Kurt felt the warmth of the morning sun streaming through the thin curtains as his eye lids fluttered open. The first thing he saw was Dave laying next to him on top of the bed covers. The jock had turned over in his sleep and Kurt watched his body take soft intakes of breath as he slept. Kurt bit his lip remembering the feel of Dave’s arms around him and the loving caress of the jock’s rough fingertips against his skin. He wanted to reach forward and pull Dave into heated kiss. He wanted to forget his worries of what would happen when this trip ended but things weren’t that simple. Kurt sat up watching as the jock shivered at the cold air the air-conditioner was pumping out. Kurt climbed out of the bed and pulled the comforter over Dave’s sleeping form. As Kurt tucked the blanket around him he paused to let the back of his hand run along the jock’s cheek. Kurt wished the touch would wake him so he could apologize but the other boy’s eyes stayed closed. Kurt frowned holding his fist against his forehead as he gathered the strength to get dressed and leave the room without causing himself or Dave anymore pain.

Kurt stood outside Rachel and Lauren’s room wearing a slim fitting suit as he knocked softly on their door.
The door opened to reveal Rachel wearing pink pajamas and rubbing her eyes, ‘Kurt, what time is it?’
‘Seven,’ he told her, ‘get dressed we’re going to have breakfast at Tiffany’s.’
Rachel looked at him like he had three heads before a smile formed on her lips, ‘Okay.’
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The friends stood outside of Tiffany’s eating bagels and drinking coffee as Rachel asked, ‘Did you sleep alright last night? I’m so nervous about performing later.’
Kurt shifted uncomfortably as he remembered staring at the back of Dave’s head last night until he fell asleep at around 3am, ‘Not really that’s why we’re having our little field trip I need some advice…’
Rachel looked at him eagerly, ‘What’s a matter?’
Kurt swallowed hard before saying, ‘You can’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you.’
Rachel nodded, ‘What is it?’
Kurt looked down the street to distract himself from Rachel’s prying eyes, ‘Dave and I kissed last night, he’s gay, Rachel.’
Rachel brought her hand to her mouth, ‘But I thought he was with Santana.’
‘I don’t know what their situation is,’ Kurt lied, ‘but he’s definitely gay’
‘Oh, are you and he…’ Rachel trailed off.
‘That’s the problem… I’d like to be…but Dave’s scared to come out,’ Kurt explained.
‘So you’ve forgiven him for bullying you,’ Rachel nodded waiting for him to continue.
‘Yeah, I did before prom. He sort of broke down and apologized for everything. Plus spending so much time with him has made me realize that I care about him. I know he likes me back but I don’t want to have a secret relationship with him. I want him to proud of who he is,’ Kurt told her.
‘Kurt you can’t force him out, he has to do it on his own. You have to ask yourself, is he worth waiting for?’ Rachel explained.
Kurt stared down at the sidewalk thinking about his answer.
‘My dads knew each other years before they were both out, they were in high school and were worried how they’d be treated. Papa knew daddy was gay and they loved each other so he waited. It took my daddy two years before he could come completely out of the closet and they could be together,’ Rachel told him. ‘I don’t know Dave’s situation and how long it will take him to be ready but you have to ask yourself Kurt how long you are willing to wait for him?’
Kurt narrowed his eyes staring at his bagel, ‘I don’t know. I’m going to have to think about it.’
‘Take your time. We all saw how much your break up with Blaine hurt you and that was amicable,’ Rachel noted. ‘I don’t want you to get hurt again, Kurt.’
XXXXXXXXXX
It was 8am when Kurt and Rachel returned to the hotel. Rachel had excused herself so she could go check if her boyfriend was feeling better and Kurt had headed toward his room. He hoped Dave would be awake so they could have a frank talk about their feelings and he could let Dave know he was willing to wait until the jock was ready to come out.
When he exited the elevator he heard a faint sound of sniffles coming from the end of the hall. He walked toward it afraid it might be Dave but he was taken aback by what he saw. Blaine was sat on the floor clutching his knees crying into his phone. ‘Wes, I don’t know why you’re doing this? Don’t you love me anymore?’ He heard Blaine ask before he looked at his phone dumbfounded and whispered, ‘He hung up on me…’
Kurt stood awkwardly a few feet away wanting to tell the jerk that karma had finally caught up with him when Blaine looked up at him desperately.
Kurt took a step back before deciding even a cheating asshole like Blaine might still need a friend so he asked, ‘What happened?’
Blaine held his hand to his face and sobbed uncontrollably, ‘Wes…Wes…dumped me.’
‘Oh,’ Kurt said moving toward the other boy, ‘Why, what happened?’
Blaine fought against his tears to choke out, ‘He’s in love with someone else…he’s in love with David.’
Kurt wanted to throw up as his eyes shot down the hall to the door of Dave and his room as he shouted, ‘David…Karofsky!?!’
Blaine shook his head giving a tiny laugh, ‘I don’t think Wes has ever met that closet case. No, he’s with David Granger…Warbler David.’
Kurt breathed a sigh of relief and decided to be civil as he knelt down next to Blaine, ‘I’m sorry, you seemed like you really liked each other…’
Blaine shook his head, ‘We were never really good for each other…’
Kurt nodded silently as he heard Blaine finish his sentence, ‘Not like you and me, Kurt. We were a good match and we took care of each other.’
Kurt didn’t have time to stop Blaine from wrapping his arms around him and bringing their mouth together. His limbs pressed against Blaine’s chest feeling limp and useless to move the other boy away. The kiss was awkward and Kurt felt sick as he felt Blaine pull him close as he sat frozen in shock like he had with his first kiss.
It wasn’t until he heard a whimper from down the hallway that he regained his strength and fought off Blaine’s body pushing him onto the floor. When Kurt looked toward the sound he was surprised to see Dave standing a few feet away holding his stomach like he had been shot.
Kurt struggled to his feet reaching his arm out toward Dave, ‘David, please…it wasn’t…’ wall all he managed to get out before the jock fled down the hallway.
XXXXXXXXX
Dave didn’t stop running away until he arrived at the performing arts’ center. He was sweaty, sobbing and panting but he just had to get away.
He entered the arts’ center and heading toward the auditorium thankful not to see another soul in the building two hours before the competition would start. He walked to the stage throwing his bag down as he sat down on the ledge and let his feet hang over. He held his head in his hands unsure of how he was not going let the other New Directions down. He had already woken up sick and a bundle of nerves after their fight last night but after seeing Kurt kissing that asshole again it had taken him every ounce of strength not go straight to the airport to go home or to the Empire State Building to jump off of it.
He held his chest tightly remembering every time he had watched Kurt choose Blaine over him. Kurt had went to the other boy for comfort after their first kiss, allowed the prep kid to nearly out Dave in the hallway, run away to Dalton to go to school with him, sang a love song with him during their performance at the show choir regionals and went to him for comfort at the prom. Dave had been stupid to think Kurt was done with the golden boy and might choose to be with a fat smelly dumbass like him. Even if Blaine had cheated on Kurt, he was still a better person than Dave would ever be. He would be someone that would flaunt Kurt being his boyfriend not someone that only wanted to carry out their relationship behind closed doors.
Dave stared at his sneakers remembering how he had snuck into regionals to watch Kurt and the New Directions perform, knowing it was the only way to see the boy he cared about again.
He looked out toward the chairs remembering the sad song Berry had sung at the performance as he began to sing, ‘What have I done? I wish I could run, away from this ship goin’ under,’ he whispered to himself. ‘Just tryin' to help, hurt everyone else now I feel the weight of the world is on my shoulders.’
He started to stand up looking down at the edge of the stage as he sang, ‘What can you do when your good isn't good enough? When all that you touch tumbles down? Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things. I just wanna fix it somehow. But how many times will it take? Oh, how many times will it take for me? To get it right. To get it right.’
He stood all the way up and lifted arm toward the empty chairs as he asked, ‘Can I start again with my faith shaken? Cause I can't go back and undo this I just have to stay and face my mistakes but if I get stronger and wiser I'll get through this.’
He rubbed his forehead closing his eyes as he pictured Kurt soft lips against his, ‘What can you do when your good isn't good enough? When all that you touch tumbles down? Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things. I just wanna fix it somehow. But how many times will it take? Oh, how many times will it take for me? To get it right.’
His eyes bolted open as he threw his arms out to his sides making fists with both hands as he pictured Kurt kissing Blaine, ‘So I throw up my fist. Throw a punch in the air and accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair. Yeah, I'll send down a wish. Yeah, I'll send up a prayer. And finally, someone will see how much I care!’
He clutched his fists wishing he could feel Kurt in his arms again, ‘What can you do when your good isn't good enough? When all that you touch tumbles down? Cause my best intentions keep making a mess of things. I just wanna fix it somehow but how many it times will it take? Oh, how many times will it take for me? To get it right. To get it right.’
Dave looked back down at the floor shaking his head and rubbing his arm as he glanced up toward the empty chairs. He reached down to pick up his bag as he willing himself that even if he couldn’t win Kurt, the least he could do is win the competition for him.
Btw someone made these amazing gender voice swaps of Glee songs. I was listening to Get It Right pretending it was Dave singing when I wrote this chapter. http://kswhateverspace.tumblr.com/post/3717801174/beba-said-i-should-so-i-am-rachel-ray-berry
