you looked into tengens eyes, trying to figure out what just happened. "stop looking at me like that, [y/n]." tengen breathed. you shook your head slightly to bring yourself back to your senses. "we shouldn't have done that." you murmur.
"did you like it?" tengen asked. you looked away out of the window, avoiding his gaze. you could feel him staring at you, making you grow nervous. of course you liked it.
but this was wrong. he was your professor and you were his student. there was no problem with the age, you were both adults. but you didn't want anyone to find out.
"yes." you reply. you hear tengen chuckle a little. he starts the car and you began to drive back towards the school. it had only been about fifteen minutes since you had left.
"tengen don't tell anyone about this." "why? are you embarrassed?" he smiles slyly. you death stare him, making him laugh a little.
"i'm serious." you growl. "of course. i won't say anything. i wasn't planning to anyways." he says. a wave of relief washes over you. at least he didn't have a big mouth. "alright come on! the beef's gonna get cold." he says putting the car in park.
he doesn't wait for you to exit the car as he starts walking towards the building. you follow him back to the classroom before going back to your personal studio. you sit your beef bowl to the side as you begin to start back up on your portrait of zenitsu.
"[y/n] come down here. i'd like to watch you do your coloring and drawing." tengen says, slurping up a piece of beef. you nod, grabbing your canvas and bag. you make your way to the little stage. putting your picture on tengens' open canvas holder, you begin to color just as before. "hm." tengen voices. you stop coloring.
"what?" you ask.
"look here." he says. he gets up and walks towards your canvas, placing a pencil by zenitsu's nose. "when you're shading here, blend a little more into the nostrils. you're blending more on the bridge making his nose look bigger than it needs to." you nod again, lightly erasing the work you had started. you do as tengen says and you instantly see results.
"oh." you mutter out loud.
tengen smiles. "i'm not an art teacher for nothing." he shrugs. he struts back to his desk, resuming his eating. you color around the hair, taking in consideration of the shading.
"it looks amazing [y/n]!" tengen cheered. you smiled at his little words of encouragement.
now you knew for sure you would have to make this the best drawing he's ever seen.
hope you all are enjoying my story so far. much love, happy reading🫶🏾
