Gilbert Blythe Imagines

Soulmate

Soulmate AU

in a few minutes it's your sixteenth birthday. your heart is pounding in your chest while your staring at your wrist. a name would be appearing any second now. the name of your soulmate. you wondered if you knew him already. what if you didn't like him or what if no name would appear at all? you shoved the thoughts out of your head and tried to focus on something else.

five more minutes

you paced around your room counting down the last minutes.

3...2...1...

you stared intensely at your wrist waiting for a name to appear. you shone a candle on it and looked at the name written on your skin.

Gilbert blythe

you gasped dropping the candle onto the floor. you quickly stomped upon it with your foot until it went out. you were utterly shocked, never would you have thought that Gilbert Blythe would be your soulmate. your best friend was your soulmate. you felt mixed feelings of joy and fear but also a little bit of disappointment, you didn't really think of Gilbert in that way but maybe you just needed to try harder. you sighed and sat down on your bed.

how will Gilbert react. should I tell him? or wait for his birthday.

you were slightly older than Gilbert so he didn't know yet. you closed your eyes and collapsed onto your bed falling asleep with Gilbert spinning around in your head.

"so who is it!?" your mother asked when you walked into the kitchen the next morning.

"I uhh" you sit down staring at the table not really knowing what to say.

"are you disappointed, honey your soulmate is perfect for you" your mother says as she tries to look at your wrist.

"I just don't want everyone to know yet" you say hiding your wrist.

your mother frowns and shakes her head. "alright then let's eat cake!" she said changing the subject.

you spend the rest of the morning debating wether you should tell Gilbert or not. would he even believe you if you told him? if someone would've told you yesterday that Gilbert was your soulmate you certainly wouldn't have believed it.

he was going to be here sometime soon and you knew he was going to ask questions. you heard a knock on your door causing you to snap out of your thoughts. you opened the door to see Gilbert with a smile.

he looks handsome... never noticed that before.

"Happy Birthday!" he yelled before hugging you tight.

"thank you" you started chuckling as you wrapped your arms around him taking in his scent. it was sweet like a mix of vanilla and cinnamon.

you pulled away and smiled at him. "and who is it?" Gilbert asked his eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"I uhh..."

should I tell him? I cant just tell him...

"...haven't met him yet" you said with a weak smile.
