When Blaine first helps Kurt with his homework at Dalton, he expects the pristine state of his bag and the organization and the neat-freak tendencies that Kurt has never been able to suppress, all lined up nicely to be picked apart. What he doesn't expect is Kurt's handwriting.
Blaine knows it's awful and stereotypical and horrible of him, but his subconscious had somehow conjured up two possible outcomes for the way Kurt writes: precise, narrow, angular letters and looping, scrawling, delicate cursive. It's only natural to think that Kurt's writing must be measured and carefully; that's the way the rest of him always has been. Blaine's never had a reason to think differently.
"Let's get started on the essay," he says, and Kurt rolls his eyes at having to handwrite a copy because really, these aren't the Dark Ages, though he wouldn't be surprised if their teacher had yet to be informed. Blaine smothers a laugh and says really, we have to get to work. Kurt sighs.
When Kurt writes out the title, Blaine has to double take. Essay on the Hero's Journey Archetype is scrawled along the top of the page messily, letters overlapping every which way; they're too small and too sharp and too wild. It's distinctly boy in a way that makes Blaine want to laugh and demand an explanation at the exact same time.
"It might be a little messy," Kurt says awkwardly when Blaine gapes like a fish, "My writing is awful."
Blaine just shakes his head and helps Kurt plan an outline, all the while marveling over the fact that, for once, something about Kurt isn't completely controlled. He thinks he likes that. He thinks he likes it a lot.
Review? There may be more drabbles to come if anyone's interested :)
