I keep saying it, Blaine is me with boy parts. I'm not surprised at all by the shove. Blaine is the kind who cares for others and wants to do the right thing, but he's always had a bit of a temper buried within. There's a reason people say "Beware of the nice ones"
Seriously, what is the first thing we learn about Blaine? He was bullied and "It really pissed me off". He feels his father tried to pick up a hobby to make him straight and how does he feel about it? Upset. BIOTA fight? Somebody got just as pissy there. That look he gives Karofsky when he walks away in NBK? Not very nice.
And Kurt is not just his boyfriend, but his best friend. Karofsky is not just a bully, he's somebody who has harassed Kurt. And they are alone with him in the middle of the night on a place known for doing nothing for bullying, so I imagine Blaine feeling tense. I think he got his temper flaired up, that mixed with the adrenaline caused in part his reaction to Santana and his face when he came back up. Boy didn't calm down until Mercedes' song. This is actually part of my head canon all along. I don't think he's violent at all and I don't think less of him.
Oh, it's not the shove, it's how quickly he did it and how much he went out of his way to do verbal takedowns of everyone too. When someone pushes a button he falls apart pretty quick, but up to now mainly it's been towards Kurt or about sad things, so it's been creys and stuff. It's not that he got visibly judgy and angry at heckling from some stranger adult, it's that he told him so in no small terms to his FACE.
When I was in school with my true platonic love forever (and the one person I usually refer as my Kurt when describing these situations) I saw her with a bully one time. I knew she was being bullied, but she was a grade higher than me and two years older so I never got to see until that day in P.E.
I had this huge reputation as a sweetheart in school even though I had an undercurrent of anger about daddy issues and how I felt about certain things. I masked it well and was very mature and happy go lucky and book smart. But seeing my best and only friend in the world bullied and actively pushed into depression made me snap since nobody was helping her and I threw a basketball to her bully's face with all my strength and started claiming accident as she bleed. I banked my good reputation enough, but I was pissy as hell to the world.
It was a very quick action after hearing and watching what she was doing to somebody I loved SO MUCH. At that point she was suicidal (and hello me talking to her mother a la Blaine in Sexy). I'm as non-confrontational as they come until you mess with somebody I truly and honestly love. Plus I bet this also has to deal with how Blaine feels about his bullying, about Kurt's situation and the type of bullying he's been forced to watch all night.
What I mean is, that quick moment, how fast he did it, I doubt it was just for that moment. Blaine knows about the kiss, about how physical Karofsky can actually get. How he chased Kurt away. And here he was zoning in on them and they are alone. It adds up little by little, just like that. I know me, I would have been all smiles until that happened and I would have pushed at that same time and said those words. Me who usually would talk to the teacher and try to talk to people.
What you said here and above re: being taken aback by being combative.. I dunno, this may sound weird but re: Sandy, I thought that it was kind of similar to/a flip side to him talking to Burt. He isn't afraid to say things to people's face, even adults, even if it's difficult/inappropriate, and he is clearly quick to anger - I've thought that since NBK where he was like 'It really ...pissed me off' where he was controlling himself so hard like he had to cut himself off from swearing or ranting for the sake of the conversation with Kurt. Speaking to Burt was very calculated and planned and he still did it - when fuelled by anger, I don't think he has a lot of reservation at all, like that he works very hard to control himself, and hasn't had anything to set him off in a long time, but that it can overwhelm him. Plus Karofsky called him an offensive SEXUAL nickname, as opposed to just an offensive flowery one, and it probably put him back in his old place.
