Basics in love (Baldi x Teacher Assistant Reader)

Chapter 2, Said to much

It had been about two weeks now since you've applied to be a teacher assistant. You and Mr.B had started to get very close during the freetime and prep time you two had together. You seemed to get along with him so easy..maybe even easier than your ex! This came as a surprise too you, as your ex was a very charming person. The kids had just left school and you were in the classroom cleaning up while Mr.B went to go print some papers for a test the kids had to do the next morning. "Jeez..how did those kids get crayon on the ceiling?" You had said in confusion, as you looked up at the now very colorful ceiling. You decided not to have Mr.B have a rainbow jumpscare when ever he looked up at the ceiling, so you went to go find the janitor to ask for a ladder so you could reach the ceiling and get the crayon off. You had just left the classroom room roaming the halls trying to find the janitors closest. Than suddenly you had bumped into someone. Mr.Sweeps. He was the janitor of the building, so you thought there was no better time to run into him. He was a rather tall man to your surprise, and he looked as if he just got done with something, because he had been covered in what smelled like chemicals. "Hey-! I was actually just looking for the janitors closest! I need a ladder for something. Do mind showing me where it is?" You had said looking up into his eyes. "Well of course, I was about to head there anyway. Follow me!" Mr. Sweeps had said. You and him continued too walk down the hallway till you and him reached a big brown door. "Here it is shot glass! I'll get it for you, its quite heavy." Mr.S had said, trying not to laugh at his own joke. "Thanks Mr.Sweeps- wait- did you just call me shot glass?" You said starting with a happy tone than going into a "exuse me?" kinda tone. "I'm not that short sir! I am 22 and 5'6! You're..u-..uh..-" you began to stutter trying to think of how tall and old he is. "I'm 26 and 5'9, sweetheart" he said as he laughed at your outburst of rage. "See!! Thats not too big of a difference! Just hand me the ladder!" You said, now heated that he dared to mock you for your height. A few seconds later of angry back talk, he handed you the ladder. "I should kick you in the shins right now!" You said, pissed off. "Do it you little ankle biter! See what happens.." Mr.S said with a slight smirk. You took that remark as a 'yes' and put down the ladder so you could show him what you were made of. You gave it all the strength you had to kick him into the past. You wanted nothing more than to see him cry to your strength! Than suddenly, you were about to touch his leg with your foot when he grabbed your waist with one hand, and grabbed your swinging legs thigh, and he dipped you, as if you two were dancing in a ball room. Redness takes over your whole face. You don't know what to do! You were stuck to look at the sly smirk on his face. "Good kick doll, but not good enough." He laughed. "L-let me go!" You exclaimed as you tried to hide the fact that you were indeed flustered. "And if I don't...?" He said as he pulled you closer to him. Your thigh was now touching his. "You'll have to deal with me, Mr.Sweeps." Said a serious voice behind him. Mr.S immediately let you go as he groaned. "Oh shut up- I was gonna let them go!" Mr.S claimed. "Of course you we're. I know you wouldn't want to deal with me." Said the stern voice. You looked to the side to see the stern voice belonged to Mr.B. You were more than grateful to see him. "On you go, Mr.S. Unless you'd like me to report to the principal, of course." Mr.B said seriously, not breaking eye contact with Sweeps. "This is why your pathetic wife left you! You can't let go of things. You hold grudges and you don't allow anyone to slack off even the slightest. You don't even let your own lover slack off. Everything must be perfect with you..maybe that's why you need an assistant. Too help you realize that not everyone has to be a perfect doll just for you-" Mr.S had stopped his anger filled speech of truth, and fell silent as he saw tears in Mr.B's eyes. "I..I'm sorry..I-.. didn't mean-" Sweeps had said, trying to fit a quick apology in, but he was cut off. "ENOUGH!" Mr.B had yelled. "I don't need anymore of your thoughts being spoken. You've said enough.." Cried out Mr.B as he began to stomp off. You put your self together, grabbed the ladder, and ran off to Mr.B's classroom. You were still trying to process what just happened. You picked up your paste and went inside the classroom, to see a crying Mr.B at his desk. You closed the door to the room and leaned the ladder up against the wall. "S-sir.." you said quietly as you walked over to him. He jumped up a bit and tried to hide the fact that he was crying by quickly throwing away wet tissues and wiping his tears away with the sleeves of his green turtle neck. "H-hey.." he sniffed. "Sorry..uh..uhm..a-allergies.." he murmured. "O-oh..yea of course! That's totally okay..not you fault." You said with a lower voice, pretending that you believed his 'allergies' lie. "I..I'm sorry..if things are tough right now. I cant imagine being in your place, and im so sorry you had to go through that. I-..I mean allergies suck so..yeah.." you said quietly as he looked up at you, with a small smile and dried up tears. He stood up right before you as he slowly grabbed your waist. You immediately got flustered as for your waist was one of your weak spots and his hands seemed to just know that information. He pulled you into a tight hug. He hid his face into your shoulder. "Thank you y/n.." He said, muffled. "Of course, Mr. B..." You said as you hugged him back. You didn't know why he gave you such bad butterflies, it was just something about his soft hands around your waist... "I should be thanking you as well..for standing up for me back there.." you said, thinking back about what Sweeps did. "Its no biggy.." Mr.B had said as he backed away from the hug and sat on the edge of his desk. "He is always such a flirty mess too who ever he finds attractive..honestly it gets annoying." Mr.B said, looking annoyed by just talking about him. "Interesting..guess its too bad that he isn't my type.." you said with a shrug as you went to grab the ladder. "Oh? Is it cause you have a partner? If so I can tell him to back off-" Mr.B said, now intrigued. "Actually no, im single. Just haven't found the right person, you know?" You said now propping the ladder up, right below the rainbow crayon mess on the ceiling. "Of course, of course..don't wanna rush into things." Mr.B said, exactly matching your thoughts. He seemed A little bit happy at the fact that you weren't taken. You couldn't pin point why, however. You had began to climb up the ladder with a bucket of disinfectant wipes up with you. You sat on the top step and set the bucket next to you, and grabbed a wipe from the bucket. You started to scrub the crayon off the ceiling when you heard something small fall on the floor. Mr.B seemed to find out what it was very quickly. Suddenly the ladder clasped and you started to fall off the very tall ladder than you felt those familiar soft hands around your waist, than swinging you up into the arms they had belonged to. Mr.B had held you as if you were a baby as he stepped back to watch the rest of the ladder collapse. "For the love of..god.." Mr.B had exclaimed. "A loose screw. I told him-" Mr.B groaned, referring to Sweeps,
"-not to mess the ladder's screws.." sighed Mr.B. Once he actually remembered he had a human in his arms he set you down. You were unsure if you wanted him to put you down, but you obliged. "I..i..thank you.." you said lost for words. "Of course..I would hate myself if I knew I could've stopped a possible injury to yo-...someone..but didn't." Mr.B had said. He began to pick up the pecies of the broken ladder, refusing your insists to help with the mess. "Well im off to go bring this to the principals awareness. I'll see you tomorrow?" Mr.B said as he stopped in the door frame looking back at you. "As always! See you, Mr.B!" You said happily as you waved 'bye' to him. "Please, call me Baldi-" He said with a smile as he left for the front office, leaving you behind in the classroom. You had grabbed the landyard around your neck tightly, while your cheeks glowed a light shade of pink. "S-..see you Baldi.."
