the concept of you and damian helping each other out with homework.
it was a little unconventional to have your boyfriend's middle school aged brother tutoring you in college calculus, but what needed to be done would be. in exchange you helped him out with his english homework.
currently his class was doing their poetry unit currently. it wasn't that he didn't have a grasp on english literature, no, it was the emotion and the freedom that poetry allows. this was a boy who liked structure, formulas, and certainty, which is why he was able to give you math help. since abstractness and subjectivity confused him, you were able to help; but do not get him started on freeform.
during one of the many evenings that damian shows up unannounced in your apartment, and finds you and his teenage brother huddled over the secondhand dining table in your shared apartment.
jason greets you by simply kissing the back of your head and ruffling damian’s hair to the boy’s dismay. he makes you two dinner and contributes his two cents from his love for classic literature. it was the closest thing to the universal experience of child and parent working on homework at the dinner table that either of them might ever know.
