A/N: Claire is currently at Physie, and I'm kind of hoping I'll be asleep by the time she gets home. Don't know though. Anyway, this chapter is kind of dedicated to her, because, I mean, wow. She's kind of perfect and I'm mostly a bitch to her and I kind of just bitch at her and I don't know if she understands how much I adore her and am so grateful for her and the fact that she's taking me in etc. I just. I have a lot of feels. Anyway. So.

It took Blaine a long time to realise that other people weren't like him.

"Wes!" Blaine ran through the halls at Dalton, trying to catch up with the upperclassman.

"Hey Blaine." The older boy smiled warmly. "What's up?"

"Finding Nemo is playing in 3D at the cinema!" Blaine's face grew more and more excited, and he teetered on the edge, as if waiting for Wes to scream with glee first.

However, the desired outcome was a little lost on Wes. He gave Blaine a raised eyebrow. "Okay?"

Blaine hesitated for a moment, before his grin returned. "Isn't it awesome!? Finding Nemo, Wes!"

"You do know it came out ages ago, right?"

Blaine's enthusiasm was draining. "I…but…it's in 3D!"

Wes shook his head. "Sorry Blaine. I've seen it already. I'll talk to you later, alright."

Blaine stopped in his tracks, sighing a little. "Alright…bye Wes…"

He was more excited by things that other people weren't. He obsessed over crazy things that meant nothing to other people.

He was just different, and it was hard sometimes to be himself.

Of course, he would never actually stop being himself. It was just hard.

But it changed when he met Kurt.

While he didn't change, he reeled in the crazy as best he could.

"So…they're holding a Disney Movie Marathon at the cinemas next week." Blaine said a few days after they'd met. He was trying to be casual – he didn't want to scare Kurt off too quickly.

"Oh! Cool. That sounds awesome." Kurt replied, distracted with his hair in the mirror.

"I…was wondering if you wanted to go with me. I mean, it's all night so I understand if-"

"No, that sounds great. When is it?"

It gave Blaine hope.

From then on, Blaine constantly turned to Kurt, sharing his crazy without shame. Kurt seemed to understand. He seemed to obsess and understood that Blaine got excited. They went to conventions and they spent long nights geeking out over musicals and movies.

Blaine was grateful to have him as his best friend, and Kurt in turn loved his company.

Since Blaine's transfer to McKinley, they'd become almost inseparable.

"What are you doing on the twenty-sixth?" Kurt asked, clicking away at the computer.

"Nothing, I think. Why?" he was upsidedown, playing a role-playing game on the playstation.

"Do you want to go to a Pink Concert." Kurt asked, turning around in the spinny chair and beaming at him.

Blaine's eyes lit up. "Pink!?"

Kurt nodded, his face growing more and more excited, and he teetered on the edge, as if waiting for Blaine to scream with glee first.

Blaine did, jumping off the bed happily.

His best friend was perfect.
