I own nothing. Warning: Child-abuse. I'm thinking this is the last chapter. Enjoy!


"Hello, David," Kurt said walking in the room with two cups of coffee.

"Kurt," I said dropping my book on my lap, "What are you doing here?"

"Talking to you. Where's Kali?"

"Azimio took her home after I threatened to start singing Willy Nelson."

"I understand why she left. Coffee? It's regular."

"Thanks."

Kurt nodded his head and sat next to me. He looked calm and it was really starting to creep me out. I knew that he was here the first day, but I had been here for almost three days now and he hadn't visited.

The urge to start questioning Kurt came over me, but I pushed it aside for awhile longer. It was nice just sitting here without talking or explaining everything that happened.

I had no idea what all Kali had told him. I hoped it wasn't something that embarrassed me, but knowing Kali she told him everything. I wasn't sure if that was good or bad yet.

"Have the doctors told you anything new?" Kurt asked softly.

"Yeah," I said nodding, "I should be able to go home in about a week and then I get the wonderful time of trying to pay for all of this."

"That sucks. We'll figure something out. In the mean time, there's some things that we need to talk about."

"Like what?"

"Like you thinking I'm the most handsome person you've ever seen."

Sighing I rolled my eyes at that. I should have know Kali would have told him about that. It was a good thing that I didn't tell her everything that I thought about him, that would have gotten very bad very quickly.

"What about it?" I asked slowly.

"I want to get to know you," Kurt said smiling, "I mean, you're a good-looking guy and from what Kali and Azimio have told me you're a really good guy. I want to know that guy, David."

"It's Dave."

"No, it's David. Dave is the idiot that hid who he was and made my life a living hell until I left the school because I was scared. You're David."

I looked Kurt in the eyes before smiling gently. Kali had gotten to Kurt. I should have known she would do something like that. She was so intent on people getting to know me as David.

"Kali hates the name Dave. She's refused to call me that since I started being called it," I said laughing.

"I don't blame her," Kurt said smiling, "I like David a lot more then Dave."

"Okay, now that I officially have two people who are going to be calling me David. What can I do for you?"

Kurt stood up and walked to the door before shutting it tightly. He turned back to me and crossed his arms. We had a staring contest before he looked away and sighed sadly.

"You stole my first kiss, David," Kurt said looking at the floor.

"I'm sorry," I said truthfully, "I wish I never did it. Not that I regret kissing you, but that you didn't want me to kiss you."

"Then why did you do it?"

"Honestly, the day before had been bad at home and for some reason I felt better around you, I always do. Then when I kissed you I freaked out. Kali was going to be coming home soon and if you told anyone things would go to hell. I threatened you to keep you quiet. My turn. Why didn't you tell everyone I kissed you?"

Kurt sighed softly and dropped his arms to his side. He looked so lost and slightly angry at this whole thing. I hated the fact that it was my fault that he was having these emotions.

"You weren't ready to come out," Kurt said shrugging, "Coming out should be your choice."

"Oh," I said running a hand through my hair, "What if I said I was ready to come out now?"

"I'd be happy for you. If you think it's the right time then that's good."

"What if I said I want to be closer to you?"

Kurt froze when he heard that. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy for him to do anything with me, but I hoped that at least we would be able to get to the point of friendship.

"You want to date me?" Kurt asked slowly.

"You already know that I like you," I said calmly, "The rest is up to you, Kurt."

"I don't know you, David. I want to though. I want to know the real you. Can we just start as friends?"

Smiling I nodded my head and took a drink of my coffee. Kurt smiled back happily and started to talk about Dalton. He liked the place, for the most part, and him and Blaine had become good friends, but something was wrong with the way he talked.

"You miss McKinley, don't you?" I asked when he was done.

"Yeah," Kurt said nodding, "I do."

"Then come back. I mean, things will sort of be different now."

"How will they be different?"

"Because you won't be the only openly gay guy there."

"Maybe I should come back then. I'm going to miss Blaine though."

"You don't have to lose his friendship if you move. You two can still hang out and talk."

"True. Azimio was right, you are good with advice."

"Explains why I have a scholarship to school for Sociology."

Kurt and I continued to talk about everything for a few more hours. It was nice to just talk to someone. I didn't do it often with Kali because I wanted to protect her from the life I used to live.

Now I could talk to Kurt and nothing was there to stop me from being completely honest with him. Well, except my own fear, but I hoped that would go away after we got to know each other more.

"David," Kali said skipping in, "Oh, hey Kurt."

"Kali," Kurt said smiling.

"What's up?" I asked looking at her.

"Nothing," Kali said shaking her head, "I was just bored and ran out of clean clothes. I was on my way to wash them."

"Okay," I said nodding, "Who's going with you?"

"No one. I was going to go by myself."

"Nope. I don't want you to be alone until this whole thing is over."

"I can txt Finn," Kurt said pulling his phone out, "I'm sure he won't mind hanging out with you."

"Cool," she said happily.

After Kurt txted Finn to come get Kali we all started to talk again. It was now that I realized how similar the two of them were. Both of them had a love for all things music and if Kali and I had the money then she would have a wardrobe that rivaled Kurt's.

Watching Kali and Kurt talk I saw what I wanted my life to be for the first time. Before I was just going through the motions trying to live one day to the next so I could get out of that house.

It was different now. Now I had not only someone to take care of, Kali, but someone I wanted to spend my life with, Kurt. And the two of them were slowly becoming good friends.

I had to wait for Kali to find someone that she wanted to spend her life with. Of course I was going to make sure that I liked the person she ended up with. I didn't protect her for her to end up with someone who didn't deserve her.

"Hey," Finn said knocking on the door.

"Finn," Kali said standing up, "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," he said nodding, "See you guys later."

Kali jumped up and kissed the top of my head before leaving with Finn. Watching the two of them walk away I wondered what was going on between them. Kali could find someone worse.

"They're not interested in dating," Kurt said smirking, "Finn see's her like a little sister."

"Okay," I said nodding, "Just warn me if Puck seems interested."

"Deal. Puck's not a bad guy, but I wouldn't want him dating my sister either."

"Yeah. It's almost time for visitors to leave."

"Seriously? Wow, I didn't realize it was so late."

"We talked for a long time."

"It was fun. We should do it more."

"We should."

"I'll be back tomorrow. And you're going to be out soon. We should get some food or something when you are."

"I'd like that."

"Good."

Kurt stood up and stared down at me before kissing my cheek and turning away. He stopped at the door and looked back at me. He had a soft flush to his cheeks along with a slight smile.

"See you later, David," Kurt said calmly, "Next time I'll bring us some food, maybe a mini picnic?"

"I can't wait," I said before he left.
