Dave and Kurt’s date went very well. They saw a lighthearted romantic comedy and to Kurt’s surprise, Dave actually seemed interested in what was going on. When they got out of the theater, Dave stuck close to Kurt. “That was pretty good,” he said, with a shy smile that was a little bit adorable. Kurt found it slightly irritating the way that his heart flip-flopped in his chest over Dave. He was just that kind of romantic, he supposed.
“It was,” he said, looking up.
They walked around the shopping center where the theater was located for awhile. They talked about mundane things like school and more serious thing like Dave’s coming out, but very quickly, they turned to the topic of their families. “You and your dad are really close,” Dave pointed out with a slightly sad smile. “I hope that maybe one day my dad and I can get back to that level.”
“We are,” Kurt admitted. “When my mom died and it became just us, I think we had to go in that direction or else we would have both went nuts. We saved each other in the strangest way, from just losing it.”
“That’s really good,” Dave said, smiling.
Kurt nodded. “It is good,” he agreed. “I mean, there are so many ways our lives could have gone after my mom died.”
“I really love my family too,” Dave said. It was a simple sentence but Kurt found it to be pretty open and vulnerable for someone who had been closed up. “My father and I got a little bit separated in the last couple of years but my family has always had a good family dynamic. I have a lot of cousins, nieces and nephews. Though, you do sort of get big families with my kind, I mean our kind. It was almost a miracle to my family that they only had two kids.”
“What’s your sibling like?”
“Older sister,” Dave said in response. “She’s got kids and everything. She’s really nice though.”
“That’s great,” Kurt said. “I always wanted to have a younger sister or brother when I was little. Then, well, my dad remarried and I got Finn. Rocky start but he turned out to be the best big brother you could ask for.”
“That’s good. He’s a decent guy.”
“Why was he such a target for you?” Kurt asked, then immediately regretted it. They were on a date. It wasn’t exactly good etiquette to talk about your date’s former bullying. He winced and shook his head. “Sorry, Dave, I didn’t mean to…”
“It was kind of personal,” Dave admitted, looking very sheepish and shy. “He was a dick when we were like ten or eleven and I didn’t let it go so easily. I know how stupid that sounds, so don’t even tell me.”
“Ah I see,” Kurt said, teasing a little. “Finn can kind of be…dickish, but he means well.”
Dave was definitely a gentleman throughout the rest of the date. He walked close to Kurt, hand on his back. He hadn’t come out yet officially but it was obvious to Kurt that he had come out in his heart. He insisted on driving Kurt home when the date was over. Kurt was honestly giddy because they had made such a connection and didn’t even think it would cause a problem when Dave walked him to the door.
His dad was there to meet them.
“Good night out boys?” he asked. Kurt could hear the threats of a shotgun dripping from his tone and deeply regretted letting Dave come to the door. He sidestepped past his father and put on his best smile to counteract the frustration.
“It was a very good night out,” he said with a sugar sweet tone. “Dave took me to a movie and we walked around the shopping center a bit.”
“I see.”
Dave wasn’t as good as Kurt under pressure. He stopped and looked at his father, biting his bottom lip hard. “Mr. Hummel, I am so sorry,” he said softly. “I know that you don’t like me and you have no reason to like me at all. I just wanted to tell you too that I’m sorry for all that I’ve done to Kurt. It wasn’t fair of me and truth be told I was bullying him because I admired him so much. He was everything I wished I could be and I lashed out so violently and it wasn’t fair to him or anything…”
Kurt’s heart ached watching the poor boy fall over his feet like that. “David, it’s okay,” he said, giving his father a look that asked for mercy for the other teenager. “Dad, Dave’s been helping me deal with a lot of the stuff I had no way of dealing with before.” He hated to lay down a guilt trip on his father but really, Burt had been little to no help with his wolfish traits. It was all he could do to get him off of Dave’s back.
“I know you’re sorry kid,” Burt said, looking Dave up and down. “Luckily, I’m all about forgiveness. This is about Kurt. I know that I’ve failed Kurt many times over as a father because of his unique characteristics, but I know a little bit more about wolf kind then I let on. I know that you want to mate up with my son, knock him up with your kids. That is not happening. Kurt’s way too strong for you.”
Kurt’s face turned bright red and he exclaimed, mortified. “Dad!” he screamed. “He and I went on one little date. It was a nice date to the movies and he didn’t even kiss me. You can’t go accusing my dates of wanting to knock me up.”
“I know wolves,” Burt said, voice low. “Your mother hated being trapped in their world Kurt, and I don’t want you to get trapped in it.”
“Trust me,” Dave said, looking from Kurt to his father sympathetically. “Nobody is going to force Kurt to do anything, especially not me. Kurt, I should go. I had a really fun night and I hope that we can go on another date.”
He turned to leave. When he left, Kurt turned on his father.
“Dad!” he yelled out loud. “How could you do that to me? I’m very well aware of my mating compulsions, thank you very much. I’m not in heat and I’m genuinely attracted to Dave. I can promise you that nothing is going to happen that you wouldn’t be okay with. I wouldn’t jump into bed with Dave any faster than I would jump into bed with another guy that I liked. I could have easily had sex with Blaine while we were dating but did I?”
His father looked stunned. “No, Kurt, you didn’t…it’s just hard to trust…”
“I know,” he said, more sympathetic as he realized what upset his dad. He frowned and sunk down to the couch. “You never really told me about Mom’s first mate,” he said. “Was he really bad to her?”
Burt sat down on the couch next to his son, face red and expression guilty. “I’m sorry for being so embarrassing Kurt,” he said honestly, shaking his head. “I just thought back on your mom and how unhappy she was. He wasn’t terrible to her but he was under the impression that because he imprinted on her, chose her as the mate who would carry his pups, that she naturally belonged to him. Their society is very patriarchal and I’m afraid because you have the traits of a girl, you could be taken in my some jackass with a superiority complex.”
Kurt sighed a little bit. “I’ve been trying so hard to figure out how much of me is human and how much of me is animal,” he said. “I’m not going to let something like that affect me Dad. I promise. I like Dave for many other reasons beside the fact that he’s a wolf. He’s sweet beneath all of the hate that he gave me last year. He’s hurt and looking to recover from it. He’s a very good man and a very good wolf all the same.”
