Pairing: Colton Parayko x Reader
Words: 2.7k+
Type: Fluff
Summary: Reader is a kindergarten teacher and Colton decides to go help her out with decorating her classroom on his day off.
Warnings: Reader is a kindergarten teacher. Kids (?). Just Colton melting over kids and being their favorite.
To say that your boyfriend looked cute when with kids, is an understatement. He's just the purest and most adorable person when he's close to a kid. His whole expression can change when his eyes land on the small young humans, and so does his smile and his tone of voice.
Colton is just a sight to see. And a great helper too.
The reason behind that is that you're a kindergarten teacher. You, as someone that has always loved the idea of being around kids, are still young and learning in your job on how to be a great teacher and even role model to such young kids.
Right off when you started your career, before meeting Colton, you wanted kids to have the best of experiences in your classroom. You wanted to be the coolest teacher, all because you also had that when you were younger. And that came with a lot of fun activities throughout the week and a lot of decorating to do in your classroom.
Is it tiring? Yes. But is it worth it when the kids run in every morning all excited to see you? Oh, absolutely.
Close to any festive date, you remodel your classroom with the help of your coworkers - and Colton, when he's free - and always do a list of all the activities you want to do during the week.
Imagination is key in this job.
You met Colton a year into your job. It was a random date you had set yourself in by a dating app - something your friends had forced you to try and see what would happen.
On that date, the first minutes were a bit awkward, you felt nervous and Colton felt all anxious. You were scared that it would all just be a recipe for disaster.
For an example, the thoughts that ran through your mind were all about: what if one of you just said something completely random or talked too much?
Ugh, it was stressful, to say the least.
But that was until you said what you do for a living. Oh, the heart eyes he gave you.
"So, you like kids?" He had asked you.
"Of course! Ever since I was teenager and babysat my neighbor's kid."
You won your way to his heart right away. He made you all sorts of questions about your job and just smiled all the time you would mention your favorite moments with the kids.
And when you asked about him, and he told all sorts of opportunities he has had with his job to hang out with kids. And you felt like you melted into a puddle.
