AU where your arm has a tattoo of the first words your soulmate says to you
Kurt wasn’t sure when he would meet you. He would always lie in his bed thinking up scenarios on what type of day the two of you would meet. Some scenarios were of him in the middle of a mission, and others were of the two of you meeting on an average sunny day. Though he didn’t know the specific details, he did know one thing for sure, and that was that the two of you would meet in an unfortunate way.
Gazing down at his tattoo, Kurt traced his fingers over the cursive letters. The two words of warning were imprinted into his skin, causing a frown to form on his face. He was worried on how the two of you would meet. He would seriously hate it if he met you during a battle. Just the thought hurt his heart. He really hoped that wouldn’t be the case.
“Hey Kurt!”
A voice broke him out of thoughts, causing the German mutant to turn his attention away from his arm, and over to the group of teens that walked across the grassy fields.
“Hello.” he spoke, watching the teens make their way over to him.
At his side, Jubilee plopped herself onto the empty patch of grass, “Are you seriously still thinking about your soulmate?” she asked, getting straight to the point.
Kurt looked at her in surprise, "How did you know?“ he asked, just as Scott spoke up.
“Dude, it doesn’t take a mind reader to know that you’ve been staring at your wrist.” he said, followed by a short chuckle.
Kurt’s face heated up, his eyes lowering to his tattoo. “O-oh.” he stuttered, feeling quite embarrassed for being so obvious.
Sitting across from him, Jean reached out and patted his shoulder, “Don’t worry Kurt, you’ll meet them soon.” she assured with a sympathetic smile, however, Kurt thought otherwise.
“But when?” he asked, looking at his friends with a worried frown, “When will I meet them? What if I meet them at a terrible time? What if I don’t meet them at all? I need to meet them now!”
Scott sighed, “Kurt, chill. You just gotta be patient.”
“Yeah!” Jubilee exclaimed, her attention moving towards Kurt’s concerned eyes, “This stuff takes time. It’s not like your soulmate is just gonna fall out of the sky-”
“Watch out!” you screamed, your hands held out in an attempt to steady yourself as you came spiraling down from the skies. As so, everyone immediately looked up, their eyes instantly widening as they noticed an airborne figure coming straight at them at an intense speed.
“Move!Move!Move!Move!Move!” you shouted again, your arms flailing around as if that would sweep everyone to the side.
Scrambling to their feet, the group of mutants moved back from your line of radar. From the speed of how fast you were flying, one would be crazy to even attempt to stay in your way! So without another thought, everyone moved – everyone but Kurt, of course.
Instead of jumping out of your range like everyone else, Kurt’s eyes only widened as he snapped his attention upwards where you came spiraling downwards from the heavens above.
Kurt could’ve moved. He felt paralyzed from the moment he heard the short words of warning. If he wanted to, Kurt could’ve just transported himself away within seconds, but he didn’t. He merely stared up at you with his heart pounding and eyes widening in a daze.
You were the one. You were his soulmate. An angel descending from the skies above. It was as if God had heard his pleas and had sent you to flee from Heaven and fall directly into his arms – literally.
Not even a second passed before Kurt felt his breath get knocked right out of him, causing the poor male to snap right out of his thoughts.
Toppling over the grassy hills, both you and Kurt fell upon the Earth’s ground, each of you groaning out from the harsh impact. Upon feeling pain shoot up his back, Kurt momentarily forgot what was happening and focused all of his attention on the throbbing pain of his head.
This wasn’t exactly how things were supposed to go.
On your end, you could only swear through a painful groan. “Damn it!” you cursed, your breath coming out heavy and low, “I thought I had it under control just now.”
Rubbing your head from the throbbing ache, you mentally complained over, yet again, another crash and burn. You were so close to landing perfectly this time! But luck never seemed to be on your side.You could only hope to the gods that enrolling in this school would fix that up. Because if you were being honest, you were seriously sick and tired of receiving a flood of bloody noses and broken bones on a daily basis.
“Argh!” a pained groan reached your ears, causing you to blink back the black spots in your eyes and focus on the source of the sound. Slowly pushing yourself up, you soon come to notice that you were lying on top of a total stranger. Immediately, your eyes widen as you swallowed down a shout of distress.
“Oh shit.” you chose to whisper instead before you quickly reached for your goggles and set your eye wear dangling from your neck. “I-I’m so sorry!” you stuttered out, feeling rather guilty for practically drilling this guy to the ground. Now you knew why your landing wasn’t so terrible, it was because someone else broke your fall! So much for good impressions.
Moving your hair away from your face, you moved your body from on top of his own and went over to his side so then you were at least still at his level. Running your fingers through his hair, you bit back a curse as you stared down at his face in concern.
“Hey, are you okay?” you asked fearfully. Oh god, you really hoped you didn’t give this guy a concussion.
Fortunately for you, the guy began to flutter open his eyes, revealing bright yellow orbs that momentarily sent you in a daze. His eyes were as warm as the sun. Those beautiful vivid eyes were so pretty, you just couldn’t turn away as you stared down at him in awe.
From below you, Kurt squinted his eyes. There were black dots all around him, and every inch of his body felt like needles piercing his skin. However, through his pain Kurt could still make out your nervous question through his haze, causing the boy to grin dreamily. “I am now.” he absentmindedly spoke, both confusing and surprising you.
Gazing down at the blue mutant, you took a couple of seconds to process his words. Those words formed the exact sentence that was forever imprinted on your wrist, making your cheeks flare and a grin of disbelief to curl on the corner of your mouth.
While you and the mystery person sat gazing at each other with awestruck expressions, the group of dismembered mutants gathered around and watched the two of you share bashful introductions.
“Well would you look at that.” Scott piped up, crossing his arms over his chest as he shook his head in disbelief. “Perfect timing.”
