Little prompt/query

[oscarwilde666.livejournal.com]

 

So, I've realised that for some reason, in my personal head canon, Heyes teaches the Kid to read. Anyone else have this idea floating around in their heads?

Might be the first episode, where he very naturally asks Heyes to explain the word 'amnesty', or all the fun they have with Heyes' book in the Season 2 episode 'Something to get hung about'.

So if anyone feels like a prompt and wants to make a li'l fic out of this, I'd be delighted. It's just something that I was thinking about. :)

 

 

(And on a side note, I realize I'm very much being an excited new poster and posting tons and maybe forgetting to answer comments. I really appreciate everyone who comments on one of my posts, even if I don't reply because I"m busy or I get distracted by something shiny :) So just to say to everyone on this comm thanks for replying, and ALSO for making this comm exist, cause I'm loving it...)

LOL--I can totally see it. I've already written a story (More than one, actually) where Heyes mentions teaching Kid mathematics through cards and poker. I have absolutely no problem imagining him teaching Kid to read, too.

Heyes is older, he went off to the one roomed schoolhouse first--and taught Kid his letters in the yard that afternoon.

Awwww~! So sweet! :D

What a great idea. ^___^

It could work if they're cousins, or friends. If they're cousins, maybe Kid didn't want to wait to learn to read till he was "big enough" for school, and if they're friends, maybe he didn't get the chance for an education earlier in his life...?

:D Brilliant thought~~!!
