So here is my entry to Day 1 (Flirting/UST of Smythofsky week! Enjoy, everyone!

"So, do you get what I'm saying?"

Dave's head snapped up up from his phone and he looked at Kurt. "Uh, yeah? No? Maybe?"

The two boys were at the Lima Bean, catching up. They hadn't seen each other in a few weeks, with Kurt preparing for Nationals and his NYADA audition and Dave transferring to his new school, which, as reccomended by Kurt himself, was Dalton Academy(1). There he could be open about who hwas, and even though he was concerened how people there would react to his transfer (he did have a reputation after what happened with Kurt the previous year) everyone was surprisingly welcoming, especially the Warblers, which he'd joined after watching a DVD of Regionals as well as a few of their impromptu performances at Dalton.

Kurt couldn't help but laugh at his friend. "I guess not, since you've been staring at your phone for the past five minutes with that goofy smile on your face."

Dave blushed. He had been staring a text message from one of his best friends. It read: Warbler practice 2night 7 :)

He especially loved the smiley face at the end. It made him think of his friend's actual smiles. They were usually more like smirks, but he loved them anyway.

"Who is he?"

"Wh-what?"

"The guy who sent you that text who you obviously like but don't want to tell me about." Kurt took a sip of his coffee, while Dave turned away, trying to hide the fact that he was blushing even more. "So," Kurt continued. "Who is he? Does he go to Dalton?"

Dave looked up at Kurt for a second, then stared down into his mug. "Maybe," he almost whispered.

Okay, so that's a yes. Kurt thought to himself. "Ooh! It's one of the Warblers, isn't it?" he asked. Though he was almost certain it was, since pretty much every hot guy at Dalton was a Warbler. "Is it Nick? Or Jeff?"

Dave was still staring into his coffee, but he shook his head. "Those two are way too into each other for me to even have a chance with either of them. Though they won't admit it."

They laughed. "Oh!" said Kurt. "What about-"

"Hey, guys," interrupted Sebastian. "Fancy meeting you here."

Of course, he thought. Sebastian seemed to be at the Lima Bean every time he was. Though he did find him to be a little more tolerable after his apology before Regionals, he still wasn't exactly his favorite person.

Sebastian turned to Dave. "You got my text, right? Extra Warbler practice tonight at 7 for that charity concert next week?" Dave smiled and neodded. "Good. Later, Cub(2)." With that he left the coffee shop, and Dave blushed and turned away again.

Kurt sat there, stunned for a moment until he managed to recover from the shock from what he had just figured out. "David," he asked gently, putting his hand on top of his. "Do you like him?"

Dave slowly raised his head, but didn't reply. It didn't matter, though. They both already knew the answer. They sat silently for several minutes until Dave finally nodded, tears in his eyes. He hadn't told anyone about his feelings for Sebastian before, and he knew it was probably hard for Kurt to hear since he knew the two of them were on the rocks.

"Oh-" began Kurt. "Oh, it's okay." He squeezed Dave's hand. "It's okay." Kurt knew what it was like to have someone find out who you like. He'd been through the same thing junior year when Mercedes found out he liked Blaine and teased him about it. He realized he had just done the same thing to Dave, and he felt terrible. "I'm sorry," he said, tears starting to well up in his eyes, too.

Dave kept his head down, crying, and Kurt kept trying to comfort him. This went on for a few minutes until Dave stood up. "I have to go," he said. He left the Lima Bean, got in his car, and drove back to Dalton.

It's not okay, he thought. It's not okay that I'm in love with a guy who would never feel the same way in a million years, even if he is one of my best friends. That I melt whenever I hear his voice or even SEE him, and then have to hear stories about grinding with guys at Scandals or who he fucked every other night. It is definitely NOT okay.

Later that evening, Dave headed into the Dalton common room for Warbler rehersal. He was early, and there was only one other person there. And as luck would have it, that one person just so happened to be the meerkat himself.

Dave was about to turn around and come back when there were more people there, but Sebastian spotted him first. "Hey Cub," he said, and flashed that charming smile of his.

And somehow, with that one little smile, there was hope. Hope that maybe Sebastian could someday, somehow love him. Suddenly Dave didn;t feel so bad anymore.

He was about to reply, but Thad and David walked in and began talking to them, so he just smiled back at him.

Sorry the ending was kinda lame!

(1) This story takes place sometime between Big Brother and Dance With Somebody (so Dave has been at Dalton for awhile but Kurt hasn't had the texting drama or his NYADA audition yet).

(2) Since Dave's nickame at Scandals is the Bearcub, I had Cub be Seb's nickname for him. I just though it fit. :)

Thanks for reading! Review please and thanks. :)
