The prompt was from singdancedream. "Mike/Brittany- Hurt/Comfort / Friendship Childhood/Present Day Brittany thinks she's too dumb to dance- her dance class has a substitute teacher that told her that when she was only 5 and it's stuck with her ever since, after Kitty yells at her during glee to stop being so stupid and let the real dancers (Kitty...well in Kitty's mind it's kitty) take the spotlight she leaves the room in tears and calls the one person who understands her- he helped her all those years ago maybe he can help her now, MIKE"

"You can't even do a proper backflip! God, Brittany, why are you so stupid? Just let the real dancers show you how it's done."

The blond girl froze in the middle of her pirouette and looked in shock at Kitty as she stood with her hands on her hips and a sneer firmly in place. Brittany started to tremble and shot out of the classroom in tears. She ran down the hall and kept running until she collapsed on the ground and sobbed.

Before she even thought about what she was doing, her shaking hands moved to tug her phone out of her pocket and dial a familiar number.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end immediately sent waves of relief through her and she let out an uneven breath.

"Mike."

"Britt?" The Asian asked, his voice filled with concern, "Are you okay? You don't sound happy."

The blond cheerleader shrugged, even though she knew he couldn't see her, "I'm too stupid to dance."

There was a long moment of silence.

"Say that again?" Mike asked, confusion lacing his tone.

"I'm too stupid to dance. I can't do anything right. Ms. Stewart was right."

He sighed heavily, "Britt, you know what I told you about that woman. She was insane to say that. And I know you. You're the best dancer I've ever met. The way you move... there is just no way to describe it. It's seriously magical. And you're not stupid. You just see things differently, and that's what makes you amazing. Kitty is wrong, Britt. You can't let some jealous, cruel cheerleader push you around. You are stronger than her."

Brittany smiled, "Thanks, Mikey. I think I just needed to hear you say it."

"Any time, Britt. Any time."
