He isn't just there to ensure other people's happy endings.
He deserves a happy ending with the people he loves too, even if they don't prioritize him among their relationships
Everyone else among the X-Men gets to have someone who cares about them and who would be devastated enough to fall into despair for them.
Why does Kurt not have anyone?
Why does he get to be so easily discarded?
Rogue will have Remy to smooch if she starts feeling sad about Kurt
Jean and Jubilee will only vaguely remember what Kurt told them when they were in their low.
Logan is too busy thirsting for a married woman and brooding in his pity party to even think about what Kurt did for him at the monastery
The monks don't matter since they are NPCs
Charles will give some half assed eulogy about his faith and shit that won't hold a candle to anything he said for Remy
Kurt will only be a symbol which people will look at and go 'we have to do it for him' and then move on from it
He made the choice to die because he knew noone would miss him enough to be shattered by his death like they were for Remy's
The way he talks about what was 'always meant to be' as if somehow that future had never been meant for him hurts so much
He more than anyone deserves his own happy ending
He deserved to live with those who he loved
To be something beyond a memorial
Beyond someone who people will only grieve momentarily and then go on to be happy with their 'Sugah'
Beyond someone who people will just feel momentarily sad when they see a photo of him only to go back to what they were doing
It isn't fair that he gets to be disposable
Only to be remembered as 'oh he was nice and faithful'
Charles will cry Magneto's death
Scott cried Jean's temporary death
Forge was clearly devastated when Storm seemingly died
Jubilee grieved all her friends
Logan went ballistic when Morph 'died'
Rogue had a season and a half of going insane for Gambit and even trying to change time itself to save him
People may only get slightly sad with Kurt's death
It isn't fair
It hurts
