After they got home from the school, Kurt went to his room to calm down for a few minutes. He exchanged some messages back and forth with Blaine before he went downstairs to cook supper. While he was cooking, he got to thinking that it was lovely that they still wrote on their skin, even after they had exchanged phone numbers and could have easily texted. Kurt loved seeing Blaine's handwriting, and the whole conversation felt more personable.

Burt and Kurt talked over dinner about the day and the fact that Kurt had met his soulmate. The blush on Kurt's cheeks didn't leave once while they were talking. There were some awkward moments where Burt made sure that Kurt knew what fully connecting with his soulmate would likely be like, but they did not discuss details. Burt had made sure that Kurt was well informed of the 'mechanics,' so to speak, of intimacy with both genders when he started high school. He explained that it didn't matter who Fate paired him with; what mattered was the connection and that the two of them were respectful of each other's boundaries and comfort levels.

After that talk two years ago, Kurt had allowed himself to fantasize about what that soulmate connection would be like between himself and his soulmate. He didn't picture a particular person but their presence and emotional connectivity to him. That same night, his imagination running wild, he came harder than he ever had in his life.

Since Kurt cooked, Burt told him he would clean up the supper dishes. Both men wanted to pick up the house some, knowing that Blaine would be joining them the following day at some point. Their house was never messy; neither one liked having clutter, so it wouldn't take them long. Burt also knew that Kurt would want to talk to Blaine that night, possibly Noah and that scary Latina girl.

Kurt quickly straightened up anything that needed it, went up to his room, and ran through his nighttime routine quickly, eager to talk to Blaine and Noah.

"My girl went to the doctor cause her heart had palpitations
He said cut the carbs, or else she'd end up pushing up carnations
She stepped up on the scale and the doctor said, "Oh Lordy"
If you don't drop a few girl, you won't make it past age forty"

His phone rang, and Kurt smiled as he answered, "Hello, Noah!"

"Hey, Princess," he replied. "You busy?"

"Nope. I just got through my moisturizing routine, and I'm getting ready to chat with Blaine," Kurt said.

"Good," Noah said. "Come let me in."

"What if I had been naked?" Kurt asked, laughing at his friend's spontaneity.

"Princess, you've got nothin' I haven't seen before! Now, open the damn door," Noah chuckled.

Kurt was now at the front door and smiled at his friend as he opened the door. When Noah was inside, Kurt found himself with his arms full of his friend. "I missed you, too, Noah!" he giggled.

"It's gonna suck Azimo's balls to not see you all the time," Noah whispered. Kurt, and sometimes Burt, were the only people Noah ever showed any vulnerability around.

"Yeah, it is!" Kurt said, hugging his friend back, matching Noah's strength.

"Wanna go upstairs and tell me about whoever this Blaine character is? Or should we stay down here?" Noah asked, unsure if Burt knew about any of this.

"Upstairs is fine; he's already met him," Kurt answered, knowing exactly what his friend was thinking, and the pair headed upstairs to Kurt's room. Once they were settled against the head of his bed, shoulders touching, Kurt asked, "So, what do you want to know?"

"Who is he? I thought you were against dating before you met your sou...is he your soulmate?" Noah asked, shocked as he realized what was probably going on.

Kurt smiled a fond smile. "He is one and the same. He's also the lead singer of the Warblers and my new next-door neighbor in the dorm rooms. It all just kind of fell together today. So, thank you, because even if I wasn't transferring, I would have met him today."

"I'm so happy for you, Kurt!" Noah said and gave his friend a fist-bump. "So, is it everything you hoped it would be?"

"It's even better," Kurt replied. "We…" Kurt started, a blush rising high on his cheeks. He and Noah had been pretty good friends for a while. He wasn't sure, however, how Noah would respond to Kurt talking about Blaine more than just surface stuff.

"What is it, Princess?" Noah asked. "You can tell me anything, you know that dude."

"We kissed," Kurt said in a rush. "And touched our marks together."

Noah sat there slack-jawed. It wasn't that he thought his friend was a prude or anything. He wasn't sure why the news that Kurt had just told him shocked him so much, but it did. "Damn! Get some, Hummel!"

"It was pretty amazing!" Kurt said, blush rising higher on his cheeks just as a new message showed up on his left forearm. "Hey, Kurt!"

"Hey, Blaine! How's your evening been?"

"Well, it looks like you're going to be busy for a little bit," Noah said as he watched the message his friend was writing. "I'm going to go down and talk to your dad for a bit and then head home. I have the early shift at the shop tomorrow, and Mom's at work tonight; so, at least it will be a quiet evening."

Kurt hugged his friend again and told him goodbye. Sometimes, Kurt wished that Noah could live with him instead of the toxic environment he did live in. "Noah?" he asked before his friend had made it completely out the door.

"Yeah?" he answered.

Kurt noticed another message appear on his arm but finished his talk with his friend first. "Blaine is coming over tomorrow, and I would love for you to meet him. Would you want to?"

"You've got it, Princess!" Noah answered with a huge grin on his face, knowing how much trust Kurt had in him if he was asking him to meet his soulmate the day after they had met.

Kurt sat back down on his bed after making sure he had his 'erasing' supplies and read over the most recent message that Blaine had sent. "It was good. I missed you though. Is that weird? To have missed you? I mean, we only just met, and now I'm rambling... And, you're going to see it. I'm going to stop now."

Kurt giggled at this and replied back, "I missed you too!"

The boys talked for another 15 minutes on their skin then opted to call each other. Their hands weren't used to writing so much, and they were getting cramps. They planned out a time to meet the following day, and Blaine was very excited to meet Kurt's best friend. Before they got off the phone that night, they had talked about a lot of little things, neither wanting to delve into anything too deep.

Kurt went grocery shopping while his dad went to the shop for a few hours the next day. He planned to make a simple pasta dish that he loved. It was healthy, so it would meet his dad's dietary restrictions; and, it was tasty, which would meet his desire to impress Blaine. At the store, he purchased the angel hair pasta, chicken, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet onion, and all of the ingredients for the alfredo sauce. He also bought everything to make a flourless chocolate cake. None of them had any gluten allergies, but it tasted amazing and looked really fancy.

Kurt spent the day packing some of his belongings to take to Dalton. He wanted to keep himself busy or else he knew he would go stir crazy in anticipation for his afternoon and evening with Blaine. Burt came home around noon, and Noah joined them 30 minutes later. They were all enjoying each other's company when the doorbell rang around 2:00. Kurt sprang up to answer it, knowing that his dad and best friend would likely embarrass him if they were given the chance. He knew it was inevitable that it would happen, and he wanted to prolong it as long as possible.

"Hi," Kurt said, taking in the sight of his soulmate. Blaine was wearing grey slacks, a green and white checkered button-up, a green bowtie, and green suspenders. "You look amazing," he said and kissed his soulmate's cheek before gesturing for him to come into the house.

"Thank you," Blaine said, blushing. He really wanted to hold his soulmate's hand, but he wasn't quite sure how Burt would react. So, he didn't and followed Kurt into the living room where Burt and another teenager were watching basketball.

"Blaine," Kurt said, "you've already met my dad. This is Noah Puckerman, my best friend. Noah, this is Blaine Anderson, my soulmate."

The two boys shook hands, and the room was quiet. Burt decided to break the silence and ask Blaine about himself. The afternoon and evening were a wonderful mix of talking and food. They even broke out a board game at one point. It was the most fun any of them had had in a really long time.

Before it got too late, Kurt asked Blaine about what he should pack for his move to Dalton the following night. Blaine told him to bring comfortable clothes because once school was out and clubs were over, the uniforms were optional and not many students kept them on longer than they had to. He also told him that David had a TV and Blu-ray player so to bring any movies he might want.

Kurt walked Blaine to his car when it was time for him to leave. He hadn't had any alone time with the boy that day, and he was longing for another kiss. Blaine must have sensed it because once they were alone, he pinned Kurt to the side of his car and pressed a searing kiss to his lips. Kurt moaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, holding him there for as long as their lungs could hold out.

"Drive safe," Kurt said a little breathlessly. "Please let me know when you make it back."

Blaine pecked Kurt again, "I will." He kissed him one more time and then got into his car, his smile never leaving his face.

After Blaine left, Kurt thought about the whole day and his ever-growing feelings for his soulmate. As he was going through things to pack for Dalton, Kurt started singing:

"Fire and ice
This love is like fire and ice
This love is like rain and blue skies
This love is like sun on the rise
This love got me rolling the dice
Don't let me lose
Still falling for you
Still falling for you"

A/N: Noah's ringtone is "Big Ass Heart" sung by him in Glee. The song used at the end is "Still Falling For You" by Ellie Goulding
