A/N: I think Karma was thinking on these lines when Huma came to him. And the title is because of the fact that I think, although both do stupid things, they are good-at-heart.
Karma Wangchuk's P.O.V.
He pretended like her presence bothers him and he walked away. It didn't. He wouldn't admit it aloud but he didn't really hate her. Not anymore. Not after she revealed her human side; her vulnerable, her weak side. The one in which she didn't act so arrogantly, so uncaringly rude. The one in which she finally revealed something about her own life, her own troubles. He didn't expect her to come to him though, atleast not with that hopeless look. He knew she would confront him after the performance, probably yell curses and insults at him. Never in a million years had he expected her to come to him with a defeated look, accepting her loss. It surprised him, but more than that it made him guilty. Afterall it was the first time she ever came to him without the spark in her eyes, without the flare in her words. And he felt so bad. Neither Raghav's wise words, nor the stony looks of his former team members hurt him like her forlorn demeanour did. He didn't know why but when she looked at him with tears glistening in her eyes, he spoke up without his own consent. He tried defending but she ruled it out and with a voice that clearly portrayed her helplessness, told him her own side of the story. And he felt worse. In the quest to meet his own dreams and goals, he had quite literally forgottten that a lot of other dreams and aspirations were riding on Dance Mania as well. With sudden, profound guilt filling his insides, he chanced one last look at the broken girl in front of him and walked away. He needed to think.
