Kurt wasn't blind to the way Dave squirmed in his seat when Nick pulled Jess's body to his, kissing her fiercely as he raked his hands over her back possessively. He knew exactly what moment this scene forced Dave to relive. And Kurt thought about it too, or, rather, what would happen if their kiss nearly three years earlier had been out of love and yearning rather than anger and desperation. Before he could question whether coercing Dave into a New Girl marathon with him and Rachel had been a good idea, he let his hand slide across the narrow gap of couch cushion between their knees just as Nick Miller left Jessica Day standing in the hallway of their loft in shocked disbelief. He had expected Dave to flinch as he let his hand rest on his knee. Instead, they shared a private and vulnerable look, unseen by Rachel—sitting on the floor in front of them and dabbing the corner of her eye with a tissue as she stared intently at the small screen. Without any hesitation, Kurt leaned into Dave, resting his head upon his shoulder.

"Don't worry," Kurt uttered soothingly, dispelling any insecurities his friend may be feeling in regards to their past. He gently pulled at Dave's arm so that it made a half-circle around his waist. He smiled contentedly when Dave's fingers twitched upon his hip, tugging him to curl up at his side.

"They get together in the end," Kurt breathed, further dispelling any uncertainties regarding their future.
