It is an AU of what happened after the winter break. There will be some parts that will stick to canon, but not much. In this, Sebastian transferred to McKinley to try to seduce Blaine.

I don't own Glee, otherwise Dave would be present more.

Jealousy

The hallways were empty and dark. Kurt shuddered at the thought of what could happen to him if some homophobic jock found him. It was a little ironic, considering that he was there to meet his ex-bullies. The last time that they talked was in November in a gay bar, so Kurt was sure that he didn't risk anything.

Kurt huffed and looked at his watch. The Dragons of Thurston were at McKinley to play against the Titans; he saw this as a perfect opportunity to get news from the other boy. Therefore, after the end of the game that Thurston won, he had texted Dave to ask him to meet him in front of the French class once he had finished changing.

As he looked at the door, a small smile came to his lips. He remembered the way that Dave cried in front of him and apologized. He had come so far in a little more than one year. He heard footsteps behind him and turned. Dave was there, looking around nervously, as if he was afraid that someone would jump out of the dark and attack him.

"Hi, David. Congratulations on your win." The boy met his eyes and gave him a shy smile.

"Thanks, but shouldn't you root for the other team? After all, your brother and friends are in it." At this point, he had reached him and they were at the exact same spot that Dave had apologized.

"Well, you're my friend too and I have the right to root for whoever I want. I will just pretend to be disappointed in front of them." They chucked a little at this. After a moment, Dave began to switch from one foot to another.

"You really think so? That we are friends... Even after all the crap that I gave you?"

"Of course I do. You were not the same person that you are at this moment. The past is in the past, so we don't need to keep worrying about it. It will be better for both of us to concentrate on the future." Dave nodded, not knowing what to say to make Kurt see how grateful he was.

"So, is this why you asked me to come? To congratulate me?"

"It's a part of it; I also wanted to ask you how you were doing since the last time that we talked."

"Not much, just playing football, concentrating on my grades, keeping my head low." He shrugged, not wanting to elaborate more. "I still didn't tell anybody that I'm gay if that's what you wanted to know."

"I didn't just want to know that, I really want to know how things are for you." Kurt crossed his arms in front of him, hurt that Dave thought that was all he cared about. When he saw that he had upset Kurt, Dave felt ashamed.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed what your intentions were. Since you really want to know, I'm fine. Sometimes I miss McKinley and my friends, especially since I haven't really made any at Thurston. I feel a little lonely, but it's better than having to hide behind a mask and playing the asshole. What about you? How are things here at McKinley?"

"It could be better." Dave met his eyes with curiosity, not prepared to that kind of answer.

"What do you mean?"

"Did you remember the guy that was dancing with Blaine at Scandals?" Dave nodded, not only did he remember him from that night, he had also seen him many times on his own. "Well, he transferred to McKinley to try to get Blaine."

"What a douche!"

"I agree. That means that now I have to always keep an eye on them to be sure that they don't end up alone together and that it's even harder to get a solo."

"Why do you need to keep an eye on them? Don't you trust Blaine?"

"I do, but I don't trust Sebastian. There's also the fact that Blaine seems to have some difficulty putting Sebastian in his place and telling him to leave him alone. Why is it always so difficult for me?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about my love life. First, there was Finn; he is straight, that means that I was doomed from the start. The same thing happened with Sam, even if I still have some doubts about him. Then there was Blaine, and it took months before he realized that I had feelings for him and then weeks before he did anything about it. I thought that was it, that everything will be alright now and that I would have a perfect senior year, but no. Sebastian came along and decided to mess with my relationship. What's worse is that I'm a little jealous that he is going after Blaine. Don't get me wrong, Sebastian does not interest me, but it would have been nice to have someone interested in me without me having to work for months before they notice me. And now here I am ranting about my problems. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It looks like you needed to let the pressure out. Don't worry, we live in Lima, Ohio, there's probably nowhere lamer. You are just too fabulous for the simple minded people in this town to understand you. I'm sure that once you're in New York or whatever big city you will go to, there will be hordes of guys wanting to go out with you." Dave blushed and looked at the ground, unable to look at Kurt's eyes and sweet smile.

"Thank you. Now that I think about it, you were probably the only one to show me some interest first, when you kissed me." They stood there a couple of minutes, not knowing how to break the embarrassed silence that had fallen on them. "I should probably go. My family and my friends will worry."

"Yeah, I should go too."

They said goodbye and left in separate directions. Neither of them saw a person emerge from the shadows between two rows of lockers, a smile on her lips.
