I realised I hadn't disclaimed yet, so here: No I don't own Glee or any of the characters, I've just borrowed them for a bit. I'll give them back, I promise.

And I know I know... I'm evil. But I knew I'd be uploading today so...(props to Jekyllhj7 for guessing what I was up to lol)

He turned and walked out the door...

...

… dragging Dave out with him.

Shocked at the sudden move, Dave had no choice but to follow the smaller boy. Full on expecting to be led to the front door and kicked out into the rain, he bowed his head and followed obediently. Kurt then led him towards a door, walked in, and then started to descend down stairs.

Wait, what? Dave thought and looked up. He wasn't being led towards the front door like he expected, but down to what looked to be a basement. Oh great, he's going to kill me…

When they reached the bottom of the stairs Kurt switched on a light and the basement was illuminated to show what, to Dave, appeared to be a bedroom. As they reached the middle of the room, Kurt stopped and turned to Dave, and told him to wait there. He then went bounding back up the stairs that they came down not a minute before.

Now alone, Dave took in his surroundings. Going by the photos on display and the overly fancy interior design for a bedroom, Dave gathered that he was in the middle of Kurt's room. This fact actually slightly overwhelmed him. Walking towards the vanity mirror, something that would usually surprise him in a guy's bedroom that seemed so in place in Kurt's room, he inspected the pictures he found stuck to the mirror. There were a couple with the whole of the dumb glee club, as well as a couple with Kurt and his girl friends. What struck Dave about these photos though, was the look in Kurt's eyes. It was one that Dave himself had not seen before, well never really.

Happiness.

Dave then sighed, only to jump when he heard steps on the staircase again, rushing back to the middle of the room, he saw Kurt bouncing down the stairs.

Coming up to Dave, Kurt handed him a bundle of clothes, "Here."

"What's this?" Dave asked.

"Well you are soaked from the rain. And…" Kurt took in a breath, "… if we are going to have this conversation, you might as well be comfortable."

"Oh, uh yeah ok." Dave looked down at the clothes, there was a pair of track pants and a large t-shirt. Looking at Kurt in surprise as the clothes looked like they would actually fit him, Kurt shrugged and told him they were Finn's. Remembering that he did hear somewhere that Finn was actually Kurt's step-brother, or soon to be step-brother, Dave nodded in understanding.

Kurt then smiled and went back up the stairs so that Dave could change.

Being alone in Kurt's bedroom was awkward to say the least. Being in there and changing was exponentially so, which is why Dave, after only slight hesitation, changed very quickly. The clothes only just fit him, the shirt a bit tighter than he usually bought, but surprisingly fit ok. Not knowing what to do with his wet clothes, he held them and stood sheepishly in the middle of the room. After a few minutes, there was a small knock on the door and a muffled "are you done?" could be heard through the door.

"Yeah." Dave called out, and the door opened and Kurt again descended into the room and walked to stand in front of Dave. They stared at each other momentarily before Kurt suddenly reached forward.

"Uh, here, I'll take those." Kurt grabbed Dave's wet clothes and went to his own closet and got a plastic bag off a shelf and chucked the clothes in. he then placed the clothes in the plastic bag at the foot of the stairs. The two boys then stood in awkward silence, before Kurt motions towards the sofa. Dave sat down on the sofa, and Kurt joined him on the other side.

They sat in silence for a little while, both unsure about how to start this conversation. They both knew they had to talk about this, yet neither particularly wanted to either.

"I don't hate you."

Dave looked up in surprise, "What?"

"I said I don't hate you." Kurt repeated, "I don't hate anyone really. Don't get me wrong I don't particularly like you, but I don't actually hate you." Shaking his head, he nervously chuckled, "I don't know what I feel about you actually, what is going through my mind at the moment is quite confusing. I keep reminding myself that despite all the crap in your life, you still hurt me, and it's hard because part of me wants to punch you, because you know I could, but the other part, the part that is slightly winning, wants me to just hug you."

Dave was looking down at his hands now, picking at his nails because he didn't know what to say.

"I do understand though." Dave then looked up and he and Kurt's eyes met, "I do understand, Dave, fear makes people do strange things. I couldn't imagine being so afraid, I mean I was terrified when I came out, and I'm surrounded by people who just don't care. I don't forgive you though, despite what you were going through, you still hurt me and it is going to take quite a lot if you want my forgiveness. But it's definitely nice to have an explanation."

"I'm sorry." Dave mumbled, "I know it doesn't excuse my actions, but know that I'm really sorry! I know that it was sick and twisted, but I really do like you, Kurt. And I would like to earn that forgiveness, eventually."

"You know what Dave, I have an idea." Kurt said, "If you really want to earn my forgiveness, I want two things. If I get these two things, it will be a start."

"Ok…"

"The first is you have got to stop bullying people, especially me. You have some power among those Neanderthals, use it to make a difference, having people like you is better than having people fear you. Ok?"

Sighing Dave agreed to try. "What is the second thing?" he asked.

"Well," Kurt said, taking a deep breath, "I want a date."

Ehehehe..

I just thought I'd add here the timing for this fic, this is, obviously, after NBK, but disregards most of the events in the following episodes, except for the wedding , and Dave never threatened Kurt, and therefore was never expelled. The day in which this is happening is a few days before the wedding, hence why Carol and Finn aren't in the house as my understanding is that they were still living separately before the wedding.

I have also decided to extend the story. Originally it was going to be only the conversation in the one night, that they would talk and sort out their crap and end story... now another idea has popped into my head and I'm going with it. So I guess this is now slightly AU now.
