A/N: So I promise to continue my other two stories, but right now this story has me pretty excited. I already started both of the second chapters to my other stories, and I promise to upload them soon. This story is going to be completely AU from Kurt's return to McKinley and on obviously. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or the characters in Glee. If I did the show would probably only focus on Kurt and Dave half the time. And the amount of gay shown would make all the ovaries explode.

The cool afternoon air brushed through Kurt's coifed hair harshly as he stood before McKinley High. The school day had just ended, the remaining students rushing to their cars with only a few stragglers standing about in small groups. Kurt had found himself pretty hyped for glee club rehearsal that afternoon and couldn't wait to meet later with Blaine for his date. The fact that he was going on a date at all in a few hours seemed surreal, so he tried to focus on his song choice for this week's assignment. It still amazed him how different things were at McKinley.

It seemed as if everything he had suffered in the past there was long forgotten; a distant memory of sorts. There had been no slushie facials upon his welcoming back, no slamming into lockers, and no constant taunting. Hell, he couldn't remember the last time someone had even called him a derogatory name. He mused to himself that the jocks of McKinley had somehow gotten brain transplants which allowed them a new found conscience, but even he knew the real reason as to their sudden change of heart.

It was David Karofsky. Ever since Kurt had returned, Santana and David had kept good on their promise to protect him with the Bullywhips. At first, Kurt was reluctant; letting David Karofsky into his life on a day to day, maybe even class to class, basis sounded somewhat horrifying. Kurt had been pleasantly surprised by David's new demeanor. He was so much kinder and seemed to really regret the past. It was definitely something to adjust to but with Dave being there every time Kurt turned around, he found himself becoming used to it quickly. He was always there, lurking at the end of hallways, shadowing Kurt's every move and watching his surroundings closely to ensure that Kurt was out of harm's way.

Once upon a time, the idea of Karofsky following Kurt around in a stalker-ish manner would have envoked feelings of terror in the smaller boy. Now, though, those thoughts felt like things of the past, just like the feeling of a slushie in his face. David's presence was more of a comfort than a necessity, Kurt was sure, but it didn't change the fact that he did feel safe whenever he'd see a glimpse of that flimsy, cheaply made red beret. He often times found himself expecting it way before it would actually appear. It had become a regular thing now, seeing David and feeling David's steps just feet from his own. Whenever he was near, Kurt felt as though no one could ever harm him and that maybe it wasn't such a far stretch from the truth.

People still feared David. Very much so. He had a way of intimidating people with just a glance of his eyes. Other students, jocks included, knew to stay away and now that Kurt was part of the entity that was the Bullywhips, it seemed the threat was mutual. No one would mess with Kurt because no one would mess with David. It made perfect sense and yet Kurt still couldn't wrap his mind around his new found safety at McKinley.

Kurt was startled from his thoughts when his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. Pulling it out and glancing at the phone number, he felt the edges of his mouth turn up in an automatic smile.

"Hello Blaine!" Kurt said with a grin as he sauntered to a bench on the outside of McKinley's doors. Glee could wait for a few more moments. It hadn't started just yet, anyways.

"Hey, Kurt." Blaine said in a low voice. Kurt felt his stomach twist in a frenzy of butterflies. "I think we should talk.."

That's when his stomach stopped the fluttering and began to sink.

"It's going to be so fucking awesome, man." Azimio said with an exuberant expression. David couldn't help but chuckle as he put his football gear away in his locker.

"So who's invited to this so called, 'Best party that has ever happened in loser ass Lima and you bitches better recognize'?" Dave said, quoting Az's earlier rebuttal to another jock's mocking.

Az shook his head and pulled on his shirt. The rest of the team had already been mostly showered and dressed. David had opted to take a little longer outside. If it had anything to do with his comfortability around his team mates, well they had no clue. He honestly just didn't like getting showered in front of almost anyone. He had built up enough tolerance to do so before he had admitted to being gay to himself, but now that he was actually on the constant verge of actually coming out, he just couldn't do it anymore. It wasn't because he was afraid he'd be turned on or anything, it had nothing to do with that.

It was because he sometimes thought they would be able to tell. He knew it was unreasonable, even stupid, but he sometimes thought they'd take one look at his nervous state and figure out how queer he really was. And he couldn't handle that sort of realization while standing in the nude.

"Well, everyone. Literally. I said that anyone could come. Freaks and geeks included. I don't give a shit, I want to have the biggest, baddest party this town has ever seen before I leave this shit place. I might still have senior year ahead of me and all, but perfect opportunities like this don't come around often. My folks are going to be gone for a whole two weeks for their renewed vows and fuck me if I'm not using that as a chance to throw the best goddamn party ever." he replied. David laughed and began to take off his own shirt.

"I know you've been doing that Bullywhips shit for Santana and all, but you're still invited D. Don't think just 'cause my boy is pussy whipped that he ain't coming, you hear?" Azimio said with a cheeky grin. Dave licked his lips nervously and Az caught the movement. "What I say to make you all nervous now?"

David looked at him surprised and tilted his head.

"How did you know I'm nervous about your party?" he said confusedly. Azimio gave a shrug and half smile.

"D, you've been my best friend since, like, fuck, I don't know? Second grade?" he replied. "I know what you do when you get nervous, and that whole licking your lips shit is it. You do it every time, man, how would I not notice after being friends with you for more than half my life?"

David smiled slightly and shook his head. He often times thought he could easily come out to Azimio. He was like his brother in many ways and he never seemed to care what David did. When David had started becoming so afraid of his sexuality that he lashed out on Kurt for being such a "fag", well Azimio was right by him doing the same thing. It wasn't always a good thing, but he couldn't remember Azimio actually hating gay people until David did. Maybe that meant something, no, David knew that meant something and he also knew that sometime soon he'd have to tell him. Next chance he was alone with him he'd at least try.

"Well, I don't know, Z. I might come but-"

"No buts about it, D. You're coming to my party. Got that?" David laughed and rubbed the back of his head.

"When is it?" he said with a second's hesitation.

"Tonight. Not that makes a difference, 'cause you're still coming." he said with a half hearted glare. David smiled and chuckled.

"Okay, okay I get it. I'm coming. Promise."

"And hey, since you're tight with Hummel now, tell the gleeks to come too. I figure it'll be my good deed for the year."

"What's that?"

"Letting em' come to the most kick ass party eva." he said over his shoulder as he walked out of the room.

David was somewhat surprised that Azimio hadn't used any slurs to describe Kurt, instead opting to just call him by his last name. Then again David hadn't used any since last semester, so maybe that's why.

David threw the rest of his clothes off into his locker temporarily as he put on a towel and headed for the showers.

Kurt's eyes were beginning to hurt from holding back the tears so long. He ran to the boys' locker room and pushed past the doors quietly. Searching the confines of the room for a mere second, he saw that the room appeared to be empty. He huddled up to the bench as he walked farther in and grabbed for his knees. Football practice was over and he knew no one else would be left in the room. He could thank Finn for informing him of his ever convenient schedule later.

He sobbed lightly into his knees and felt himself coming undone. He bitterly thought that he could now relate easily to his performance of unrequited love songs. Great, he was becoming Rachel fucking Berry. How could his first high point be that his performance's would be more believable?

The idea that Blaine had just so quickly let him down, after professing his feelings for him, made no sense at all to Kurt. Every time he thought things were going good, something bad would immediately follow. His goods were always to be out weighed by the bads and he was beginning to become severely pissed at the world. What had he ever done that deserved this much heart ache?

He felt the knees of his pants become soaked in his tears and his body shake slightly. He was glad he had missed glee. He couldn't handle them and their drama right now. Everyone would obviously have begged Kurt to tell them what was wrong and he honestly didn't think he'd be able to tell them without feeling terrible. Not that he didn't already.

As Kurt rubbed at his eyes, he realized there was a faint voice in the locker room. He strained himself to hear better and listened closely.

Someone was singing.

And they weren't too bad, either. He listened closely to the lyrics and could only make them out vaguely. He had heard the song in the past, he was sure. He couldn't exactly remember the band name or the song name, but he did remember it.

You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far

Kurt couldn't help but wonder who the voice was coming from. They sung the song in a low octave and were only slightly pitchy. He suddenly heard their footsteps coming closer and began to get up to leave. He stopped in his tracks as David came out wearing only his towel.

Oh, well that explains mystery person.

David made a noise that could only be labelled as a squeal and held his towel tightly as he stumbled backwards toward the edge of the lockers. He came extremely close to falling on his ass, and Kurt couldn't hold back the laugh as it reverberated through his chest.

David's face was reddening quickly and he peeked around the lockers to look at Kurt.

"Um, uh, hey Kurt.." he said with a blush and wide eyes. Kurt laughed a little bit more and David blushed even deeper. Well, that wasn't exactly who Kurt was expecting to see. Not in the least.

"Sorry for startling you, David." he said through his giggles. David was licking his lips and looking down to the tile floors with an embarrassed look.

"'S nothin'. Just didn't know anyone else was in here. I thought for sure I was alo-" he stopped speaking and looked up at Kurt with a shocked look. "Um.. did you just hear me singing?" he asked quietly.

Kurt smiled and laughed breathlessly. It was weak, but at least it got his mind off of his love life issues.

"Yes, I did. You sounded.. good. Which is weird, because you're David 'the Fury' Karofksy and I really wouldn't think he'd have the least bit of a clue as to how to sing. I guess you're just full of surprises these days, aren't you?" he said with a smile. David bit his lip and looked down again. That blush wasn't obviously going anywhere.

"Oh, uh.. well thanks. I think." David replied. He walked out from behind the lockers and reached into his locker and grabbed his clothes so quickly that Kurt was sure he barely had time to register the movement. He then went to the other side of the lockers and presumably got dressed, because when he returned he wasn't in only a towel. He shrugged on his shirt as he came back to where Kurt was, his face a lot less red.

"So, uh, why exactly are you in here?" he said as he sat beside Kurt. He turned to look at Kurt and his face suddenly donned a look of realization. Shit, Kurt's eyes must have still been red. Oh, well. He could handle having to explain his relationship issues to David. Way better than the entire glee club. "Fuck, Kurt. Have you been crying?" he said. His eyes appeared pretty worried to Kurt. Kurt smiled and sighed lightly.

"Yes, but I think I'll be fine. It's.. I just got dumped." he said as he stared at his hands folded neatly in his lap.

"Why the hell did Eyebrows dump you?" Kurt laughed dryly at the eyebrows part.

"He said that he had met someone else. Someone who had just transferred to Dalton. He said there was an instant connection, and that he honestly sort of felt like we were awkward as anything more than friends." Kurt replied with a sigh. "I think he never really felt anything for me from the start, just sort of a convenience thing for him. I was there and I was gay and I liked him. What other options did he really have?" Kurt looked up at David with watery eyes.

David looked at him like he was actually pissed, which secretly made Kurt nervous.

"Why the fuck would anyone choose you because of convenience?" he said with an annoyed tone. Kurt felt a little easier knowing that he was pissed at Blaine and not him. Not that he ever really had a reason to be pissed at Kurt. "So, do I have to kick his ass now?"

Kurt looked at David with a half frown, but couldn't keep himself from smiling for too long. It was adorable that David felt the need to protect Kurt so much.

"No, violence is never the answer, David. You're supposed to be learning that." he said with a stern look, even though he was still smiling subtly. David smirked a little and looked away. "I'll be fine once I get my mind off of things anyways."

David looked back to Kurt and licked his lips again.

"So, um, Azimio wanted me to tell you that you're invited to his party of the century tonight." David said. Kurt's mouth fell into an 'o' shape and he stared at David confusedly. "He actually wanted me to tell you that all of the glee club is invited. The whole school is, but he said since I'm around you alot, that I should go ahead and tell you. Not sure if you already had heard about it or not.."

Kurt pondered this information for a second. Now why on earth would Azimio Adams be inviting the entire school to a party?

"This isn't some sort of sick plot to slushy the entire glee club in front of the whole school, is it?"

"Oh, fuck no! I would never agree to that shit. Not anymore." he said with a shake of his head. "Believe me, Kurt, far as I know it's just a kick ass party that he wants to make huge. He invited you guys because he thought for sure that it'd be the 'nice' thing to do in his mind. Said it was his charity for this year."

Kurt laughed slightly and relaxed a little. Maybe this wasn't a ploy.

"So are you going?" Kurt asked. David smiled a little and nodded his head. Kurt thought carefully before asking his next question. It was sort of stupid to resort to this, but he had never actually 'cut loose' and acted like a typical teenage boy before, so maybe this would be acceptable after having his heart broken by his first boyfriend. "Is there going to be alcohol?"

"Probably, why?" David asked with a suspicious look.

"Well, I was supposed to go on a date tonight. My first real one, actually. So maybe instead I can hang out with a bunch of idiot teenagers and get shit faced." he said with a sigh. David's eyes widened. He stared at Kurt as if he had grown a second head. "What?"

"You just said shit faced. I don't think I've ever even heard you cuss before, and now you're saying shit faced and talking about getting drunk." he said. He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck as he stood up. "Well, if you do come and get shit faced, I'm still keeping an eye on you. I'd feel terrible if anyone tried to mess with you while you're hammered."

Kurt rolled his eyes and reached for his bag, slinging it over his shoulder as he stood up. David worried way too much about him.

"Look, it's sweet of you to want to watch after me, but I'm a big boy David. I can handle my own."

"Not too well, though." Kurt rolled his eyes again and sighed. "Kurt, I promise not to bug the shit out of you, but maybe instead of just watching you I can come over and hang around you or something. I mean, if no one else comes that you know. And if you want me too. You don't have to let me, I just figured I'd probably be pretty bored myself and you might be bored so maybe we could be bored together since it's not as bor-"

"Okay, David. Okay, I get it. You can hang around me if my friend's aren't there and I come. I'm fine with spending time with you now that you're not a complete neanderthal. I actually might enjoy having the company of another non heterosexual since more than likely most people will be drunk and sucking face." he said with a soft giggle. He wasn't exactly lying, having someone else who wasn't interested in the opposite sex beside him might make the whole experience less terrible. Not that anyone else would know that David was gay. It was still somewhat comforting of a thought, though.

"So I guess I'll see you tonight at um, I think eight?" he said with shy smile. Kurt smiled back and nodded his head. "Do you know where Z lives?"

"No, but I'm sure Finn does and he'll probably be going along with me."

"Oh, so you probably won't want me to sit with-"

"You know, David, if you want me to hang out with you at the party so bad, I'm not completely heartless. I'll sit with you somewhere if you'd like. I probably won't want to be around the gleeks anyways. They'll only start asking me how Blaine and I are doing, and then I'll have to tell them he dumped me which is kind of devoid of the purpose, no?"

David blushed slightly again and gave another small smile.

"You won't be embarrassed to be hanging around with the local fag, will you?" David flinched at the word and shook his head.

"Don't call yourself that." he said with a lick to his lips. It made Kurt feel a little better that David was hurt that he had called himself a 'fag'. Of course, that was partially because he knew that the word applied to both of them in a negative way, but it was himself that he was targeting. "And fuck if I care what they think. It's not like I can't be friends with you. I'm sure we won't be sitting in the main room anyhow. Unless you want to. Else wise, I was gonna go to Az's game room and hide out there. The sofas would be unoccupied and I won't have to pretend to be 'pussy whipped' by Tana as Z called it."

Kurt giggled at the comment and nodded his head.

"The game room sounds fine as long as I get to bring something alcoholic with me. I'm usually completely against drinking, but tonight's a different manner. I just want to be as stupid as every other teenage boy for once."

"He isn't worth being so hurt over, Kurt." Kurt sighed and smiled.

"Thank you. Even though right now I can't exactly believe you, it's still nice of you to say."

Kurt glanced at David and then turned to leave.

"I'll see you tonight, David. Help me find something good to drink and don't let me do anything too stupid."

As Kurt left the locker room, David felt his stomach tie in knots and his mouth turn up in a smile. Damn, he was going to be hanging out with Kurt Hummel. And willingly, too. Not like at school when he was forced to be beside David, but outside of school and in public. Even if he was going to wasted half of the night, the thought of just being around Kurt for a few hours was enough to make David want to pump his fist into the air.

And if he did, well, no one was around to see that.

A/N: So I'm actually super excited about this story. I should be updating really soon, like maybe tomorrow or the next day. Even if Glee is airing and will obviously be lacking Davey, my story and my Kurtofsky spirit most definitely will not. The party itself will be covering a few chapters, and the rest will cover.. well I'll guess you'll just have to wait and see ;) I was honestly inspired to make this story after all of the party movies of the nineties and early two thousands. I guess this decade, too, but I honestly find really got the idea to make an awesome party Kurtofsky fic from the movie "Can't Hardly Wait". The name of the story comes from that, actually. It's a song called "Only You" by Yazoo. It was from a pivotal point in the movie. I thought it was befitting for this story so I decided to go with it. This story will, like most party movies and stories, be somewhat crazy at times but believably so. I intend to make Azimio's party one hell of a shebang. The song in this chapter is called "Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd if you didn't know and were wondering. I thought the lyrics somewhat fit David while not exactly saying too much. I also thought it wouldn't be a far stretch from his musical tastes. ANYWAYS. Please review and tell me what you think! Those things keep me motivated. Like crack, man.
