The first gig that Kurt went to after becoming Dave’s boyfriend was normal and uneventful. Dave sang a few songs, which were amazing. And after that they sort of fell into a ritual. Dave went to everything New Directions did, and Kurt went to every gig that their band had. Kurt had tried for a few weeks to try to get Dave to join Glee but he refused. That was something he did with his friends, away from Dave. They both needed that.
    Their relationship lulled, but not the bad sort of lull. It was comfortable. Enjoyable. Kurt and Blaine always agreed on what to watch, what to listen to, where to go, so they never watched anything new. Dating Dave… it opened up new genres  of movies and music, new venues to bond at. Sure they bickered, but they took turns with who would make the decisions. Zombie movies for every musical. A football or hockey game for every shopping trip or fashion show.
    Much to Kurt’s dismay, Dave would still clutch to his polos and tee-shirts. Much to Dave’s dismay (or extreme sexual frustration), Kurt still wore skinny jeans tucked in to his boots. But they always made it work. When they’d bicker, Dave would normally just stop and smile and stare at Kurt until he mellowed out. Kurt would whisper an apology and Dave would hug him and kiss his forehead (And their hearts would flutter and somersault), and proceed on with their day and planning.

Some time after secretly (Well, almost.) dating, Kurt told his father that he and Dave were an item. Which, was frightening. All Burt did was sit in his  worn out chair, his hand slowly rubbing his face and chin. Kurt sat on the edge of his seat, perching, his hands rubbing together nervously. Carole playfully slapped Burt’s hand and giggled out a “Burt, stop that. Can’t you see how scared he is?”
    Burt chuckled and Kurt’s heart and hands eased “It’s okay, son. Finn’s been bringing around Dave for a few weeks before you transferred back. Just when you weren’t home. After football practice and whatnot. He’s a good kid, but it took me a while to feel comfortable around him. And now I know you’re comfortable with him, so it just eases my mind a little bit. Be careful though, okay son?” Burt locked eyes with Kurt, “I really don’t want to get more pamphlets for you.” He smiled and got up, patting Kurt on the shoulder before he left the room.
    Kurt sighed and slumped in his chair, his mind rattled but calmed significantly when his phone chirped at a text from Dave about the time and date of a special gig he was planning. Special. He smiled and wondered if Dave was planning something for them, but his stomach gurgled and twisted when Emily texted him next telling him he better wear something nice to that gig. What was he planning?

Kurt was surprised when it was Emily who started singing first. He was even more surprised at her voice as she belted out “Letterbomb” from Green Day. (But he had to ask her what song she was singing later.) But he only noticed Emily for a moment until his eyes darted to Dave, who was standing less than 3 feet away from her, expertly playing guitar. A talent he wasn’t even aware that Dave had. Last time he saw him play, it was just his hands death gripping on the microphone stand. Emily recently told him that that night, months ago when Kurt had drag Blaine out of their stuffy Dalton library, was Dave’s first time fronting.
    He wanted to ask him if that night he saw Kurt in the audience, but Kurt knew how bright the lights are on stage so it was unlikely. But a little, egotistical voice inside his head hoped that he did.
    The second song in Kurt was starting to get worried that Dave wasn’t going to sing. His eyes kept darting to Dave, but his eyes never moved to Kurt. Just between the floor, his guitar and Emily. Who seemed to be having some sort of non-verbal communication, which caused Dave to tense up before the third song.
    Emily started the song, her on acoustic guitar and Dave eyes disappeared and trailed off.(Emily told him that that night at the club was a tribute day
    And then Kurt realized who was singing.
    “The words get trapped in my mind, I’m sorry if I don’t take the time to feel the way I do” Dave’s eyes were locked on Kurt. “‘Cause from the first day you came into my life, my time ticks around you”
    Kurt knew this song. Dave played it all the time. ”But then I need your voice as a key to unlock all the love that's trapped in of me” It was on the cd that never left his car. “So tell me when it’s time to say I love you” Emily smiled as Kurt darted to the stage, a silent motion from her nudged him. He knew this song. Now he understood why Emily asked him to look nice. She was planning on Kurt running up to join them, secretly planning this. But then again, Emily had previously joked that she was the biggest fan girl to every gay man she met so it was understandable she’d try to make a big scene about the two teenaged boys.
    It wasn’t until Kurt opened his mouth and sang next to Dave that Dave even acknowledged that he was there. “All I want is you to understand that when I take your hand its ‘cause I want to.” He smiled and softened, his hand clasped tightly around Kurt’s.  “We’re all born in a world of doubt. But there’s no doubt. I figured out… I love you”
    Dave’s hand tightened as he looked to Kurt, realizing that the sung lyrics were more than just reciting the song, but a proclamation from the heart. Emily’s eyes were at the two, giant leaking puppy dog eyes of happiness. The crowd “Aww”ed at the two boys, (Kurt later found out after the glee of the show wore off that Emily had specifically harassed this club, a niche gay bar, for this gig.) and a few of the older spectators howled and whistled at the two. “And I feel lonely for all the losers that will never take the time to say what is really on their mind. Instead they just hide away. And yet they’ll never have someone like you to guide them and help along the way”
    The crowed clapped and cheered as Kurt and Dave embraced each other, kissing passionately as the song started to close. Nothing has ever felt as right  before to them as this moment, at this place, at this time. Kurt had fallen in love with Dave. Which, to Dave, was the ultimate gift ever. He had so many plans for them. For so far in the future. So many things that he wanted to experience and all he could picture was having Kurt beside him in every situation.
    “So tell me when its time to say I love you”
