A/N: So I'm really enjoying this story, and if the hits counter is right then other people are enjoying the story too, of course none of them (but one) has reviewed yet so... yeah... Click that review button, cause it's like crack to us writers (you should know this)

Anyways first things first, I forgot this last chapter:

Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, if I did Manny would probably be in the show, not in a fanfic.

Secondly, a few warnings: Under-aged drinking is in this chapter, along with law breaking so yeah.

OK, that's it. ENJOY :D

Discovery, A Glee Fanfic

Manny

Manny stood in front of the mirror in his room checking himself over, while reflecting on the past week. Since he started, he and Karofsky seemed to become kind of friends, like they talked to each other in the hall and sometimes sat together during lunch and definitely talked after gym (which Manny was starting to hate less). But they weren't like best buddies or anything, more like acquaintances, which is better than how the week started out but still not as cool as if they were like really friends. Manny had spoken to Mr. Schue and requested to try out for Glee next week, that way he could pick a song and get it ready and all that, so besides that the week was fairly calm. Karofsky had constantly reminded him of the party, where it was, when he should get there etc. etc. he was acting as if his life depended on him showing up or something. Manny sighed again and put on a pair of glasses, he normally wore contacts but he couldn't seem to get them to pop in and his eyes were getting a little puffy so he just gave up on it. The glasses had a rectangular wire-frame which was a dark brown color, behind the lenses his hazel brown eyes shone under his black eyebrows, his hair, which was usually cropped short, had grown since his last haircut and was starting to get slightly shaggy. He ran a hand through his hair and brushed some lint off his shirt, he wasn't really sure what to wear to the party and had first considered dressing up, but then he remembered it was a high school party and settled on a black tee shirt ,which had a decal of War Machine on it, and blue jeans, he finished off the outfit with his regular black tennis shoes.

A song started playing through the room and Manny turned to his desk where his cell phone rested, plugged in to the wall (stupid Android phone died every few hours). He walked over to it and saw that it was Karofsky, Manny started at the caller ID for a second.

"When the heck did he get my number?" he question the air before sliding the 'Talk' tab over to the right.

"Hey Manny, you almost here?" asked David, loud music could be heard in the background.

Manny glanced at his alarm clock and got an 'oh shit!' look in his eyes, he must have seriously zoned out again.

"Yeah, totally I think I can see the fire from here, see you in a few, bye!" Manny said, hanging up and grabbing his keys, unplugging the phone, and running out the door.

'Somehow' he thought, 'I have to get from here to the forest in like ten minutes.'

Manny groaned as he jumped into his car, he was so screwed.

Karofsky

'Where was he?' Karofsky thought pacing just outside of the circle of light cast by the fire, he had a beer in one hand and his phone in the other, he kept flicking the phone on and glancing at the time.

Give him time David, anyways he doesn't know your ulterior motives

'Can you just, shut up for a while, just a little while, and let me think?'

…

'Well'

I don't think it possible for you to think without me

Dave growled under his breath and took a swig from the beer, he knew if he kept this up the voice would go away, but he didn't want to be hammered when Manny got here. David wasn't even sure why he had a crush on Manny, maybe it was because he was the new kid, or maybe it was because he knew he couldn't have Kurt and settled on someone else. But then again, he didn't even know if Manny was g- Had the same interests as he did. David bit his lip, this was proving to be way too stressful, at least with Kurt he knew there was a chance he could be loved back, with Manny. Maybe it was just because he was new, once David began to think of him as another student he would be able to treat him as such.

'Or maybe it's because of his skin, how it looks soft and how it's just that right shade of brown'

David shook his head, downing the rest of the bottle and tossing it in the bushes. He really had no idea what to think about the whole situation.

"I need another beer."

Manny

Manny was sure he had broken, well pretty much every single traffic law on his way to the party.

"From now on," he mumbled to himself, "I am going to put an alarm for these things,"

Manny was running his small Honda Civic ragged, the 90's car had started making a strange noise when Manny hit 60 and it had been steadily getting louder as the speedometer crept ever higher. Manny looked at the dash and saw that he could probably make it at the arranged time that is if when he hit 88 MPH his car suddenly went through time.

'Really should stop watching old movies'

Manny heard his phone go off again, but he didn't glance at it, he was already speeding and didn't want to add talking on phone to that, especially since he wasn't sure he would be able to control the car at the same time. The phone stopped ringing and his missed call alert went off, he knew that if it was David he would probably call again, he had seemed a little upset when Manny had told him he wasn't sure if he would be able to go on Wednesday because his mom wasn't feeling well and he didn't want to leave her alone. David had gotten slightly upset but didn't say anything, of course by Thursday Manny's mom felt better and when Manny delivered the news David's face lit up and that was when the never ending cycle of where to go, when to show up and blah started.

Manny caught a street sign and used it to think of where he was, if he remembered correctly he had to turn onto the next street. Manny slowed the car down and kept a look out for the opening, which would lead him to the party. After a few minutes Manny discovered that even if he hadn't been paying attention he would have figured it out because along both shoulders there were cars, some were hidden behind groves of trees and others were right there plain as the eye could see. Manny quickly pulled his car into one of those groves and shut off the car, an almost audible sigh coming from the overworked engine (or was that just the stress talking?). He pocketed his keys and jumped out of the Civic, quickly heading for the loud music, suddenly music started playing much closer and Manny nearly jumped out of his skin.

After a few seconds he realized it was his phone, he fumbled with it for a few seconds before he managed to pull it out and answer it.

"Hello?" he said still walking.

"Where are you?" it was David's voice on the line, though it sounded like he was slurring slightly.

'I thought the party started a little while ago…' Manny thought.

"I'm here," he let out a breath, "little late, nothing to worry about." He finished as he broke the circle of trees which surrounded to campfire. Manny's eyes scanned the crowd for Karofsky but he couldn't spot him.

"Th-that's great, I-I'll find you hold on," Karofsky said, sounding like he was trying to hold back a laugh or something.

Manny heard a beep and pulled the phone away from his ear to look at the screen, the words 'Call Ended' flashed a few times in red before going back to the unlock screen. Manny stood there for a few minutes looking for any sign of Karofsky heading his way, he was offered a beer and took it though he wasn't sure if he would drink it or not. He had been told by almost everyone in his family that beer complicated things, of course that didn't stop him from trying it quite a few times at parties and such, but now he wasn't sure if he wanted to or not. Being lost in thought as always Manny didn't noticed Karofsky bumbling his way.

"HEY!" Karofsky yelled out making the other teen visibly jump, "Y-you made it!" he said a goofy grin on his face.

Manny stared at Karofsky for a few seconds, it was obvious that he had been hitting the keg, cooler, and whatever else they had here pretty hard.

"Karofsky, didn't the party just start?" Manny asked holding onto the bottle in his hand (he didn't want Karofsky downing that one too).

"Y-yeah, and it's really fun," he said throwing his arms up in some strange gesture, "c'mon, we're about to play truth or dare." Karofsky grinned again and started walking away.

Manny stared after Karofsky for a few seconds 'truth or dare? Really? How drunk is every else here?' Manny thought still watching Karofsky's receding figure, Manny stared to the point of zoning out when he realized that Karofsky said 'we're' which meant he was going to partake.

"In his state he'll kill himself on the first dare," he muttered to himself running after Karofsky, it was true that Truth or Dare was a kid's game, but a kid's game in the hands of teenagers could easily become deadly, especially drunk teenagers.

"A dare could kill him," he muttered, and thinking of something said he added, "and a truth could kill his reputation."

When Manny caught up to Karofsky he sat down next to him (he had already reached the group playing truth or dare) and said,

"Alcohol leads to loose lips,"

Karofsky just stared at him with a glazed look over his eyes.

"Huh?"

"It's something my mom used to say, it just basically means that when you're drunk you might say anything, especially things you want to keep secret." Karofsky just shrugged.

"If I want to keep it a secret I'll keep it secret, I'm drunk not dumb." Manny was about to argue when one of the other teens stood up.

"A-alright," he started swaying slightly, "here's how it works, I'll spin this bottle," he held up an empty beer bottle, "and whoever it lands on has to answer truth or a dare, once they pick they do what we tell 'em and that's it." The teen sat down and set the bottle spinning around, the tip went 'round and 'round slowly slowing as it's friction with the ground increased. Eventually it stopped on Manny making a sigh escape his lips; he opened his beer and took a sip from it.

"Alright dude, truth or dare," said the teen from earlier; Manny tried to weigh his options and decided he would rather do a dare since he wasn't as drunk as the others (really not at all).

"Dare," he said simply just wanting to get his turn over with, the teen got a mischievous grin on his face. The teen pulled a bucket out from behind him, which was full of different beers.

"I dare you to drink everything in here," he said the grin growing wider.

'Crap' thought Manny.

Manny got up and grabbed the bucket, dragging it back to where he was sitting. He pulled out the first bottle, put it open and chugged it down, he immediately felt a pang in his stomach. He would normally only drink like two beers at a party so he wouldn't get too drunk, he would drink one at the beginning and one at the end, that way it looked like he always had a bottle with him (holding one for a while before drinking it). So Manny hadn't really tested his limits, but he had a feeling he was about to find out.

After a while of popping open bottles and draining their contents Manny knew he had reached the end of his rope, he was starting to feel pretty dizzy and really just wanted to lie down and sleep for the rest of the weekend but he knew he wouldn't be able to do that. With his vision going in and out of focus he grasped the bucket and shoved it back toward the teen that had given it to him, the teen gave it to someone who was standing in the shadows and Manny could hear running footsteps.

'A refill,' he thought wondering who else would be crazy enough to ask for a dare.

The bottle started up again and Manny watched it go around as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. It stopped on a girl who squealed slightly knowing she was probably screwed either way, her eyes went wide as she considered her possibilities and mutter a quick 'truth' at which the boy's face fell. Manny tuned out at this point so he didn't hear what he said or what her response was, but when she did respond the whole group whooped loudly. This continued for a few rounds, all of which Manny ignored while he waited for the bottle to start up again, this time though he realized that the bottle was pointing to the spot right next to him. He looked over and saw Karofsky, whose face was a little green.

"Well which is it Karofsky," the boy said suppressing a hiccup, "truth or dare,"

Karofsky looked a little scared making Manny's slow brain wonder why, Karofsky finally settle on truth making the whole group focus on what the teen was going to ask him.

"Alright, truth, what is your biggest secret?" Manny looked back at Karofsky, feeling sorry for him in the back of his mind.

"Oh that's easy," Karofsky said swaying slightly even though he was sitting down, "I kissed Hum-," he hiccupped and seemed to reconsider,

"No, it's that I'm ga-"again he was interrupted by a hiccup, though the whole group was listening intently. His face seemed to turn extremely green and he put a hand to his mouth shooting up from where he was sitting, almost falling over in the process.

"Oh crap, I'm gonna be sick!" he yelled running toward the woods. There was a collective groan from the rest of the group and they all went back to their game though Manny got up to try and follow Karofsky.

Manny stumbled after him real slow, like a zombie but it really wasn't that hard to find him since Karofsky was retching up a lung wherever he was.

"Rofsky?" Manny asked, not really registering that he had messed up his name, "How you doin'?" he was really just trying to get a fix on him but he also felt like he cared a bit. Manny heard a groan a few feet away from him followed by a thud, it sounded like Karofsky had passed out so Manny ran as fast as his shaking legs would take him.

When Manny got to where he heard the noise he saw Karofsky leaning against a tree, clutching once hand with the other.

"What'd you do?" Manny asked, noticing the tears in Karofsky's eyes. He seemed almost sober now.

"I almost blew," he responded, squeezing his fists and then winching in pain. Manny gave him a confused look.

"Blew what…" he said thinking back to what he had said, his alcohol logged brain processed everything slowly, he thought back to what he had said.

'I kissed Hum-'

'Wonder who that could mea-. Wait, Hummel? Like Kurt Hummel, the only openly gay kid in the school besides Blaine?' Then Manny thought to the other 'secret' Karofsky had 'shared'

'No, it's that I'm ga-'

'Well that could have been him trying to say he's gonna be sick…' Manny thought, though a funny feeling had started at the pit of his stomach.

"Were you trying to say that…" Manny started looking at Karofsky, whose tears had started flowing freely. "that you're…." Manny looked around real quick, just in case, before leaning toward him, "gay?" he asked, nearly whispering. Karofsky's eyes widened, knowing his fear had been realized, he sank to the ground dropping his head between his knees. Manny wasn't really sure what to do, so he just stood there for a few seconds trying to think, without really thinking he walked over and sat next to Dave.

"It's fine Dave, I'm sure that they won't understand what you meant, it took me like forever to work it out." Manny said, suddenly feeling much more sober. "I mean I knew a lot of people like you at my old school, it pretty much goes with the norm, like someone was coming out every other day or something." Manny was about to start a rant when Karofsky stopped him.

"You don't understand," he said through tears," here, in Lima, Ohio this stuff isn't accepted, Kurt was a freak for coming out, it didn't help that he got his boyfriend to transfer over here. It's just really ,really hard," Karofsky said.

"That's what she said," Manny murmured, Karofsky looked at him for a second before giggling like a little kid.

"I guess in my case it would be 'he'," Karofsky said wiping a few tears off his face.

"Listen, David, don't be afraid of who you are. Sure society says that you're supposed to act a certain way, they act like it's a rule etched in stone, but guess what. Rules are meant to be broken." Manny took in a long breath after that, he wasn't sure where that came from but Karofsky seemed to be weighing his words in his head.

"I guess you could be right," he muttered looking over at Manny. It was at this point that he realized they had somehow gotten close, and he meant really close, Karofsky's face blushed but he couldn't make himself back up. In fact Karofsky started getting closer to Manny, who wasn't sure how to react. But just then it started raining causing them both to jump up and look around.

"Crap," Manny said looking around then at David, who was still blushing, "do you have a ride?" he asked but David shook his head 'no'.

'Double crap' Manny thought thinking back to the moment they had had just moments ago.

"I'll give you a ride," Manny said leading the way to where he thought his car was, after a few moments pause he heard Karofsky start shuffling after him causing Manny's heart rate to increase.

'What have I gotten myself into?' he asked himself.

Karofsky

Dave was sure his face was so red that he could light the way to Manny's car.

'What the hell was I thinking?' he asked himself, noticing how Manny was keeping his distance.

You did what you thought was right the voice said, emerging now that Karofsky was nearly clear of the alcohol.

'Now you pop up, now? Where were you when I decided to lean in for a kiss? Where were you when I started telling the truth, huh? Yelled at his 'friend'

Well let's see, you were so drunk that everything I told you wasn't registering, so really I was still here you just weren't listening. It said with a superior tone it its 'voice'.

'Whatever, just tell me how to fix this,' Karofsky thought watching Manny lead the way to his car.

I can't the voice said earning an 'I should've seen that coming' remark from Karofsky, it all depends on how Manny feels. Once you clear that up then maybe you two can explore what kind of Relationship you can have.

Dave sighed and looked at Manny who was standing next to a fairly old Honda Civic, Karofsky caught up to him.

"Hurry up and get in," Manny said opening the door, "wouldn't want you to get sick."

'At least he has good intentions,' Karofsky thought sliding into the seat. Manny shut the door and rounded the car getting in on the driver's side. Manny stuck the key into the engine and turned it receiving a 'click' from the engine, he tried a few times with the same result.

'we're stuck here…' Dave thought looking at the now deserted shoulder.

Well looks like luck is on your side.

'Maybe…' Karofsky thought looking over at Manny who was still trying to start the car.

Manny

"There is no way I'm going out there," Manny said looking at the rain, which had turned into quite the downpour.

'But I'm not 100% comfortable staying in here either…' he thought looking over at Karofsky.

Manny had never had a problem with any of his other gay friends, so why was being around Karofsky making him uncomfortable now?

'Maybe 'cause I know that he has a crush on me?'

Or maybe you also have feelings for him…

At this thought, Manny blushed a deep crimson; he really did not want to have to deal with this now. He was still pretty drunk and didn't know what was him and what was the alcohol talking. Manny sighed; he should have listened to his mom's advice now he wasn't sure what he was going to do.

Preview

Manny's car is dead and the rain isn't letting up, will new feelings surface for both teens or will they just sit awkwardly until someone passes by? What about when Monday comes around? Will Manny still try for New Directions? Will the other Jocks remember what Karofsky let slip and ruin his life? What happens when Kurt realizes that David might have moved on?
