Ok, I'm going to start quoting madly at you because it was just. that. good.

Kurt lets him cry and doesn’t judge. Doesn’t try for hugs and kisses to make it all better, doesn’t try for words to fix Mike’s broken, hurting pride. And Mike’s glad, right now he’s all spikes and self-defensive lashing out, he doesn't need that.
This touched me so much because I'm very physical with my friends so I would be stupid enough to try and hug someone in Mike's position without realizing it'd be a very bad idea.

The private nature of the emotion Mike is letting show shocks Kurt into silence. Mike smiles into his phone, whispers, “Bye,” and hangs up.
This. just this... it's beautiful and shows so much emotion and development, it's almost a throwaway sentence but it tugs at the heartstrings...

They started hanging out because of it. And now everyone wants him to flip a switch and start dating?
Heh, almost breaking the fourth wall, but serves a lot in showing Mike's inner conflict (although everything is showing it) and reluctance in getting close to anyone.

You handled his parents' pure anger just perfectly; rape doesn't affect just one person, there's their friends and families and everyone is changing and, even if they're just in a couple scenes, Mike's parents' methods of coping are so... gah, I just don't have words now.
