After working all week Dave sighed to himself as he pulled up for a second time in front of 'Burt's Mechanic Shop'. He throws himself out of the truck that seems faintly of hockey gear and a bit of a locker room. He walks to the garage and see's Kurt ass. Kurt was bent over his sister's old Ford and Dave was giving an uninterrupted view of Kurt's firm round ass. Snapping out of it he speaks
"Ah Kurt?"
Kurt jumps up and whips around and looks a little startled. Kurt once again dressed in a pair of grey cover alls with his name stitched on the left breast pocket and a blue bandana keeping his hair clean.
"Hi"
"Yeah Hi, I have I'll first payment for you"
"Oh I told you there was no hurry"
"There umm isn't that much but it's something"
Kurt opened the envelope that Dave handed Kurt; he realized that this was probably all of Dave's pay for the week and kindly thanked Dave. Dave blushed again went to say something before thinking better of it. Before either could speak Ana came bundling out of the truck dressed in brown leggings, her pink boots and a white jacket with a rainbow beanie, gloves and scarf.
"Hi Kurt" She smiles as she bounds up to Dave and Kurt.
"I thought I said to wait in the car Kiddo?"
"Kurt me and Uncle Davey are going skating, want to come? Its great fun! Uncle Davey helps me practice for my figure lesson then I help Uncle Davey run laps. We get hot chocolate afterwards and sing songs the whole way home?"
"Ana little one, Kurt is probably busy and can't come to the rink with us but it was very nice of you to come" Kurt swore Dave's neck was once again red and his cheeks looked like they were gaining colour.
Suddenly Kurt answered and surprised not only himself but Dave as well.
"I would love to come Ana, just let me shut up the garage"
Ana danced with happiness, Dave kept quite and all 3 of them walked out of the garage and after Kurt locked up he climbed into the passenger seat of Dave's truck while Dave checked Ana was properly strapped in.
Ana chatted the whole way to the rink and Dave would answer her, or laugh or tell her she was crazy.
They parked and Dave pulled 2 pairs of skates from the back of the truck slinging them over his shoulder and taking Ana's hand walked her into the rink. Kurt walked on Ana's other side and chatted back to Ana as she explained that she was doing to be a figure skater when she grew up.
Kurt wandered over and got a pair of skates then quietly sat down next to Ana and watched Dave checked Ana's skates. Dave was standing and had his skates already on.
"Remember Ana, most injuries on the ice are from?"
"Skates not properly maintained or done up, Uncle Davey, check Kurt's skates too"
Dave turned to look at Kurt's skates and sighed before gently picking up Kurt's foot.
"You've laced them wrong Kurt" And not looking at Kurt's eyes went about relacing Kurt's boot before swapping shoes and repeating the process. Ana shuffled over the ice looking over her shoulder at a wobbly Kurt came back and took his hand
"Don't worry Kurt, Uncle Davey is a great skater, he's a hockey player and he won't let you hurt yourself"
Ana slide onto the ice and took off; Kurt followed a little more cautiously but followed none the less. Ana zipped around Kurt laughing and spinning around. Kurt looked over at the benches and secretly watched as Dave removed his jacket and scarf, leaving only a black long-sleeved t-shirt that he pushed up to the elbows and Kurt realized that his remark about Dave being chubby was a little off the mark. Dave was solidly built but without this letterman jacket Kurt saw that Dave was all muscle and broadness, Broad shoulders, broad across the chest and strong wide thighs that moved Dave very smoothly across the ice to them, being somewhat powerful and graceful at the same time.
Ana came up besides Dave and held her arms up, Dave laughed and spun Ana around a few times.
Ana danced around on her skates, practicing her turns and spins then waiting for an applause or words of encouragement from Dave. Dave skated easily around the rink watching Ana carefully at all times. Kurt happily got steadier on his feet as he went and soon was skating along with Ana.
Ana then stops suddenly and Kurt stopping as well loses balance and falls to the ice on his tailbone with an ungraceful 'oomph'
Ana apologizes and Kurt looks up to see Dave offering a hand to help him up. Kurt takes the offered hand Dave easily pulls Kurt upright as if he weighs nothing at all.
An Ana look at Dave and at Kurt then says that its Dave's turn to practice now and Dave laughs before finally releasing Kurt's hand that he forgot he was holding. Ana skated over to the end of the end of the rink and Dave stopped. Kurt stopped next to him and Ana counted down from 5.
"5….4…..3…..2….1…GO" Dave and Ana took off as quickly as they could. Dave quickly lapped Ana and moving faster that Kurt had seen he quickly lapped her repeatedly. Ana would laugh loudly as Dave passed her each time and after a good 5 minutes of these laps Ana came to a stop in the centre of the rink and held up her arms. Dave turned around and seeing Ana standing still skated quickly towards her. Kurt thought for one horrible moment that Dave was going to collide right into Ana with of course he was. He bent down easily and scooped up Ana as he continued and moving ever gracefully spun around a few times after placing Ana on his shoulders. Ana squealed loudly and excitedly before Dave came up to Kurt with Ana still on his shoulders and came to a stop. Ana slide down Dave's back with Dave holding her hands and wrapped her arms around Dave's legs.
"We have to get back kiddo, go order the hot chocolates" Ana raced off eager not to miss out of her hot chocolate and Dave turned to Kurt.
"Thanks for coming, she really seems to like you and she probably gets sick of just being around me"
"I doubt it Dave, She clearly adores you!"
Dave laughed slowly, clearly not believing Kurt.
"No I mean it Karofsky, Jessicka and Ana really adore you this you is so sweet and kind. I quite like this Dave Karofsky"
Dave stumbled slightly on his skates as he walked off the ice and Kurt knew it hasn't because Dave tripped. Kurt smiled sweetly at Dave and Dave looked everywhere but at Kurt while the blush crept up his neck and over his cheeks. Dave quickly sat down and removed his skates. Kurt sat down next to Dave and started unlacing his own boots. Dave removed his thick socks as Ana yelled over to them both.
"Uncle Davey there ready!" Dave stood up and still barefoot walked over to Ana at the coffee stand, pulled some money out of his back pocket and walked back to the bench that Kurt was still sitting at though now fully dressed in his boots and scarf. Dave sat down next to Kurt, handing him a large hot chocolate. Dave then pulled the lid of a small hot chocolate and after blowing gently on it handed it to Ana softly telling her
"It's still hot Ana so blow on it a bit more"
Ana holds the cup in both of her little hands and filling up her cheeks until she looked like a chipmunk blows, splattering Dave in hot chocolate. The hot beverage hit Dave on his left side, just below his belly button and towards his hip. Dave sharply inhaled and takes a step back. Ana's eye swell up and quickly starts crying telling 'Uncle Davey Bear' how sorry she was. Dave steps back and pick Ana up, allowing her to wrap her arms around his neck and tell her calmly
"Its okay Сладкий Ребенка, It wasn't even hot, it's fine, I'm fine, now stop all that crying and finishes that hot chocolate"
Ana's sobs subside and she unwraps herself around Dave's neck. Dave pulls out the duffle bag he brought in with them, he pulls out a sweater and while still talking to Ana that he really was okay, pulled the chocolate coloured stain top quickly over his head. Kurt got a really good look of his broad shoulders and chest with a small amount of curly chest hair that crept down in stomach which was flatter than Kurt had given Dave credit for and watching as the dark hair kept creeping down pass his belly button and under the band of his jeans. Turning to the side and starting to pull the replacement sweater over his head, Kurt saw a muscled back and shoulders before Dave pulled the sweater down and turning back stopped dead as he looked at Kurt who was still looking happily at Dave's fine ass. Kurt smiled sweetly and Dave's eyes met Kurt's. Kurt saw in Dave's hazel eyes happiness and desire. Dave turned back to Ana and seeing her empty cup, held out his hand and asked if everyone was ready to go.
Settleing Ana into her seat Dave and Kurt climbing into the truck and Dave started them on the drive home. After 5 minutes of eerie quiet Dave looked into the revision mirror and his sudden laughter caused Kurt to looked at him quizzically. He pointed to the rear vision mirror in which Kurt saw Ana fast asleep.
After several more quiet minutes Kurt finally asked the question that had been bothering him for the last few days.
"Karofsky why are you different at school than now?"
"Kurt… I don't think we should talk to about this and it's Dave"
"Dave?"
"Ahh yeah You've never call me Dave"
"Do you want me to call you Dave"
"Well yeah, Its my name"
"Okay Dave, why are you different at school and here"
" Kurt my Dad died when I was barely 5 but he was a hockey coach and Mom remarried 2 years after that to this asshole. When Mom kicked me out of the house I went to live with my sister"
"Why did she kick you out?"
Dave sighed heavily but continued
"They found on my computer some images they didn't like"
"Like what? You were 13, Jess told me that, I mean all 13 year old boys look at porn"
"It wasn't porn that bothered her it was the fact it was of men with other men"
"She kicked you out for looking at gay porn?"
"Yep"
"You knew from 13 that you were gay?"
"No, I just liked that I saw and didn't know what that meant, it was Jessicka that told me it was called being homosexual and that it was okay, but it wasn't okay. I wanted to Mom to be proud of me like she use to be of my Dad so I joined the hockey team and as time went on, Jessicka getting pregnant and having Ana, Mom leaving town without telling us I felt like I had to help Jessicka and get all 3 of us out of this shitty town. The only was I could do that was my hockey. I need the scholarship, I need to find a place where being gay isn't the end of the world but I would of gotten kicked off the team, bullied and harassed if I let on. And I need this too bad to let some homophobic small town losers ruining my chance to get a better life for Jessicka and Ana. Once I get us somewhere new I can be me, the real me not the McKinley High me. You aren't the only kid in school that is a pretty good actor Kurt"
The car came to a stop and and Kurt realized that they were back outside his Dad's garage.
"Dave… I.."
"Don't Kurt, don't feel sorry for me, god I made for life hell for years and seeing my life as the pathetic piece of crap you feel like me know. You don't like me Kurt, I kissed you and you looked like a had killed your puppy"
"I didn't know you were gay!"
"Of course not Kurt that was the point! I played the dumb jock I needed to be to survive school and keep people away. I liked you since I first met you dam it! I pushed you, threw you into dumpsters and giving you slushie facials but I only pushed you enough so it looked bad and I threw you into the dumpsters on the days it was full to help with the fall. The dam slushies was always the same colour as your shirt you were wearing. By picking on you I got to see you every day and touch you and yes it's fucked up but I have acted this part for too long to have it come apart now"
"So this scholarship you want, where is it?" Kurt gently asks
"Anywhere but here, I've been short listed for a few different colleges Boston, Denver and Chicago but I have to get the grades they want and impress them with the final game of the season which is next week. Next week 4 college scouts are coming here and if I don't blitz that game I'm fucked"
"Wow Dave"
"Yeah I know everyone thinks I'm dumber than I really am"
"That not what I meant Dave, I hate that there is so much pressure on you"
"Pressure I can handle, I hated my self for watching JEssicka fall in love with that jackass and think he loved her back in high school, he got himself a scholarship and pissed off to San Francisco! Left Jessicka 8 months pregnant and with nothing! I hate seeing Ana in second hand clothes and not being able to give her the singing lessons she's been asking for since I could remember. I hate that! I hate that Mom re married so soon after Dad died and didn't love me enough to understand me, I hate that she left town and abandoned her children when we needed her. That's what I hate. I've spoken to the Colleges and they know I am gay and they are willing to work in me regardless and they are know Jessicka and Ana are coming too. I just have to finish these last few weeks at school and I'm free"
"Dave, I…"
"Please don't Kurt" With such pain in Dave's voice Kurt didn't push the topic and slowly getting out of the car Kurt almost had the car door closed when he asked
"What night is the game?"
"Friday night, why?"
"I'll be there cheering you on Dave"
Kurt shut the door and the pick up truck rolled away.
