Destiny Binds Us (Or So You've Said)

"Tommy was six when he first saw them - four red strings tied to his finger. He had just sat down for breakfast and was lifting his hand to rub his eyes when the colorful strings caught his eye. Now, he may not have known a lot - he was still a kid after all - but he knew that they had very much not been there when he went to sleep last night. He glared at Techno and Wilbur."

In which Tommy can see strings that lead to people who are destined to care for him always. At least, that's what he was told.(Red string of fate but its platonic)
