The Road Less Travelled

This is a future fic, AU from the end of Season 2, that is, Dave Karofsky never left McKinnley and in fact didn't get comfortable with his sexuality. If the story follows the way I have it planned out so far, it will get fairly angsty, but I do love my happy endings.


Prologue

Dave Karofsky had the perfect life, or at least that's what he would tell anyone who would ask. He had a great job as a lawyer at one of the top firms in Columbus; he had a beautiful wife, as was expected of someone in his position, two kids, a dog, a big enough house and a car. He managed to stay in fairly good shape, despite his job demanding of him to spent too much time stuck behind some desk or other. Ok, so there were the unresolved anger issues, he had ever since he was a teenager and for which he had been to too many anger management courses to remember. The recurring bouts of depression, he couldn't explain and for which he had to take pills whenever they got really bad, the fact that although he loved his wife, or at least thought he did, he hardly could get it up in the bedroom department, but his wife being as gracious as she was, just tended to ignore it and acted as though everything was normal. 'But who hasn't got problems, right?', he always reminded himself when these questions and doubts raised their ugly head. So by all accounts he should be content. Why did he feel at times though like there was something more, as though there was something that just wants to burst out, hiding deep inside of him, something he had long ago decided to bury and forget about. That empty feeling, he never really allowed to surface, and thank god that most of the time he was too busy or too tired to have the time to have to deal with.

Yes, Dave Karofsky wore his mask almost perfectly.


A/N This is my first ever attempt at writing fanfiction, but this story has been going round in my head for months now, so I decided to give it a go. Constructive criticism would be very welcome. If you like it, please let me know, it would give me the incentive to continue. the next couple of chapters are almost done.
