Chapter 9
It was the final game of the football season. The weather in December was definitely colder, but since McKinley’s football team hadn’t been so close to winning in so many decades, the stadium was packed.
Among the audience, Kurt could see Mercedes, Tina and Rachel, who was wearing her “TEAM FINN” T-shirt under her winter coat. He smiled. Kurt never would have thought it possible, but Rachel Berry had kept her mouth shut about Dave’s secret for more than two weeks now.
All the cheerleaders had put their best efforts into their performances that night, but Kurt had strained himself even more. The night before Dave had admitted that one of the reasons he had joined the football team in addition to the hockey team was just so he could watch Kurt in his cheerleader outfit. So, it was the least he could do, really.
He didn’t know if the cheerleading had actually helped the team or not, or if it was just the marvelous job that Beiste had done the past semester, put it was an unbelievable feat that they had come so far. By the end of the night, however, they lost. They’d only got the second place, which was nevertheless the best they had placed in ages on the high school football team championship.
As the game ended, Kurt was talking with Quinn next to the field, so he never saw it coming.
He was knocked down on the grass out of breath by Azimio, who whispered in his ear, “Time to celebrate the last game and our second place, homo,” and then raised his fist to punch Kurt in the face.
He never got to it, though. Kurt saw a red and white blur tackling Azimio to the ground. When he sat up, he saw Dave getting up, Azimio at his feet.
“Get up, you asshole.” Dave spat.
“Defending your boyfriend, are you?” Azimio offered as an offense.
“What if I am?” Dave yelled at his former friend.
Azimio’s eyes widened. The truth finally sank into his thick skull. “I will kill you, fag!”
He charged against Dave, who stood his ground. Azimio grabbed him by the middle, and started to punch his stomach. Dave sunk his elbow hard into the other’s boy back twice, and was released.
Two of Azimio’s cronies got closer, probably to help him beat the crap out of Dave, but were tackled by Sam and Puck. A third one had already engaged Finn.
The shrill sound of a whistle over all the noise on the field made the crowd who had gathered around them fell silent. The boys stopped fighting, except for Dave and Azimio, who still were struggling on the ground, trying to hit one another while avoiding being hit.
Coach Beiste had to intervene and detach both boys. “Stop, NOW!” She turned to the other players. “Hit the showers and cool down, I don’t want to hear another curse or see another fight!”
“As for you two, who started the fight,” she said looking at Dave and Azimio. “Figgins office, first thing Monday morning!”
“Coach, that is not…”
“Shut up, Azimio.” Then she turned and left, dragging a struggling Azimio with her.
Dave swayed on his spot. Kurt ran to him and helped him towards the closest bench, where he laid down. He had a split lip, a black eye, and cuts and bruises on his face and arms. Kurt bet he had worse ones under his shirt.
Quinn handed him a moist towel, and he began cleaning the cuts on Dave’s face. “You shouldn’t have done that.”
“He was going to hurt you, I couldn’t let him do it.” Kurt could see the tears threatening to fall from his eyes.
“Not that,” he gave a small smile. “You didn’t need to say that. Now everyone knows.”
“I don’t care. It was time anyway. Can’t keep us a secret anymore.” His boyfriend replied, looking at him lovingly.
Kurt kissed him passionately, not caring who was watching, and Dave kissed him right back.

Glee Club had gathered around the young couple. Puck kept repeating, “I cannot believe that Dave Karofsky is gay!”
Santana huffed. “Would you please stop saying that like it’s a bad thing?” Brittany moved closer to her and put her arm around the other girl.
Finn cleared his throat. “Hum, Karofsky?”
“What is it, Hudson?” Dave said, sitting up with a grimace on his face.
“I…I think I saw your Dad leaving. He didn’t look too happy.”
“Well, he probably won’t be. He always hated gay people.” Dave sighed. “Thank you for the help, Finn.” They shook hands. “You too, Puck. And Sam.”
Sam answered. “No problem, man. We didn’t want to see you killed by those four cowards attacking you alone.”
It was at that somewhat heavy and awkward moment that Brittany chose to open her mouth. “I think they make a cute couple. Kurt is a beautiful girl.”
Dave had to laugh at that. Kurt only rolled his eyes.
***
That night, Dave just couldn’t face his father, so he slept on the Hummel’s living room couch.
The following morning, when Kurt woke up Dave had already left.
Just before lunch, though, there was a knock at the door. Kurt ran to open it only to find a sobbing Dave on the other side. He could have asked his boyfriend what was wrong with him, but he didn’t need to. He figured out pretty much what had happened, so he just hugged him.
Dave rested his forehead on Kurt’s shoulder. In between sobs, he managed to choke out, “He said he never wants to see me again, and that he doesn’t have a son.”
Kurt started to cry as well. He always knew he was lucky to have Burt, but up until now that hadn’t been so harshly put into perspective.
“He only gave me a few hours to pack all my things, otherwise they would be burnt, and leave.” He sniffled. “Now all my belongings are crammed inside my car. I think the worst part was that he was sober.”
“Son,” Burt Hummel’s voice caught their attention. He had arrived without either noticing. “No one should be treated like that by anyone, let alone his own father.”
He crossed the living room towards the couple who had separated. Putting his hand on Dave’s shoulder, he added, “You can live with us if you want. It’s not a big wealthy house, but you are welcome here.”
Dave, who had stopped crying, had his eyes fill again with tears before replying. “Thank you, Mr. Hummel.”
“Please, call me Burt.”
***
The following Monday, Azimio passed by them on his way to the Principal’s office snorting, but didn’t try anything. The memories from Dave’s punches to his back and face surely were too vivid in his memory for him to try anything.
Everyone else just stared at the two of them for a minute before looking away and then proceeding to talk in hushed tones.
Dave had his left arm protectively over Kurt’s shoulders. When they got to Figgins’ office, Kurt kissed him on his lips. “Good luck,” and waited as Dave Karofsky entered the Principal’s office.
