red String Around Your Neck

Jack and Vince, now alone in the hospital room, stare at each other. Jack starts to blush, embarrassed, his thoughts about the other taking over his mind. 


"So, are you excited about leaving tomorrow?" Jack asks scratching the back of his neck. 


The other nods, but he catches his expression falling again. 


Jack looks at him puzzled. Somehow, he can tell the other is worried about something. 


Jack sighs, pulling the chair closer to the other's bed and sitting back down. 


"You just seem like you have something on your mind." 


Vince looks at him as if considering what he should say. 


“Don't worry." He replies after a while. "So, how was class?" 


Jack doesn't understand why Vince won't talk to him about whatever is worrying him. 


"It was boring." he sighs, giving up. "I didn't really pay any attention. Almost finished my sketchbook from how much i doodled while the teacher was speaking. And I have it for years."
