Hunter was glad it was 2 days until his 16th birthday. All of his friends had found their soul mate or were searching. All except 'Baby Warbler' Hunter. He rolled his eyes and shot off a comment at anyone who called him that. Before Hunter showed up, Nick was 'Baby Warbler' He was deep in thought as the stroke of midnight had come and gone. Michael, his roommate said "Only one more day Baby Warbler." Hunt rolled his eyes and snarled "Good god! Im almost 16. Im not a baby!" Michael rolled his eyes sarcastically. He told Hunter "Dude, its 2 a.m and class starts at 7 sharp. We need sleep." He agreed and finally collapsed into the navy blue and red bedspread. He was thinking about his worst enemy Sebastian. That boy hated him for pointless reasons. It took nearly 20 minuets for him to drift into a restless sleep. The next morning during breakfast, all of the Warblers were on edge. Hunter said to himself "Grr what did Sebastian do this time." He sauntered into the warblers' hall to see Sebastian with Hunter's cat Mr. Puss, curled up on the floor doing math review. Hunter nearly growled "Smythe, you have 20 seconds to explain why you have my cat." Seb looked up at him through thick, bold lashes and chirped, "Oh there you are Hunty! I've been waiting for you. He pulled Hunter down to the floor with him. Hunter fought off a smile and oh so many gay thoughts. Seb's smile faded as the already found soul mates of Nick and Jeff wandered into the room. Sebastian used the cold clinical voice that everyone usually hears "Nick, Jeff, get out Im tutoring Hunter." They backed out slowly, the other's name emblazoned on their left wrist in their handwriting. Sebastian had his wrist bandaged to hide his soul mate's name. He was afraid people would see the name that was there. He didn't want anyone else to see it till the person finally turns 16. As soon as Nick and Jeff left, Sebastian returned to his sweet bubbly self. Hunter had never seen this side of Sebastian. He actually liked it. Hunter smiled. Seb purred "Hunty will you cuddle with me?" He shrugged and mumbled, "Sure Bas, I'll cuddle with you. He pulled the younger, slightly taller boy down to the floor. They cuddled contently for a few hours on the floor of the warblers' hall.

Jeff abruptly into the room, followed by the rest of the warblers. Wes scolded the two "Hunter! Sebastian! Get up this instant!" You could hear the others hooting things like "Ohh Hunty likes boys!" Wes called out "Boys Boys calm down. Questioned sexuality happens to nearly every boy through the oak doors of the Warblers hall." He said this while taking a grasp of David's hand. Hunter lunged out at anyone who fired off a comment about him swinging for the other team. He didn't know what he felt for Sebastian. He just knew he felt something. Sebastian straightened up and commanded the group. "Ok boys, we need to take it from the top with the Maroon 5 medley." They all stood up. Sebastian started the audio track. The 18 of them moved in complete chinch in the beginning as Hunter started.

You and I go hard at each other like we're going to war. You and I go rough; we keep throwing things and slamming the door. You and I get so dang dysfunctional, we start keeping score. You and I get sick, yeah, I know that we can't do this no more.

The only mistakes in the first run were Thad missing his queue for Daylight and Jeff being off a bit in choreography for She Will Be Loved. Hunter scolded the both of them. "Thad, you come in at the third measure. You're six beats off! Jeff you have the timing of a blind cat with three legs. For God Sakes sterling at least try to keep up with the rest of the group. Jeff's anger erupted. He screamed, "Just because you're just some little prep boy who's insecure about his now questioned sexuality doesn't mean you have to take it out on those of us who slip up in the slightest!" Hunter's anger went from a simmer to over boiling in a matter of seconds. He attacked Jeff with full force. It was one of the few times he was glad that they taught him hand-to-hand combat in military school. Jeff weakly fought back, but his few well-placed crotch shots were no match for Hunter's trained skills. Sebastian pried the two fighting boys apart. Jeff clawed at the bandage covering Sebastian's wrist. He managed to unravel it slightly, revealing the last letter of the last name of his soul mate, n. Sebastian quickly reapplied the bandage. He turned off the audio track. "Ok boys, take it from the top." They ran through the medley until the mistakes were fixed. It took Jeff three run troughs to get the steps right. It took Thad 2 more than it took Jeff. Everyone was pouring sweat by the time Sebastian yelled "Take 5 guys!" They were all grateful for the break. Sebastian stepped into the closet and stripped out of his blazer, tie and button up. He walked out a few moments latter in his undershirt and yoga pants. Hunter had changed into work out clothes as well. He asked Sebastian "Want a granola bar?" Sebastian gratefully accepted the chocolate chip treat. Hunter and Sebastian shared their snack. They joked around until Sebastian asked a serious question. "So is there anyone who you hope your soul mate is?" Hunter thought about it. "Nope… I'm not much of a romantic person." Everyone walked in before Sebastian could ask another question. They all ran through the medley till dinner. They were all glad Wes and Hunter only had one more practice planned before regionals. They all ate and enjoyed the atrociously high amount of calories. Wes told him "Ok warblers we need to get back to practice. They all groaned in annoyance. Sebastian snarled "No buts!" They got annoyed when Wes kept them there for hours. No one except Hunter realized it was past midnight, that he was officially 16. He didn't realize it until a slow burning agony as his soul mate's name appeared on his wrist. One name appeared on Hunter's left wrist in thick black calligraphy like penmanship. The only word it says are Sebastian Smythe.
