The short ride to the hospital was awkward for Ross, he was curious as to why Mr Thatcher was in the ambulance. When the teacher said he was with him, Ross stayed silent and let the man sit next to him. Ross tried to ignore his nervousness and focus on his son, all the while Mr Thatcher silently observed. The paramedic assured Ross that it was a simple fracture but Ross still found himself panicking more than he should while his son was calm and chatted with the paramedic, it was easy for him after getting pain killers. As they arrived to the hospital, Ross waited with Mr Thatcher while his son was treated.

The silence was broken by Ross. "Um, thank you for coming. It wasn't necessary but still..." he coughed awkwardly. " Justin is fine so you can leave now. If you want." he added while staring at the teacher from the corner of his eye, trying to read his expression. The teacher's expression was unreadable as he shifted and turned to face Ross. "I'm staying. " he said in determination, his eyes burning. "O-Okay..." Ross shrugged and tried to hid a smile.

Ross tapped his fingers on his thigh as he searched after words to start a conversation. He wanted to tell him that he was ready to surrender to his advances but surely bringing that topic up would be embarrassing and inappropriate considering the situation. Ross bit his lip anxiously as he glanced at the handsome man that looked peaceful . His eyes raked over his features slowly as if memorizing every detail.

"You're staring " Mr Thatcher pointed out with a smirk that startled Ross and made him flush with red as he averted his gaze. How embarrassing.

"I like that" Ross jumped as the man whispered in his ear in low voice, his warm breath tickled Ross' ear and caused a pleasant shiver to run down his spine. Instead of protesting, he turned his face to the teacher, their noses almost touching as they gazed into each other's eyes. The next move was bold and surprised even Ross. He closed the distance and let his lips brush against Mr Thatcher's That looked surprised as well but soon his expression showed delight and a smile played on his lips, a smile that Ross returned. It was a short peck but that was all that they needed to ease the tension.

"I take it you decided to change your mind?" Mr Thatcher raised one amused eyebrow at Ross' new approach . " I guess I did. " Ross grinned " You're irresistible after all." He added flirtatiously, it seemed like the kiss broke his barrier and loosened him. He felt confident enough now that he made his mind up, his usual charismatic self returned out of nowhere and Ross was grateful that he no longer felt like a shy virgin. It wasn't like he wasn't nervous because sure enough his heart was beating wildly, but now he decided to let things go smoothly without his protest. It felt good to comply to his body wishes and so he was eager with excitement. Alison was right , Ross didn't feel that way for a while, not since Axel and that fact brought him both conflicting dread and warmth. It was indeed his choice, and he chose to take the risk and let himself drift with the feeling, he wanted to explore and learn more about Mr Thatcher. Corbin.

"Well, you saved me the trouble even though I already planned on how to persuade you. " Corbin whispered suggestively. Ross didn't back down and countered " I'm sure you can still persuade me ." he smirked. Ross felt some of the control he thought he lost , returning to him. He was determined to keep whatever relationship he would have with the teacher sexual and sexual only. That way he could successfully avoid getting hurt. He can get to know Corbin without any commitment or pressure .

It sounded good enough for now.

Corbin chuckled lightly. "I don't know what made you change your mind but I appreciate the fact you're not as shy as I thought. " Ross grinned hearing those words. Shy? He wasn't a shy person and he knew people that would support him on that. His behavior around Mr Thatcher was exceptional but now he was getting comfortable while forcing himself to not let his worries get in his way. His mind was already filled with all the things he wants to do with Mr Thatcher in bed and maybe even out of bed, he didn't know when those thoughts would be fulfilled but if he had a say in the matter he would make it happen soon.
