Title: What's a Soul Without its Mate?

Anime: Haikyuu!!

A/N: Because soulmate AU's are great. So in this one-shot, the first thing your soulmate says to you is embedded on your wrist. Cliche, yes, but Kenma's worth it.

-------------------------------

You sat on your bed, engrossed in the math worksheets that screamed, "Do me or die later." You couldn't help it that you were always so distracted, it was like the words written on your wrist were there for that one soul purpose. It was like they were there to ruin your life.

You had waited and waited for your soulmate to come into contact with you for sixteen years now, but since he was a long term no show, you couldn't help but feel a little distraught.

You sighed and said out loud,

"Where are you, Mister Soulmate? Can't you tell that I need you?" You scoffed and threw your homework on the floor. You didn't really care at the moment, hell you didn't care at all. You were angry at the world, your were angry at your soulmate, but most of all, you were angry with yourself. When did you let something so minor become such a severe problem in your life? Sure, soulmates were important, but they weren't so important that you stayed up all night thinking about them. Were they really so important that you stared at your wrist for hours hoping that maybe just maybe something would give you a clue as to who your soulmate is? You didn't understand why you felt the way you did, but you did, and you weren't alone.

You walked into school with high hopes of finally meeting your soulmate, much like you did everyday. Of course, the day passed, and it was no different than any other day. You sadly watched as other teenagers happily walked and talked with their soulmates without a care in the world. You could feel the jealously bubbling inside of you, but you kept calm and showed no sign of anger or pique.

The end of the day came quick, much to your liking, and you decided that a good fresh bun would kindle your happiness and subside your temporary discomfort. You walked through the automatic doors and quietly made your way towards the buns. Not thinking much of it, you quickly reached out towards the bun you desired, when you accidentally bumped into a person walking past you.

You dropped the bun and bowed 90 degrees before saying,

"I'm sorry, I didn't know where I was going! Please forgive me." You waited for a reply, but when you didn't get one you got curious. You looked up to see no one standing there. You furrowed your eyebrows and murmured,

"Jerk." You went to go pick up your bun but noticed that it wasn't there any more. You scoffed and said,

"That ass took my bun too?!" You stood up and went to grab another when a plastic bag blocked your view. You grabbed it and looked over to see a short male with dyed-blonde hair. You had to admit that the first word that crossed your mind was cat. You asked,

"What's this?" You watched as he said with a straight face,

"Isn't this the bun you wanted? It was my fault you dropped in the first place."

Ba-dump. Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

That was the only thing you heard, your heart was beating so loudly you wouldn't be surprised if everyone in the store could hear it. You couldn't believe it. All those years of waiting for that special moment, and it was happening. Right. Now. You swallowed and said,

"Thanks..I'm (Y/N) (L/N), what's your name?" He looked around awkwardly and said quietly,

"Kenma..Kozume." Your lips tugged upwards as your soulmates name reached your ears. You repeated,

"Kenma Kozume..I love it." His ears turned red as the words left your lips. He bowed slightly and said,

"See you later, (Y/N)." I furrowed my eyebrows and grabbed onto his wrist.

"What do you mean, see you later? You barely even know me." He looked back at you before pointing to your Nekoma gym bag. He showed you his matching one and said,

"We're in the same class..you just never notice me." You frowned and said boldly,

"I wished I would've. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?! You..you could've came to me soone..." You didn't even finished the last word in your sentence, because the overwhelming feelings that were bottled up until now had finally been let out. Kenma obviously was startled by your sudden display of emotion and awkwardly patted your head. He said,

"I'm sorry you've been suffering alone all this time.." You looked up and sniffled. You then asked Kenma,

"So..you're going to stay with me now?" Kenma smiled slightly and nodded before replying,

"What's a soul without its mate?"
