A/N: After the Night of Neglect performance, Kurt realises he forgot to show Blaine the library :) This is how I think their conversation should go...

Rating: G/K


"This is the library," Kurt muttered, stepping inside.

Blaine wasn't impressed. "It's small,"

"This isn't Dalton," Kurt reminded him

"I know, I know," Blaine grinned, running his fingers down the spines of books. "But even so…there are picture books here. Thad would be horrified,"

Kurt grinned. "McKinley has charm that you just have to try and get used to,"

Blaine snorted. "I see,"

He glanced around distastefully until his eyes fell onto the stack of records. "Oh!"

Kurt followed him to the shelves, but he could already see his disappointment in the way his shoulders slumped.

"Man…it would only take a few hundred dollars to update this collection," Blaine muttered. "I mean…yes – the classics are amazing, but you need pop culture too. This isn't a library, it's a history museum."

Kurt frowned. "Stop badmouthing my library," he let a grin slide. "Not everyone can be as rich as Dalton,"

"Hey, you go to Dalton," Blaine grinned back, giving him a small kiss.

Kurt bit his lip.

"Not for very much longer," he whispered and Blaine stopped dead, one eyebrow raised.

"What?"

Kurt sighed. He didn't want to have to say it ever, but time was drawing in.

"I can't continue going to Dalton," he started and Blaine frowned.

"Is something wrong? Is someone bothering you..or-"

"Blaine, let me finish," Kurt said softly and Blaine shut his mouth, calmly leaning against a couch. His eyes were alight, his eyebrows knitted into a concerned frown. He didn't feel calm. "I can't afford it anymore,"

Blaine opened his mouth, but Kurt's hand silenced him.

"Carole and my father are doing so much to pay for my education…it's not really fair on them. I know Carole's got two jobs and dad has to work overtime," Kurt sighed. "As much as I would love to stay…I know I can't. Not if I want to go to college…"

Blaine looked at the ground. "I could pay, you know,"

Kurt frowned. "I don't want you to…besides, I miss it here,"

"I can afford it…my tuition is already paid for, and my parents ear-"

"No." his harsh tone made Blaine look up at him.

He was suddenly only a few inches away, his hands gently taking Blaine's.

"I don't want you to have to provide for me," Kurt said softly. "Not that much,"

"But I want to,"

"I know," Kurt smiled, and kissed him gently, "But you'll do fine without me,"

Blaine froze. "What?"

"You'll…do fine without me?"

"Are we…are we breaking up?"

Kurt's eyes went wide. "What? Of course not! Where did that come from?"

Blaine let out a giant sigh of relief. "You sounded so…final. Like, you were leaving Dalton and also leaving me…"

Kurt pulled Blaine into a firm hug. "I couldn't do that," he whispered into his ear. "Not after what you've done for me,"

Blaine returned the hug, pulling Kurt even closer to him.

"Are you sure I can't pay…?"

"Positive,"


A/N: SO EXCITED FOR BORN THIS WAY AND THE LIVESTREAM...CAN YOU TELL? Haha. The damn promo has already done justice to the episode, compared to NoN!
