"Remember, you'll wait for me here, right?"
Dave watched Kurt's face, so unreadable, until he nodded. He dropped his chin and turned away.
You'll wait for me, won't you Kurt?
The hallway emptied.
Please wait for me.
His feet fell rhythmically.
Wait until I'm ready to tell everyone.
He bit his lip.
Don't fall in love with him.
He clenched and unclenched his fists.
Wait for me to be a braver man.
He blinked.
A man worthy of you.
He wiped more moisture from his eyes.
Wait for me to tell you that I love you.
He felt his heart beating, harder than normal.
And please give this a chance.
He watched Dave walk away. Kurt Hummel was a master of the unsaid. All the questions, and all the plees he heard beneath Dave's words, and saw so clearly in his eyes.
Kurt couldn't take his eyes off Dave, and several times he almost followed him.
And what would he do if he did?
Dave turned the corner, out of sight.
Kurt whispered to himself. "I'll wait for you."
