October 2
It was freezing outside and David shuffled uncomfortably on his feet as he tried to get feeling back in his legs and fingers. He wanted to be anywhere but here at this particular moment. He still couldn't figure out why he had promised Santana he would go out on a blind date. He was 34 years old and a successful sports attorney living in New York City and here he was like a pathetic idiot waiting to meet this guy who was just his type according to Santana. He checked his phone to check the time for the fifth time in ten minutes and felt the ball of nerves grow larger and larger in his stomach. His breath caught in his throat when he saw Kurt appear in front of him. He looked gorgeous. He was wearing a peacoat and a sparkly scarf wrapped around his neck. Kurt had the same shocked look on his face when he saw David. They hadn't seen or spoken to one another in over eight years. The last time had been at Finn's funeral and then it was just simple pleasantries and niceties. Kurt was the first to recover and stepped forward to shake Dave's hand. They exchanged greetings and sat in the corner table by the window overlooking the water and sparkly lights of the holiday season. Kurt and Dave talked about Santana tricking them into having dinner. It was awkward at first, but then Kurt and Dave saw Rachel and Sam on a date and they spent over twenty minutes watching them and providing play by play commentary on how awkward that date must be for Sam. Dave was pleasantly surprised to see how easily it was to talk to Kurt. Kurt must have felt the same because he invited Dave to go to Scandals with him for drinks and maybe dancing. They end up skipping the dancing and take a walk through the park. It's midnight before Dave even realizes they have been talking and reminiscing for over five hours. He wants to end it before it loses its novelty and walks Kurt back to his car. Kurt smiles and grabs Dave's phone before he knows what hits him. As he's driving home he hears his phone ding and he smiles. When he gets home he responds to Kurt's text and he sends a quick one to Santana thanking her for lying to him and setting him up with Kurt.
