Puck/Kurt, Lit.Nerd!Puckklair716December 5 2011, 15:51:32 UTC
So, I've read plenty of stories where Puck is secretly good at math, but I am a nerdy English major and I want him to secretly be in love with books. I'd prefer older stuff, like Beowulf and The Old Arcadia and Chaucer(♥3♥), but anything at all would be fine. And bonus points if he nerds out about the smell and the feel and the make of books, too.
Long story, short: Puck is a literature nerd and Kurt finds out.
It's not as hard as he would have thought, to slip away on their last day in New York. Artie's the only one who asks where he's going, but a raised brow and a cocky smirk is all he needs to see an answering grin and a "Have fun, yo."
Fun is subjective, but yeah, Puck is planning on it as he steps out of the cold air into the warmth of the used book store. It's this tiny little place that goes up instead of spreads out, out of the way and unobtrusive in all the very best ways. It smells warm, like cinnamon and old paper, and it might not be the best smell ever, but it's pretty damned close, and Puck throws a nod at the guy behind the counter and starts to grin at the sheer number of books in front of him
( ... )
His French isn't as good as he'd like it to be; Nana's been teaching him a little bit off and on, but she's not a native speaker either. Still, it's not like the novel is something he can easily find in Lima. It's calling for him, and Puck resists the urge for all of two seconds before he plucks the book off of the shelf and opens it up, bracing himself for not being able to understand a single thing

!!! Thank you so much! I don't even know French, but if I could get my hands on an early 'Candide' by Voltaire, I would just about die.
The first few descriptions of the book store are awesome, especially how it smells. Also, the comments about the different genres and authors are great. And yay for Kurt getting the book for Puck! ^_^

That was cute!
My own head canon is maths!nerd Puck (because he composes music) and Jewish mysticism!nerd Puck (because I imagine him getting stoned and writing really obscure lyrics like Leonard Cohen or psychedelic stuff) :D

Of course, it helps that I geek out in book stores the same way Puck does. *g*
