Blaine smiled a bit. "No, sadly. Do you think you can pretend like they're learning to respect them?"

[wantwhatiwant]

He frowned, "I don't think I'm that good an actor."

[mediumdrip]

"Then maybe the people around you can sell it? Like your mentor or escort?"

[wantwhatiwant]

"Yeah," He shrugged, he hadn't exactly won them over either. "I don't know if I care enough though."

[mediumdrip]

"I care about your survival though," Blaine points out. "If there's something that can help you?"

[wantwhatiwant]

He blinks at that, "Um... thanks." He guesses, it's weird still to have someone actually give a shit. Someone that wasn't his siblings anyways. "You should just focus on you not dying though, you and Kurt."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine sighs a bit and nods. "Yeah. That's making my hands full, that's for sure. Still, you're my friend. You're one of the best friends I have here, if I'm honest and I've lost so many friends so far."

[wantwhatiwant]

Ian blinked, he had never really... had a friend apart from Mandy, and Blaine was as far apart from Mandy as anyone could get really.

"Yeah?" He frowned at the last, "That sucks." Like most things here, sucks was not a strong enough word to describe it.

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded a bit. There was a sadness in his face that he pushed aside after a moment. "That means that I want to make sure you're popular, okay? I want you to stick around."

[wantwhatiwant]

Ian couldn't help it he laughed out loud, it sounded more bitter than he had intended. "You'll have a tough job at that, I've never been popular in my life."

[mediumdrip]

"Well, we can work on that," he said. "In the mean time, you're popular with me."

[wantwhatiwant]

He laughed again, "Thanks. At least I've got someone routing for me."

[mediumdrip]

"And my point was that maybe I can help ensure that you have more than just me. I'm a Tribute, I can't help out as much as someone else might be able to."

[wantwhatiwant]

Ian pulled a face, "It'll probably take a miracle, but thanks."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine reached out and touched his shoulder. "You'd be surprised how many miracles can be accomplished if you put your mind to it."

[wantwhatiwant]

"If miracles existed, they wouldn't be in this place." He sighed, "But I appreciate it, really."

[mediumdrip]

"I'd think that this place needs miracles more than most," Blaine says after a moment, "But I get what you're saying."

[wantwhatiwant]

"Places that need miracles are usually at the end of the list to get them." Ian told him. "You should probably go and find Kurt you know."

[mediumdrip]

Blaine nodded at that. He really should find him. After a moment, he reached out and pulled Ian into a half hug. "Thank you," he said.

[wantwhatiwant]

"Yeah, any time okay." Hugs are awkward too but he pats Ian's shoulder. "Thanks too, see you around?"

[mediumdrip]

"Definitely," Blaine says. He gives his friend a smile before they part ways.
