《String//Nagito Komeada》.5.

"I'm going to make you destined for me."
"Nagito! Stop acting weird! Let's just go home." You say, almost worriedly.
Nagito doesn't say anything you you. He just stares. It makes your blood boil.
"Nagito Komaeda! Stop acting like a freak and let's go!" You yell.
Silence.
"I don't care how much you want me! LETS GO HOME!" You scream.
Nothing.
Tear form at your eyes. Why is he acting so strange all of a sudden? Sure the soulmate thing is sudden but he's confessing his love? And saying he's going to make you his soulmate? What is his problem?! The only thing running through your veins is fear. Fear for your life, and your future. It seems overrated to fear for your life. The way he is acting makes you wonder what's going on inside his head. One moment he's fine and the next he's gone silently insane.
"(Y/N) come now. I want to get us home." Nagito calmly says.
You freeze. Who is this boy? What just happened to the psychotic man that was before you?
"Who are you?" You softly whisper.
•••
The walk home is dead silent. Not a cough or sniffle is produced form you two on the walk home. All you do is stare at your feet as they dragged across the sidewalk while you venture home.
"Here we are at your home." Nagito bluntly says.
You puff out air. "Thanks Nagi." You grumble.
You walk up to your doorstep and stop. Nagito follows close behind, and stops when you do. He grabs your shoulders and makes you look in his eyes.
"I shouldn't of confessed my love to you." He mumbles.
"Oh no Nagito it's okay." You tell him, sort of feeling bad for reprimanding him about it.

"I- I know you don't like me and-" Nagito cuts himself off. "-I'm gonna go home."
"No! Nagito it's late." You exclaim. You click on your phone and look down at the time.
"That late?" You mumble to yourself.
Nagito pulls you close to him. His face is near millimeters away from yours. Your (E/C) eyes pierce into his. The Blue-gray eyes in front of you flutter closed. Before you know it-
-His lips are on yours.
Your brain becomes static. No words or thoughts come to you until he pulls away. Despite all the jumbled thoughts in your head, nothing comes out of your mouth. He kissed you! Your best friend of practically forever stole your very first kiss. Even if it was a selfish thing of him to do, you enjoyed it.
"N-Nagi-" You begin to whisper.
"I'm sorry. I'll just-" Nagito starts but you're quick to stop him.
"Just stay here?"
Nagito smiles at you. "Yeah."
You lace Nagitos hand with yours. You open your door with your free hand then walk into the dark cavern of your home. Not bothering to flip on any lights, you lead Nagito to your room. You feel odd, doing this. It's like you're under a weird spell. He's all of a sudden making your heart beat like crazy. Nonetheless, you lay down in the same bed as him, and fall into a slumber. You feel him pull you closer in his sleep. Something that disturbs you is the dark rupture of laughter that leaves him before you fall asleep.
•••
When you wake up, you feel cold. You realize Nagito is gone. With a sigh, you stand up and get ready to go about your day. Something feels off though- extremely off.
You push the feeling to the back of your brain, just assuming it's 18 year old jitters. You walk to your bathroom, and and turn on the shower. The water warms and you get undressed. When you step in, the warm water hits you. A smile spreads on to your face.

You shower, then go along with your daily routine. Dressing, brushing your teeth doing your hair. Your stomach has a pit in it though. Something to be off!
You walk into your kitchen so you can get yourself breakfast. You look around.
"Did Nagito clean my house?" You ask yourself.
Maybe that's why you feel off. Your house is clean. You smile and keep going on with life. You get out (Favorite Cereal), milk, bowl and spoon. First you pour your cereal and milk, then you go to your table and sit. You see a note, neatly folded up. You unfold it.
(Y/N)-
I'm sorry. Really sorry. Just take a look at your finger. I'm so sorry. I love you so so much.
-Nagito Komaeda.
Look at your finger? What? You do as the note says and look at your finger. Nothing seems off... why is he sorry? You continue to study the red string. Then you notice something- a neat little bow in the center.
Oh, so that's what he meant.
He made you destined for him.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
