AN: Inspired by lyrics from Show Me Your Colours by S Club 7
As I sat there and listened to Kurt tell me about the New Directions last place finish at Nationals I feel like despite everything we've been together, I don't know him. Any other person would have been devastated to come back with that placing, and yet Kurt seems upbeat about it. I know I would be bummed. What exactly is going through Kurt's head?
There is only one thing I can do to get my answer.
"Wait, I don't get it. You don't seem that sad at all."
Kurt doesn't hesitate with his reply. "Well, it was still amazing. I mean, I flew in a plane for the first time in my life. I had breakfast at Tiffany's. I sang on a Broadway stage."
And there it is - the thing that makes Kurt's amazing. No matter what life threw his way, Kurt always seems to find something positive at it. Sure, he might get upset at first, like the incident a prom, but once he's had time to sit down and sort things out, he's able to put a positive spin on things. Like Nationals - his group finished last and yet he takes away from it all the new experiences.
"I love you."
The words seem right and they come from the heart. And when he repeats them to me, it only adds to the moment.
