Thanks to everybody that has put this story in their favs or alerts. It really does make me feel good to know that people like this story. Sorry about the slight delay in posting. I don't want to make you guys wait too long ;)

Also, I don't own Glee or the characters.

Kurt spent the following weeks getting settled in at Dalton. He didn't have as easy a time keeping up with the school work as he'd hoped to have, but he did have a group of new friends that had no trouble helping him to study.

"Kurt, where are you running off to now?" Amelia asked as she managed to catch a rare glimpse of her grandson.

"I'm going over to David's house. He's going to help me study for my Chemistry midterm and I'm going to help him get ready for French."

Amelia nodded. "That's fine then. Just don't be out too late…you do have tests tomorrow. Nothing will prepare you more than a good night's sleep."

"I will," he called out as he was pulling the door shut behind him. David's house wasn't that far from his own, so he decided to just walk. No reason to disturb Frank just to go seven blocks.

As he was walking, he took the time to think about how much he'd been home in the past few weeks. Not much. I'm going to have to make that up to her. She's been so nice…letting me come and live with her. I can't just keep running out on her. He rang the buzzer outside David's building and waited.

"Hello?" The fuzzy voice didn't sound like David's.

"Um…I'm here to see David…I have the right place, right?"

"Yes, you do." Kurt heard the door buzz open. "Come on up."

Kurt knocked on the door of apartment 7F.

"Hold on, I'm coming."

When the door was thrown open, Kurt looked down to see a little girl about 12 standing there. "Who are you?"

Kurt almost said something about her rude tone, but it wasn't his place so he kept his tongue. "I'm Kurt. I'm here to see David. Is he here?"

The little girl didn't reply she just walked away from the door. He hoped that was an invitation to come in. He had just shut the door behind him when David came barreling down the hallway.

"Kurt, I'm so glad you're here! I can't do this! French is stupid and I'm never going to live there so I shouldn't have to learn this shit!"

Kurt couldn't help but to giggle at David's antics. This was completely the opposite of how he portrayed himself at school. There he was so rigid and quiet. Kurt definitely preferred the outside version of David better.

"Okay, calm down. We're going to get you through this. I'm aces at French…that's why I'm here."

David nodded then grabbed Kurt by the arm and pulled him into his bedroom. Kurt took a moment to look around at the decorations. They were very typical teenage boy. He didn't have long to look though because David was pushing him down onto the floor in front of a coffee table overrun with books. Between Chemistry and French, they didn't move for hours.

David was on his second snack run to the kitchen when Kurt noticed his guitar sitting on a stand in the corner. He got up and walked over to it. It's a really nice one. It kind of reminds me of Puck's guitar. He ran a delicate hand over the strings, listening to the light twang sound they made.

"Do you know how to play?"

Kurt nearly jumped. "Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry," David replied with a laugh.

"Really…cause you don't sound remotely sorry."

David just shrugged. "You didn't answer my question."

Kurt moved back to the table and sat down. "No, I don't. One of the glee guys started trying to teach me, but then he went to juvie so…"

David's eyebrows flew up his forehead. "Your glee club takes all kinds doesn't it?"

Kurt thought about them with a smile. "Yeah. We were about as ragtag as you could get, but we were like a family."

"You miss them."

Kurt didn't answer back because it didn't sound like a question.

David rubbed the back of his neck to get the cricks out of it. "I could pick up where he left off if you wanted to try again."

Kurt looked up from his notes in surprise. "You would do that for me?"

Kurt could hear the exasperation in David's voice, "Of course I would, man. We're friends. That's what we do."

Kurt nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah, I would love that."

David pushed up from the table and walked over to get his guitar.

"Oh, are we going to start now? I guess we're done studying then." Kurt closed his Chemistry notes and pushed them away.

David gestured for him to sit on the table. When Kurt was settled he put the guitar in position and fit Kurt hands around it the right way. "Okay, how far did he get in teaching you?"

"Um…just a couple of chords and how to strum and stuff."

"Okay. Just play for me the chords you remember. Call them out as you play them."

Sorry it's a little on the small side...

I hope you enjoyed it. Please review :)
