Blaine swallowed hard, watching the couple with his lip wedged between his teeth. It was their fourth date. She wasn't sure if she could date an older man, and he wasn't sure if his family would approve of him dating someone of lower class.

Blaine was there to change that.

Usually, he liked to let free will decide. People fell in love of their own accord, and Blaine thought that was great. But sometimes, people were just meant to be together, and just couldn't see it.

That was where Blaine stepped in.

He lifted his bow, reaching for an arrow as he lined the couple up. He had to hit both of them, or it wouldn't work. When he was sure, he took a breath and let the arrow fly, watching it soar through them.

Now they were in love.

Being hit by Cupid's Arrow didn't hurt. It gave you butterflies and warmth in the pit of your stomach, and it made you know, down to your very core, that this person was your soulmate. Couples hit by Cupid's Arrow didn't ever divorce – never got to the point where breaking up was an option.

Real love was powerful.

Blaine smiled faintly as the couple's conversation picked up, their heart eyes growing for each other.

Blaine would never get over the immediate change.

Of course, they wouldn't just immediately admit it to each other. They were still individual people, and despite her hesitance, Blaine was sure that she would be the one to initiate anything more than the hug at the door that they had been sharing on the previous three dates.

Blaine was a bit of a hopeless romantic, but sometimes he got bored.

Like when the prostitute accidentally got pregnant. Blaine had felt the new life inside her, the moment it was conceived, so he hit her up with the man who'd gotten her pregnant. Now they were in love. He figured he was doing them a favour.

Blaine watched people go. He watched time go on. He saw couples get together. He saw couples break up. Sometimes he stepped in, and sometimes he didn't.

Whether anyone found true love or not was entirely up to him.

But Blaine didn't really know what love was like.

He knew what it did to people.

He loved making it happen.

But sometimes, in the back of his mind, Blaine wanted it too.

But Blaine didn't even know if he could love. He'd never even spoken to another person in his entire life. To the rest of the world, he was invisible.

But the isolation wasn't too bad.

He got his social interaction from the love he brought to people.

So it wasn't that bad.

But he wanted more.

He wanted someone to be with.

Cupid wanted to fall in love.
