For the soulmate tether au:

While the tether itself is more energy than any true “string” it very much does have a distance limit where it will go taut. Cloud and Genesis absolutely use this to tug the other off balance, smack their hands into whatever is nearest, or on one notable occasion to make Genesis spill his coffee when the other pisses them off.
