Have Faith In Me: Chapter 1
"Hit me, 'cause it's not gonna change who I am. You can't punch the gay out of me any more than I can punch the ignoramus out of you!"
It was like one of Dave's fantasies, or maybe more like a nightmare. Kurt Hummel was in his face screaming at him, almost as if he had finally snapped. Dave knew he had been taking the tormenting pretty far. He heard Puck say the other day that Hummel had a couple of bruised ribs from all the locker shoves and that he was pretty much terrified of Dave. While it kept Dave's secret hidden, he felt horrible that the boy he was madly in love with was afraid of him. And while he wanted nothing more than to hold the boy close to him and make him understand that he didn't mean it, Dave new that he had to hide his true feelings for now. It was for his own safety.
"Get outta my face!" He yelled, hoping that Kurt would listen. He really didn't want to do anything he would regret if he had any kind of choice in the matter.
"You are nothing but a scared little boy who can't handle how extraordinarily ordinary you are!" Kurt yelled. And before he knew what he was doing, Dave was leaning in and roughly grabbing Kurt's face to pull him closer and his lips were smashing against the smaller boys. He squeezed his eyes close and hoped that Kurt was enjoying this just as much as he was. He pulled away, whimpered, and quickly leaned in for a second kiss only to have a terrified looking Kurt push him a way. Whimpering again he slammed his fist into the nearby locker before quickly fleeing the locker room.
Kurt was shocked as he watched David Karofsky quickly run from the locker room. He had been so sure about what he was doing when he had gotten Blaine's "courage" text, and he hadn't even thought about what the consequences could be if he provoked the larger boy. But anything Kurt could have imagined was nothing compared to what had actually happened. Karofsky had kissed him. Dave Karofsky, the straightest boy in all of William McKinley High School, had kissed Kurt Hummel, the only out gay person in all of William McKinley High School. What had just happened?
Surprisingly, Kurt wasn't as disgusted as he probably should have been. If you thought about it, jocks were kind of Kurt's type. I mean look at Finn. However someone so far in the closest that he probably had daily conversations with Aslan was an entire different thing. And there was the fact that Dave, no not Dave-Karofsky, made his life a living hell every single day and that just being around him made Kurt a little scared. There was no way Kurt could be attracted to that monster, right?
But he was curious. Was Dave gay or possibly bi? Did anyone else know? Was Dave willing to come out? Was he scared? If he himself was gay, then why did he torment Kurt for being gay, too? Why had Dave kissed him instead of hitting him? So many questions were running around Kurt's head and he knew he was going to have a head ache soon. Wiping away the tears he hadn't realized he'd shed, Kurt left the locker room knowing one thing for sure: he had a lot to tell Blaine.
"I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrists.
And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right in.
I'll sing along, oh.
Because I don't know any other song.
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on.
No, I'm barely hanging on.
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone.
And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon."
Allie had known something was wrong when Dave had texted her that he would be waiting in the car and that he needed to talk, ASAP. Being the best fake boyfriend ever, he always waited by her locker after school to walk her to his car and then he drove her home before hurrying back to the school for football or hockey. It was weird that he didn't wait for her.
When she got to the car Dave was singing at the top of his longs, another strange thing considering Dave only sang in the shower. She had heard him a few times and had begged him to sing for her. He had told her "that's gay" and refused to. The fact that he was singing so openly in the middle of the high school parking lot where anyone could hear him was worrying. But the most worrying thing was the red, puffy eyes that Dave was currently sporting, along with a stuffy nose to match. While some people could manage to still look hot while crying, Dave Karofsky was not one of those people. When he noticed Allie in the car, he quickly turned the radio off and wiped roughly at his eyes, refusing to look at her.
"What happened?" Allie asked worriedly as she grabbed for his hand with one of hers and used the other hand to turn Dave's head to face her.
"I- I- I-" Dave stuttered trying to pull his face away from her soft hands. "I fucked up," he finally whispered, looking nothing but vulnerable which was a look that Dave could probably never pull off and still look manly. He looked like a pouty little child and Allie was instantly worried. Images of a dead Kurt Hummel popped into her head and she couldn't help but be afraid that maybe this time Dave had gone too far with his tormenting of the smaller boy.
"What did you do, Davey?" she asked gently, fearing what his answer would be. He took in a shuddering breath before launching into his story.
"He-he followed me into the locker room after I shoved him again and started getting into my face. Yelling at me and calling me names, really provoking me you know? And I warned him. I warned him! I kept telling him not to push me! But he kept yelling at me and he had his finger in my face telling me things I already knew," Dave said, his whole body shaking with unshed tears. "And then I don't know what happened. One minute he was yelling at me and I wanted to do nothing more than to smash his face into a locker. And then I was kissing him. And I wanted to kiss him again, but he pushed me away. And I realized how bad I had fucked up. And I just ran. Oh God, Allie. He knows. Kurt knows. The whole school is going to know tomorrow. And someone will tell my dad. Oh God. What am I going to do?"
Allie and Dave had been best friends for around ten years now, and she had never seen her best friend this afraid before. And unlike the many times she had helped him before, this time Allie had no idea how to fix this. She didn't know how to take it back or prevent Kurt from telling without digging themselves into a bigger mess. So she squeezed his hand in a way she hoped was comforting.
"It's going to be okay, Davey," she told the shaking boy. "Maybe Kurt won't tell. Or maybe no one will believe him."
"I can't believe I let it get this far out of hand," Dave whispered, squeezing her hand back. "I just want this to all be easier."
Dave stared off towards the other side of the parking lot where Kurt Hummel was climbing into his Navigator. He wondered what the boy thought of him, or if the boy was going to tell everyone he knew. Dave knew that if Kurt told his soon to be step-brother what happened, Finn and Puck would be on his ass the next day. With a heavy sigh, he let go of Allie's hand long enough to put his truck into gear before holding her hand in a death grip. He had no idea what was going to happen next, and that scared Dave most of all.

The song Dave was singing in the car was "Bulletproof Love" by Pierce The Veil
