Prejudice is Just Ignorance.

Blaine turns three the first time he really gets in trouble.

His parents get him a giant cake, complete with an edible Power Rangers decoration. Cooper helps pick it out, helps Blaine sign the invitations and put up the decorations.

When the cake comes out, Blaine’s face lights up, and he’s all but bouncing with his excitement. Cooper laughs, tries to hold onto Blaine’s shoulders, but Blaine’s tiny (even for his age), and wriggles free, darting towards the cake.

It happens quickly.

Blaine launches himself face first at his cake, lands in the icing. Dad starts yelling. Mom’s laughing.

Blaine starts crying when he realizes Dad’s yelling at him.

Cooper pulls Blaine out of the cake (trying not to laugh because Blaine’s covered in vanilla icing), and sets him on his feet, trying to dry his tears.

Dad’s yelling about the cake, about Blaine needing to calm down, about the mess. Mom takes into another room, calms him down.

Cooper cleans Blaine’s face off, dries his tears. Blaine’s sniffling quietly, clinging to Cooper’s shirt sleeves.

He’s too young to really understand what’s going on.

Cooper smiles at him, scoops up a glob of icing, smears it across Blaine’s nose with a laugh.

Blaine starts giggling, trying to lick the icing off, his eyes crossing with the effort. Cooper keeps that picture of Blaine in his wallet for a long time afterwards.
