After Kurt left, Blaine walked out of the closet and sat on the chair near the vanity. He thought about what Kurt had said, and it confused him. What facts?
After a couple of minutes, Blaine looked up as Brittany walked into the room.
"Oh, Blaine, do you have any Tylenol?" the choreographer asked. "Lord Tubbington had too much seafood. I told him not to eat so much; shrimp gives him headaches."
Blaine sighed. "Sorry, I don't."
"Is everything okay?" Brittany inquired, cocking her head to the side.
Blaine looked at her sincere expression. He decided that she just might be the best person to talk to. He took a deep breath and then started talking. He went on about his feelings for Kurt and whether or not they were reciprocated, his conversations with Sebastian, and his and Kurt's recent argument in the costume closet.
Brittany listened to everything, commenting when necessary. When Blaine repeated his and Kurt's words in the costume closet, Brittany interrupted him.
"Blaine Warbler, has anyone told you about our old security guard, David?"
Blaine blinked. "No..." How does this pertain to anything?
"Okay." Brittany responded. "I'm going to tell you. But we don't speak about it around here anymore, so you have to keep it to yourself. Pinky promise."
The locked pinkies, and Brittany began her story.
"During the season we were working on Evita, we got a new security guard. His name was David Karofsky." Brittany sat on the floor and began stretching. "Most of the cast didn't know him because he only worked the graveyard shift, but backstage like Tina, Kurt, Mike, and I knew him from the times we worked late nights." She stretched to her right foot.
"I never really liked him because Lord Tubbington told me that he worked for the Mafia, and Lord Tubbington is never wrong. So, we mostly ignored him. But then, he started making it really clear that he didn't like Dolphin Kurt. He called him vicious names about being who he was, and Kurt would just write him off as an ignoramus." She stretched to the left. "They would get into arguments over nothing and David would start to become really physical. One night, Kurt was working late, and I didn't want to leave him by himself, telling him that bullying shouldn't be accepted, but he insisted that he was fine. The next day, we find out that David was fired, and Kurt didn't come to work for the next couple of days."
She pauses so she can stretch to the middle, and Blaine, intrigued, waits for her to continue.
"Sebastian told us that he knew what was going on, and that Kurt would be fine soon. So we all waited for Kurt to come back, and eventually he did. He just wasn't the same." Brittany fixed herself into a butterfly position and remained there. "He wasn't the same person that he was before. He was distant and aloof, but no one said anything. There was a big rainbow elephant in the room, but we all avoided it. Until the big argument between him and Sebastian. I don't remember all that was said, but we found out that Sebastian got Kurt drunk after the night of the 'incident', the one that got David fired, and they slept together."
Blaine was shell-shocked. "Incident?"
"Yeah," Brittany continued. "We never found out what it was, only Kurt, David, and Sebastian know, I guess. Anyways, Kurt felt used, and Sebastian was just his same smug self. So the girls, myself included decided to take Kurt under our wing, and restore him back to the beautiful flamingo that he is. But whatever happened between them really affected Kurt, and the way you assumed things wasn't right, Blaine Warbler. It's clear Kurt likes you. You need to fix it."
Blaine leaned back into the chair, slowly processing and absorbing everything. There's so many holes in this story, he thought to himself. He was determined to figure them out, because realized he was worth it. Kurt was worth it. But first...
"You're right. I do need to fix it. Thank you so much, Brittany." Blaine gave her a genuine smile.
Brittany smiled back. "My pleasure. I need to go find some medicine, but when you fix things with Kurt let me know. He deserves to be happy."
"I will."
