Good Boy Kurt 2 – Kurt's Trials

Chapter Seventy-Eight

"Hey," David's voice is rough and his fingers move under mine.

"You gave us all a bit of a fright, " I stroke his arm, "You hang on, you promise me you're going to hang on."

"'Kay," it's such an obvious effort for him to speak.

"Love you," I blurt out and then the doctor's asking me to leave, "We'll be right outside darling," I tell David as I back out of the room, "Just get better."

A small smile crosses his face and then he's fast asleep again.

I hold it together until I'm out of the room and I can cry my eyes out in Noah and Blaine's arms, I feel my Dad hug me from behind. All the pent up fear and worry coming out of me turns into tears.

Wiping at my face I stand up a bit straighter, I have plans to make, David isn't leaving the hospital anytime soon, I still have school and we'll only have my income to live on.

Medical insurance first, ours isn't huge, neither of us thought about this happening, but Cain beats me to it, "Hey Kurt, look little pup, Dave's here for the long haul, I've got him on my insurance, just in case, it's a good policy, and we've been saving for years for his college fund, I know he's aiming for a scholarship but if it fails we can get him into a modest college, what ever he wants to study is fine."

"Writing, drawing and hockey," I tell Cain, "He wants to write children's books and illustrate them."

"Really? Huh he does love kids," Cain smiles.

"Cain?" Nancy touches his shoulder, "I've seen some of David's artwork, most of it needs a bit of work but there are a few pieces, we could sell them at the gallery with mine, it would give them a boost and get his name out there, art courses and colleges will love that."

Gnawing my lip I nod, "If that's okay with you," I check with Cain first, I don't want to get Nancy to do things Cain doesn't approve of.

"Do it," the man nods.

"Dad?" I ask.

"Yeah Buddy?"

"If we need to, can David and I move in? I don't know what shape he'll be in when he leaves the hospital, I might need help looking after him while he finishes healing," and Dad nods, I knew I could rely on him, now that the misunderstanding is out of the way and he can really see David for who he is there's no problem, "Thanks Dad."

To Noah and Blaine I ask, "Can you two stay here and watch him, you have my cell number if you need me."

"Yeah bro," Noah nods.

"Of course Kurt," Blaine looks confused.

"I have some things to sort and then we can take it in turns being here with him," I hug them both and get ready to call one of my other brothers to come and play chauffer for me.

"I'll come, I need to get things for Cain, and I can go through David's paintings while you get clothes and others things David will need," Nancy volunteers.

Cain okays her leaving and then I walk out with one lingering backward glance at David.

Sam picks us up and asks after David and relaxing when he hears my master is getting better, he probably remembers the moment he was told his parents were dead, he drives us to mine first and as I get things for David so he can be more comfortable in the hospital Nancy raids his paintings, I hope David is alright with this, he can change things when he's feeling better.

Showering I dress and smooth the clothes I've picked out. My fall back fix to make myself feel better is clothes and probably always will be, that and cooking. Grabbing a bowl of cereal I eat quickly and offer food to Nancy who gratefully tucks in too.

Sam carries everything out to my baby and loads her up. Strong arms and washboard abs are there and I cling to him for a few seconds, "Thank you Sam."

"Any day Kurt, any day," and then he drives us to Cain and Nancy's. We unload the paintings and then I help her pack a bag for a few days. They'll stay with David when I have to go to school.

I have to help her in the shower, she's more hurt than she's let on. Bruises cover her body, and I'm so careful as I wash her hair for her, I use a few of my own products to try and tame it for her and then I tie her hair into a French plait.

Ready to head back to the hospital I start cataloguing things I need to do so that David can just concentrate on healing, when he's a bit better he can ease himself into being the dom again and I can step back.

At the hospital Sam sticks around and I chase Dad, Noah and Blaine out, they need to go home, shower and change, I'm sure they'll be back soon and I promise to phone if anything happens.

While I wait for David I update my diary again and then I flip it over and start from the beginning, as far back as I can remember, just the big highlights, things that had meaning to me.

My name is Kurt Elizabeth Hummel, well it's not really Elizabeth, but since this is for David's eyes only I know that he knows my real middle name, and after all Elizabeth is a fabulous name, have you not heard of Elizabeth Taylor?

My earliest memory is of my mother, she was singing, I can't remember what she looked like, but I can remember what she smelt like, how warm her arms were.

Dad is my next big memory. He's holding me and I'm laughing, he throws me up in the air and he catches me, he always catches me.

If you asked Dad he'd tell you his first big memory is of me being born and then only a few days old I peed on Uncle Jay, I was a baby and those two so called grown men still tease me about it.

I carry on and reach my fifth birthday when no one came to my birthday party and it was just me and mom and Dad.

"The pie looks good," Noah's saying as he walks in.

"The pasta was nicer," Blaine says firmly.

"At least you two can eat the stuff, Carole and Kurt will have my hide if I go near most of it," Dad grumbles.

Ben wasn't kidding when he said the town was happy, Carole's been inundated with free food and baked goods being left on the doorstep. Everyone's wishing David and me well, and there's to be a big party when he gets let out of hospital.

Baffled by it I nod and cynically wait for the fuss to die down.

David wakes up a few more times throughout the day, Cain and I take turns to see him, he's stronger, more alert each time.

To pass the time I carry on writing in my diary, and then I have to fend off a bored Noah. Ripping out the pages with the song on I give them to him, it was probably a mistake as he steals them and walks out so he can send pictures of the pages to Artie to turn into proper music for me.

Blaine's a calming and soothing influence until we get on the subject of bowties, I like them but I can see the appeal of other ties and scarves, Blaine is adamant bowties are the only ones that count.

Dad and Cain start talking and it makes me nervous, but they find enough subjects to begin getting to know one and another.

Nancy rolls her eyes at the sports talk and comes over to us.

I'm more confident of David living so I agree to go to the hospital canteen for food that evening and get ambushed by all the people still hanging around, including Finn who's working on a chart with Rachel.

"Dude," my bother sits me down, "We're all taking it in turns to stay here and keep everyone updated on Dave's progress, and we've had so many volunteers that we're working out who'll be on what rota so everyone can be here for you guys and most have said they'll drive you around if you need a ride."

"Oh," it's a good thing I'm already sitting down.

"Let me get you some food," he bounds off as I dab at my eyes.

Rachel leans over the table smiling, "Kurt, I can't believe how different Lima is already, dad says there's a new bank manager and she's going through all the records but some people have gotten letters already and their repayments are so much lower. And some of the most homophobic idiots here, the ones that still hassle my dads? Remember I told you about some of them, well they're backing off and even being polite instead."

Hope.

I see hope in her eyes.

Eating dinner I inhale most of it, I'm so hungry and never realised it, and Rachel shows me the chart, I have to blot my eyes a few times, so many names, so many people willing to help us.

I recognise some of them from the abuse centres David helped out in a few times, school, the church, even work, and some I don't know, people that just want to help.

When I leave to go back to David they send their best wishes to him and a few other people stop me and its so surreal, a few years ago this would never have happened.

I tell the others when I get back and I can see the same scepticism in their eyes, even if this only lasts a week, nothing's going to be the same again in this town.

Taking up my post at the window I watch David as the others slip off to eat in groups, and then we settle in for the night. We all sleep more tonight, David's resting as comfortably as he can and the doctors are still keeping an eye on him but they seem more hopeful too.

As far as we know David only wakes up twice in the night, each time I was at the window so I could smile at him and he smiled back.

Now it's Sunday and he's survive this long, so the doctors start prodding him and changing dressings, checking to make sure nothings soured. They keep him awake for some of it and then knock him out for the rest.

Finally I'm allowed in to see him, "Hi," I touch his hand and slide my fingers under his, and it feels so damn good when he holds my hand.

"Did you sleep?" It's not the romantic greeting I was looking for but then David's busy with taking care of me even now. I know him well enough that he's remembered me standing at the window last night.

"Yes I slept, I just got lucky and was watching you when you woke up, Blaine and Noah have both grumbled that they missed it. Cain's still in a wheelchair and can't peek over the window properly and Dad's too busy keeping an eye on all of us at the moment," I try and put his mind at ease, it seems to work and he relaxes.

As he's so much more awake I tell him my plans and he thinks them over before giving a small nod, "You can change them later David, there's no hurry, just get better."

"'Kay," he sighs and rubs his thumb on my hand.

He stayed awake for longer and we lobby the doctors to let Blaine and Noah in next time, they all balk until Dr Cooper steps in and then agree but only one at a time, and not for long.

Blaine's a mess so Noah goes first, and I help Blaine pull himself together so he can have a few minutes too. I hang around at the window and wave at David as he slides back into sleep.

Both boys are ecstatic and I'm glad I gave up my place so they could spend that precious time with David. It's hard to share him, like it used to be hard to share Dad, but just as I learnt then, it means David gets more love too, he gets to be appreciated by more people and he deserves that.

Lunch gets here and I go to get something to eat. Tina, Mercedes and Artie are waiting for me. School's tomorrow and I'm intending to go, David's much better, and I don't fool myself that this is going to be easy or quick, it might mean we miss college next year and have to get more credits before we can go, but we will go, together. If I can graduate this year I can work next year and put David through high school so he can graduate next year, what ever happens will happen, and we'll work as a team to get there.

Tina and Mercedes are happy to go to my house and get some clothes and my schoolbooks for me. They'll all help me get through this.

And then Artie leans forward and grins conspiratorially, "Regionals are on Friday, and that song you wrote is solo material," I can see where this is going and I get ready to grit my teeth as Rachel steals my song from me, "The band and Brad are practicing it now, so how about you sing it for us on Monday?" his smile gets bigger and I think Santana's been a bad influence on him, "I'm sure we'll all pick you for the soloist spot," they're being sneaky again, "With Rachel as back up in case Dave needs you here."

All three of them are in on this and after everything I've been through it would be nice to get the solo, I tentatively agree citing David comes first, Glee second, they nod eagerly and I've walked into their trap, they're planning something.

Leaving them to their scheming I go back so that Cain and Nancy can come and eat.

Stealing my song back from Noah I sit and mentally rehearse it taking small breaks by napping and writing my life story for David, he can read it when he's awake longer, he's normally so physical he's going to go nuts if he can't do something.

I get the last visit of the day and sit by his bedside, "David, I won't be here during the day tomorrow I've got school, Cain and Nancy are staying with you in the day and I'll have the evening."

"You and the other two gonna be okay at school?" He frowns slightly.

"Darling, I've got the entire jock population looking out for me, all of Glee and some of the scariest teachers in McKinley, I'm going to be okay, Noah and Blaine will be okay. And outside of school there's no one else left to pick on us," I recount Rachel's tale.

"Gabe…" He's frowning again. They did tell him didn't they?

"David… Gabriel's dead," I break the news gently, the man may have been a monster but he was David's brother too.

"Thank god," David relaxes completely, "I've been worried he'd get out and go for you or the others."

"No, he's gone now David," I stroke his fingers, "We're safe from him forever."

"That sounds amazing. Safe," he sighs and his eyes close for a few minutes, he must have drifted off so I go to leave him when his hand tightens and he's eyes hold mine. "If you want to leave me, I'll understand. It's not like we've had the easiest path…"

"Hush," I scold him, huffing I run my other hand through my hair, "Kurt Hummel is not that easily to run off, I'm here and I'm staying, get used to it," I glower at him.

"Lethal," he mutters but looks happy.

Narrowing my eyes at him I put my hand on my hip, "David I am not some wild stallion, I'm a puppy, and I'll beat Lassie every single day, there will never be a dog as loyal, loving, fashionable, adorable, obedient, sexy, and as utterly in love with you as I am. You can think you've 'Kurt Whispered' me all you want, but all you had to do was love me, and you did.

"I don't care what life throws at us, what trials and tribulations we wade through, what challenges we climb over and conquer," I squeeze his hand, "We are going to face them singly and together, we are going to take on the whole damn world and nothing is going to stop us."

Panting from my little speech I sink down slowly to my knees, "I love you David. You are my friend, my confidant, my personal wake up call when I need it, my lover, my boyfriend, my fiancé, my future husband and father to the tribe of kids we're going to have, my inspiration, my muse," I lift his hand gently to touch my forehead, "You are my owner, my master, my dom, I submit to you and trust you in all things, just as you said I'm the centre of your universe, you are mine, you are the stability that keeps my life turning and you add more meaning to everything I do.

"We'd have made it on our own, it would have taken us longer, but we'd have done it," I nuzzle his fingers, "We just helped each other get there faster and brought more happiness and all things good to our lives."

Placing a soft kiss on each of his fingertips I cling to him, "I love you so much David one day Hummel, and you're going to marry me and make so damn happy."

"Love you too," a tear runs down his face, my master rarely cries, "How the hell did I get so lucky to have you in my life?"

"Talk to my family," I sass, "They'll commiserate that you're stuck with me."

"Never," his fingers stroke my nose as I've kept his hand conveniently close enough, "Never stuck with you, always lucky." I get another kiss placed on one of his fingertips, "Best boyfriend ever," he tells me and I preen.

The doctor makes me leave so David can rest and I do the most outrageous strut I can manage out of the door, turning I blow him a kiss and then stand at the window to watch him fall asleep.

He dozes off and I hug myself, turning to join my fellow subs I sit up straight and I know we're going to be okay, that somehow everything's going to work out in the end, no matter what, we're going to make it.

I can't wait.

End of GBK2 Kurt's Trials

A/N Sorry for any mistakes I've tried to catch them all but I'm only human.

THANK YOU.

Seriously thank you all so much for every time you've read a chapter, for each story alert, for each favourite, each message and the many lovely reviews you've been kind enough to send me. Some of you have been with this 'verse's Dave and Kurt since GBK, some a little later, I just hope you all enjoyed the journey.

I promise it gets better for the boys from now on. The school and the town are better places for them now and going forward. Kurt's family and friends have accepted Dave completely. Azimio's family only want Dave to be happy and they're coming round quickly to liking/loving Kurt. And Dave's bio family are dead, in jail, or in the case of Cain, there by his side.

They did it, they've made it to the other side, no more trials like that for them anymore. Lima's been conquered and probably doesn't even know it.

The world isn't going to know what hit it when they get there.

Also I must have written then both too well, because no one fell for any of my Valentines Day tricks, well done all of you, give yourselves a pat on the back, you deserve it. A few of you worried I was going to kill Dave off and as you've guessed, not in this fiction.

As you've asked, yes, there is a sequel, "GBK3 Snapshots a series of epilogues", the first chapter is up tomorrow, it will pick up where this one left off and then it's going to skip forward, it'll show some big times in their lives, some chapters will be long, some short. But the posting will be very unpredictable (Yes there will be moments of smut, I haven't forgotten the football field fantasy).

Again thank you for sticking with me on this (very long) journey.

Cheers

GP13 :)
