Michael and Kurt Highschool au at the request of @obsessivelykrissy
M loves English obviously
Kurt doesn't really pay attention in any lessons, he's convinced that he'll get famous before school ends so he won't need any of it anyway
They become 'friends' when they're paired up for an English project. Kurt doesn't think about it much, pretty much accepts that he'll fail or get a low grade but the day before the project's due he gets a text from an unknown number (Michael) with pictures of the pwp slides and Kurt's half of the script
Kurt's pretty sure that doing well on their project makes them best friends and starts following Michael's round all the time, talking to him like they're much closer than they actually are.
Michael mainly ignores him but eventually he gets pissed off at being tailed all day everyday and waits until they're in an empty corridor to snap at Kurt
He basically thinks that either Kurt's in on some elaborate joke with the kids that bully him, or that Kurt is a lunatic. Either way he doesn't want to be around him.
For a few days, it seems like Kurt got the message but then Michael notices someone walking a few dozen feet behind him when he's on his way home.
He stops to confront him and Kurt catches up to him and just starts- walking with him? Picking up on a conversation they'd been in the middle of a week earlier, like he hadn't thought of anything else since.
Michael's a bit too stunned to interrupt him and just kind of goes along with it until they're outside Michael's house.
'um this is me I guess' M
'cool! I'll see you tomorrow 😆' K
The next morning Kurt is waiting outside the backdoor to Michael's house and walks with him to school like it's nothing.
This goes on for a while before Michael stops making Kurt go away in the evenings and just invites him in to finish whatever crazy rambling Kurt was going on about on the way home.
Michael gets the hint pretty quickly that Kurt's home life must not be great if he's willing to spend all his time at Michael's shit hole and decides to just accept the company instead of asking.
