The Cure
Author's Note… OF DOOM! So, this is something that has been bouncing around my head for a little while now, and I've finally gotten down to writing it. Should I be working on my research project for English? Yes. Am I stuck at home due to ice and slowly going insane? Also yes. For those of you who are concerned (is this even anyone?), I'll work on the project later. So, I give you the semi/quasi-sequel to my previous Kurtofsky fic, Only. Like one, check the other out. Enjoy!
Disclaimer-I own the laptop I'm writing this on. I do not own the characters, nor, the show they are from, nor the song that this is loosely based upon ("The Cure" by Tegan and Sara).
Spoilers- Surely you've had enough time to watch Never Been Kissed by now! If not, beware.
I know, the world's been mean to you
I've got a cure, hold tight
I know, the world's not fair to you
I've got a cure for its crimes
-"The Cure", Tegan and Sara
No. That didn't just happen. How could that have just happened? Why did someone who had been tormenting him his entire high school existence just kiss him? It couldn't have been just because of random reaction, like he'd kiss a girl to shut her up (although he did seem the type), otherwise why would he try to go in for another?
It didn't mean anything was going to change. Did it? Obviously, Karofsky wasn't just going to stop or anything. He wasn't just going to accept not being ordinary. Not even with time. He was going to become one of those gays that had a wife, three kids, white picket fence, the whole all-American dream while hiding what they were. Maybe sneak off every once in a while to have an affair, but that seemed so unlikely. Karofsky just wasn't likely to admit to himself he was gay.
Was he? Maybe Blaine could help him. Maybe if he saw that it was fine to be gay, he wouldn't mind. Only but he would. It was the town; anywhere else nobody would care. Stupid Lima. Stupid small town, where everyone has to live the quintessential American dream. And nobody ever left!
But if Blaine could convince Karofsky about other options. About not living in Lima his entire life. Would that make everything okay? Would that magically cure anything? He'd try. He'd see if Blaine was willing. Why wouldn't he be? He needed someone to talk to about all this anyway, and Lord knows his dad or the glee guys would just freak out. Blaine would help. Blaine would help Karofsky understand. Everything would get better than, right?
That was useless. Why did he even think he could change anything? It was just a silly little whim, a wish. Wishes never really came true. Not the dumb ones, anyway. Why did he think he could cure some insensitive jock of his xenophobia anyway?
Postscript- Hmm. That comes off as a tad depressing. I promise I still ship Kurtofsky; this is just a little window into Kurt. Of course he'd be a little skeptical, and obviously he had to have some reason to want to bring Blaine in. Eh. Reviews encouraged, be they good or constructive criticism.
