Daniel Brühl One-Shots [Discontinued]

Professor | Daniel Brühl

As I sit down at my desk I felt so happy to be in my last class of the day. Especially since it was with one of my favorite professors. "Early as always, y/n." He said with a small smile that made me smile back. He was probably the most handsome guy I had ever laid eyes on. I shouldn't have had those kinds of thoughts about a professor, but I couldn't help it. I grabbed my text book, notebook, and binder out of my backpack to set them on my desk. Then I waited for the other students to arrive. Every once in a while I'd look up at professor Brühl and smiled a little. Once class started he checked to see who had showed up today. Then he began teaching. I took notes and made a few doodles on a separate sheet of paper. He asked the class a question, so I looked up as he looked around the classroom. We made eye contact and I blushed before looking down to hide it. He picked one of the students who had rose their hand and they answered his question. 

I then went back to taking notes. On the sheet of paper I was drawing on I noticed I had drawn a little picture of Mr. Brühl. I was surprised that it actually looked like him, especially since I'm not very good at drawing people. I guess I just got lucky. "What is that?" A guy who sat next to me asked. I froze and felt awkward; I didn't even have time to reply to him before he snatched my drawing off of my desk. "Oh my god! You have a crush on professor Brühl?" He asked loudly and laughed at me. A few of the other students joined in his laughter. I wanted to just disappear, but I couldn't. So I folded my arms on my desk and hid my blushing face from everyone. I was so embarrassed it felt like I was going to die. "Alright, everyone calm down! I'm sure Nathaniel just wanted to get a reaction from all of you. He's a bit of a show off and a clown." Mr. Brühl said before assigning homework and dismissing the class. But I stayed hidden. I didn't want anyone to see me or look at me. All of a sudden the room was silent except for a set of footsteps that came closer and closer to me. The sound gave me anxiety. 

"Y/n... are... are you alright?" Mr. Brühl asked softly. "No." I mumbled. "It's alright. Just because you've drawn a picture of someone doesn't mean you have a crush on them. But... if you do have a crush on me it's okay. You don't have to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it." He said in the same soft tone. The sound of his voice made me feel a little more comfortable, but I was still nervous and anxious. I slowly looked up at him and felt my heart skip a beat when I made eye contact with him. His big brown eyes always look so beautiful and dreamy. "Is it your last class of the day?" He asked me curiously. "Yeah." I replied shyly. "I wanna show you something." He said with a smile on his handsome face. I gathered my things and put them into my backpack before getting up. I followed him out of the classroom and outside. 'Where is he taking me?' I wondered as we kept walking through the campus grounds. Eventually we reached a beautiful garden. It was fall, so the leaves looked beautiful mixed in with green hedges and flowers. 

"Wow. I didn't know we had a garden on campus." I said as I looked around and took in my surroundings. "Most people don't know about it. It's kind of my little sanctuary when I'm stressed out." He said, catching my attention. "I can see why. It's very peaceful and quiet here. But... why did you bring me here?" I said with a small smile. "After what was said in class I'm sure they won't let that go for a while. So if people are giving you hard time you can come here to escape." He said sweetly, and I thanked him. But I felt nervous about people teasing me about me having a crush on Mr. Brühl, especially since it was true. The two of us talked a little before we said our goodbyes. I actually sat in the garden a little to do some homework. Then I went to my dorm room. All I could think about was how people were going to treat me thanks to Nathaniel. I never really liked him, but after today I hated him. 

The next day I only had to go to the black box theater to help prepare for a play. I was on the set design crew, so I'd be doing a lot of painting and stuff. Plus I got to see Mr. Brühl again. When I reached the theater I started getting my painting supplies together. A couple of my friends were there already working. We talked and listened to music, but we didn't have the music loud because we needed to hear each other. As the day went on we got half of the backdrop finished before someone started teasing me. But it wasn't like a playful teasing, it was quite mean. It wasn't surprising considering who it was coming from; Nathaniel's girlfriend had always been a vial sort of person to people for no reason. Especially if you were different than her group of friends. "What's going on here?!" Mr. Brühl asked loudly as he ran up the stage steps and came over to us. "She started calling y/n all kinds of names regarding... well... you." My friend said awkwardly. Professor Brühl crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Nathaniel's girlfriend with an annoyed expression. 

"There's no reason for you to treat y/n like this. She did nothing wrong to you, your friends, or your boyfriend. This isn't the first time you've treated someone horribly for no reason, and if you do it again you'll be kicked out of the play. Are we clear?" The professor said with slightly furrowed brows. It was obvious that he was angry now knowing what she had done to me. I just hoped his words didn't somehow backfire on me. She was the type to blame everything wrong that happens to her on other people, even when it's her fault. "I understand, sorry professor." She said before she walked away with her friends. They started talking amongst themselves and I was glad I couldn't hear them. After a few moments everything went back to normal, but there was still tension in the air. Eventually everyone left for lunch, but I chose to stay in the theater. I sat down backstage and opened my lunchbox; I didn't feel like going to the cafeteria. I didn't want anyone to start teasing me or stare at me. 

"Do you mind if I join you?" I looked up to see Mr. Brühl looking down at me. "No, not at all." I said shyly. He sat down next to me and opened his to go container of food he got from the cafeteria. We ate quietly and I'd glance over at him every once in a while. The way he ate his food was so cute, but I didn't watch him for too long. I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable. "I'm sorry for what happened earlier." He said after we both had finished eating. "It's okay, it isn't your fault." I replied. "I know, but you don't deserve to have to deal with stuff like that. I wish people weren't so mean and rude." He said with a small frown. I wasn't sure what to say, so I just shyly rubbed his shoulder and blushed when he looked at me. He smiled and moved a little closer to me. "So you do have a crush on me." He said softly. "What made you say that?" I asked awkwardly and shyly. "The way you blush when I look at you. And the look in your eyes when you look at me." He said in the same tone of voice. I didn't get to say yes or no because people started coming back from lunch. But I know he knew then that I have a crush on him.
