Author's Note: This idea came to me in an extremely boring lesson of Biology. First time actually posting a fanfiction so YAY! Be warned, there will be an excessive amount of Darren Criss, StarKid, Harry Potter and anything else that floats my boat references in here. So enjoy and I don't really mind if you review or not, just posting it to try and navigate this confusing site. If you like it then great, let me know if I should continue. I need something to do in Biology don't I?

Disclaimer: Glee isn't mine yada yada yada. Sadly Darren Criss isn't mine :( Why? Darren doesn't know...

RED VINES! (told you...)

Chapter 1: Supermarket Greetings

Kurt mindlessly pushed the trolley, eyes scanning from aisle to aisle. What did he need again? It seemed that whenever he went shopping he ended up buying everything but the items he needed most. He sighed and pulled the trolley to a halt. His eyes fluttered shut as he tried to recall the shopping list that lay forgotten on the fridge. He remained lost in thought until a horribly familiar voice pulled him back to reality.

"Kurt! What are you doing here?"

A rather stupid question to ask, Kurt thought. What else would he be doing at a Supermarket? He turned towards the direction of the strange voice. He froze. His heart leaped into his mouth as he stared wide eyed at the man in front of him.

"K-Karosky?"

The man smiled "Yeah but it's just David now"

Kurt looked on aghast. The boy who was responsible for all the years of hell he experienced at McKinley was talking to him, actually having a conversation with him, as if they were friends. Another man appeared behind Karofsky.

"Dave, honey what cereal did Ella want again?" He looked lovingly at Karofsky and saw his attention was on another boy. He was smallish in nature but rather cute.

"Oh hi there!" He flashed his pearly white teeth at Kurt.

"Are you a friend of Dave's" He extended his arm out to the pale white boy before him.

Dave gazed admirably at the man holding his hand out to a very bewildered look Kurt Hummel.

"Luke, this is Kurt. He used o go to McKinley with me but he…uhh…he transferred to Dalton Academy in junior year." His gaze dropped to the floor, ashamed to make eye contact with the boy that he had bullied out of McKinley.

"Pleasure to meet you Kurt. My name is Luke." Kurt gingerly took his hand and shook it gently. Luke grinned once more.

"Any friend of Dave's is a friend of mine!" He continued smiling at Kurt.

Dave mustered the courage to lift his gaze and look apologetically into Kurt's eyes.

"Luke? Do you mind letting me talk with Kurt alone for a moment?" His gaze didn't leave Kurt's.

Luke could sense the tension between the two men and looked anxiously at the man he loved so much.

"Sure" He replied nervously, turning around on his designer boots and walking in the opposite direction.

"So how are you?" Dave added sheepishly, attempting to relieve the tension.

"Are we friends Karof-uhhh David?" Kurt narrowed his eyes on the large boy in front of him who had made his McKinley high school years a living hell.

"Look Kurt, I know that no matter what I do I will never be able to fix all the wrongs I made in high school. But you should know that I am way out of the closet now. I'm so out I've got my Grandma fixing me up with guys!" He tried to get Kurt to laugh at his attempted humor. Kurt simply glared.

"I know saying sorry is, in no way, going to make up for what I did but just know that I really, truly am sorry. The things I did to you were wrong. I was wrong. And I am sorry a million times over. I thought maybe one day we could be friends…we share a lot in common you know and I am so happy now. I am trying to leave those horrible high school years behind me. I even have a boyfriend! That was Luke and I think you will really like him. He's into fashion and all that stuff…"

Kurt looked on amazed. Was this really the same boy that he was terrified of in high school? He was happy now. Confident about his sexuality and himself. Karofsky continued rambling but Kurt wasn't taking much in as he stared in wonder of this strong man who was once only a scared insecure little boy. However, he was quickly pulled from his thoughts.

"Kurt, babe they don't have any of the strawberry moisturizer that you love so much so I just got you orange is that OK or –" Blaine came to a dead stop as he saw Karofsky standing before him. Kurt could see his features tense and his gaze hardened.

"What are you doing here?" His eyes narrowed on the man who had stolen the first kiss from his boyfriend.

"It's a supermarket. I am allowed to go shopping aren't I?" Dave added, desperately trying to lighten the mood. He laughed nervously.

"I mean what are you doing talking to Kurt." Blaine wrapped his arm securely around Kurt's waist in a protective manner.

"Blaine, it's fine. Really. Ka-Dave is doing much better now. He's out and proud and he even has a boyfriend." Blaine's features softened a little at Kurt's words.

'Yeah." Dave said awkwardly "I have already told Kurt how sorry I am for what happened in high school. I hope that maybe one day we could all go out for dinner…you know talk about boys, football…I just want to put things right with you, Kurt. I think we could all be really good friends" He looked nervously from Blaine to Kurt.

"Are you OK with this Kurt?" Blaine looked carefully at his boyfriend whom he adored so much. He was unsure about Dave's intentions but if Kurt was happy then he was happy. He trusted this boy more than he had ever trusted anyone in his life.

"I think I need some time to think about all this. You can't just fix 3 torturous years of high school by a simple chat in the supermarket…" His tone was not one of anger but concern. He wanted to fix things between himself and Karofsky. He really did. They could maybe one day be good friends. If only they could push this past them.

"Well, I'll leave you with my number, OK? Call or text me if you make up your mind. I really want to fix this Kurt. Please let me try." His pleas did not go unmissed by either Blaine or Kurt. Blaine gently pried the business from the large hand and nodded at Dave.

David Karofsky-Nelson

Head of Musical Theatre

University of Michigan

"Thank you." Blaine smiled at Dave

"No thank you Blaine. Kurt." He said bowing his head a little to say goodbye and then he was off to locate Luke.

"Well that was interesting" Blaine laughed a little trying to keep the mood light but instantly changed tone when he saw Kurt's face.

"Are you sure you're ready for this?" Blaine looked at Kurt concerned.

"I…I don't know…" his voice was on the verge of tears as he was trying so desperately to remain composed.

"Hey, hey…shh it's OK. You don't have to do anything until you're ready." Blaine's gripped tightened around Kurt's waist as he soothed him.

"But I don't know Blaine! What…what would you do?" Kurt asked hopefully lifting his gaze to Blaine's.

"Honestly, I would fix this. It's been 10 years since you left that dreaded school. I think you are ready. And hey, if you're not then we can just ask him to leave. No big deal, right?" his lips shaped into a little half smile and he kissed Kurt gently on his forehead.

Kurt simply nodded, not wanting Blaine to release his hold on him. But, sadly there was shopping to be done. They continued the rest of their excursion in peaceful silence. It was more soothing then uncomfortable. For, they both knew each other so well that words were unnecessary in their communications.

This left Kurt open to think about what he wanted. Did he really want to fix this? A part of him was happy to leave Karofsky suffering in pain for all of eternity, regretting everything he did to Kurt. But, at the same time Kurt felt like he needed to fix this. They needed to clear the icy waters between them. Would he let Dave try and fix this? Would he be able to fix this? Only time would tell…
