His father seemed to understand how ridiculously unimportant the confession was in comparison to everything else as well. He looked shocked by it, but only because he was caught off guard by it. "Really?" he asked with a surprised tone. He didn't seem upset at all. "I would have never suspected David. Why didn't you tell me that before?" He was trying to be casual but Dave could tell the whole situation was making him feel just as lost as Dave was.
"I was afraid of how you and mom would see me," he said honestly. It was silly for him to be so afraid, especially when his parents were kind and gentle people, but his mind frame had been so different months earlier. "I know that it seems so stupid and childish, but I was definitely very afraid."
"You shouldn't have been son," he said, clasping Dave on the shoulder. "As long as you're happy, your mother and I don't care who that's with. This was before the…stuff though right?" Dave almost smiled at that, because it was very much like his father. He was old-fashioned and his understanding of things like sexuality was limited, but he was a good man and would make himself learn now.
"Way before," he said softly, thinking about how he'd felt at as young as twelve or so. He had known he was gay for a long time, even if he had been in denial.
His father pulled him into a hug. He leaned up close and hugged him back. He felt safe in his father's tight embrace. He smiled lightly. "I love you Dad," he said. "I d-don't really know how to deal with anything right now, but I swore to Kurt that I would come out to you guys, if we made it out of it alive. I have to live my life to its fullest, you know? It's just one of those things that I really had to say." He knew he was rambling a little bit, but his father didn't seem to mind. He let go of Dave, tears in his eyes and smiled.
"I'm glad you told me." They started to drive home when his father made another comment. "I think that therapy may be something you need to think of. The things that were done to you…"
He stopped listening there. He had been raped. He had been violated. That horrible man had raped him and he needed therapy to get it out of his mind. His stomach clenched as the realization hit him like a fist in the face. He took several deep breaths, trying to keep himself from crying. He didn't want to cry. He looked down at the carpeting in the car and broke down crying. The sobs ripped away from him. He closed out until his father pulled over the car and wrapped him in a tight hug, comforting him as he cried like a baby.
"It's alright David," he soothed softly, sounding panicked. Dave would have laughed at the words coming from his father if he wasn't so suddenly terrified. His father was terrible at handling things like this. His father had never imagined handling such an emotional crisis. He rocked Dave back and forth, mumbling things that didn't make sense to him at all. Dave tried to get his grips and go back to normal.
"I love you Dad," he said, shaking his head from side to side. "It's gonna be okay."
"You're right, David, it is…"
It took awhile for his father to calm him down. He took several deep, shuddering breaths and felt like he was coming back down. After his father was finished calming him down, he drove him back home. He admired his father for handling the situation when he wasn't the type at all. He had almost completely composed himself when they got home. When they got into the house, Finn was talking to his mother.
"Hudson?" he asked, not understanding why the boy would be there.
Finn turned to him and smiled an awkward smile. "Hey," he said softly. "God man, it's so good to see that you and Kurt are all in one piece and stuff. It was so freaking terrifying, not knowing where you guys were. I mean, seriously dude, I just…I dunno what to say."
"Don't gotta say anything," Dave said quickly, dismissing Finn's words. "How is he? Is he okay? I haven't been able to see him since they picked us up and I really, really need to see him. Is he gonna be okay?"
Finn looked a little concerned at his tone, backing off just slightly. "That's why I'm here," he said. "Kurt really needs to see you. I was wondering if you'd be up for coming over for just a few minutes to talk to him. He needs you."
Dave looked to his parents. He knew they probably weren't too keen on letting him leave the house ever again, but he'd been in and out of the hospital for the last two days and he really, really needed to see Kurt. Hell, he'd even let them come if they let him go see Kurt. He needed to see Kurt and to know that the other boy was okay. Physically, he knew Kurt was alright, but at the same time he'd been at his side for the months they were captured .It hurt to be apart from him and it was hard to believe he was alright.
His father looked at his mother and she shook her head. He could see the conversation that was going on without words. He had just been kidnapped. He couldn't imagine the thoughts that were going through their head. "Dad, you remember Mr. Hummel," he said softly, trying to plead his case. "Mrs. Hudson was really nice to you back when I was a kid in cubscouts and stuff, remember?"
Hesitantly, his father nodded.
"Alright," his mother said. "If you think you're up for it, Dave, you can go with Finn. I want you to send me a text message the second you get there and before you leave though."
Dave swallowed. He nodded slowly. He could most definitely handle a little extra protectiveness in his life. He wasn't a normal teenager anymore. He didn't care about the same thing that normal teenage boys cared about. He took a deep breath and followed Finn out to a car before either of his parents could change their mind and object to him. "He's really okay, right?" he asked, when he got into the car.
Finn nodded. "Yeah dude, he's doing great. He's a little suffocated by our parents, but…he's good..."
"Thank God," he whispered, taking another deep breath to keep himself calmer.
Just before he started the car, Finn turned to Dave. Dave met his eyes. They had such an up-and-down past, but Finn was a good guy. "Man, I can't thank you enough for what you did for Kurt," Finn said softly. "I don't know any of the details, but Kurt told me that you kept him from being…being a victim and protected him. I can't thank you enough for protecting my little brother when I couldn't. You're his hero."
Dave couldn't believe that. He was Kurt's hero and that in itself was surreal.
