Summary: Dave gets brave...in private.
Warning: Spoilers for "Prom Queen" and sort of AU of the episode.
As Kurt danced with Blaine he couldn’t help but glance over at Dave and Santana as they did the same activity. He could see the sadness in both of their eyes and it broke his heart a little.
He blushed when Dave caught him staring and quickly averted his gaze to Blaine’s shoulder. His eyes didn’t stay there that long because he could feel Dave still staring at him. He looked up at the boy across the room from him and saw the subtle nod of his head toward the direction of the gymnasium’s doors. Kurt’s eyes widen slightly in panic, but then calmed down when he realized he had no real reason to be afraid of Dave anymore. He was changing, slowly but surely.
When he saw Dave leave Santana alone on the dance floor, he made up a half excuse to Blaine for his departure. Blaine, ever-so clueless, kissed Kurt on his cheek and told him that he would be waiting for him.
Kurt smiled softly at his boyfriend before walking away in search of Dave. When he made it out into the hallway, he saw Dave leaning casually against the water fountain.
“Hey, what’s up?” Kurt said softly as he walked towards the bigger boy.
“Come with me for a minute?” Dave asked and Kurt nodded, confused. Dave took Kurt’s hand into his and led the two towards an empty classroom.
When they entered the classroom, Dave let go of Kurt’s hand and the smaller boy felt slightly cold from the lack of warmth that it had briefly caused.
“Dave, what is this all about?” Kurt asked.
Dave stared into Kurt’s eyes and said simply, “I think I owe you a dance.”
Kurt sucked in a breath at the other boy’s words. Before he could say anything, he heard the soft beginning of Switchfoot’s “Only Hope” playing and the feel of Dave’s hands around his waist.
Kurt slowly put his arms around Dave’s neck. Their current position was intimate, but Kurt didn’t mind. He could feel that it took a lot of courage for Dave to even initiate the dance.
“I’m sorry that I was too chicken shit to do this in front of everybody but…” Dave said started softly in Kurt’s ear, but was cut off.
“It’s ok. I know.” Kurt soothed.
They continued to dance as the song played. Dave would occasionally rub the small of Kurt’s back gently or press his cheek against his head. It amazed him how someone so demeaning at times could be gentle. It gave him a weird feeling.
When the song ended, Kurt could honestly say that he was disappointed. He enjoyed being in Dave’s arms and he could tell that Dave enjoyed having him in his arms.
Dave stepped away from and looked down at his feet, not sure what to do next.
“Thank you, Dave. I really appreciated it.” Kurt said truthfully and that got a soft smile out of the boy in front of him.
“You deserve it.” Dave said simply.
Kurt smiled and before he could lose the courage, he stood on his tip toes and gave Dave a chaste kiss on the corner of his mouth.
He heard the boy gasp softly at the contact and it pleased him internally that he had that effect on someone.
“I’ll see you Monday, ok?”
“Yeah…” Dave trailed off.
Kurt walked out of the classroom smiling and if he had turned around, he would have saw Dave doing the same thing.

Pairing: Kurt/Karofsky
Rating: PG
Summary: Dave shows up on Kurt's doorstep.
Warning: A bit of AU I guess.
It was nearly nine at night when Kurt heard someone knock on the front door. Finn was in his room blasting what classic rock he was into lately and his dad and step mother were sitting in the living room, engrossed in Celebrity Apprentice. When his dad was about to get the door, he waved him off.
“Dad, finish enjoying the show. I’ll get it.” Burt patted his son on the back and sat back down next to his wife.
When he opened the door, he was shocked to see Dave Karofsky standing on the porch looking like his world just ended. Even though Kurt was slowly becoming comfortable around one another, they weren’t to the point where they could show up at each other’s house.
“What are you doing here?” Kurt said once he found his voice.
“Kurt, who is at the door?” He heard his dad call, but he ignored it.
“Kurt…I didn’t know...um I didn’t know where else to go.” Dave said, fidgeting.
“What?” Kurt said. He was so confused.
“I came out to my parents.” And then Kurt understood.
“Oh…”Kurt trailed off and before he could get another word in he felt his dad come up behind him.
“What is he doing here?” Burt frowned at the boy standing outside of their door.
“Dad…Dave came out to his parents.” Kurt said not taking his eyes off of Dave.
Burt nodded and motioned for the boy to come inside of the house. Kurt closed the door and Burt led the boys into the living room.
“Carole, Dave will be spending the night.” Burt said simply and Carole immediately understood. Burt turned to Kurt “Get the extra blankets out of the linen closet, ok? We’ll talk in the morning. You boys just go get settled down for the night.”
Kurt nodded and Dave stayed silent. The slighter boy led the two of them upstairs and entered his bedroom.
“Um…I guess you can sleep on the floor tonight.” Kurt told Dave and the boy nodded.
“Why did your dad let me stay without even knowing the whole story?” Dave asked.
Kurt sighed. “Because my dad will never leave someone hanging when they obviously need some help. No matter how they were in the past.”
“Oh.” Dave said softly.
“But you could tell me if you want?” Kurt offered. If the guy was going to sleep on his floor he at least had the right to know the full story.
“There’s nothing really to tell.” Dave started as he hesitantly sat on Kurt’s bed. “I told my parents that I was gay and my dad proceeded to freak out.” Kurt stayed silent as Dave spoke.
“I mean, I thought he would be cool, you know? You saw how he was in those meetings. Talking nothing but good about me and not getting completely angry at me for being an asshole towards you. I thought he would understand…but he didn’t. He just yelled.”
“I’m sorry.” Was all Kurt could offer.
“Man, I see how your dad is with you. You’re his world and not even being gay could change that. I just wish my dad felt the same way.”
Kurt moved to sit next to Dave and put a caring hand on his shoulder. “Your dad loves you, Dave. He just needs time.”
“Maybe…”Dave trailed.
“Look, just sleep it off tonight. We’ll figure it out in the morning.” Kurt said gently and Dave nodded.
“I don’t deserve you being so nice to me.” Dave said looking down at his hands.
“Everyone deserves a second chance.” Kurt shrugged.
“Thank you Kurt.” Dave smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Kurt smiled back. He didn’t know what tomorrow would bring, but he would be ready to help Dave along the way.
