Kurt takes a deep breath before getting out of his car in the schools parking lot Wednesday morning.

After breakfast his dad told him that what ever decision he makes today hell stand behind him 100%. He also told him that he is disappointed that he waited so long but he understands the delay but he just hopes it doesnt come back to bite him in the ass.

He sighs and shoulders his satchel and heads to the door. He knows he took too long to approach Blaine and that today is his birthday. Today is definitely going to be interesting He thinks to himself as he put his hands in his jacket pockets and walks down the hall.

He sees everybody thats in the hall already with papers in their hands whispering and he rolls his eyes knowing that its just new gossip and keeps walking. He feel eyes on him but people are always staring at him so he doesnt think twice about it just keeps making his way to his locker.

He rounds the corner and sees JBI smirking in his direction and he glares at him and flips him off and looks away. Mercedes is standing by his locker frowning with one hand on her hip reading what looks like the same paper as the other students. She looks up at him in panic and he slows down wondering what the hell is going on.

"Uh Good morning?" He leans in and kisses her cheek as she continued to look at him. He feels unnerved by her stare and begins fiddling with his locker combination.

"You sure its a good morning? Do you know what today is by any chance?" He looks over at her and hangs his head in defeat.

"Yes I know today is Blaines birthday. I know I took too long to say something but-" He trails off as she shakes her head at him.

"You know today is going to be a disaster right? Not only will he know but he will be embarrassed because of this." She then hands him the paper and his eyes go wide as he reads the newsletter.

"Fuck! Sneaky little bastard! He could get in trouble for this couldnt he?" He asks out loud not really needing an answer he knows how this works.

When you get marked you protect the name on your palm by wearing a soulmate glove. Its not agaisnt any rules to actually keep the name to yourself(speaking wise)so you can tell whoever you choose to with caution. But many dont dicuss the name on their palm until they meet and connect with their soulmate.

It is agaisnt the rules however to actually show your mark to anybody other than family and your soulmate until connecting. After connecting or claiming said soulmate its up to the couple to discuss whether they continue to wear the glove or not .

He thinks of how this happened and covered his face with his free hand when he remembered. He didnt have his mark protected in the locker room yesterday and JBI must have been hiding out or something. He is an idiot if he thinks he can get away with this.

He looks around and see everybody watching him and he as soon as he meets JBI eyes his anger gets the best of him and he puts his stuff in his locker so he can go after the smug little jew but Mercedes holds him back before he can make move.

"Dont worry about him or this stupid paper. He is an idiot and he will get whats coming to to him No doubt. We told you to handle this Kurt now time is up. What are you going to do?" Mercedes scolds him and he shrugs out her hold and straightened his clothes and grabbed his bag and books and slammed the locker.

"Look I know I took too long and this couldve been avoided but I dont want to hear this I-Told-You-So shit right now. Im aware of the circumstances and I appreciate your concern but Ill handle it" He tells her and walk off down the hall ignoring the curious eyes.

He have no idea what to. Blaine is his soulmate he knows this but how can you forgive somebody who brought you so much pain? But then again how can you just give up a soulmate? What is he suppose to do?

Deep in thought kurt allows his body to guide him to his destination. Not taking his eyes off the ground until a shock goes through Kurts Palm right to his soul.

He gets a strong sense of Belonging, Home and Mine when a warm body collides with his. He steadies himself before putting a glare on his face for the one who ran into him.

His glare disappeared instantly as his eyes go wide as he looks into the hazel eyes staring into his own glasz ones. All of a everything surrounding them disappears and all he sees is his ex bestfriend, his old tormentor his soulmate.

Blaines hand unconsciously reach out to grab onto his left hand to complete the connection but the bell rings and Kurt is snapped out of his trance and looks around at the eyes on him and Blaine. He looks at Blaine again and shakes his head and run off down the hall.

*************************************
"Kurt wait!" Blaines yells after his retreating soulmate to no avail and he runs his hand through his hair. He then remembers where he is and looks around at the nosey students.

"Shows over! Go on about your business" He yells at the students and a few walks off whispering and the others continue watching him as he walks off.

He has no idea whats going to happen between them. That connection he just felt was intense and if he is honest he really enjoyed it. But Kurt broke the connection and ran away. Blaine cant really blame him for that reaction considering all that he put the pale boy through.

"So its true huh? You and Hummel? Not a big shocker considering how close you were as kids." Karofsky asks as he caught up to Blaine on the way to class.

"Yeah its true he is my soulmate but I have no idea whats going to happen with us but Im pretty sure hell refuse me which sucks but I cant really blame him for that" Blaine says sadly and run his hands through his curls in aggravation.

"You seriously thinks he will give up his soulmate? I mean yeah you were a dick to him but really?" Blaine stops his movements and turn and glares at the beefy teen as he heard these words.

"Did you really just go there? I was a dick? Do you not recall you and the others threatened me to turn my back on him?! Had me to bully my own bestfriend and now he fucking hates me!" Blaine spat out in anger at Karofsky and the jock just shrugs

"We didnt put a gun to your head and make you do anything. We simply suggested you drop the queen or you get his treatment." Karofsky explains calmly and Blaine explodes

"Are you fucking serious?! True you didnt make me but I was 12! How the hell else was I suppose to react when 5 bigger kids cornered me and threatening me to ditch the Girly freak? I was just a scared small little 12 year old boy! " Blaine spat angrily in Karofskys face and the jock just looked at him and sighed.

"I dont know be a better man? Look Im sorry for that lord knows how stupid me and Zi felt and looked after we got marked we gave him hell for something he couldnt change. We still dont like the smug little asshole but whats done is done cant change what you did. Personally I think hell be screwing himself over by refusing you what gay man would really want his flamming ass? So dont sweat it man." Karofsky says with a shrug and walks away leaving a pissed off Blaine mumbling to himself.

"Yeah whats done is done hopefully hell let me explain myself I really dont want to be out of a soulmate no matter how flamming he is"


************************************
Kurt ran until he got to the bathroom breathing heavily then promptly throws up because his emotions are all over the place. He walks on shaky legs to the sink to rinse out his mouth. He splashes water on his face and looks at his reflection. Hes paler than normal and hes shaking.

That connection was powerful. It felt amazing but as he broke out the trance memories exploded in his head all at once and he panicked. For a few seconds he was terrified of Blaine as he remembered all the times he was hospitalized by the hands of the handsome boy. He shakes his head from the thought and grabs his satchel and head for class.

He felt the eyes of his peers on him as he entered the classroom but ignored them as he sat down and put his head on his desk as the teacher scolds him for being late. He only looks up when he felt a tap on his arm only to see Rachel looking sadly at him. He smiles back but it doesnt reach his eyes and begin to pay attention to the lesson.

Finally he let himself relax as his mind focuses on sonething other than the name on his palm. Until the bell ring and he freezes as he realized Blaine is in his next class. He sighs after packing up his bag and heading out the door.

"If youre going to say I told you so you might as well walk the hell away now" Kurt says as Rachel catches up to him in the hall.

"I mean yes I did tell you so but thats not what I came to tell you. I came to ask how are you holding up?" Rachel asks as she flips her hair over her shoulder.

"How do you think?" He snaps "Im sorry that was uncalled for." He mumbles his apology to his friend. He isnt upset with her he is more upset with himself for taking too long to make a decision.

"Well Ill accept your apology this time because I know you didnt mean it. Im going to guess the connection scared you? You were shaky and paler than normal when you came in this morning" She asks gently and loops get arm through his.

"It was amazing not scary" His eyes sparkled when he gushes about this and it did not go unnoticed by Rachel who had a knowing smile on her face.

"But the after effects were terrifying." The sparkle disappears quickly And he shakes his head and stops in the doorway of his next class.

"Care to explain what you mean?" Rachel asks with an eyebrow raised as the warning bell goes off. "Darn ran out if time. Ill be looking for the explanation later I got to go" She kissed his cheek and scurried down the hall to her class.

Kurt takes a deep breath contemplating if he shoukd skip class or not and decides against it. He wasted enough time and its about time to face the music.
