That damned song never stopped playing in your head, soft melody, the same words, playing like a broken record. 

It almost made you go crazy, and you never knew how it got stuck in your head in the first place! As long as you could remember, you were singing that song.

"I still watch you when you groovin', as if through water from the bottom of a pool.

You're movin' without movin'. And when you move, I am moved~"

You considered recording it and sending it out to the world, but you were thinking that it would be risky, what if .. what if this causes you to not meet your soul mate? If it becomes a hit, then you'll be damned with everyone humming and singing it, you will never have the proper chance to meet your soulmate.

Right now, you were heading home from collage, it was such a tiring day with 3 lectures. Your body was in pain and your head was spinning. 

You closed the door behind you before collapsing on the couch, turning on the television and lazily laying on the sofa, not even bothering to change into more comfortable clothes than your tight jeans and your baggy shirt. 

You were slowly drifting off to sleep until you heard the sound of fumbling with the apartment's lock. Your eyes widened and you slowly sat up, trying to see if your ears were playing tricks on you, cursing at yourself for watching too many horror movies the past days, but you soon heard the fumble again, and what's more is the sound of the lock actually clicking before the door creaked open. 

 All the colours drained from your face and your body almost froze, but you quickly came back to your senses, hurrying to hide behind the couch, crouched down and held your breath, trying to breath calmly. 

The sound of footsteps drew closer before you heard shuffling around, a hoarse voice that almost turned you on called out "Come out, [Y/n]. I know your around here~" 

This wasn't the voice of anyone you knew, your heart picked up pace and you had to raise your head to keep an evened breathing without fucking up and choking. Your eyes fluttered shut and you tried to keep your emotions under control so you don't accidentally let a sob slip.

There was the sound of footsteps moving away, perhaps to your bedroom. And then the voice disappeared. You slowly laid low before peeking from beside the couch. The door was opened, this was probably your chance. 

But, as you slowly moved out from behind the couch, you heard the footsteps come back, making you bite your lower lip harshly to keep from whining and slip back in to your burrow.

That damned sexy voice came again, cooing as if to lure out a little child "I only want to play, come out little [Y/n]~"

Did the little rabbit, which is you, come out of it's burrow? No, not at all. 

But then, you heard him start to hum softly. The tune that you knew. The one you wished to record but didn't have the guts to. The one that played in your head before sleep and after waking. Your [e/c] eyes flew wide and you let a small gasp in your mind. Now, this was crazy. 

Parting your lips, you decided to take your chances. There was the chance that you will die here and it's just a serial killer who isn't   your soulmate, and then the chances that this is just a similar song, and then, the chance that he will be your soulmate and let you go, or the chance that you will die in your soulmate's arms. Like you always wished to.

 Your voice comes out soft, with a tint of fear, yet it was loud and clear for him to hear. "You are a call to motion. There, all of you a verb in perfect view..." 

As you sing, you slowly try to stand from behind the couch, your legs were numb, and you had to hold the couch so you don't tumble "Like Jonah on the ocean .. When you move, I'm moved."

You had a clear look of what the guy looked like, now that you were standing on your feet. He had spiky black hair and scars on his body. And, those lucid blue eyes, they were vibrant and clear. When they locked with your [e/c] eyes, you felt your stomach churn and flip as your knees grew weaker. 

He slowly walked to you, a blue flame settling on his palm, but as he moved closer and noticed how you were shaking, the blue flame disappeared into thin air. 

Tilted head, he looked at you through lashes as he sang the next lines, and you thought to yourself about how his voice matched his looks well. 

"When you move, I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be.." his voice was smooth, calm and soothing. It made shivers run down your spine. 

"When you move, I could never define all that you are to me..~" you sand softly, wanting to step closer to him, but the couch was in your way and you felt too scared of even moving from beside the couch, with the fear of falling down, and embarrassing yourself in front of such a beautiful man.

He smiled with his mouth corner, walking closer, his hand moving to cup your cheek and you couldn't help but close your eye, leaning softly to his scarred hand as you heard him sing so flawlessly.

"So move me, baby, Shake like the bough of a willow tree. You do it naturally. Move me, baby ~"

You gulped visibly as you leaned closer to his hand, your mind going back to the buzz it previously was. Was he going to kill you, spare you, or kidnap you? 

His fingers danced across your cheek and slid across your jaw before he cupped your chin and tilted your head upwards. Your eyes met again as he moved from the side to you, now there was nothing between you two. 

As he leaned closer, you moved towards him, only to tumble and face plant into his chest. You could feel your cheeks burning in embarrassment, and you froze in your spot, refusing to even look up at him. 

His fingers formed the same dance again and this time, he leaned so close, close enough that you could feel his minty breath tickle your lips and heart. 

Out of reflex, you whimpered "Please don't kill me.."

Silence filled the place, before he laughed softly and pulled away, tipping his head slightly backwards only for his laugh to fill the air. 

He looked down at you again and rubbed your lower lip with his thumb "You're such a funny one." then he smiled "Don't worry, you're .. out of my list now. I won't." 

You sighed softly and placed a hand on your chest, before you noticed him fishing around your bag that laid on the couch. You gave him a puzzled look and he smiled, before taking out your notepad and a pen, scribbling something down and handing it to you. 

He moved away from you and gave a small wave before he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked out. 

The look of confusion on your face slowly disappeared as you looked down to the paper you held. It read 'Dabi : ########' You smiled to yourself as you read his number, before slowly pressing your back against the wall and sliding to the floor. 

'...My bestie won't believe this.'
