Chapter 3
Liam Clarke- Thank you so much! I was really touched by your review, hopefully you continue to enjoy the story.
Onyx Nailo- Writing Sammy as protective of Kurt is like candy to me, I'm glad it made you smile.
I do not own Glee.
It was the start of another week at McKinley, and Sam and Kurt were out to the school as a couple, after their altercation with the jocks last week.
Sam and Kurt were walking hand in hand to the cafeteria, after getting lunch, they walked to the Glee table. Seeing as the Gleeks had a lot of their own problems, they were the only ones who didn't know of Kurt and Sam's relationship. Finn was the first to notice, his eyes zeroed in on their clasped hands and promptly raised his eyebrows, "When did that happen?" Sam smiled coyly, "A while ago." However, there was something about Finn's tone that had an edge to it that irked Sam, he raised their clasped hands, "Is there a problem, Finn?" Finn backpedalled, "Uh, no, of course not. It's just should you be so public about it? It mightn't go down well with some people." Sam raised his eyebrows, "Like you?"
It was at that very moment Rachel cut in, "What my slightly tongue tied boyfriend is trying to say is that he is worried for your safety, and some people can be very extreme in their condemnation of gay people, he wouldn't want you to get hurt. Being the product of a very loving LGBT relationship and having two dads, I can empathize with the homophobia and slurs." Apart from that little blip, the rest of the club congratulated them and wished them well.
It was time for classes to begin again and Sam and Kurt had geography together, Sam was at Kurt's locker, he was a bit nervous, he wanted to ask Kurt something but didn't know how to broach the topic with the countertenor. "Hey Kurt? We've been together for a while now, and I was wondering, wouldyougooutonadatewithme?" Kurt smiled wryly, "Sorry, didn't catch that." Sam groaned, "Would you like to go out on a date with me?" he exaggerated the enunciation of each word to poke fun at Kurt. "Samuel Evans! Of course I will!" Kurt gave Sam a searing kiss in the middle of the hall, it was like no one else existed.
...
It seemed homophobia came at them from every direction, even teachers, Sam could now see where half the kids in Lima got their homophobia from, adults, parents, teachers, they were supposed to be role models, pillars of society moulding the future generations, they were doing that, alright, moulding them into homophobic hatemongers.
Kurt and Sam were whispering to each other while the teacher gave his lecture, Kurt was trying to get Sam to tell him about their date but Sam was not giving in, "Kurt, that's half the fun, you'll just have to wait, it'll be special, just like you.. Now stop asking me-". "Gentlemen, I hate to be interrupting your faggy gossiping session about how you'll be giving it up to each other tonight, but I have a class to teach." Kurt was furious, and Sam could see that very thought etched on Sam's face, but he didn't want any trouble. Sam got up out of his seat, Kurt pulled on the sleeve of his Ralph Lauren jumper, "Baby, please don't, he's not worth it." Sam looked at Kurt, "I know, but seeing how he has affected you, I will not let him get away with that," he stroked Kurt's cheek lovingly. He walked up to the teacher, "Excuse me? Look I understand that you're stuck teaching in this hellhole where half of the students won't go to college and end up managing the local Walmart, but do not use your resentment for how your life turned out as an excuse to be a homophobe and an asshole. How dare you talk to and utterly demean and embarrass my boyfriend and I. Not everyone is out like Kurt and myself, but there could be a number of gay boys and lesbians in each of your classes, and when they have low self esteem as is, and hear you talking like that, and they decide that the world is better off without them and they take their lives, that's blood on your hands. Come on Kurtie, let's go."
...
"Sam, I don't know what to say, I am so touched, that you defended my honour, did I mention, it's really sexy?"
"No problem baby, it's my job, I can't stand to see you be upset by the likes of him. Anyway, you've still got our date to look forward to."
Kurt smiled, "I am very excited, but first, you've got to meet Burt Hummel".
Kurt was still laughing internally at the thought of his boy meeting other man in his life, he didn't even berate Sam for calling him Kurtie.
