I own nothing. Will have some sensitive things in the future. Enjoy!
"Kurt," David said sitting across from me in the cafe.
"Yes, David?" I asked taking a drink of coffee.
"I was wondering if we could talk. Somewhere people won't see us."
Sighing I took another drink of my coffee before standing up. As I walked out of the cafe I tried my hardest not to look back to see if David was following me. I might have still felt a little fear when I saw him, but he needed help dealing with this and it seemed like I was the only one he would go to.
"Where are we going?" I asked when we were far enough from the cafe.
"I don't know," David said shaking his head, "My house or the school."
"We'll go to the school then."
We continued the walk to the school in silence. I quickly looked over at David and saw that he was looking anywhere but me. It looked like he was just as nervous as I felt and I wondered what I was supposed to do to help him calm down.
After a few more minutes of walking we came to the school. David led me through the football locker room and into the gym. He sat on the floor and rested his head against the wall as he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again I saw fear and confusion in them.
"David," I said staring at him, "We're here and we're alone. What do you need to talk about?"
"You said that I needed to be informed," David said looking at the ground, "I don't...I don't know what you meant though."
I stared at David in shock when I heard him say that. David had been hiding from being gay for a long time and now it seemed like he was finally accepting it. Smiling slightly I sat next to him and cleared my throat.
"I meant being with a guy, David," I said blushing slightly, "Dear Gaga, this is going to be hard."
"What?" David said staring at me.
"I might be out and proud, David, but this is a little new to me too. If it wasn't for Blaine I wouldn't have even talked about it with my dad."
"Oh, you can leave if you want to."
"No, this is a big step, so I'll help as much as I can. It's not going to be much though."
"Where do we start?"
Turning to David I stared at him for a moment before I started to tell him some things I had read from a pamphlet I had gotten from my dad. David looked at the ground with wide eyes as a blush covered his cheeks.
As I talked I forgot how much pain David had caused me and just enjoyed the time. After awhile David started talking back and laughing. Hearing his laugh made having the conversation worth it even if it was still awkward.
When the conversation was over David and I stared at each other. The awkward silence started to fill the space before David jumped up with a smile and tapped my shoulder. I looked at him in confusion as he slowly moved away from me.
"Come on, Kurt," David said calmly, "Haven't you ever played tag?"
"Not in clothes this expensive," I said rolling my eyes.
"First time for everything or are you too scared?"
Cocking my head to the side I stood up and took off after David. David and I ran around the gym laughing for awhile before I tripped and twisted my ankle. Instantly David was by my side doing his best to make me feel better.
"Shit, Kurt," David said pulling off his jacket and putting it under my ankle.
"It's okay, David," I said softly, "Just a little sprain."
"Yeah, wait here; I'll get some things from the locker room to wrap it with."
"You don't have to."
"I know, but I'm going to anyway."
I watched as David rushed into the locker room to get everything. I had never seen him look so concerned about anything and knowing that I was the one that was bringing that emotion out in his eyes made me smile.
David was cute, I wouldn't deny that, and seeing him in this light made me wonder what it would be like if we were dating. He seemed like the kind of person that would love to take care of someone, take care of me.
I liked being in control, but there were times where I just wanted someone to hold me and protect me from the world. Slowly I shook my head and remembered that for the longest time I wanted someone to protect me from the man I was slowly starting to like.
"Here," David said kneeling next to me again, "I'm going to roll up your pants, take off your shoe and sock, and ice your ankle for awhile. Okay?"
"Okay," I said nodding slightly.
"I am sorry, Kurt. If I hadn't pushed you into playing tag..."
"It's alright, David. It was my choice I could have said no. Anyway, it was fun until this happened."
"Yeah, it was fun. A lot more fun then I have had in awhile."
Silence filled the room once again, but I noticed that this time it wasn't awkward. It was like I was just hanging out with a friend, enjoying their company. I was actually enjoying hanging out with David Karofsky.
Looking at David I watched his mouth move. It almost looked like he was singing. Happily I sat up and stared at him until his lips stopped moving and he stared back at me. Smiling I moved slightly closer and poked his chest.
"You were singing," I said smirking.
"No," David said his eyes wide, "I was not."
"You were too. What song were you singing?"
"You probably don't know it."
"Tell me anyway."
"It's a song by Eve 6 called Inside Out."
"You're right, I don't know it. Maybe you could introduce me to some of their music later."
"I'd like that. Actually, I have my iPod and I know Coach Beiste has a stereo. I'll be back."
David once again got up and rushed into the locker room. This time I felt myself smile at what I would deem an almost childish excitement in David. He looked more then happy at the idea of showing me some music or maybe just spending time with me.
Closing my eyes I listened to the silence and to my heartbeat. It seemed so easy for the world around me to stop when I heard that beat. I had loved that sound since I was little. My mom had always rested my head against her chest when she was sick so I could see that she was alive still.
When I heard footsteps I opened my eyes and saw David staring down at me in awe. Smiling up at him I patted the ground and waited for him to sit down. He smiled back as he sat down and put a laptop in his lap.
"I couldn't find the stereo," David said shrugging, "But I did find a laptop. I think I can get internet service and find a way to get to Pandora."
"Isn't that site blocked?" I asked confused.
"Yeah, but it's not that hard to get around the blocks if you know how to. At least it wasn't hard last time."
"David Karofsky, are you a computer wiz?"
David blushed and stared at the computer while typing quickly. Smiling I poked his side before sticking my tongue out. He shook his head but never looked up from the computer. After a few moments he grinned happily and turned the computer towards me as a song started to play.
"Who is this?" I asked calmly.
"Cage the Elephant," David said nodding his head to the beat, "A song called Ain't No Rest for the Wicked. It's one of my favorites."
"Nice, tell me some of your favorite bands."
I listened as David started to list a few bands, most of which I barely knew, but he promised that he'd make sure I listened to them at some point. I kept asking him questions trying to get him to continue to talk.
As much as I knew I shouldn't admit it I found David's voice entrancing. I wanted to listen to him talk for hours and when I looked down at my cell phone I saw that it had been hours. Jumping up I screamed slightly and fell into David's arm.
"What's wrong?" David asked concerned.
"I have to get home and make dinner or my Dad is going to eat something that's not even remotely good for his heart," I said shaking my head, "I'm sorry, David, but I really need to get home."
"It's okay. I mean, I'll get to see you again right? This won't be the last time we hang out?"
"Do you want to hang out again?"
"Yeah, I really do. Oh, and I should probably drive you home."
"We walked here."
"Yeah, but I walked from here to the cafe."
"Ah, okay, you'll have to drop me off a little ways away from my house. Sorry, but..."
"I understand, Kurt. Come on let's get you to my car."
David wrapped an arm around my waist and lead me to his truck, which luckily wasn't far from the door. As we drove to my house everything was quiet except for me telling him directions. Like before the silence was comfortable.
"Here," I said handing him my cell phone when we pulled up near my house.
"You want my number?" David asked his eyes wide.
"Of course, how else am I supposed to know when we're going to hang out next?"
David grinned happily and quickly pushed in his number before I got out of the truck. I waited for him to drive away, but when I saw he wasn't I limped to my front door and smiled when he finally started to drive away.
Smiling I went into the kitchen and started to make dinner. Before I could really get into the cooking I thought about that song that David was singing in the gym. Going into the living room I grabbed my dad's laptop and signed onto YouTube.
Quickly I pulled up the song and started playing it while I made dinner. As I listened I imagined David singing the song and wondered what he would sound like singing. He already had a great voice, but that didn't mean he could sing though.
"I didn't know you liked Eve 6," Finn said walking into the kitchen.
"I didn't either," I said calmly, "I heard they were good and thought I'd listen to them. See if the person was right."
"Were they right?"
"Yeah, at least this song is good."
"Awesome, I have the CD with this song on it. Do you want to burrow it?"
"Sure, just leave it on my bed and dinner should be done in about half an hour."
"Alright, want to play some video games while we wait?"
"Let me txt Blaine first."
As soon as I said his name I wanted to fall to the floor. I hadn't thought about Blaine since he went to show the new guy around school. David made it seem like he was the only one that was around for awhile.
David was someone I was supposed to hate though. I couldn't. Now that I knew David, or was starting to know him, I couldn't just push him away. I was in love with Blaine. I want to spend the rest of my life with him; at least I wanted to before.
