When Puck suggested he go spy on the Warblers, Kurt wasn’t sure it was a good idea. The timer on his wrist was down to just 2 hours and change and, while he wasn’t sure how the fates knew when and where a person would be at any given time, he was sure he believed he was meant to meet his soulmate today. What if going to spy on the Warblers ruined everything and he became the one person in history to miss meeting his soulmate?
After about 20 minutes of internal debate, he decided to tempt fate and make the trip to Westerville. As he pulled his Navigator out of Mckinley’s parking lot he muttered to himself, “If this backfires, Puck will pay.”
Blaine was so utterly distracted by the fact that his soulmate timer as he had taken to calling it was quickly counting down to zero and he was certain he already knew every student at Dalton. What if the fates were wrong and his soulmate was about to be disappointed by his lack of appearance.
He was just pondering what this on his way to the Warbler’s performance when he heard a beautiful voice ask him “Excuse me. Um, hi. Can I ask you a question? I’m new here.”
Without skipping a beat, Blaine responded.
"Hi, I’m Blaine and I believe I’m your overjoyed soulmate if the timer on my wrist is any indication."
Kurt couldn’t believe it. His soulmate was a Warbler. A gorgeous Warbler who had just dragged him, the long way, into an impromptu performance with his fellow classmates.
You make me feel like I’m living a teenage dream
The way you turn me on, I can’t sleep
Let’s run away and don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
He was being serenaded by his soulmate with Katy Perry and he was every bit Kurt’s teenage dream.
With the biggest grin he’d probably ever had on his face, he dragged Blaine away from the performance space as soon as he could so he could get to know the man he was going to spend the rest of his life with.
Blaine was overcome with joy at finally meeting the man he would one day call his husband.
They talked for hours once they found some privacy at a local coffee shop.
Blaine knew Kurt was interested in fashion and also a member of his school’s glee club. That he had lost his mother when he was 8 at the hands of a drunk driver and that he admired and loved his dad more than anyone else in the world.
But Kurt didn’t have to say anything for Blaine to be able to tell that Kurt was lonely and desperately in need of someone to notice him for once. And damn it if Blaine wasn’t going to make sure he knew that he had Blaine’s full attention. He may not have any experience with romance but he was already head over heels for this man and he was going to make sure Kurt knew that.
Kurt was over the moon at the fact that his soulmate was so eager to listen to him and really hear what he had to say. He felt the same way about him. He wanted to know everything he could about Blaine as well.
It was a new experience for him, talking and knowing for sure that what he was saying was being heard, but he guessed that came along with the territory of soulmates, and he couldn’t be more grateful that this moment had finally come.
Over the past few hours, he had learned that Blaine had a brother who lived in LA and that his parents weren’t exactly attentive towards him due to his sexuality. Despite the soulmate timer’s on everyone’s wrist eliminating the choice of who one ended up with, there were still some people in the world who believed being gay was inherently wrong and the people who ended up with someone of the same gender had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kurt couldn’t imagine how people could still think that way but, hey, who was he to know what he wanted.
When it came time to part ways for the time being, they exchanged numbers and promised to text each other as soon as they were home. They also agreed to make sure to spend their weekends together from now on to really get to know each other and each other’s family’s, or at least to have Blaine get to know Kurt’s.
As soon as he walked in the door, his dad was hugging him and wanting to everything about the man that would soon be his son-in-law, because of course Burt Hummel knew when his son’s big moment was going to happen.
"Dad, he’s a teenage dream."
