So here we go with this weeks prompt: Most memorable moment with your best friend.
This story takes place around 5 years after McKinley High graduation.
Hope you enjoy it ;-)
David Karofsky sat down at the bar counter and drank eagerly from the glass of foaming beer in front of him. He let the relaxing effect of the liquid spread through his body. It had been a long week and with Joey out of town the weekend wouldn't be as much fun as it used to be.
David smiled. He had gotten so use to have somebody special in his life, that it was hard to be apart. But this weekend he had to live without. He had planned to just hang out here a couple of hours and then go home and prepare for the game this upcoming Sunday.
He was already getting lost in strategic planning, when he suddenly heard a voice he would have recognized anywhere.
He turned around and saw Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson enter the bar heading for a table. David reached them just as they were sitting down.
"Kurt, I knew it had to be you!" David said with a laugh.
Kurt looked at him with some confusion and then lit up in a big smile as he jumped up and gave his friend a bear hug. "Oh my God Dave, is it really you?" Kurt turned to Blaine who stood up as well smiling from ear to ear. "Wow, it's so good to see you again," Kurt panted. "Sit down."
The three guys got as comfortable as they could on the hard wood stoles and Kurt and Blaine ordered something to drink as well.
"So what are you guys doing in Lima big city?" David asked.
"Oh just visiting our families," Blaine answered, "and walking down memory lane, it's so weird every time we come back here."
"But it must be pretty boring compared to New York I imagine."
Kurt shrugged, "New York is New York, and we love living there, but sometimes it's blissful to get the pace down and relax a bit."
Blaine nodded in agreement and looked curious at David, "I would never have thought you would stick around here in Lima after all the bad stuff happening."
"It wasn't my intension either, but then I was offered a job as football coach on a public high school and it's the best thing I've ever done."
Kurt gave Blaine a nervous stare. "So the students and the parents are okay with a gay coach?"
David took a sip of his beer, "Not at first, they were scared that I would rub off on their boys, but the Principal stood strong and when the team suddenly started winning, after losing for years, the protests somehow stopped. Now it's our competitors parents that gives me a hard time."
The boys laughed, and the way Kurt just beamed by the reunion meant the world to David.
They kept talking for a couple of hours remembering the hardships as well as the victories. What Kurt had meant for David in the struggles of his life was beyond anything else, and because of that they would always be connected.
The bar became more crowded and the music got louder as people started to dance.
David got an idea and knew that he had to follow it through, so he braved up. "Kurt, I do believe I owe you a dance."
Kurt met his eyes and David saw nothing but respect. "Yes you do owe me that," he said, "but you don't have to do it here."
"But I want to, and I come here all the time with my boyfriend." David said and turned to Blaine, "Is it okay with you?"
Blaine smiled, "Just go ahead, I got the first dance remember."
Then David got up and stretched out his hand to Kurt. "May I have this dance?"
Kurt took his hand and answered: "Yes, yes you may."
