A week had passed since prom and, surprisingly, not much had changed for Kurt and Dave. Of course, word about their dance together had quickly gotten around to the rest of McKinley High, yet people weren't completely sure as to what it had all meant. At first, some believed that Dave was just trying to be nice because of what had happened last year, while others thought that he had been forced into doing it. Everyone else either didn't care whatsoever or they actually believed that he was with Kurt.

Other than the rest of New Directions, Kurt and Dave had decided to keep to themselves, as the fact that they were now dating wasn't really anybody else's business but their own. It certainly wasn't something that they needed to announce to everyone, which just meant that people could make up their own assumptions, if it was what they chose to do.

Even so, they definitely weren't going to deny the fact that they were together if someone had decided to ask. It was funny, in a way. A few people, that Dave had never even talked to before, were beginning to come up to him, where they were subtly trying to find out the truth... and when they did, they would either become shocked or fascinated to learn that he was gay. Of course, there were the different sets of peoples' reactions that came along with finding out everything.

There were the ones, mainly jocks, who would either say offensive things to Dave or would give him disgusted looks as they passed. And then there were the people who would completely ignore everything, which Dave was completely fine with. But then you also had the many people who were really supportive, which surprised Dave. He had remembered everyone's reaction when Kurt had came back into the gymnasium to accept the Prom Queen title the previous year... and he was glad that there were a lot of those same people still around him who were just as accepting.

Dave had been handling everything so well and, as he had told Kurt, he was focusing on the last few weeks of school. Final tests, Nationals, and graduation were just around the corner... and spending a lot of time with his boyfriend definitely didn't give him any time to let anything or anyone bother him.

Kurt was standing at his opened locker, grabbing a few books and notebooks that he needed for the rest of the school day. He stopped momentarily, where he glanced up towards the small teddy bear that Dave had gotten him for Christmas. He smiled to himself, as he thought back over the past year. Things had changed so much... they had changed for the better, and he was looking forward to finding out what was in store for the future.

Dave walked over and ended up next to Kurt, standing on his right. Kurt looked towards him, where Dave smiled softly, letting his hands slide into both of the pockets of his jeans. Things were still fresh and new between them... and Dave was still in that phase where he couldn't help but smile like a goof whenever he was around Kurt. But as Kurt liked to say, Dave's awkwardness just made him even more adorable.

"Hi," Dave finally said.

Kurt smiled back instantly. "Hi."

"How are you doing?" Dave asked, cocking his head to the side slightly.

"I'm okay," Kurt nodded. "How are you?"

Dave's soft smile changed into more of his goofy grin. "I'm good," he nodded back. After a few moments of glancing over Kurt's face, he shrugged. "I missed you."

Kurt shook his head briefly, laughing lightly at Dave's awkwardness. "I missed you too."

Dave lifted one of his eyebrows up, once Kurt had started to laugh. "What?" he asked dramatically.

"Nothing," Kurt shook his head once again. "You're just... cute, that's all."

"Well, so are you," Dave laughed back. He looked around the hallway momentarily, clearing his throat. "Can I walk you to class?"

"Yes, please," Kurt smiled, closing his locker shut.

They began walking slowly down the hallway next to each other, where Kurt was holding onto the strap of his bag with his left hand, as it was sitting on his left shoulder. After a few moments, he felt Dave's hand touch his right one, where he quickly glanced down, noticing that Dave was trying to hold it. He smiled to himself again, letting his fingers intertwine with Dave's, as they continued walking together. Dave hadn't tried to hold Kurt's hand yet, but Kurt absolutely loved the feeling of it.

A few people with confused or curious looks were glancing their way as they passed, though no one was saying anything. And yet... it seemed as if neither Kurt nor Dave even cared to notice.

"So..." Kurt finally said, after trying to make the butterflies in his stomach go away, "dinner with your parents last night was interesting."

Dave turned his head towards Kurt, where an amused expression came to his face. "Is that the right word to use?"

Kurt laughed, shaking his head. "I'm not sure, actually."

"I thought it was more awkward than interesting," Dave nodded.

Kurt nodded back, though he was still laughing lightly. "I guess you could definitely say that."

"It was nice, though," he continued, smiling back at Dave. "I'm really happy that they seem like they're okay with everything."

"Yeah, me too," Dave replied. "My mom loves you, so that's good," he laughed.

Kurt grinned, shaking his head for a few moments. "I was still laughing at you this morning when I woke up."

Dave huffed in amusement, shaking his own head. "I was nervous, okay? I knock crap over when I'm nervous."

"Yeah... such as entire glasses of water all over the dinner table," Kurt laughed.

Dave shrugged. "At least I didn't spill it all over you."

"Very true," Kurt nodded. "So what was going on after I left?"

Dave's eyes widened, as he took a deep breath. "Um... let's just say that it got even more awkward once you did leave."

A confused expression came to Kurt's face. "Why do you say that?"

Dave just shook his head. "You don't even want to know."

"If I didn't want to know, then why would I ask?" Kurt scoffed.

Dave smiled slightly. "Trust me," he continued to shake his head. "You don't."

"David," Kurt said firmly.

Dave let out a deep breath. "Well... my dad decided to sit me down and have a talk with me, which was kind of like the one that he gave me a few years ago. Only this time, it was a little different and..." he trailed off, becoming red.

Kurt's mouth dropped slightly. "Oh my god," he gazed straight ahead, feeling like he wasn't able to look right back at Dave.

"Yeah," Dave's eyes were still wide.

"Anyways..." Kurt attempted to change the subject.

Dave laughed again. "You said that you wanted to know," he shrugged.

"Okay, well, I was wrong," Kurt nodded. "Moving on..." he laughed lightly.

Kurt looked around the hallway, noticing that more people seemed to be staring at them. He couldn't blame them, really- especially since there hadn't been that many people that knew that they were together and since this was the first time that they had all seen him holding hands with Dave.

"It seems like we're still the talk of the school," Kurt stated nonchalantly.

Dave glanced around as well, snorting once. Raising one of his eyebrows slightly, he shrugged. "Not for long, though." Graduation was only two weeks away, and they'd be old news after that... especially since they wouldn't be coming back next year.

"I'm really proud of you," Kurt smiled at Dave, giving his hand a small squeeze.

Dave smiled back. "Well, thank you for helping me."

Right as they were about to turn the corner of the hallway, Azimio suddenly appeared in front of them. Kurt and Dave stopped abruptly, where Dave's expression seemed to become tense and he stood up a little straighter.

Azimio had a blank look on his face, where he looked down towards Kurt and Dave's clasped hands and then back up to Dave. He paused for a few moments, taking a deep breath, before he gave Dave a bro-nod. "Hey."

Dave glanced over Azimio's face a few times, where he finally responded calmly. "Hey."

Azimio remained silent for a few more seconds, as if he wasn't completely sure of what to say. "You, uh..." he looked over at Kurt and then back to Dave. "You wanna hang out or something soon?"

Dave continued staring right at Azimio, wondering how he should reply. He eventually nodded briefly. "Yeah, maybe."

"Okay," Azimio nodded back. "Just let me know," he said, before he began to walk down the hallway once again.

Kurt blinked quite a few times, while his eyebrows were wrinkling in confusion. "What was that about?"

"Um... I'm not sure, exactly," Dave shrugged.

"Okay then..." Kurt replied.

They continued walking again, where they turned the corner, and stopped in front of the door to Kurt's next class. Kurt let go of Dave's hand so that he could stand right in front of him. His lips were pursed together, as he began to slowly nod. "Are you really going to do something with him?"

"I don't know," Dave shrugged again. He was completely unsure of how to handle that whole situation with Azimio, though he knew that he didn't have to figure it all out right at that moment. He shook the thoughts off, taking a deep breath and smiled. "So..."

"So..." Kurt repeated, though the expression on his face remained serious. He glanced down towards the floor, swallowing once, before looking back up. "We need to talk sometime soon."

The discussion about college had yet to come up... and while it was still a few months away, Kurt couldn't help but worry about what was going to happen. He was going to New York and he knew that he couldn't miss that opportunity. He wasn't completely sure as to what Dave was going to end up doing, especially since Dave seemed to always change the subject or would avoid talking about anything whenever Kurt wanted to bring it up to him.

Dave knew exactly what Kurt had meant, though he couldn't say anything else compared to what he'd normally say right then. "I know," he nodded.

Kurt nodded back, where both of his eyebrows shot up momentarily. "I think you've been avoiding it for a little while now..." he smiled sadly.

"Yeah, I know," Dave nodded once more, letting his hands slide back into his pockets. "I just..." he shrugged. "We'll figure it out... we have all summer together still," he smiled.

Kurt smiled back, taking a few steps closer. "And it'll be the best summer ever."

"Definitely," Dave grinned. He glanced over Kurt's face for a few moments, where he began to shake his head. "How'd I get so lucky again?"

"Don't even start," Kurt laughed.

"What?" Dave asked sarcastically.

Kurt shook his own head, not even attempting to hide his grin. "Don't get all mushy on me right now," he stated. "I'm not going to want you to leave."

Suddenly, the warning bell for the next class period rang.

"See," Kurt rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry," Dave laughed, where he then faked a pout. "I gotta go."

Kurt raised both of his hands up to fix the collar of Dave's shirt. "No, you should stay," he smiled.

"I wish I could," Dave nodded briefly. He leaned forward slightly, giving Kurt a quick kiss, before pulling back. His usual goofy grin appeared immediately. "I love doing that."

Kurt laughed lightly, giving Dave a look that seemed to say that he meant everything to him. "I love you."

Dave's lips parted slightly, though the grin never left his face. "You love me?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah," Kurt nodded.

Dave leaned forward once more, softly pressing his lips against Kurt's again, before pulling back. "I love you too."

Even though he was wishing that he didn't have to go, Dave finally realized that he'd have to make a run for his class so that he wouldn't end up being late.

"Wait for me?" Dave asked, raising one of his eyebrows.

"Always," Kurt smiled.
