Kurt woke up one morning to find Blaine sobbing on the floor, his copy of The Fault in Our Stars thrown across the room. "Blaine?"
"Just leave me alone! That book is evil! I hate John Green!" Blaine yelled. He tended to get really into the books he read, so Kurt figured a main character's cat died or something like that.
"He lit up like a Christmas tree! I will never look at Christmas the same way again! And it's all John Green's fault!"
Naturally, Kurt got curious, so he started reading the book and immediately fell in love with Augustus. He felt he could relate to Hazel, not in the cancer way, but just her love for romance novels and modeling T.V. shows. When Isaac had to get eye surgery, he was immediately reminded of what the New Directions called 'the Bad incident.' And, just as 'okay was Augustus and Hazel's 'always,' 'courage' was Kurt and Blaine's. So he felt an emotional bond with the characters, which only worsened the impact of Augustus's death.
"Kurt? Are you home?" Blaine asked, coming home from a walk in the city.
"In here!" Kurt sobbed.
Blaine ran into the bedroom, where he found Kurt on their bed, sobbing. "Kurt, please tell me you didn't read it."
"I finished it earlier today. Why did he have to die? And why did Peter end up being an asshole?" Kurt asked.
"Well, I'm sorry about that, Kurt," Blaine apologized.
"I had an emotional bond with the main characters. I like romance and modeling shows, like Hazel, I fell in love with Augustus, and Isaac's eye surgery reminded me of when Sebastard slushied you with a slushie with rock-salt in it," Kurt said. "Pain...it just-"
"Demands to be felt?" Blaine interrupted him.
Kurt smacked him with a pillow, saying, "Blaine Devon Anderson! If you dare quote that book one more time in the next week, so help me God, I will burn all your hairgel!"
"Even if I turn on Halo, play it with you, and repeat the phrase 'Hump the cave wall!'?" Blaine asked.
"Yes, even that. Okay?" Kurt asked.
Blaine knew that the next thing he said would probably get him killed, but he didn't care. "Oh my God! Stop flirting with me!"
"Blaine! I'm gonna kill you!" Kurt yelled, getting up from the bed. Blaine was already running around the apartment, so Kurt ran into the kitchen, and, once Blaine got in there, tackled him, peppering his face with kisses.
"I thought you were gonna kill me," Blaine said.
"I was, but then I realized I can't live without you," Kurt answered. "And I would only be punishing myself if I killed you, so this is a nice compromise."
