AN: Set during "Heart". Wrote this because Kurt's expression says so much when watching Karofsky walk away in that episode and I wanted to explore that. Inspired by lyrics from "What Hurts The Most" by Jo O'Meara
Watching him walk away my heart goes out to him. I can see the pain he's feeling clearly. I know what it's like to be rejected by someone you care about. Know how scary it is to be at the point that David is at now - knowing who you are but struggling to find that confidence to be that person. To find the strength to ignore all the haters in this world who are afraid of anything that is different than them.
I want to go after him. Finish saying what's on my mind but know that can only make things worse with his new classmate. And let's face it, I'm just a bit scared to do that too.
I love Blaine. I've never doubted that. I though I may have doubted that he loved me back when Sebastian was in the picture, all that doubt got washed away when he stepped in front of that slushy for me.
I'm not afraid of that love being shaken by going after David now and trying to convince him that we could be friends. No, what I'm afraid of is that no matter what I say, I won't be able to make him see my point of view. He had forced a kiss on me once before and what would stop him from doing that a second time.
So, I just stand there and let him walk away. I thought nothing could have been as bad as last Valentine's Day, but this year is suddenly trying to prove me wrong.
