——⠀THE DESTINED ONE⠀——
𝓟ost
It was just like any other day for Haku Kanata. He was at his job as a barista at the Starbucks of one of the most popular office buildings out there right now. The place housed various professions such as lawyers, doctors, dentists, stock traders etc... and it really was a pretty decent structure. Not only was the building nice but the food inside wasn't too bad either. There were also a few restaurants that catered specifically to the building and a Starbucks had been set up for quick coffee runs.
Haku could have gotten a better job than a barista but he'd deemed it unnecessary to do so. At least at this particular point in his life. Once he'd found his soulmate, that was when he'd figure out what he wanted to do. The only thing that was important to him was finding her again. It was his fourth life and he wasn't about to spend another minute of it without the girl of his dreams. This job was perfect, it was a 9-5 that allowed him to interact and watch everyone who passed by the place.
The dark haired man had only been working there for a few months now but he did hold out some hope that one day he'd see his soulmate somewhere. All he really had to do was be patient and that day would eventually come. Today sometime they were supposed to be getting a new employee and Haku had been told to show him the ropes when he came. Well, that was what he did best here. Haku didn't think it would be hard. This job wasn't really that difficult to do for a normal person.
He was dressed in the typical worker's outfit for Starbucks. With the apron, uniform and sun visor to keep the hair out of his eyes and the things he was working on. Everyone was required to dress in such a manner to work at the place. As he used the rag to wipe down the table he was working on, a voice was heard from behind him. Micah. This must be the new person. "Ha - " He started to say, turning around to face him. But that was the wrong thing to do. Haku wasn't prepared.
As soon as his blue eyes met Micah's own, his heart started to pound and he felt lightheaded, almost as if he was going to pass out. The absolute certainty filled his heart and he knew without a doubt that he'd finally found his soulmate in this lifetime. But... that couldn't be. Micah was a man. Where was the girl he'd always been with? Where was the girl he'd dreamed about? Why was it a man and not a girl? He blinked, letting his gaze linger on Micah for a second as his lips parted.
It was only after a few seconds that he abruptly realized what he was doing and where he was. Haku quickly closed his mouth and cleared his throat. "Ah, I'm sorry, I spaced out there." He apologized to the new employee, who probably had no idea what was going on. Of course he didn't. Letting his eyes flicker over Micah for a moment, Haku nodded over towards the back door. "You should probably get changed into the uniform first. It's back over here. Follow me." He said and headed over.
Once he was in the back room, Haku pointed out a changing room. A locker room. "You can put your things into your locker. It has your last name on it and the initials of your first name. The key is there in the lock." He said and hung out near the entrance to the room. "I haven't seen you around the place before. This your first time in the building?" Haku asked, curious. Once again, he was hit with the certainty Micah was his soulmate. But he still didn't know what to make of it right now.

haku is a very friendly and outgoing type of person most of the time. he also tends to be spontaneous and entirely too curious for his own good. flirting is a skill of his, although he means nothing by it and simply sees it as a way to make people smile. despite this bubbly attitude, haku doesn't trust others easily, rarely thinking of any of them as people he can count on. he has many 'friends' but none he considers himself to be too close to. when he becomes serious, he's a force to be reckoned with but he rarely shows this side of him.
as a child, in his 4th and current lifetime, a hive of bees tried to sting him to death and a pack of wild dogs tried to maul him. he's been afraid of both ever since. little dogs don't scare him, only medium and large ones do. haku is very protective of his soulmate, knowing how they tend to be. regarding his love for his soulmate, he originally believed it could transcend time and space. but haku had never considered same-sex love as his soulmate had always been a girl each time, so he'd thought it would be that way forever.
haku is the type of boy who dotes on his girl when he finds her. he will cater to her every demand and ensure she lives the happiest life with him possible. because of his undying love for her, they have always managed to live the best possible lives. until an accident, a murder, disease, or old age takes one of them away from the other. throughout the years, haku has always been a slight masochist when it comes to his preferences. this is something his soulmate finds rather amusing, at least the girl version had reacted like this.
they've laughed about it and it was a good memory he'd always carried with him throughout the ages. whenever he finds his soulmate for the first time, haku becomes obsessed with them. he has an extreme amount of willpower, stubbornness and persistence when it comes to wooing them over and is very confident by nature. as a result, he always ends up able to win them over and the two start a life together until they are eventually pulled apart again. sometimes he wonders if this is pre-destined to always happen, is it a curse or a blessing that the two keep finding eachother and keep being separated.

𝓗istory
haku has always been cursed and blessed with the ability to recall each of his past lives. with every reincarnation, he carries the weight of memories and experiences, eternally tethered to the one constant in his rather tumultuous existence: his soulmate. in his first life, haku meets a girl, the embodiment of grace and beauty and they are drawn to eachother. their love transcends time, igniting an undying flame that burns through the ages. through trials and triumphs, they find solace in eachother's arms, their bond unbreakable. but as haku is reborn, so is the girl, destined to find him in every lifetime.
during his first life, he was a skilled ronin capable of much in the way of his fighting skills. unfortunately, his soulmate perished long before him and he committed seppuku to join her in the afterlife. until they were reborn again. in his second (as a boxer, who ended up dying from head injuries suffered during his last match) and third lives (as a mma fighter, who died in a car accident), their feeling endures, a lone beacon of hope amidst the chaos of history. with each reunion, haku loves her just as much. they are soulmates.
as haku embarks on his fourth life, he is met with a twist of fate that threatens to unravel the fabric of his existence. this time, the girl is reborn as micah - a man, which makes haku feel almost lost as a result of this. he keeps trying to connect his past memories with the reality before him but is hesitant to accept a life with a man for the first time. haku also has a special ability, he is able to immediately tell who his soulmate is just by looking at them. he can feel the 'pull' which tugs at his heartstrings and makes his heart pound like a madman. it makes him dizzy and causes him almost pass out.
this is why there are never any doubts as to who his soulmate is and he is certain micah is the one. because he has this connection that he knows will always be there in every one of his lives, he never gets into any relationships as he knows he'll eventually meet his love. what remains constant throughout all their lives together is the fact that his soulmate has the same type of personality, eye color and habits. their ages would also be the same, along with their birthdays. haku was born on valentine's day and is 24. now, in his 4th life, haku decides to pick a job that wouldn't be too demanding for him.
he also avoids jobs that have lots of responsibilities because it would take away his time from his soulmate once he found them. so up until this point in his life, he's only taken on odd jobs and things he could leave easily should he feel the need to do so. essentially he wants them to work the same hours, so they have the same time off, or it's not worth it as he'd never get to see his soulmate otherwise. after graduating from college with a nice degree in business, haku settles on a job as a waiter/cashier for starbucks at a large office building that houses various companies. it is not that great of a job.
it's a 9-5 job and allows him ample time to search for his soulmate during his free time. he's been working there for a few months now and is decent at work, neither good nor bad, just average. he likes to fly under the radar in this way to not attract attention. haku also has a bit of skill with cooking, although he's not really that great at it. but he is decent enough to make simple things that don't make people sick. for a short time, things are calm. but then, micah is hired and everything changes, as his lover is at last found.
in his current lifetime, haku's parents are stock traders who indulge in insider trading and haven't gotten caught by the authorities yet. they've made quite a lot of money and given haku a lot of it in his own personal account. but haku is annoyed by this and although keeps the money, has never used it once. haku wants to prove to himself that he doesn't need the help of his parents and can survive on his own. his parents don't really understand him. he will do anything to ensure a happy life for his soulmate in each lifetime.
