Chapter two
Kurt decided he wanted Blaine to come out of his pod person shell that Dalton drilled into him. So one spring weekend, they went to a rock show. Now this was not Kurt’s normal haunt, or his idea of music. But he wanted to let loose and as Mercedes had said, “To just dance.” So that’s what Kurt did.
That is until he recognized the lead singer.
The man he recognized to be Dave Karofsky.
Dave commanded the stage, his vocals aggressive and his presence more than the mundane he put off in school. He wore a fitted tee-shirt, definitely not what Kurt was used to seeing, and he was unable to tell if it was a shade of purple or blue in the club’s light.Kurt understood the passion Dave radiated, but, naturally Kurt didn’t know the song he was singing, nor did Blaine seem to notice it was Dave.
But that doesn’t mean Dave didn’t.
The second time Kurt saw Dave in 6 months was just in a passing. Kurt had just transferred back to school, and there were whispers of Dave’s sexuality already invading the school. Dave’s normal goonie, Azimio, was replaced this time by a girl that Kurt actually recognized as the guitarist from the rockshow. She had golden brown eyes and her short hair was straightened to the point of almost no repair, and chunks of her dark hair were dyed bright colors. (Kurt silently reminded himself to pull her aside to talk about a proper deep conditioning regime.)
But Dave an the un-named girl just walked back, her head high and his was focused on the tiling of the school’s floor. Kurt turned to Mercedes, a silent question to her in his eyes, but she just shrugged and mentioned that she was pretty sure the girls name was Emily and that she was either Dave’s sister.
The first time Kurt talked to Emily he could already tell that she was just as dominate as her brother. She spoke venomously to Mercedes, but sweetly to Kurt, which he found odd and a bit disconcerting. Emily was sans Dave, and she had a bruise and some cuts on her face. Mercedes had assumed that Emily and Dave fought, she nearly yelled this out in the hall, and in a flash, Emily was in Mercedes face. It seemed to be a Karofsky trait to suddenly appear.
“I’ll have you know, “She said, bitterly, “I was. But not against my brother .With my brother. Some fools jumped him.”
Mercedes stepped back, and Kurt’s knuckles went white from holding on to his strap of his messenger bag. “Oh my god! Is he okay?”
Emily rolled her eyes, “Don’t even try. You’re only saying that because you think it’s appropriate to have such a reaction. When my brother came out to school, who was the first to throw a slushie?” She let out a sharp breathe. “Don’t even mentally compare Dave to Kurt. Kurt has all the support in the world from his friends and family. You know what Dave has? Me. Me and our parents. You don’t care.” She shook her head, a look of contempt on her face and walked away.
Kurt just looked at Mercedes, and he looked shocked. Mercedes slushied Dave? Mercedes muttered something that Kurt didn’t hear and she walked away.
The second time Kurt spoke to Emily (And the third time he saw Dave), he found himself in the hospital. Emily looked so small in the hospital chairs, and her eyes were intent on Dave, and flickered to Kurt when he walked in. He was covered in a mix of wrappings and tubes. Kurt noted how he looked so small and frail.
“You can sit down, you know.”
Kurt smiled, and sat in the chair next to her, his book bag between the two. They sat in silence for a few minutes. “It surprised me as much as you did. After I found out.”
“Found out he was… gay?”
“No. That doesn’t bother me.”
“Then what?”
“When I found out the whole glee club slushied him in… I wanna say revenge for making you feel like you had to go.” She bit her lip and took a second, “I think the only one who felt even a little bit bad was Artie,” She smiled sadly, “I think that was because Dave knelt down and took it like a man when Artie went to slushie him.” Kurt composure faltered a moment, and he looked at her. Emily was intent on counting the brown specks on the floor by her feet.
“He cried that day.”
Kurt’s hand covered his mouth.
“He cried for hours. And I’m sure he threaten to kick my ass, but not deny it that I told you. But after.. After everyone was done he went straight home. Showered, and cried. Didn’t leave his room. But when he did,” She sighed, “It was like he was a different Dave. Y’know?” Kurt just nodded and rubbed her back, she retracted slightly from the touch and Kurt backed away.
“Sorry,” she ran a hand through her hair and her eyes, Kurt noticed that they looked more like tarnished gold than anything, twinkled then dimmed, “I get weird when people touch me. My family isn’t really touchy feely.”
“I know how that is. My dad tries, and I’m thankful for that,” Emily nodded in agreement
The first time Kurt spoke to Dave wasn’t much for conversation. It was an awkward, “thanks for defending me to your club” statement from Dave after gym class one day. Dave had heard that weeks ago, when he was still in the hospital, that Kurt had tore apart the glee club for their actions. “It was uncalled for and no one deserves that.” Kurt said softly, noting the bruises on Dave’s face were fading, and that Dave’s reaction smile was surprisingly sweet.
