A/N: First: You've probably noticed, but I've changed my Pen-Name. I was called Darcey-Jess, but I am now Sweet-Porcelain16. :)
Sorry for the wait! I'm just going to say, as a warning, there is some gay-bashing by Azimo in this chapter. I honestly think it's the hardest thing I've ever had to write, the 'F-word'... just... *shudder*
-Darcey
"Porcelain, because I like you, I'll give you the option to remain anonymous. I'll blur out your face in the pictures, and make sure your name is edited out of the finished paper. When the video goes up onto the Muckraker website, I'll make your voice unrecogniasble, blur your face, and, again, edit out your name. Karofsky, because I don't like you, I'm going to use your name as much as possible. And mention several times that the person who you just kissed is male. Therefore making you gay." Dave stared at his hands. How the hell had Azimo, Santana and Sue managed to be here at the same time - let alone know to have brought video cameras, paper and other recording equipment? Kurt spoke up first.
"Miss Sylvester. I don't want to be anonymous. People can know it's me, as long as that's okay with Dave." Dave blinked,but nodded quickly. He admired Kurt's bravery, and if he was going to be outed, then at least he wouldn't want to have to keep Kurt a secret.
"How did you know?"
Sue smirked. "Ah, I was told to come by Sandbags over here, who apparantly was told by Azimo."
Azimo glared at Dave and Kurt before continuing. "Hummel's little note fell out of Karofsky's locker. I read it, and put it back in, like nothing had happened. Of couse I was going to follow you two fags to see what was going on. And then I watched you and Lopez arguing. So I decided to recruit her. She got in touch with the Muckraker. Miss Sylvester came on behalf of them." Both Dave and Kurt's eyes widened in shock.
"So, Closet-Case, Porcelain, you're heartwrenching tale will be known to all by tomorrow. You see, we're launching a special issue of the Muckraker in this outstanding story's honour." Sue smirked again and left, Azimo and Santana in tow.

Dave couldn't breathe. The air seemed to block in his throat, and his heart was beating at a hundred miles an hour. He felt like he'd just run a marathon, not walked the short distance between the front door and the sitting room.
"Dad?" his voice was barely above a whisper, but his father heard him.
"In here, son." Dave shuffled his feet into the living room, where his father sat on the sofa. He'd never been so nervous in all his life; not when he'd tried out for the football team, or even when Kurt had mentioned to Sue that Dave had threatened to kill him. His fear clearly showed on his face, for his father stood up, and pulled him into a hug. Hope rose in his chest - maybe, just maybe, things would be okay.
"Dad… I… I need to tell you something." Dave's voice wakered, cracking under pressure. Tears spilled out of his eyes, and his next words, the bravest he'd ever said, seemed lodged in his throat.
"I-I'm gay." There was silence. But Paul didn't let go of his son, and Dave clung to his father, sobbing until there were no tears left. Not until Dave had finished crying did Paul speak.
"David, thank you for telling me." Dave looked up, into his fathers eyes, but still didn't let go of him. He didn't know what to say. He'd just said the hardest two words of his life, and now, he was just glad to have someone hug him and tell him it was all going to be okay.

"I love you, David, and your sexuality won't change that." Paul added as Dave pulled away. He was so, so glad that his dad didn't mind. But he was also confused.
"Dad..." Dave began, sitting slowly down onto the sofa. His father followed suit, lowering himself into the space next to Dave, and putting his arm around his son. "You're so... So calm. And, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining! The opposite, in fact. I just don't understand." Paul sighed,
"I guess I've just had a while to get used to the idea." Dave looked at his father, confusion clear in his features. "After all, there aren't many girls called Kurt,"
"What?"
"Kurt. You like him, right?"
"Dad, I- Yes. I love him."
"Mm. You've been muttering his name in your sleep for a long time. And that song..." Dave flushed bright red.
"I have? And you heard that?" He stuttered, embarassment clear in his voice.
"Yeah. The song was beautiful, by the way. You have a gift, David. Use it. Join the Glee Club or whatever. Put your gift to good use." Dave nodded solemnly, before biting his lip.
"Dad, I... I need some advice."
"Anything, son. What you told me was so brave, especially after how you treated that Kurt kid... Wait... Is this the same Kurt?" Dave didn't even have to ask what his father meant.
"Yeah. I thought it was his fault. That it was him who'd made me gay. But... I love him. And it wasn't fair, how I treated him." Paul nodded, and added,
"He is very attractive," Paul winked. Dave just rolled his eyes.
"Duh. And nice! Despite what I did to him, he forgave me. Even though I threatened to kill him, he'll still kiss me..."
"So he's your boyfriend now?"
"I don't know, Dad. He's got a boyfriend... But he told me he loves me. It's so confusing! " Dave groaned, and stood up. "I'm going to get some sleep now. Night, Dad. I love you."
"I love you too, son."

Once again, Dave had the urge to smash something. Anything, as long as it took away his pain. But years of experience taught him that smashing stuff did nothing; nothing to ease his hurt.
Nothing did.
A smirking Sue had dropped off that mornings copy of the Muckraker at his house just a second ago. His story was, as promiced, front page news.
DAVE KAROFSKY HAS A SECRET
Just yesterday, one of our reporters came across an interesting note. It had been placed, by Kurt Hummel, in David Karofsky's locker, but had fallen out. The note asked David to meet Kurt in the locker rooms after school. After reading the note, Azimo Adams placed it back into Dave's locker, where he found it not long after.
Of course, we were at the locker rooms before either Kurt or Dave arrived. Apon Dave's arrival, the boys began discussing Dave's secret - That he is actually gay. (To watch the full conversation as recorded by Santana Lopez, visit our website; .com/muckraker/artlicle/dave/karofsky/has/a/secret/video)
The entire conversation was written, exactly as they'd said it. Everything.
However, the most surprising news of all came after the conversation was over. Kurt and Dave shared a passionate kiss in the locker room!
There was more; a lot more, but Dave wasn't going to read it, or look at the picture placed underneath the title, or 'visit the website for the video/pictures of the kiss'. All he wanted to do was hide. To get back into bed and not come out. But he had to go to school. Dave Karofsky wasn't a chicken.

A/N: So. Review. I'll love you forever if you do. :) The next chapter will be a lot worse with the gay-bashing. I hate to write it, but there are people in the world who believe ridiculous things, and I need to make this realistic. As much as I'd love a completely open minded school, I doubt there even is one. Except Dalton. :) Anyways, review, pleaseee? xx
