Chapter 5 Part 2

Dave

Santana had told me that Kurt and Blaine were over and though knowing Kurt would be in pain from the breakup I could not stop myself from feeling happy. I had always liked Kurt more than I should have, and with accepting me more and more every day I could deny that I might be falling in I guess what people consider love with him.

There were times when he would look at me too as though wondering the same thing. I knew that any way to Kurt's heart would be a song, and although I hated singing I actually could sing. It would be my first time singing to anyone though. And singing a love song? I whistled to myself. What had I become? Sick in love I groaned. It was third period right before lunch and I had practiced my song for Kurt a million times the night before in my shower.

I hoped he wouldn't think it came out of nowhere. Over the last weeks being a Bully whip for Kurt had allowed him to see my softer side, and I think he already knew I liked him if he was remembering back to the kiss in the locker room. But I wanted to show Kurt that it was more than attraction. I had seen Kurt for who he was, and I wanted to be with him. I wanted to protect him from all the bad in the world, and I wanted to help him continue to push the boundaries of McKinley High. Hell I was strong enough to crack any ignorant kid's skull.

Santana telling me that she had accepted herself for Brittany really hit home for me and I wanted that. I wanted what they had.

The bell rang and walked to Kurt's class to escort him lunch. Kurt was talking to the black girl, Mercedes in his English class still. See I had tried and learned the names to his Glee friends I thought as I waited. He finally hugged her and walked to meet me.

"Hi." I said.

"Hi." He replied in his gentle tone. "Ready for lunch?" I asked him softly.

He nodded. It was now or never.

"Kurt…" I started. He stopped walking and turned back to me. "Kurt I need to say something to you."

He rearranged his messenger bag as I continued.

"These last past weeks I feel like we've become closer. I've tried to show you the nicer side of me and how sorry I was to have rejected that dance"

"I know..." Kurt said smiling slightly. "It's been really nice. Getting to know this side." He finished gesturing at me.

Butterflies erupted in my stomach and I almost smirked but I wasn't done.

"Kurt-" I said so soft he had to lean in slightly. "I think I'm ready." He raised his eyebrows not quite sure what I was saying.

"I'm ready to come out Kurt, and it's because of you."

He gasped and clapped his hands excitedly.

"After everything we've been through and all the times you've forgiven me for everything- it's really made an impact on me. And…and…I think I'm in love with…" I looked straight into his eyes, "-with you."

There was a pause. He did not move. And neither did I.

"Actually…" I said roughly using the time that he was not moving.

"I don't think. I know. I love you Kurt, more than I love my rep at this stupid school. And I just need you to know that before school is over. If I hadn't told you I would have regretted it." I looked away from him because his silence was making my lips tremble.

"I…I... He started. My eyes flicked back to his and I gently touched his shoulder thankful that he did not flinch.

"This might be a better way to tell you."

I backed up slightly and took a breath. "Wondering the streets, in a world underneath it all…" I gulped scratching my head. "Nothing seems to be, nothing tastes as sweet I smiled sadly. "As what I can't have…"

I pointed at him my voice picking up speed, "Like you and the way that you're twisting your hair, round your finger," I dipped my head slowly not breaking my stare. "Tonight I'm not afraid to tell you… what I feel about you." He looked puzzled.

"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have," I grabbed both his hands, "and cannon ball into the water,"

He gasped looking around. I ignored the stares. "I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have," he tried not to smile.

"For you I will. For you I will I said earnestly.

"Forgive me if I st..stutter… From all of the clutter in my head," I mumbled. "Cause I could fall asleep in those eyes," I whispered, "Like a water bed."

"Do I seem familiar?" I questioned. "I've crossed you in hallways a thousand times," I shook my head, "No more camouflage, I want to be exposed, and not be afraid to fall."

I grabbed him again and he let out a yelp as I held his small body against mine, "I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have," I said softly, "and cannon ball into the water,"

I let him go and he took a step back in shock. "I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have, I pointed again at him "For you I will.

I looked away, "You always want what you can't have, but I've got to try. I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have." His face changed from shock to understanding.

"For you I will, for you I will, for you I will…" He walked close to me and brought his hand up to my shoulder. I looked down at him. "For you…" I murmured carefully.

"If I could dim the lights in the mall," I sang gesturing around me. "And create a mood I would." I backed up quickly and raised my arms.

"Shout out your name so it echoes in every room," I shouted laughing, "I would."

"That's what I'd do, I told him, that's what I'd do to get through to you…" I walked up quickly to him and pushed him up against the wall softly. "I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have and cannon ball into the water…" My face was an inch from his and my words went into his ear. "I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,"

"For you I will." His face did not show any sign of fear.

"You always want what you can't have," I told him, "But I've got to try." His body relaxed in mine and he grabbed my letter jacket.

"I'm gonna muster every ounce of confidence I have,"

"For you I will…" I finished softly the bell had long run and there were no more students looking at us.

"I don't know what to say." He said gasping. "That was beautiful and I didn't know you could sing." I saw tears in his blue eyes.

"I knew that was the only way to get to you." I replied looking at him heart swelling.

He did not say anything as he turned back to face forward. And for while we stood in the hallway. Then he turned to face me. He didn't say anything just slipped his smaller hand in mine and together we took a step.
