Sebastian couldn't help his shocked look. "You want me to do what now?" Hunter met his eyes. "Go on a date with me stupid." Sebastian questioned, "What makes you think I'd want that?" Hunter smirked, "The fact that your forearm says Hunter Clarington. I'm your soulmate." Sebastian's icy look was replaced with warmth. "I know. I just wanted to hear you say it again. Of course I'll go on a date with you Hunt my darling." Hunter smiled and went on his merry way to Analytic Geometry.
The two of them didn't have any classes together that day, so the only chance they had to meet was in rehearsal. Of course Hunter and Sebastian use that time to their full advantage. Sebastian was sat firmly on the sofa next to him as the rest of the Warblers trickled in one by one. Wes took his seat at the council table, "Ok guys, we need to start prep for Nationals." Sebastian stood from his seat next to Hunter and made his way to his chair at the table, "He's right guys. We've got the next 2 months to get a new set list mastered. 3 songs, it's not that hard." Donovan, who since Regionals had gained a bit of confidence asked, "What's the theme this time?" Hunter shook his head, "No theme, just three songs." Wes brought back out the board, "Today we start the auditions for solos. Everyone who's not auditioning for anything, you can go back to your dorms. Everyone else, out into the corridor, except Nick, who is first up for Video Killed the Radio Star." Nick's audition went rather well. All of them did. The Warbler's faculty advisor spoke up, "Alright boys, the list will be posted on the door tomorrow."
The time for each to look came. Sebastian smirked a bit as he saw his name next to Video Killed the Radio kissed Hunter's cheek with a smile as he saw his name next to Downtown. Thad walked away triumphantly, seeing as how he'd nailed Shiver. Sebastian whispered in Hunter's ear, "It's Friday, wanna go to Scandals and celebrate this babe?" Hunter looked a little cautious, but agreed none the less to meet him there at 10 that night.
Once 10 rolled around Hunter was there waiting at the bar. Getting hit on by strangers was a lot less flattering than he remembered it being, yet he graciously drank the drinks that were bought for him, till Sebastian finally arrived. He smiled a bit and whispered in Hunter's ear, "There you are gorgeous." Hunter couldn't help his grin, "Hey Sebby babe." Sebastian kissed his cheek and sat in the seat next to him, "Sorry I was running a little late. I ran into Kurt and Blaine and had a quick talk with them. They actually want to see you." Hunter met his eyes, with a smirk tugging at his lips, "Come on then, if they wanna talk to me that much. Let's go find them." Sebastian smiled and took his hand to lead the way.
The energy in the room was deafening by the time they actually made it to Kurt and Blaine. Sebastian remarked, with a note of joy in his tone, "Blaine, you know Hunter. Kurt, this is my soul mate, Hunter Clarington." Kurt smiled, extending his hand to shake Hunter's. "You're the military boy we've heard so much about from Sebastian? It's good to finally meet you." Hunter shook his spoke up, "Well I'll let you guys get to know eachother, I'm gonna go get a beer." Hunter nodded, and watched him walk away and up to the bar. As soon as he was gone, Kurt dropped the sweetness in his voice, "Alright, I'm gonna be honest with you kid, soulmate or not, you are making a mistake getting involved with him. Sebastian Smythe is bad news with a capital B." Hunter cleared his throat before responding, "Well what if someone told you that about the person you're gonna be with for the rest of your life huh? How would that make you feel? If someone told you that you're making a mistake because you actually want to be with the person who's name is on your arm, because guess what?" He held up his arm, where it proudly read Sebastian's name, "He's mine. No warning from you or anyone else is gonna change that." Sebastian got back to them, two beers in hand. He passed one of them to Hunter with a quick peck on his lips. "No warning is gonna change what babe?" Hunter chuckled nervously, "Oh nothing dear. Just talking to Kurt about this tv show we both watch."
