A/N:Disclaimer:(I always forget to do this :/) I do not own any of the characters in Glee that I am playing with in this story. I am simply writing for my entertainment and for the entertainment of others.
Superyellow: I'm actually not Taiwanese, I am Australian, I am just currently IN Taiwan, so I suppose my computer has picked that up *shrug* At least, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it so that is what I am guessing.

Thankyou for all the lovely reviews and all the story alerts and favourites! I really did not expect it, and it is so lovely to see!
After an uneventful morning full of classes Dave pretended to not to care about, he was relieved when it was time for lunch. He left his history class and made his way to meet Azimio as he left his Science class. The two best friends walked through the corridor and started joking around with each other, talking about football, video games and girls. Guy stuff. Dave knew that he was gay, he just never liked to admit it. But as gay as he was he was still a guy's guy. His passion for football, hockey and other sports was not a show.
He was chatting to Azimio about their next football game the next week. It was an important game against their football rivals, Carmel High. Every year the game between these two teams was effectively a bloodbath they hated each other so much.
They were busily discussing strategy for their game when he saw out of the corner of his eye Kurt and that black girl that was always hanging around him, Magna or something. He saw that Kurt noticed his gaze and looked up and quickly looked away, a small smile on his face. Dave couldn't help but smile also. It was nice to not see fear in the other boy's eyes.
Dave was too caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Azimio held his arm up to stop Dave moving forward and almost jumped out of his skin from the sudden movement. He looked towards his best friend in confusion and saw that Azimio had a smirk on his face and was pointedly looking down the corridor. Dave paled when he realised what that look meant.
It meant Azimio was in the mood to 'Pummel Hummel.'
Azimio looked sideways at Dave and gestured towards Kurt and the girl who were now chatting and walking down the corridor away from the two football players. Without saying anything, and without giving Dave a chance to say anything either, Azimio was walking down the corridor, intent in his eyes. After a second of confusion, panic started to kick in as Dave remembered Kurt's first condition of forgiveness the night before. Dave then rushed forwards and got in front of Azimio before he could shove Kurt into the lockers, holding up his hands.
"D, What the hell?" Azimio said irritated, "I almost had him!"
Dave had no idea what to say to his best friend. This was one of the main reasons he had not stopped the bullying before, once they started he did not know how to stop without losing his friends or being labelled a weakling.
Instead he settled for pointing down the corridor in the direction he was now looking. It was just his luck that none other than Mr Shuester started walking in their direction as he stopped Azimio. Azimio looked around and swore under his breath as he saw the Spanish teacher and conceded that it was a good idea for Dave to stop him by curtly nodding.
Azimio grunted in annoyance and ducked around Dave, heading towards his locker to get his books for the afternoon before going to lunch. Dave sighed and slowly turned around, heading a bit further down to get to his locker. As he reached locker 237, he looked around and saw that Azimio had not waited for him and was already going to get food.
Dave opened his locker and got to work getting his books when he saw a small piece of paper. He paused then hesitatingly reached forward and picked it up. He looked around quickly, noticing no one he knew well was near, he quickly opened the note and read the letter he found there, a grin forcing its way onto his face. On the piece of paper he read.
'Dave,
Thank you for your note. It was a pleasant surprise. I realised that we did not plan for our date, but I did not want to push you. Sorry but Friday is my family dinner night, but what about Thursday? I know you have a big game next week otherwise I would suggest Saturday. I am very happy to let you choose where we go. I am intrigued by where you will take me.
I did notice you left your shirt behind. It is dry now and I actually have it here today. Would you rather wait until you come over on Thursday or Saturday instead? That is fine, but I have it if you want it now.
I hope your day has been pleasant,
Kurt.
p.s. while I do love this note idea, here is my number for future reference: 542-1133.'
Dave grinned and folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket, but not before putting Kurt's number in his phone. He closed his locker and then went to the cafeteria for lunch. As he walked into the cafeteria, he saw Kurt and that girl(was it Miranda?) sitting at a table casually chatting. As he passed he caught Kurt's eye, smiled and, as subtly as he could, winked. Kurt saw this and smiled also, blushing slightly. Dave then turned away and made his way towards the jock table.
Afternoon classes were a drag, until, finally, it was time for his last class: Math.
Dave was one of the few students who actually enjoyed math. He wasn't a genius or anything, he just understood it. He walked into the classroom and made his way to his usual seat, in the middle of the room. He was one of the first ones in the classroom so he took some time to just relax. He sat down and got out his books. He looked up in time to see Kurt enter the classroom. He had forgotten that this was their only class together.
Kurt paused slightly as he walked in and then started moving with a bored expression on his face. He walked up the rows of tables and sat down.
At the table to Dave's left.
Dave looked out the corner of his eye at the other boy and saw Kurt do the same. Apart from that one glance, they pointedly ignored each other for about 10 minutes. Dave was sitting there attentively listening to the teacher and taking notes. The teacher had just turned towards the white board to explain how to solve the question the class was working on when Dave felt a subtle tap on his arm. He looked down and saw that Kurt was holding out a small piece of paper to him. Quickly, so as to not arouse suspicion by other students in the class, Dave grabbed the note from Kurt.
He subtly opened the folded paper and read the note:
'Did you get my note in your locker?'
Dave looked up at the teacher, hiding the note under his hands. He made waited until the teacher was facing away from them again before he wrote underneath Kurt's note.
'Yeah I got it. Thanks for considering the game, Thursday could work. If you have the shirt with you I might as well pick it up today. Where can we meet?'
He looked up and noticed the teacher was once more facing towards the students explaining more about the mathematical equation that Dave currently had no interest in. He knew he was going to give Kurt the note, after he went to the other boy's house the night before he had realised he couldn't be a coward. Being a coward was even worse than being weak or a freak. That decision did not stop him from feeling nervous though, which was currently exacerbated because he was planning on passing notes in class. This was the one class in which he was happy, he could not get caught.
The next time the teacher turned away from the students Dave all but threw the note at Kurt. The smaller boy grabbed the note and turned it over, reading it then quickly ripping off a new corner quickly jotting down a few words. He quickly passed it over to an eagerly awaiting Dave who quickly looked down and read.
'Library, after practice.'
He looked sideways at Kurt and saw him looking. Dave gave him a small nod and watched as Kurt slowly smiled.
