Aw, that was lovely. I especially liked these bits:

He does it over (you’re an idiot and you make a fool out of yourself because you have a crush on a boy, but I like you anyway) and over (you don’t know anything about yourself and you hurt my feelings, but I like you anyway) and over (you’re often inappropriate and you don’t know half as much as you act like you do, but I like you anyway) and over (you steal other people’s spotlight and you sing so often it becomes monotonous, but I like you anyway) again.

For him, though, it’s like comparing apples to chocolate. Sure, he likes apples alright, and he’d eat one if he was hungry. But if he could get away with only ever eating chocolate for the rest of his life? God, why would he even look at an apple?

At McKinley, he’s nothing, really, not even a blip on anyone’s radar. He’s not popular, but he’s also not bullied really. His charisma is encouraged for performances but mostly it just gives him jealous enemies rather than friends. And the New Directions are a hot mess of crazy, and sometimes he can’t believe that these are the people he’s decided to align himself with. ...Come January, he’s still not sure he understands the New Directions, but he does understand one thing about them: when you are a part of them, then you are a member of that family. And the New Directions protect their own.

Awwww. Nice work!
