Kurt felt like his entire world has just ended and he couldn't let Dave go. Even if he wanted to just let his heart have a break, he would never be okay with not knowing what being mutually in love with David would be like. He owed more to himself and to David than that.

He got up and grabbed his keys and threw his door open. David was sitting against the wall openly crying into his legs.

Kurt sighed in relief and sank down beside him.

"I'm sorry, David. I changed my mind."

Dave looked up at him with tear stained cheeks and red puffy eyes,

"Are you serious? Don't fucking toy with me, Kurt, please."

"I'm not. I can't say no. I cannot do it. I am beyond terrified that you are going to crush me and leave me bleeding like always, but I have to know, just once what it's like to actually love you and have you love me back at the same time. I have to."

Dave sighed and dropped his head back against the wall. They both sat against the wall and sat in silent relief. The awkwardness and tension was gone. What was left was a different sort of energy. Dave finally turned his head to look at Kurt. Kurt smiled at him and then Dave was leaning over and kissing him for the first time in years.

Kurt felt himself relax into it, almost as if his heart was finally resting. He grabbed Dave's hands and broke the kiss.

He got up and helped Dave up after him. They walked back into Kurt's apartment.

Dave looked shy almost timid when they sat back down.

Kurt chuckled and moved quickly to sit closer to Dave.

He so wanted to make love to David, but he wanted to take it slow and actually savor developing a real relationship with him.

Dave sat stiff as a board as he waited for Kurt to say something. Kurt just smiled and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie. Dave sighed in relief and agreed.

Kurt chose a superhero movie, since Finn had gotten him into them in high school. They sat in silence as they watched an X-Men movie. He made it through a half hour of the movie, before he couldn't take it anymore. He launched himself at Dave and found himself on his back making out with Dave. Dave was gentle with him and held him close as they kissed slowly and sweetly. Kurt finally sat up and put his face in the crook of Dave's neck and chuckled softly to himself.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I'm just so happy right now and I feel like an idiot making out with you like a horny teenager."

"We've wasted like five years, I think we get a pass on that."

"Thank you, David."

David sat back and tipped Kurt's face back,

"For what, Fancy?"

"For not giving up on us and for not pressuring me and for loving me, even though I can be a pain in the ass."

Dave laughed a deep, hearty laugh at that,

"Shouldn't I be thanking you for taking me back and be willing to give me another shot?"

"Maybe, but I really do want to thank you."

"Kurt loving you is actually pretty easy. You are without a doubt a pain in my ass, but I've never not once not loved you or wanted you. You are amazing and I am lucky that you said yes for another chance."

Kurt and Dave came together in a kiss that Kurt hoped would display everything he was feeling for Dave. He didn't want to rush things, so sex and I love yous were off the table, but kissing, that was most definitely on.

The rest of the film Kurt and Dave spent cuddled together eating popcorn and providing commentary. Kurt said goodnight to Dave an hour after the movie ended, because they both kept going in for kisses and prolonging the goodbyes.

Kurt was so happy he turned on his favorite pop music and danced. Rachel called him an hour later demanding to know what happened.

Kurt pretended like he had no idea what she was referring to until she threatened to come over and make him eat her vegan cookies.

Rachel finally got him to open up and Kurt explained everything that David had said.

Rachel sighed and Kurt asked her what was wrong.

"David didn't leave Jamie, Kurt. They are very much still together. He might be planning to know after what happened with you two tonight, but Jamie is planning to move here."

"Stop it, Rachel."

"I'm not lying, I swear. I had a long conversation with David today about how he had to start treating you better and that it wasn't okay for him to treat you badly because he wasn't happy in his relationship with Jamie and that it wasn't your fault."

"So you're telling me that Dave lied to me and is still using me because of his failing relationship?"

"No. I'm not saying that at all. David probably does plan on breaking up with Jamie when he goes back to Chicago in a few days."

"So why would he lie to me?"

"I don't know, Kurt. I honestly don't, but please be careful. Please."
