To Kurt's credit, he manages not to wince. Because there's a fine distinction between calling someone good-looking, and then applying it to one's own tastes. Objectively, Kurt knows that Karofsky is far from the least good-looking guy out there, that his features are well proportioned and, again, he has height going for him. But he's also far from Kurt's type.
"Well, I mean, you're tall, you've got nice shoulders. And you look far better when you're smiling than when you're trying to overwhelm people by force," Kurt says with a softer tone. He's not trying to make the other guy feel guilty. If anything, he's trying to soften the opinion he tossed at Karofsky all those months ago.
He wouldn't have said those types of things, Kurt knows, had Karofsky not been so much of a bully.
That said, it's easy enough to find another detail to cling to as Kurt watches Karofsky mutter into his mug. "Wait, what was that?" he asks, eyes narrowing. "Did you just say... again?"
Belatedly, the full thought hits Kurt, and he can quickly feel himself flushing as he determinedly drops his gaze back into his mug.
