Wow, epic comment is epic! :D Let's see if I can address it all, haha.

Thanks so much! In my head, Azimio got enough of a look at the baby book (before Dave snatched it out of his hands) that he knows that Dave and Kurt were friends once. He thinks it's hilarious and occasionally ribs Dave about it, but in my head at least, Dave and Azimio met in middle school long after Dave and Kurt grew apart.

The next chapter, once I finally get it done, will also be Kurt POV, and there will be a few more in later volumes as well. It's mainly a Dave-centric fic but sometimes you have to show the other side of things too.

I'm so glad you think my reasonings make sense. They make sense in my head of course but I never know how much it will to other people, so I'm really glad to hear that. And YES, you totally get the wedding topper. I definitely imagine it as a sort of rosary...for me, sometimes when I'm stressed I just have to hold something and get that tactile feedback while I'm thinking, and for Dave his rosary is this little totem he's taken from Kurt.

I wish that we could see more of the Karofsky family in the show. I want to know what's going on behind the facade. But until then I make up my own canon! Glad you like! During the meeting with Sue, I imagined that Burt and Paul would recognize each other, but I think Burt realizes the role Paul has played in turning "Davey" into "Karofsky" and resents the effect that has had on Kurt.

I think without knowing Kurt the way we do, we all might expect him to tell. I mean, Karofsky has made his life hell. Why shouldn't he tell the truth? But we know Kurt well enough to know that he won't. Dave doesn't know that, and I think his fear of being outed would turn to paranoia. But I think now he realizes that his secret is safe with Kurt, if Kurt wouldn't tell even in that stressful situation in the office.

Thank you so much! You have mentioned it but it's always so awesome to hear it, haha. ♥ And I'm glad you like my soundtrack as well! :) We apparently have similar tastes, haha.
