Prompt: Abby - "Ah, young love, they just have to show it off to everybody." - 'ER'
Pushing the locker door closed, Kurt turned from the bank of lockers. As he did so, he caught sight of yet another couple walking hand-in-hand down the hall without a care in the world. It was just one more sight that reminded him that he was back at McKinley. It was also something that he knew he would never experience.
Yes, he had a boyfriend now. Blaine was wonderful. The lead Warbler made him happy and they were happy together. Kurt would even venture as far as saying that he had fallen in love with Blaine and he was hoping Blaine would say the same. Still, he doubted the two of them would ever be able to demonstrate those feelings so openly as his peers did because there were two many close-minded people who would take offense to that.
No, that didn't mean he was going to hide his feelings. Kurt knew he had just as much right as anyone else to show off his feelings. It was what young love was supposed to be like. What all love should be like. Still, both he and Blaine had been through enough that they were just a little bit cautious about when and where they displayed their feelings. He supposed they always would be.
Still, as he passed his stepbrother kissing Quinn, for a moment he wished he was back at Dalton. All of the Warblers had been supportive of them. He and Blaine didn't have to give a second thought about whether it was okay to hold hands in the presence of their friends. Nor was their the almost constant reminder that he was different from those around him. He didn't want to be different. All he wanted was to be like everyone else and enjoy everything that young love had to offer.
