Tree without blossoms - Chapter 8/20

Title: Tree without blossoms
Pairing: Kurt Hummel/David Karofsky, mention of past Kurt/Blaine, Kurt/OC and Dave/OC, Mercedes Jones/OC,
Rating: M/NC-17
Word count: ~5,700 words for this chapter
Warnings: None that I can think of as yet that aren’t already indicated by the rating. Original characters needed for a future!fic to be plausible? Is that a valid warning?
Summary: A future!fic set in 2025 where Kurt and Dave's lives intertwine again, proving just how small the world really is, and how Fate has a twisted sense of humour. AU from end of Season 2.

Author's note: Sorry, plethora of OCs here – mostly Dave's family, whom he loves dearly, but which may likely drive him to drink several times this holiday period. Thanks to Debraelq for answering all my questions about Thanksgiving, hopefully I don't warp them too much next chapter! This is early because I have a three day weekend ahead of me and family are visiting, back to Saturdays next week.

Erm, despite my lack of disclaimers at the beginning of the last few chapters I do not suddenly own Glee. Nor do I own Sandy Powell, who is a real person who I have never met, but she is an award winning costume designer and Kurt's original mentor.
