Say Something That Means Something - Bike

"Did she really just…," Mike asks, eyes wide, as he leaves the choir room with Blaine.

"Uhu," is the only reply Blaine can bring out.

Mike is still shaking his head in disbelief when Blaine, after quickly glancing around to make sure Kurt is not there, asks "Do you think he saw it?"

Mike does not need to ask who his friend is talking about, the worried and pained expression on Blaine's face says it all.

"I don't see how he could have missed it. I don't think anyone could have. Apart from you being mesmerizing when you perform and like really hard not to focus on, even in a group of people, Rachel's flailing, exaggerated movements and faces on top of that are just too in your face annoying not to take up your attention. So you two performing together, well, in the same room, center of attention really. The difference is you are not actually asking for it, which is why we all love you, Rachel is just…well, Rachel."

"Okay," Blaine says, feeling a bit overwhelmed by Mike's answer, then adds with a serious and thoughtful expression "Did I provoke it?"

"WHAT? NO! I mean, yeah, okay, you were kind of sticking out your behind a bit, but it was her who just came up and slapped it. Imagine Kurt had come up and just hit you on the butt, would you have thought that okay and appropriate? In the choir room, at school? And you two are dating."

Blaine is blushing at the thought of this when Mike continues, "You should have heard Artie talk about how Tina gave him a piece of her mind, back when they were dating, for objectifying her. And I think she was right. He asked her to dress differently, to change her appearance for him. If you don't love someone for who they are you don't really love them at all. That is why Tina and I work so well, we do not only not try to change one another, we find a way to love each other for our little flaws, not despite them. But I am losing focus here. So I will spell it out for you again, You did nothing wrong, Rachel is the one who should be feeling troubled about what just happened. Instead," Mike takes a deep breath as he points down the hall where Rachel is leaning against a locker grinning up at Finn's face, "I mean, look at her expression, that grin mixed with a blissful expression that can only be caused by total obliviousness. How can anyone be that clueless as to what is going on around her? Especially if you call the people you keep hurting, over and over, your closest friends. I will never get her. Maybe better that way. I have a suspicion it might cause really bad headaches to twist your own mind into something that might be able to make sense of that girl."

Blaine is just staring ahead, so Mike adds, "I definitely don't think you should just ignore it. Don't act like it never happened, for your own and Kurt's sake, because I think that might really hurt him, badly."

"It's just…I never expected to be at the receiving end of something like that, and never from her of all people. I think she is more confused about, maybe not her sexuality but, sex than I ever was."

"So what will you do? Because, I wouldn't put it past Rachel to think just because you shared a drunken kiss last year she is entitled to do stuff like this forever without having to deal with any consequences."

"She thinks she owns me?" Blaine is looking horrified.

"Not owns you, maybe, but I guess she thinks she can get physical with you, in the way she just did, whenever she pleases. Brittany has a much clearer idea of Girl Power, Feminism and emancipation than her; Brittany totally gets that it works in both directions, for boys as much as girls, or at least should. You must have heard her talking to Kurt about it, she is really awesome in that way. I still can't decide whether to vote for Kurt or Brittany; same with Tina."

Mike shudders at his own earlier words coming back to him, then murmurs "The idea of getting physical with Rachel in any way…, I need to find Tina right now to get those images out of my head. Bye Blaine."

Already walking away he turns around to look at Blaine once more, and says with an apologetic smile, "I am sure you will figure something out. Let me know if I can help."

Blaine is left standing alone in the bustling hallway, a heavy sigh escaping his lips, slightly parted in desperation, expression blank.
