What is RTOF?

Ah yes.

Tbh I've been kind of holding off on telling ppl bc I was planning on writing it into a proper fanfiction but tbh I think that idea is far behind me now so I'll just tell you. Huddle around, children! Warning, Basil attacks Sunny multiple times throughout.

RTOF is short for Red Thread Of Fate. In the AU (almost) every person is born with a "thread" that connects them to one other person. These threads aren't physical, but you can see them when you're with your significant or insignificant other. Basically there are two versions of the threads that the universe has accepted; soulmate threads that guide you to your future lover, or enemy threads that guide you to the person you hate the most. Of course the threads don't dictate everything, one could still hate their soulmate or love their enemy. So in the AU, Hero and Mari share a soulmate thread, Aubrey and Kel share an enemy thread, and Basil and Sunny share a thread. What kind of thread you may ask? It's complicated between them because Basil has a crush on Sunny and Sunny doesn't reciprocate said feelings. But Basil is too shy to confess to Sunny and Sunny is to awkward to hang out with him at all so they just never really decide on whether the thread is a good thing or bad thing. Over time they both get obsessed with their ideas, Basil getting more and more in love with Sunny and Sunny getting more and more fed up with his bullshit, that they both fully believe that their opinion on what the thread means is the right one.

Basil eventually realizes that Sunny is becoming a little more distant each day and panics because he feels like Sunny doesn't love him anymore. Basil starts getting tormented with awful nightmares and he starts feeling wary of Hero and Mari. One night Basil freaks the fuck out because all he wants is Sunny to comfort him when he's pulling their relationship apart. Basil gets up and decides he wants to talk with Sunny that night, and goes over to his house in the middle of the night with garden shears just in case a dog tries to attack him or something. Bad choice. When he comes in, Sunny catches him, panics because it looks like Basil broke into his house to harm him, Basil instinctively lies and tells Sunny he was looking for his missing camera — which Sunny was using as a temporary flashlight — and they start fighting over it. During their battle Basil accidentally admits the fact that he's fed up with Sunny not loving him back and Sunny thinks badly of him for it. After some more fistfighting, Basil winds up to stab Sunny with his shears as a defense mechanism, and Sunny quickly takes a photo of him doing so. Sunny threatens to tell their friends that Basil tried to kill him with the photo as evidence and Basil has no choice but to back away in defeat.

The next morning everyone spends some time at Mari and Hero's new house! They eat breakfast, chat together, and it's even pleasant for Sunny because Basil decided not to show up! Hooray, I guess? But then after a while Basil does eventually come, and Sunny is not happy about it. Sunny tries to deliberately avoid Basil, and the latter realizes this. Basil tries to get near Sunny one too many times and Sunny starts shouting at him to go away. Basil tries to play dumb, but he knows exactly why Sunny is acting like this, it couldn't be more obvious. They get into a small argument, Basil threatens Sunny's life on accident again, Aubrey overhears and calls over Hero and Mari, and the three of them ask Basil and Sunny what's wrong. Sunny decides this is the perfect time to show them the photo and so he does, much to Basil's dismay. Basil tries to explain the photo, but his brain is so caught up in the fact that Sunny, his supposed soulmate, just put him in a really bad spot. Mari and Hero were unsure of what they should do, and Aubrey decided that it was best if she kept an eye on Basil.

Later that day Kel comes to the house and hangs out with Sunny, completely oblivious as to what happened while he was gone. Aubrey has to explain it for him, and feels very..... Anxious about what Basil would do to Sunny if the latter didn't try to apologize. It didn't take a genius to figure that Basil's trust in Sunny would be shattered by now, and that would make more reason for Basil to potentially attack Sunny again. Everyone tries to cheer Sunny on to go have a non-violent talk with Basil like a normal person, and Kel decides to come with Sunny just in case shit hits the fan. When they reach Basil's room, he tries to get Kel to leave so that it's only him and Sunny. Kel only goes for a little bit to go talk with his brother, and promises Sunny he'll be right back. While Kel is gone, Basil locks the door with two locks and makes sure he doesn't come back. Huh, I wonder why he did that. Basil and Sunny try to make themselves look as innocent as possible, and Sunny calls Basil out and accuses him of threatening his life multiple times entirely on purpose with an entire thought process behind it. Basil tries to make Sunny understand, but it doesn't work. Sunny hates him and he makes sure he knows. Basil tries to get over his prior accidents, but old habits die hard and he's once again fighting with Sunny.

Kel hears this and quickly grabs the key for the room, but he doesn't have the other one, so he runs downstairs to ask if Mari has the other one. Meanwhile, Sunny punches Basil in the gut so hard that Basil is immediately put into "he's trying to kill me so I gotta kill him first" mode. Basil grabs a clay pot of tansies off of the nearby shelf and smashes it over Sunny's head, making him black out instantly. Kel and Hero bust their way into Basil's room, but it's already too late. Kel flips out, thinking that all of this is his fault, and Hero nearly faints at the sight of a potentially dead Sunny. Everyone else comes and Mari calls an ambulance immediately, while Aubrey drags Basil out of there as fast as possible.

When the ambulance arrives, Mari, Hero, and Kel hop aboard with Sunny. Sunny almost wakes up but then slips back into his coma. Aubrey brought Basil to his house with Polly, and they both reassure him that he isn't completely at fault. Basil 100% wouldn't have done that if he was thinking straight, but everything, the threads, Sunny's judgment, the years of wanting to be with Sunny blurring into some far off dream, got to him and he panicked. It took Sunny a really long time to fully heal, but his friends made sure to visit him frequently. Especially Kel. Kel felt very, VERY bad about that day, solely because he made the mistake of leaving Sunny alone. He wants to forgive Basil for what he did, too, but seeing Sunny in a constant coma really hurt his heart.

Basil one day visited Sunny with the full intention of apologizing for being such a fucking idiot (his words, not mine). But, when Sunny wakes up, he's already forgiven the Basil from his dreams. Sunny just accepts that Basil probably did something he didn't want to, and it took a lot to get past his resentment towards him. And the rest is history! Kind of. Idk I didn't plan that far ahead. Yeah, I know, pretty basic story, but hey! It's the best I can do! Thanks to whoever read all this shit.
