My muse bestowed kisses on me this morning, leaving me with enough scenes in my head for another installment of the "Earning It" universe. This one is rated M for a good reason (namely, Chapter 3). I've never written slash smut before, but everyone seems to think I've been doing a good job with the Kurtofsky love scenes so far. It's not nice to be a tease, so I figured I'd finally let Kurt and Dave get some serious action. The only thing that doesn't keep me from feeling like a pervert is knowing that the actors aren't really minors. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-)

Chapter 1

"Everybody say PROM!" Carole sang out, then a bright flash briefly illuminated the room. Finn, Kurt, Rachel and Dave separated from each other, attempting to blink the spots out of their eyes from the blinding flash. "How about one more?" she said. They all stifled the urge to groan. "C'mon, last one, I promise. Each of you face your date, hands on shoulders, and look right at each other!"

Kurt went over to Dave and turned to face him. As they came close to assume the requested pose, their lower bodies met and Kurt felt the blood in his veins start to hum. He put his hands on Dave's shoulders and smiled. "Sorry about all this." he whispered. "Carole's a little excited about having two sons off to prom at the same time. I'm surprised she didn't ask to be a chaperone."

"Nah, it's fine." Dave shot Carole a quick but immensely fond look. Even the mother hen, she had taken Dave under her wing, and lavished nearly as much attention and affection on him as she had with Kurt. "Let her have her fun. You're so lucky to have parents who don't mind that you're going to prom with a guy." he said.

"I know, they're really…" was all he got out, before Carol announced that the camera was ready. Kurt and Dave looked into each other's eyes, unable to believe that this night was actually happening. A month ago, the idea of the two of them going as each other's dates to the McKinley High School junior prom (theme song, "I Got a Feeling", courtesy of the Black Eyed Peas) was nothing short of impossible. But 4 short weeks ago, Dave Karofsy came out to his parents, and overnight everything had changed.

On that fateful day, Dave had moved all of his stuff out of the house while his parents were still at work. Even though he didn't have much, he had no shortage of people accompany him to assist with the task. So when he parents got home, they were not only faced with their terrified but resolved son; but also Kurt, Burt, Finn, Blaine, both of Rachel's dads, Mr. Schuester and Dr. Howell. They stood in a close semi-circle around Dave, emanating an air of support, strength and warning that Dave had to admit was completely badass. Even if half his posse was gay as a Pride Parade float. He hadn't beat around the bush at all, just faced his parents and said clearly, with just a hint of tremor in his voice, "I'm gay." And while still looking his father straight in the eye, he took Kurt's hand, gently pulled him beside him, and said, "This is my boyfriend, Kurt Hummel."

His dad had lunged towards them, and Dave wasn't sure if he was set on killing him, Kurt, or maybe the both of them at once. Whatever his dad's plan was, it was cut off nearly before it began. Mr. Schue and Dr. Howell each grabbed one of his arms, Rachel's dads and Finn blocked him from the front, and Burt and Blaine came to stand in front of the two boys. His dad started to struggle, but Mr. Schue and Dr. Howell yanked roughly on his arms, flinging him onto the couch. Dave's mom ran over to his dad and touched his arm, which he immediately swatted away. Burt came forward to make an attempt to reason with the other man. "Look, I know this is hard for you." he said. "Kurt is my son, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit that him being openly gay took a while to a while for me to get used to. But he's still your son. He's the same person he was 5 minutes ago."

Dave's dad rose to his feet and walked extremely close to Burt. He was bigger and taller than Kurt's dad, but Burt showed no fear or nervousness. He just kept looking at Dave's dad, sincerely sympathetic. Dave's dad looked at his son and Kurt, holding hands, both trying not to cry or shake too visibly. He turned his face back to Burt and spoke in a deadly quiet voice that made Dave's arms goosepimple. He knew from experience that when his dad used that tone, the shit was about to hit the fan. "No, he isn't. He's a motherfucking faggot, and he is not my son anymore." Burt's face flushed, and his eyes went hard as Dave's dad continued. "Get his pansy ass out of my house, and take your fucking fairy of a kid with you." Dave could hear his mom sobbing, but as expected, she said nothing and made no move to even get off the couch.

Burt's eyes narrowed, and when he responded his voice was just as cold as Dave's dad's. "With pleasure, asshole." He turned to walk away, but then turned back to add, "And by the way, don't ever call my son a fairy again. Unless you'd like me and my buddies to come back here someday, and beat the ever living shit out of you." His frigid smile showed he meant every word, and Dave thought he might final lose the battle with his tears. Burt looked around at the other men. "Come on, let's get the kids out of here. I think they've had enough."

They all started moving towards the door, with the exception of Rachel's dads, who carefully approached Dave's still sobbing mother. "Mrs. Karofsky, you don't have to stay here. You could come with us, if you want." Dave couldn't help it, he finally broke down in tears upon the realization that these incredibly kind people would reach out to his mother as well. He looked pleadingly at his mom, begging her with his eyes to accept the offer. He knew very well who his dad would be taking his massive rage out on after they vacated the premises. She wasn't even looking at him though, just stared at the floor the whole time. In a small voice choked with tears, she murmured, "No. My place is here with my husband."

Dave was sad and disappointed, but not at all surprised. His mom had made her choice, just as Dave himself had. He felt Kurt squeeze his hand, and when he looked up he whispered to Dave, "I'm sorry, baby. I love you so much." Dave squeezed back, and together they had walked out of Dave's house.

It was such a short time ago, but the difference between life now and then was so great for Dave, it might as well have been decades. He surprisingly loved living at Rachel's house with her dads, and really enjoyed being able to talk to someone besides Kurt who really understood the whole gay thing. They'd been together for over 20 years, and were still adorably in love with each other. Rachel could be annoying, and she would not stop trying to talk him into singing with her, but he was actually growing kind of fond of the little diva. When she and Finn had had a fight last week, he even offered to beat Finn up for making her cry. She declined, but kissed his cheek and said she appreciated the sentiment. Dave did as much as he could around the house to earn his room and board with the Berrys, and Burt had offered him a part time job at the garage so he could make some money for clothes and stuff. Dave was awfully glad, because he wanted to make sure that Kurt had the most awesome boutonniere ever for prom. Burt's uneasy acceptance of his relationship with Kurt had thawed considerably, and he now was about as friendly as you could get with the guy who was not only one of your employees, but most likely making out with your 16 year old child on a regular basis.

But of course the best change was being able to be completely open about his love affair with Kurt at school, and everywhere else. Now that he no longer feared word getting back to his folks, he held Kurt's hand in the hallways, ate lunch with him every day, and carried his books to the car after school. Some of the other jocks had given him some crap for it, but he was so blissfully happy for the first time in his life, their taunts barely even registered. Frustrated, Azimio and one or two others had tried to make their point physically, but Dave had easily showed them that "The Fury" was just as effective on them as it was on the geeks and nerds at school. He had accidently dislocated one guy's shoulder, twisting the dude's arm behind his back when he tried to throw a punch at Dave. When he threatened to go to the principal, Dave said, "Go ahead. But you might want to think how it will look when everyone knows that a fucking faggot kicked your ass." The kid had not gone to Figgins, and after that the jocks had given up, at least for the time being. Especially as word got around about Dave's gay/straight team of bodyguards, who had protected him from his dad.

Burt and Carole were hugging and kissing Finn and Kurt, telling them to have a wonderful time and be careful. Then they hugged him and Rachel warmly. Finally, Burt said, "Okay, we better let them get a move on or they'll miss the whole damn dance. And remember, Kurt and Finn, we're letting you off curfew-free for the first time. Don't make us regret it, or you'll have an 11 o'clock one until you both graduate from college. Got me?" Both boys nodded, and with that, the four of them went running out the front door to Kurt's car. If they hurried, they might even make the first dance.
