Title: Pools of Sorrow, Waves of Joy
Author: lovesmymovement on lj/wanderlustlights on tumblr
Rating: NC-17 (eventually)
Word Count: 348/2422 (so far)
Pairing(s): Dave/Kurt {Kurtofsky}
Spoilers: Anything up through episode 2.06 Never Been Kissed, I guess, although this is an AU so instead of Dave being the bully it's a different character, Scott Cooper, instead.
Disclaimer: I don't own Glee. Tis Ryan Murphy's brain child and I taken ownership of nothing there.
Summary: Kurt has been bullied for as long as he could remember. Finding solace in a place like Dalton Academy and with a roommate like David Karofsky is not exactly how he expected his life to go.
A/N: So I started this fic a few months ago as a fill for a prompt on the glee_kink_meme. It's sort of slow going so far but I'm hoping to finish it sometime soon, haha. Also, the title comes from The Beatles' "Across the Universe." Hope you enjoy, dear readers!

Dave watched in concern as Kurt stormed about the room in a rage, throwing things around and muttering to himself lowly.
"Are you…" he started and Kurt turned to him on a pivot, mouth set in a frown. Dave gulped. "Are you okay?"
"No, I am not okay," Kurt replied with a huff and Dave nearly winced at the tone of voice.
"What, uh, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? You want to know what's wrong? Blaine likes someone else. That's what's wrong."
Dave resisted rolling his eyes. He'd heard Kurt talk about Blaine nonstop for the past two months and to be honest, it was getting old. Dave had only just come to terms with just what, exactly, his sexuality was. That alone was hard enough by itself. Realizing he liked his own roommate and hearing said roommate talk about someone else constantly was a whole other story. Just hearing Blaine's name grated on Dave's nerves now like none other. "Right," he finally said and turned back to his science homework.
"This is serious, Dave," Kurt responded, stressing the words so much that it sounded like he was speaking to a child. Dave looked up in annoyance and fixed the other boy with a steely glare.
"It's not fucking serious, dude," replied Dave, slamming the chemistry book shut, causing the sound to echo throughout the room, and stood from the bed. "And you know what? Maybe if you'd pull your head out of your ass for one fucking second then you'd see that Blaine isn't the only available guy out there. There's about a million others and not all of them are as goddamn stupid as Blaine fucking Anderson." That said, Dave bolted from Kurt's sight to shut the bathroom door behind him.
Dave looked at himself in the mirror for a long moment before shaking his head and turning on the warm water and splashing his face with it in frustration.
When he came out of the bathroom, Kurt was gone, as were his book bag and keys. Dave sighed. He could only guess where he'd disappeared to.
