"No, you shouldn't have said that and if you want me to believe you're not the douche you were back in school, it would be best to keep comments like that to yourself in the future," Quinn told him quietly. She didn't know why she let his comment affect her so much, but she did. She was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here, and it would be nice to have the same in return. "High school was a hell of a long time ago. I'm in law school now and I've had to deal with a lot of things that's forced me to grow up. I think we can just agree to leave the past in the past, and it will be easier for everyone."
Her eyes narrowed just a little in thought before she had to shake her head. "No, he was shaky before Blaine came on the scene. I think having Blaine's attention has made him ultra-aware of himself and you can see the tendencies pushing back to the forefront, or the random comments about his appearance or how he feels about himself. He doesn't realise he's doing it, see. He'll catch himself when he has control but once it starts spiralling, it can descend extremely quickly. It's pretty basic in it's concept..."
She glanced at him and pressed her lips together wryly, and then mimed sticking her fingers down her throat. "Among other things. When he's slipping, it can be a range of things. He might cut his food up into tiny little portions and eat it a certain way. He won't eat until everything is laid out in front of him in perfect sequence. Some days, he might only eat foods of one colour, or he won't eat at all. Back in school, people just assumed all his layers were a fashion statement, but it was a shield around him so he could hide behind them. And I would love to agree with you on that, but the best thing we can do right now for Kurt, is not stick our noses in and force anything, or he will pull the plug and never speak to Blaine again. When you're ill like Kurt, you literally don't understand the concept of being attractive to anyone. Like I said, Blaine has his work cut out for him."
