Some quite offensive language within that does not reflect my personal views. Thanks xoxo
Also I realised a continuity hiccup much like the universe I'm writing…in an earlier chapter I mentioned that it was Christmas break but it's actually the start of their junior year. I'll change that when I get time to do so, but just ignore it for now. I place these chapters around 2x03.
Chapter 13- Limitless (Brittany)
Tina flipped open the pages of the History textbook in front of her, familiar with the syllabus enough to know the location of the Vietnam War without perusing the contents page. Brittany sat in front of her, nervous and jittery.
"Britt? Is everything okay?"
The blonde smiled at an attempt of deflection. "Yep."
Tina raised an eyebrow. "Hey, you can talk to me. If it's something private, the others don't have to know."
"I'm just worried, that's all."
"About my tutoring skills?" Tina smirked.
"About Santana," Brittany clarified. Tina nodded in understanding.
The news about Brittany and Santana's sexualities had been prime McKinley gossip for longer than it should have been. The vultures latched onto it and wouldn't stop lamenting about how much a loss it was for the male population or how bisexuality didn't exist. She had been worried about the two of them, predictably, but she figured that Santana could handle herself just fine. Clearly, she had misjudged them both very poorly.
Brittany was holding herself together and very admirably so. She had guys coming up to her, asking to "fuck the lesbian side out of her" and Tina had wrinkled her nose in disgust upon hearing that particular encounter. The disgust turned into amusement when she learned that Kurt had put his knee between the guy's legs and "prayed that he had ceased the boy's fertility chances because nobody needs those genes in an innocent child".
Santana was flipping the fuck out and it was quite safe to say that. She had been evicted from her home and was now living with Kurt. So she had neither the approval of the student body or her family. All she had was the harem, well and Glee Club. Most of them, anyway.
The Glee Club's divide was still as clear as day. There was Puck, Finn, Mercedes, Artie and Rachel sitting what was seemingly worlds apart from the others. Kurt, Brittany, Santana, Quinn, Tina, Mike and Sam were united against them and Mr. Schuester knew nothing about any of it. Artie wasn't the villain and neither was Rachel. Rachel stuck by Finn and Artie just wanted to avoid Tina after their breakup. Mercedes was universally hated. Even Puck had been overheard stating that it was low what she had done. Despite his attempt at sincerity, Tina had scoffed and consider everything that Puck had done worse or at least equivalent.
"Santana's strong. She's had almost everything she knew taken from her because of narrow-minded fools and she's still standing. I admire her for that. But what you two have is special and as long as you hold onto that, you can't go wrong. And you have Kurt, Quinn and I whenever you need us."
"I wouldn't want to bother you."
"Isn't that what a harem does for each other?"
"I thought that harems usually included orgies. Are we going to have an orgy at Kurt's place?"
Tina chuckled lightly. "Maybe if we're drunk enough."
Brittany tapped her pencil against the paper. "Thanks for doing this, Tina.
"Hey, it's no problem. Shall we get started?"
As Tina and Brittany worked their way through most of Brittany's homework, the blonde understanding more and more of what she was supposed to do thanks to Tina's tutoring methods. It was easier for her to understand and she knew that she would retain it for longer periods of time.
At the end of the session, Brittany thanked Tina profusely for helping her and promised to do something in return.
"Don't worry about it. If it helps you get into vet school, that'll be all the repayment I need. So you do your best to get in."
Brittany nodded happily. "I will! I was thinking about something before. Don't you think that Puck has been a little…inactive given everything we've been doing?"
Tina hummed. "I was thinking about that, too. He seems calmer than usual. If he's planning something big, we'll just have to plan something bigger. No more gonorrhoea rumours this time. We have to make it count. I just hope that he doesn't beat anybody up this time. Kurt and Sam have gone through enough at his hand."
Brittany's eyes darkened. "When I'm through with him, his hand is the only thing that'll want to touch him."
Tina smiled appreciatively and linked arms with the girl, walking out of the empty classroom and into the hallway. Eyes immediately turned to them both.
"Bored of Santana already?"
"Did you fancy yourself some emo chick?"
Tina rolled her eyes. "I'm not a fucking emo, you disgusting cretin."
"Don't, Tina. You're encouraging them," Brittany warned gently and ignored them as people glared and whispered things about her.
"But how do you stand all of this?"
"Simple," Brittany began, "Kurt taught me to just block everything out. I know what's going on in my life better than they do. And the fact that they have nothing better to do than talk about me shows how awesome I am."
Tina nodded. "That sure sounds like Kurt. He really is full of wisdom, isn't he?"
"Somehow it all makes sense, though. Whenever Kurt said that people talking about me said more about them than it did me, I was confused. Surely I must have done something for them to be horrible in response to. But the more I thought about it, the more I understood that they were spending their time talking about me. I was in their minds, even if I wasn't in their hearts. But I have you and Kurt and Quinn and Santana to get by, I don't need people who don't appreciate me."
Tina smiled. "Kurt really improved your self-esteem didn't he?"
"More than you know. He's done that for all of us. He's our fairy godmother, except with better heels and wittier remarks. He's Jennifer Saunders. Now someone needs to improve his. The problem is that Kurt has been almost conditioned to hate himself by everybody in this cesspool."
Tina sighed, knowing exactly the problem at hand. "We need to overthrow everyone first. Once we're top dogs, it'll be easier for Kurt to understand how important he is."
"The thing is," Brittany explained, "that people here actually like him, but they're too afraid of the jocks retaliating on him for supporting him. The spineless segment of the school are actually some of his biggest silent supporters. The Cheerios adore him, naturally, but the football team seems to have more capitol here."
"Patriarchy," Tina spat.
"Lesbian, vampire," Puck's disdainful voice acknowledged them.
Both girls sighed and turned at the same time, breaking the chain of their arms.
"What is it?" Tina asked. "Do you need to be shown how to use simple cutlery?"
Brittany smirked. "Is it still burning when you urinate?"
Puck raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know retards could use three syllable words."
Tina clenched her fists, but was stopped from swinging by Puck arching his back in agony. Over his head, she saw Kurt standing with his arm outstretched.
"How many times have I warned you not to speak about Brittany like that? Yet you insist on becoming the most ruthlessly ignorant person known to this planet. I warned you about the repercussions and now I have used them. Your spine is no doubt causing you a great deal of pain, right?"
"What the fuck did you do, homo?"
"It won't last," Kurt waved him away, "but you will be in pain for the next six minutes. After that, you'll be fine. I trust you know not to insult my friends in the future. You already know what's coming for you in the coming weeks. Or if you don't, you soon will. Have an absolutely awful day, won't you?" Kurt hummed in relief and linked arms with his friends, strutting through the halls like he had just done the world a great service.
Well, he had.
"Kurt, that was insane!" Brittany chirped. "Even I didn't know you could do that."
"I dislike physical violence, Britt. I much prefer non-contact punishment. But Puck can't speak to you like that. He'll be suffering much worse if he does it again, which we will. And part of me is looking forward to that day. How were your free periods?"
Brittany sighed, realising that she would have to tell him eventually. "Good. Tina was just…tutoring me in a few classes ready for vet school applications."
Kurt frowned, but understood, or he thought he did. "It's okay, Britt. I know you don't like to come to me with academic issues. Even though you can always approach me with them, I like that you're hearing things from another perspective. My methods of tutoring are probably less beneficial to Tina's."
Brittany shared a quick glance with Tina that Kurt missed. It said "See? Doubting himself!"
Tina nodded. "I don't know about that. Brittany is inherently smart anyway. There wasn't much I needed to explain."
Kurt kissed the blonde's head. "I'm proud of you, darling. You're realising what I've been telling you all along."
When will you realise Kurt? Brittany thought to herself.
She was immensely grateful for her friends. With them, she could do anything she wanted, no matter what it took to get her there.
Author's Note: This actually should have been posted a few weeks ago, but because of the same timeline, I forgot this was unfinished and wrote Chapter 14 instead, which is already posted for you guys! So...DOUBLE UPDATE ALERT!
