"I said it meant something. It did", Kurt said, trying not to stutter.
Karofsky gave him a shy smile.
"So you're not mad at me for listening to the whole shit?"
Kurt laughed.
"No. Not at all", Kurt said. "But go ahead. I want to hear what you have to say"
"Anyways, I was getting back when you said the kiss shit. And I was afraid to talk to you", he admitted. "I tried to talk to you when you were planning your dad's wedding, but you were with that Dalton guy and then with Finn... SHIT! I like you, ok?"
Kurt sighed, his heart racing, his stomach feeling like a firework show.
"Calm down, Dave", he asked, and they sat side by side on the floor. There was nobody around. They were all busy with Cheerios, football or glee pratice to notice the two boys sitting next to each other on the hallway. "Why are you telling me this?"
"I'm not heartless, Kurt. I care about people. I may be dump and I don't really know how to show my true feelings, but I care about people, when I like 'em", he said, looking at his feet and then back at Kurt. "And I like you"
Kurt blushed with the confession. "A-are you serious?", he said, and then he reminded himself he was Kurt Hummel, for God's sake! "Then why did you toss me into lockers and why all that shit?"
Karofsky wet his lips.
"I don't know. I just want to apologize"
"You'll do it again if I say I apologize", Kurt said, and shook his head. "I'm not falling for that. You'll use it against me in the future"
"I like you, Kurt", Dave repeated.
