There was somebody out there for everybody. Literally. Soul mates did exist, it was inevitable. But…sometimes things didn't work out exactly how they should have, Blaine Anderson knew this first hand.
"What does it feel like?" Blaine asked one night, as he and Wes sat in his dorm.
"What?"
"Finding your soulmate…what does it feel like?" A slow smile creeped onto Wes's face
"It's like…I've fallen in love before. If love is fire…then this is like an inferno, it's amazing and…painful." Blaine knew that, he'd seen it happen with Wes "it feels like your heart would explode. Every atom of your body would just combust if you weren't with that person that second." He chuckled and shook his head "but once that part is over, it's the most amazing thing you'll ever feel."
"What if my soulmate is a girl?" Blaine had asked, finally voicing his fear, Wes frowned thoughtfully
"I don't think it works like that." He said "I think…whatever this is, why it happens, it takes you into account." Blaine nodded, relieved, and went back to his work.
The Warblers had made a pact. If they weren't with their soulmate when it happened, one of the Warblers would be there for them, because this wasn't the kind of thing you wanted to go through alone. It was happening, their Junior year of highschool it was happening, nearly everybody was finding their soulmate. Everybody but Blaine, of course. He was beginning to feel like the only one, he was beginning to feel lonely. Until, that is, a bright pair of blue eyes met him on the staircase. Things had only progressed from there. He'd found someone who was like him, he'd found a best friend.
"Sometimes I think it's just not going to happen." Blaine says one day, looking over at Kurt from across the table. "I just think that…maybe I'll never find someone. Maybe I don't have a soulmate." Kurt frowns "or…or what if I fall for someone…but they don't love me back." He looks up again and the expression on Kurt's face shocks him. But Kurt seems to realize this and chokes out a laugh
"I know what you mean." He said, his voice a little too thick and smile a little too forced.
oOo
It was Blaine's senior year of highschool.
"Blaine?" Wes asked, looking across the room to where his friend had quite abruptly stopped playing the piano.
"I…I don't think I feel too good." Blaine managed to choke out, Wes stood up and rushed over to him
"Do you need me to get a bin?" he asked instantly "are you going to throw up?"
"No, no…I-it's my heart, it's beating really fast and-" a hand came up to grab a fistful of his shirt, right above his heart. He looked up at Wes, who was…smiling? "Why…Wes, this isn't funny!" but in that second he seemed to register what was going on "What? I found- oh jesus." It was just as bad as Wes said it was. It felt like every inch of him was on fire, his heart was beating at twice the rate it should be and he could hardly breathe. Wes laughed and put a hand to his shoulder as Blaine groaned.
"It's worth it, I promise."
"I'm on fucking fire." Wes shook his head
"Oh, it get's better." Suddenly, pictures were coloring Blaine's vision. A certain shade of Blue he'd only seen on one thing. Kurt's eyes. Kurt's lips, the way he scrunched his nose when he laughed. All of the moments he didn't notice before, the way Kurt looked at him and how he didn't look back the same way. How he would flirt. A snapshot of Kurt curled up on his bed, hands clutched to his chest and tear tracks running down his face. Blaine gasped
"Kurt." Wes smiled
"I knew it."
oOo
Finally, the pain was subsiding, and Wes asked
"Will you be there with Kurt when it happens?" the tears that were already standing in Blaine's eyes leaked over and spilled onto his cheeks.
"Woah…what's wrong?" Wes asked, putting a hand to his shoulder
"It happened, Wes." Blaine said "It happened for him…a long time ago, and he was alone, and he had to me with me like nothing had changed and oh, god." Wes's eyes were huge because…wow, that must have been awful. Suddenly, they both looked up to see Kurt standing in the doorway. Blaine let out a whimper at the sight of him
"What happened?" Kurt asked, rushing over to him, Blaine opened his mouth to speak, but looked away before he could. Wes got up and left the room before either of the boys had the chance to stop him.
"Are you okay?" Kurt asked, taking a seat next to him on the piano bench "why are you crying?"
"Because I found my soulmate." He said simply, Kurt swallowed thickly and Blaine laughed "please don't tell me you're actually worried." He said, smirking "like it could have been anyone but you." Kurt's eyes widened
"Really?" he almost whispered
"Absolutely…and, Kurt…I know this has already happened to you." He said "and now I understand what it feels like…why didn't you tell me?" Kurt shrugged
"You…weren't ready to hear it." Blaine brought a hand up to cup Kurt's cheek.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be…it was worth it." Blaine smiled softly before leaning in slightly
"Can I kiss you?" Kurt only nodded. Blaine leaned in and pressed their lips together, it was brief, and sweet, and everything either one of them had ever hoped for.
"you're right…" Blaine breathed "totally worth it."
(AUTHORS NOTE: okay…I admit, these two cry a lot in my fics…but I enjoy vulnerability, so sue me. Anyway, the next little oneshot I had in mind for this series is kind of…upsetting? So bare with me and don't hurt me :) )
